HUGE Mt VIEWS, HGTV SHOW LOG HOME - GATED DEVELOPMENT, CLE ELUM MINUTES AWAY!!!
Alpine lodge is a magnificent cedar Log home with close to 3400 sq. ft. of space. This custom built home has been featured on the European HGTV network and showcased in log home shows around the USA and abroad. All 3 floors offer magnificent views of the Stuart Mountain Range, glaciated peaks and forested foothills where trails abound. The lodge sleeps 14 on beds. A winter time highlight is the private and fully illuminated custom designed / excavated 150 yard sled hill with multiple runs. There are also plenty of hiking / mountain bike trails, cross country skiing, fishing, golf courses and more right outside the front door AND about 10 minutes away from Roslyn, Cle Elum and Suncadia Resort. Great for families, with amazing summer and winter activities...
THE LODGE FEATURES: Alpine Lodge is very functional for up to 14 guests and is tastefully decorated. The Lodge is very spacious, has a gourmet kitchen that is well stocked, features stainless steel appliances and beautiful slab granite counter tops. A massive wooden bar slab countertop extends from the kitchen into the Great Room dining area. This kitchen is the perfect set up when cooking for families, has plenty of space and is well stocked to prepare even a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. A BBQ is located on the covered back deck and is just steps from the kitchen. You can’t miss all the vaulted magnificent cedar walls, pine ceilings, log supports that make for cozy private and intimate living areas. The spacious open floor plan features a large great room with a 22 ft. high ceiling and an energy efficient wood burning Stone fireplace, (A nice advantage over Suncadia Properties that do not allow for wood burning fireplaces). The large hearth is perfect for warming up and drying out after a day in the snow or fishing the rivers and lakes near the property. A second gas burning fireplace stove is located on the main floor in the window encased sunroom, a perfect place to submerge in a good book or enjoy quiet conversations or games.

PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED: Alpine Lodge has professional cleaners. Our agency contracted follows the CDC and Washington State cleaning guidelines. Between guest stays all sheets and bedding are professionally washed off site. We hire a professional cleaning company who assigns the same person to clean the lodge between all guest stays as this person understands the lodge and takes pride in the work done to present a lovely, clean environ for all guests. Cleaning the lodge takes all day as all surfaces, bathrooms, door handles, light switches etc. are cleaned entirely, floors are disinfected, kitchen countertops, tables etc. all cleaned to the highest standards. All linens from sheets. pillowcases to towels, duvet covers etc. are all taken off site, cleaned professionally and returned to the lodge between guest stays.
BEDROOMS & BATHS: Flexible sleeping accommodations allow up to 14 guests in beds. The rooms are furnished with comfortable Sealy pillow top mattresses and comforters duvet covers for bedding, blankets with soft linen sheets along with plenty of pillows and additional throw blankets. On the upper 3rd floor there are two large bedrooms with vaulted ceilings. The master bedroom has a sliding glass door leading to a large private outside deck, a king bed, twin bed with a twin trundle bed and a stylish master bathroom. The second 3rd floor bedroom has a queen bed with two twin beds, two large windows overlooking the sled hill and a private washroom just outside the bedroom door. This allows for up to 8 guests between both bedrooms. The main floor master bedroom is quite large, has 3 big windows and is just off the great room and kitchen area. It features a queen bed plus an additional twin bed with trundle bed. This bedroom sleeps up to 4 and has a huge bathroom with double vanities and an oversized bath just outside the bedrooms French doors. Rounding out the sleeping options is a 2 person pillow top double bed on the lower-level 1st floor TV & games room / bonus room or bedroom area. This room also features a large washroom facility with full shower, toilet and sink. Many guests use this area as a fourth bedroom and kids love it!
WHAT IS THERE TO DO AT THE LODGE? What guests write about most is the natural beauty surrounding the property, the abundance of trail walks and mountain bike trails but the obvious wintertime highlight and most talked about is the custom built "private" 150+ yard sled hill, “Luke's Luge” which is illuminated by large 1000 watt halogen lights for night sledding = days of family fun.. Enjoy three different runs like Ryan’s Express, Stephens shoot or for the experienced sled fanatic at the back of the property, “The Bullet”. The hill also can double as a fun snowboard or beginner ski hill. In summer the hill is great to Mt. bike down or hike from as it leads to many trails on or around the property and into the wilderness. What else? Outdoor recreation opportunities abound with easy access to the Taneum / Manastash trail that provides over 600 miles of groomed trails for snowmobiling, ATV and dirt bike riding. In the surrounding area enjoy cross country skiing in the Yakima River Valley or the miles of groomed trails in Suncadia 10 minutes from the Lodge. About 25 minutes away enjoy downhill skiing at any of the four Snoqualmie Pass ski areas that boasts one of the largest night skiing operations in the country. Nearby Suncadia operates an ice-skating rink, restaurants and Bars as well as a must visit to the “Northern Exposure” (TV-show) town of Roslyn Washington. Feel free to bring your own snowmobiles as the home enjoys quick access without driving, to miles of terrain. In warmer weather enjoy horseback riding, white water rafting, and an abundance of fly-fishing guides in the area can provide a custom experience for all especially on the Yakima River which is known nationally for its exceptional catch and release trout fishery. Challenge yourself to 18 holes of high mountain golf at nearby Suncadia’s Golf Courses or sharpen your game at the Sun Country 18-hole Golf Course, which you’ll pass on the way up to the Lodge and two minutes from the Private Development front gate. Lastly, for the astronomer, a dream comes true! Just turn your eyes towards the heavens and behold a myriad of constellations and stars from the comfort of your 44-foot front deck at any time of year.
Book your vacation NOW at Alpine Lodge! Many of our guests continue to return for visits year after year!!

