This is our third time staying here! Location is perfect and we all love being able to sled right outside! Clean and well appointed, and one of the easiest check in/check out process that we have experienced.
This was our second time staying here for our family Leavenworth trip. Very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Lots of space for the kids to play and a big table for the whole family to play games at. The sled hill was perfect and we all enjoyed it! Perfect location for getting to town.
Loved this home, beautiful rolling hills in a country setting just outside of Leavenworth. I believe this home is fantastic for a large family with a 3rd floor that could hold a family of 6 second floor entry level with primary suite and lower level with a bedroom and separate lounging area. 3 bathrooms. Large dining table and a great kitchen. We were very pleased with this home & has great parking.
Thank you For letting us enjoy your home away from home⊠it will be on the top of our list the next time we visit Leavenworth.

We spent the weekend at squirrel nut lodge to celebrate my 40th birthday with friends and family. The home was beautiful inside and out. The home was clean and fully functional. Cassie was a dream to work with. She is kind, helpful and responded quickly to all inquiries. We are grateful to have found such a wonderful place to celebrate for the weekend. Would love to come back and spend more time at the lodge!
3 guys amd myself stayed there for the weekend as it was only 25 minutes to our project that was a very nice shop wiring job almost to the end of nowhere. But very nice area out there as well
The house for us worked out great. Only issue was not being able to get tv to work. But wasnât a big deal as Iâm sure it was more us not being very good with the technology stuff now days
I will for sure see if this is available again if working out in the area.
How are a recent stay with a family get together including three generations. Our youngest visitor was two and our oldest was 73. The property was accessible for all ages we found everything we could possibly need for our stay, including a well stocked, kitchen, and plenty of towels for the hot tub. Everything was very clean and welcoming. we enjoyed our stay very much and found the location. Perfect, a relatively short drive to Leavenworth, and very close to Plain, yet remote enough to be quiet and restful! We even got to see visiting deer on multiple days. Everyone had a great time. Thank you.
I will start this review with the positive details, of which there are many. This is a really nice 3 bedroom cabin, on a spectacular piece of land. The cabin was very clean, the check in process was smooth, and the owner responded promptly to our one concern during our trip.
My issue with the property is that it is listed as a 5 bedroom cabin. They are counting the downstairs TV room as a bedroom (with fold out couch), as well as an open air loft upstairs as a bedroom. This is where we can get caught up in semantics on what is a bedroom, but my definition is a closed area dedicated to sleeping, which defines neither space. This was only an issue because we stayed here with 3 young children, who had a hard time falling asleep in the loft due to noise.
If you donât have older children, or children who can sleep through adults talking below, then this cabin has plenty of sleeping areas to accommodate a very large group. It just didnât work for us.
I do want to circle back and reiterate that this is a really nice cabin, and the setting outside is as beautiful and serene and you might find in the area. I think the issue is generated by how VRBO defines a bedroom VS just a sleeping area. This house has 3 bedrooms and 5-6 sleeping areas.
Only two things prevented me from giving a 5-star ratingâ1) I try to identify quiet and secluded rentals. The impression we were given was a country house on 5 acres, when the reality is several houses are visible and a main highway wraps around the property like a horseshoe. So there is road noise outside and not a feeling of country seclusion at all, however, the beautiful setting was still mostly quiet and the impeccably tasteful and comfortable house are nothing short of divine. 2) For some reason the hot water heater only provided us with 10 minute showers. In such a large house equipped for so many guests (ours had 5) one would think a tankless hot water heater or a larger tank would be a no-brainer. The WiFi/TV entertainment system was also not adequate during our stay but that seemed the exception rather than the norm. With those issues fixed, it would have been absolutely perfect.
That said, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the stunning architecture, the wild outdoor beauty, the snow on the ground even when Leavenworth had none, the sledding hill, a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of blankets and pillows, top notch heating throughout the house as well as heated floors. Truly, a memorable experience and one of the very best stays we have ever enjoyed as a family. Would definitely love to come back!
We had a wonderful stay. Very kid friendly property- lots of separation for different sleep / nap schedules, some toys, lots of space to play.
We had a very minor plumbing concern and the property manager was in and out within 30 minutes of our call. Really great service.
Had a great time! Awesome "cabin" nice and quite and peaceful and just a 20min drive to Leavenworth and just a few mins to Plain. We will definitely be back!! Thank you again
The property is well placed between Plain and Leavenworth. It is spacious and well organized, yet offers the comforts of home. It is an amazing, peaceful feeling to walk out on to the veranda and to look out over the valley. If you're looking for rest and relaxation, give it serious consideration. What made the stay even more memorable was the attentive communication with the property manager. Always responsive and helpful.
