HCW was the perfect place for our group of 11 to stay for a long ski weekend. Close to the trails, spacious enough to accommodate a large group. We cooked most of our meals - the kitchen had everything we needed including two dishwashers and an endless supply of dishes so we never ran out. We enjoyed the hot tub, fireplaces inside and out, and the river view. Great communication with the host with recommendations and information about the surrounding areas. Will definitely come back next year.

The lodge exceed our expectations! It was absolutely stunning and the views were amazing! It was extremely clean even decorated for the holidays! The owner was absolutely wonderful! With unpredictable weather around the time of our stay, she kept us updated and provided an alternative route to get there due to flooding on the pass we were going to be taking. I can’t say enough about how perfect our trip was!Thank you Shannon!

Nice quiet retreat

This house is perfect. Away from neighbors every detail is perfectly thought out. It was the relaxing get away that my group of 12 adults needed. Every bed was comfortable, plenty of space to spread out, and lots of room around the kitchen table.

We had a most wonderful family vacation in this fantastic house. It has everything anyone could possibly want in a getaway home. We were a family of 10, ages 18 to 87, celebrating 2 graduations, needing a place where everyone could have good time. All the rooms were well appointed, the kitchen was fantastic, and between rafting on the river, the pool and hot tub, and the game room, plus all the deck-sitting spaces for games or eating, this place had everything anyone could possibly want. We loved our time here in aptly named paradise.

AMAZING getaway!

We went out for a yearly weekend cabin getaway with a group of couples, this has been by far the best house we have stayed at and the best experience! Shannon was amazing to book with and very friendly, the home was beautiful and we utilized the hot tub and sauna to the full extent. We will book again and hopefully book to to experience the home over the summer! The views were immaculate as well.

Our family booked this lodge for our annual family vacation and had an absolutely amazing time. The lodge offered something for everyone in our group, from our two young grandchildren to the grandparents. The trails, pool, hot tub, sports court, as well as the great selection of movies and games helped us create wonderful memories.

Absolute oasis for six couples

We loved our stay. Everyone had plenty of room but also lots of places to come together. The kitchen is better stocked than any rental I've ever seen. The setting is beautiful and secluded. We had planned to go into Leavenworth for more meals but ended up staying at home because it was the best venue!

Amazing Lodge for a Weekend Getaway

I stayed at HCW Lodge with 9 of my childhood friends for our annual get together. This house had it all and was perfect for our group. The accommodations where very comfortable - and the kitchen had everything we needed. From the sport court, to the pool and river access - this was a weekend to remember. We stayed four nights and all guests shared they could have continued staying there longer with all of the activities for recreation and relaxation!

Christmas wonderland

We came up to see Leavenworth over Christmas. It was a bit of a trek to get into town (like 35 minutes or so) but the scenery coming off the mountain was nice to look at. The house was more than large enough for all of us. The teenagers loved the game room with the pool table. The kitchen was awesome and accommodating for my family of 10. Everyone wants to come back up at summer time now. You won’t regret staying here!