I mean seriously. Magical. If youre considering booking this place for snow and winter beauty, just do it. There is no place comparable. Lighted sled hill. Forrest trails. Snow in the moonlight. Log cabin. Wood burning fireplace. This place is ridiculous. Its exactly what youre hoping for. Host is awesome. Kitchen is great and well stocked. Very clean. Forrests mountain views. Family fun and memories. One of my favorite stays anywhere. Will be back as soon as we can.

Snowy getaway
This was our second visit to this beautiful lodge. Both times our family enjoyed hours of sledding on the private hill complete with lights for night time fun. This is a well equipped comfortable home with lots of space for a large group. The owner was super welcoming and quick to respond to any questions. Another wonderful experience!

Beyond expectations
We had a very high expectations coming to this place and everyone was just blown away. The house is fantastic so much room bedrooms are great. Kitchen was well stocked and the fireplace was perfect. There is a sledding hill right next to the house so you don’t have to go anywhere And the kids used it constantly so I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for some winter Wonderland fun

Wonderful home in a great location!
Our family of three spent a long weekend here to sled and play in the snow and we could not have had a better time! The sledding hill is SO fun and we spent many hours out there. Someone had built nearly an entire igloo out back which my 5 year old loved so much. The house is big and comfortable and when we weren't playing outside we were cuddled by the fire and cooking meals in the fully equipped kitchen. We loved the location of the house - super private but still easily accessible. We'll happily be back in the future!

Love this cabin
This is our second year staying in this cabin. The owners were wonderful and very responsive as always! LOVE the sledding hill (as did the kids). We had a full house and it didn't feel crowded at all, lots of space for eating, sleeping, and playing. Will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Christmas getaway!
This property listing doesn’t do this Cabin justice. It is completely updated inside and has so much more space than shown. Our family of 7 had an absolute blast and wish we could have extended our stay longer! We arrived at night to a plowed drive way, the house completely heated and all lights on for easy access. The owner mark and the house keeper Jessica were absolutely the nicest individuals ever. Great communication and excellent pre arrival information. May I also include the fact that our 5 kids and dog lived on the sled hill out back. It was a dream and worth every penny.We will be back next year! Thanks for the amazing vacation.

Another Memorable Stay
In what is becoming a tradition for us, we stayed here for a birthday getaway in the mountains with our 13 year old daughter and her friend. When asked where she wanted to go for her birthday, she picked to stay at the lodge again. She loves it that much! The girls spent most of their time in the game room downstairs, and we all enjoyed the fireplaces, the spectacular views, and just spending time together. The lodge never disappoints, with its general coziness and good vibes. Thanks for having us again!

Great weekend trip!
Cabin was such a great get away for the weekend. We really appreciated that there were sleds we could use. While we didn't use the washer, we noticed that it was full of water (it seemed stuck or something) & smelled funky in the room it was in, not a big deal though. The kitchen was stocked with all the items we needed to cook some grub & we loved seeing the morning mist come through the trees. Thank you for the great time!