Staying at Squirrel Nut Lodge youâll wishâŠ
You had another night
Again and again
Your car had chunky 4x4 tires as you imagine a beautiful winter holiday stay
Your home had AC like the cabin
One more cup of morning joe sitting in the rocker looking over the field
You had corn hole at home where you could secretly practice so you children wouldnât beat you
Wonderful stay. Where are a large family often makes finding a vacation rental difficult. Squirrel Nut had plenty of space and options for sleeping.
Thank you
This property was amazing!!! We had such a fun time and it had everything we needed and more. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, porch swings, and lush valley views from the back porch. This home comfortably fit our group of 10 people, and there were ample linens, bathrooms, shampoo/body lotion, etc. Other reviews said that the loft got extremely hot during the summer - we were there during an 80-90 degree week and at night didn't have any issues with that area being too warm! The air conditioning downstairs worked QUITE well and I actually got chilly at times despite how hot it was outside :). Only complaint was that the downstairs pull out couch was incredibly uncomfortable and the people who slept there the first night had to spend the rest of the trip in the loft (there are 6 single beds up there so there was room). I would highly recommend this spot for groups and families visiting the Leavenworth / Lake Wenatchee area!
Amazing place to stay for kids and a big family! Sledding outside, hot tub , view , clean , stocked and spacious . The best place we have stayed so far.
We really enjoyed staying at this cabin. It was very comforting and cozy. The jacuzzi and the view were amazing. The house has everything you need. This house is great for families and the price is good. The check in and check out process was really easy and the house was very clean. The heated floors in the kitchen made the whole experience really cozy . Planning on coming back next year.
The house is beautiful and was very clean. We came with our adult children and our grandchildren to play in the snow, visit the reindeer farm and take a sleigh ride. The house has a great sledding hill - fun for adults and kids. Beds were comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals. We canât wait to go back!
We had a wonderful in Leavenworth. The house was close to all activities we had planned and beautifully decorated. However, I was very disappointed that the loft area was so hot that my nieces and nephews had to sleep in the basement. The basement had queen rollout couch and king size bed but some family members still had to sleep on the floor. I cannot imagine what we would have done if had more family members staying with us. Quite surprised,as house seems newly built or remodeled with many amenities ,that an air conditioner was not installed in loft area. So that is why I gave rating of 4. Nevertheless, we had an awesome time in Leavenworth!
The property was amazing and the cabin was stunning. My wife and I celebrated my 30th Birthday and this was perfect for a small get together with family and friends. Felt homey and we truly felt alone in the Cascades. Best vacation rental weve had the pleasure of enjoying.
Our large family really enjoyed staying here for a nearly a week. The house is filled with light, everything is brand-new and squeaky-clean â light wood everywhere, tasteful modern furniture and appliances. This is a great place! We particularly enjoyed the large dining room table which had room for everyone. After dinner we retreated into the cozy corner around the fire place for board games. There was ample room for everybody. Our kids loved their private room upstairs, and of course the hot tub was a hit. We adults enjoyed the view over the valley from the hot tub after tough hikes too.
Every evening, incredibly tame deer stopped by the house, coinciding with the sun slowly setting. Idyllic. Although not truly isolated (there are some house and farms nearby), the house offers great privacy and a really nice view down the valley. The nearby country road has some traffic but this did not bother us at all. The only drawback were the less-than-welcoming neighbors. One of the farms further down in the valley has horses grazing out every night. Of course, our kids wanted to venture down there to see them up close. Although there are no fences demarcating property lines in the valley, our kids were admonished by the next-door neighbors to stay away and not cross their property. Of course, this is fully within their rights; yet, it still saddened us and the kids.
The house is close to the trail heads of several hikes in the Lake Wenatchee area, very close to the lake where you can find horseback riding, kayaking and paddle boarding, all of which our kids loved. Come with groceries if you plan to stay longer because you will have to travel to the Leavenworth Safeway otherwise (not a biggie, but takes time away from being in nature). In short, a perfect family vacation home in a beautiful area!
This is the cleanest and most beautiful property I've rented yet! We had a girls weekend and it could not have been better. I can tell that a lot of love went into this home and I guarantee you will have a lovely time, no matter what the occasion, if you nook here!
Our family had a wonderful stay at this property. It provided endless hours of entertainment for our family- exploring outdoors, sipping coffee on the deck, playing cards at the big table, and swimming in the hot tub. This place has lots of great spaces for kids to sleep, it can easily accommodate 12 people.
Our group loved the clean, charming home with a beautiful view. Hot tub and corn hole were a big hit. Cabin was spacious with a great kitchen. Lots to do within a 20 min drive. Owner was prompt in responding to any issues. Would definitely return.
