House sleeps 10 which includes children and babies.

This house is really two houses connected by a breezeway. Total privacy available to parties on each side. This is a beautiful property on Icicle Road which is one of the most famous roads in Leavenworth and is the gateway to so many things to include The Enchantments, Wedge Mountain, the Icicle River, the Wenatchee River for those who wish to float for hours landing in Barn Beach. The house is really two houses connected by an expanded breezeway. The right side of the house has two bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen, dining and living room with fireplace. The left side has a master bedroom that is a former BnB with a downstairs area with another kitchen, living room with fireplace, dining room, bathroom and bedroom with three sleeping spaces (great for kids).

The property abounds with amenities. We are one of the few properties in town with a pool, (a pool that we've just remodeled and resurfaced with beautiful flagstone.) We have an "official" volleyball court, a basketball court, a firepit, a barbecue area with an outdoor wood burning fireplace (fires are typically allowed October 1 – June 30th). The pictures speak volumes.

The pool is private and for our guests only. It's on our property. It's typically open from April 1st or May 1st depending on how long winter lasts. We typically close the pool down October 1st-15th. The pool is heated and kept to around 75 degrees. When it drops into the 30's at night the pool heater typically cannot keep up and this is when we decide to close it down for the winter.

We have a long driveway so there is plenty of room for parking, the property is allowed one car per bedroom plus 1, so the max cars is 5. We cannot fit or provide electrical for recreational vehicles.

We do everything we can to keep the property absolutely beautiful year around. Recent projects include: exterior of property was just painted, landscaping has been revamped, new pool deck, new pool liner, new pool heater, new stove and dishwasher, two new twin daybeds, new bathroom just added in left side downstairs area, new grill (which we pretty much buy a new one every year because they've become like disposable lighters). The list goes on.

The county has enacted new rules for vacation rentals so that we can maintain our license. We have caps on the total number of guests, number of cars, garbage, a neighborhood noise restriction, fire safety, etc. It's all built into our listings. Common sense prevails. :)

So there aren't any surprises. We charge an extra guest fee for guests over 2 so that we can charge less for small parties and more for larger parties where people are sharing costs, as opposed to simply charging the higher amount all the time. More people means more supplies, more wear and tear, more cleaning, etc. While doing comparisons similar properties with a pool charge quite a bit more than I do.

We sometimes require a short term rental contract. Really it's just so that folks know about the house rules and the new county rules. We used to be a town that catered to bachelorette parties and the like and these days it's more so turned into a town that caters to families due to all the new rules. It seems our Fort Lauderdale Spring Break days are over.

We have updated our cancellation policy to offer a full refund if cancelled 90 days prior to arrival. We want people to be absolutely sure they are committed to coming before they book. We also suggest that guests look into vacation rental travel insurance. This can potentially offer you insurance reimbursement in the event you can't travel due to verified illness, verified travel conditions, etc. That said there are 3 ways to get to Leavenworth, Highway 90, Highway 2 and via the Wenatchee Airport. In 14 years of doing this I've never seen both passes closed at the same time. So check the pass report before driving out.

During the winter we ask guests to consider bringing a four wheel drive vehicle with snow tires or, as an alternative, chains. You will not be able to navigate Leavenworth or our driveway without these essentials. Chains are a pain to put on and take off but they will get you out of a jam in the middle of a snowstorm or if you get stuck. It can easily snow a foot or two overnight and our plow guy sometimes doesn't get to the house until the afternoon. This could put you in a bad spot on check out day. Even a four wheel drive with 2 or 3 year old tires can get you stuck (I've been there!). Having AAA is a lifesaver out here in the wintertime (and the summer). Please come prepared to drive in the snow.

As a final note, the county restricts this house to a max of 10 persons, 2 pets and four to five cars. Because of this we have to have a deterrent to unannounced or unpaid for humans, pets or cars. As a result any unannounced or unpaid for persons, pets or over the limit vehicles are charged at $100 dollars per night. Also if we come upon the property and notice unannounced vehicles or people the county in conjunction with code enforcement demands that we move towards eviction and we never, ever want to have to do that (like never, ever). So please when booking ensure that all adults, children, babies and pets are listed while booking and before paying. We thank you so much!