I believe this is our 5th year going to the Mtn House. We Love it!! the kids sled all day along with adults into the evening. Family games and meals around the big Table. Outstanding Views on the front covered porch of the Mtns. A big roaring fire in the fireplace to cozy up to in the mornings and after sledding. Games for the kids downstairs . And the Best Part no TV or wifi to distract. Thank You Mark and Caroline and Jessica for the wonderful time!!

Labour day weekend
My family and my friends recently had the pleasure of spending Labor Day weekend at the Luxury Log Home near Suncadia in Cle Elum, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional.
The check-in process was seamless and stress-free. The property manager provided clear instructions well in advance, and we were able to access the home without any issues. The keyless entry system was convenient, especially after a long drive. It was a great start to our weekend getaway
The cleanliness of the property was impeccable. The log home felt warm and inviting, with every surface spotless, and the linens and towels were fresh.

Misrepresentation of amenities
We rented this Vrbo for 4 nights. When I booked it, a hot tub and wifi were listed as amenities, both of which we specifically filtered for in our search. Upon arrival, it didn’t have either. It was a trip for a family if 11, which we spent months preparing for and the lack of those amenities had significantly negatively impacted our experience. When I notified the owner of the misrepresentation and requested partial reimbursement, he said that their owner dashboard doesn’t show hot tub or wifi and to take it up with Vrbo.
Otherwise, nice property. Just not what we had hoped for.

Disappointed - Would NOT stay again.
We would not stay here again. We booked for mid-February 2023 and stayed only 1 out of 3 planned nights. Despite the beauty of the surrounding area, this lodge’s standards have clearly slipped. The most unacceptable condition of the property was the unplowed driveway, which we emailed the owner a week prior to our stay to ensure there would be no issues getting to the cabin. We were reassured by Mark (the owner) that housekeeping plows the driveway. It was SOLID ice; a few inches think. Our mini-van couldn’t traverse the driveway. The 4x4 pickup made it up the ice sheet once, but it now has a new paint job after sliding down the ice and into one of the bushes on the low side of the driveway.
The level of neglect of the driveway was unacceptable. My husband and I literally had to crawl on our hands and knees to get up the driveway because it was so slippery. We saw footprints going up the side of the driveway going underneath a bush, perhaps this is how housekeeping got to the cabin. Regardless, we couldn’t get to and from the cabin and do any of the other activities we had planned in the surrounding area.
We did finally make it inside to discover crumbs in various rooms on the floor, stained sheets, cobwebs and dust in the master bedroom, the leather couch downstairs was ripped, huge wrinkles in the carpet that are tripping hazards, and trash in various cabinets/drawers. The oven was filthy and we had to clean out huge chunks of burnt food. The sheets were terrible. There were stains the size of a post-it notes on one of the twin beds as well as droplet stains on various pillow cases.
I contacted Mark after arriving to tell him about the terrible condition of the driveway and he said it must have been the “freezing rain” the night before. He was very surprised the driveway was that bad. Again, it was clear this driveway was neglected. And it wasn’t freezing rain – there were no issues with any roads up to the cabin’s driveway and no sign of ice on any trees in the area. The final straw was when my elderly father slipped on the ice just walking outside the house at the top of the driveway (the flat parking area) and hit the back of his head. I contacted Mark again stating that we had to leave. He offered to put additional sand and salt down, but after the lackluster accommodations and inability to use the driveway to get in and out, we had enough.
I hope this feedback will improve the interior of the cabin as well as the standards of the care.

This is a very nice cabin in a secluded forest and mountain area. The host is very responsive and accommodating. The property was clean and everything was in working order. The listing does indicate that there is Wi-fi available, but I think they mean that you get pretty good cell service. There is no internet access on the property so plan accordingly. The listing also has the little snowflake icon which you may think means air conditioning, but it only has central heating, not cooling. The cabin is well designed and insulated so even in the summer heat it doesn't get that hot inside. However, if you are used to AC it will be warmer than you are used to, especially upstairs.

A beautiful house, very solidly built. The house stayed remarkably cool even though it was quite hot. Well appointed and served 2 couples and 2 adult children very well. We were wishing we had a little more time to enjoy the stay - we were there for a wedding in Ellensburg. It is the perfect holing-up spot when you have noplace else to be! Check in was easy, communication was great. Highly recommend.
