About this property

Chelan County CUP#1596

Discover our mountain retreat, a spacious and inviting property with quick and easy access to many area attractions including the Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA. The old world craftsmanship of cedar and stone combined with modern amenities makes this lodge an exceptional and unique property.

The lodge is situated on 3 wooded acres in a quaint neighborhood with over 5,000 square feet that can easily accommodate friends and family or just a mountain getaway.

With 6 King log beds, 3 Queen beds, 2 twins, 2 bunkbeds, and 1 foldaway bed, there are endless configurations that will accommodate your group. Due to new Chelan County restrictions of all short term rentals in the county, your group is limited to 12 guests total, including any age of children. Thank you for understanding.

There are two massive and cozy fireplaces, a large and inviting great room, fully equipped kitchen with brand new appliances, a sitting room with large dining table, and a covered 8 person hot tub and large sparkling pool open seasonally..

We have two plasma TV/DVD/VCR players and an expansive movie library. A covered sitting porch to take in the mountain air and gaze at the stars is located on the second floor. Lastly, there is also a reading balcony with chairs and large book library.

We take pride in our retreat and love it for our own family. Many families come year after year to reunite, gather, and explore. We will do everything we can to create the same lasting memories for you as well.

Area Attractions:

Snow Activities:
We are an easy 20 minute drive to one of the best ski slopes in Washington State, Stevens Pass. We are in walking distance to Wenatchee National Forest with hundreds of miles of snowmobiling and groomed cross-country skiing and sledding. Leavenworth has an affordable 'ski hill' that is ideal for kids with beginner level rope tows and an intermediate level tube hill. It is also a base point for cross country ski trails.

Fishing:
We are in easy walking distance to Lake Wenatchee and 5 minutes from Fish Lake, known for it's feisty rainbow and large brown trout. The Wenatchee River, just re-opened for Steelhead fishing after a 15 year hiatus, runs throughout the area, not to mention hundreds of mountain lakes and streams within a 30 mile radius.

Hiking:
Hiking opportunities are endless. Trailheads are along the ridges, rivers and lakes throughout Chelan County. You can take in some amazing views of the picturesque Alp-like Cascade Range that surrounds Leavenworth. Literally some of the best hiking the Pacific Northwest has to offer is right out our door.

Shopping:
The famous Bavarian town of Leavenworth is just minutes away. There are over 100 shops with a little something for everyone. Stores include international trade, food (chocolates, wine, cheese, bratwurst, etc.), art, clothes, and the unique!

Relaxing:
The lodge has 2 massive stone fireplaces to warm your feet. The hot tub is always ready to offer a relaxing dip year round. The sparkling aqua pool is an ideal place to float during our hot spring and summers.

Our property is a perfect retreat for you and your family in a rustic mountain environment with modern conveniences.

Please contact us as soon as possible to reserve the perfect time for your adventure to our Lodge!

The Perfect Family Getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The pool was a hit with the kids; the kitchen was well stocked, & there were plenty of beds & baths. Private location close to the lake & river was a bonus too.

Successful Company Retreat

We hosted our annual summer retreat for our company at this location. There was plenty of space and the pool was lovely. A very well-furnished kitchen had all of the equipment we needed and was well stocked on spices and other cooking staples. Communication with the host was easy and she was flexible when we needed to reschedule (thank you, Margaret!). The check-out process was super easy. I would happily stay here again.

50th anniversary getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Dirty Face Lodge with our extended family of 11. There were more rooms than we could use (10)! While there was plenty of room to spread out, it was also nice to have a common area for us all to come together and celebrate in the main lodge with the living room and dining room open to each other. Margaret was a wonderful host and responded to our needs promptly during our stay.

Close to wedding venue

My son’s wedding was at Browns Family Homestead just a quick trip down the road. The access was super easy. Dirty Face Lodge is large and welcoming so people could stop by and visit with plenty of room. The friend doing flowers and the photographer stayed in the bunk house as we had plenty of bedrooms. I only wish we had not been so busy with the wedding that we could have enjoyed it more.

The grounds were not top notch, but that may have been due to heavy winds before we arrived. We were a group of 12 family members.

Cozy house for a nice getaway

Property is about 25 minutes outside of Leavenworth. Close enough to head into town if you want but also tucked away in the beautiful mountains so it feels like you are at your own little retreat. Houses were clean and very spacious. The baseboards in the bottom bedrooms did not work very well, so we had the fireplaces going all day and night, with fans directing the warm air toward the bedrooms. The well water had a really pungent smell to it, so it was off putting to some of our family we had with us. The upstairs is very creaky when walking around and we all found the beds to be very hard and uncomfortable. Not enough to deter us from returning, just maybe bring a foam topper or something. Overall, it was an amazing house and we would definitely recommend it to everyone. Just a few things that we wished were different for the price being paid.

Wonderful stay

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dirty Mountain! We loved the living room and kitchen/dining area where we spent so much time playing games and fixing meals. Such a nice touch to put up a Christmas tree. The bedrooms were lovely and accommodated our family. The hot tub was a very special treat as well. We would love to have the opportunity to stay there again. Thank you to Margaret for being so responsive when there was a little issue with a bathroom door. She responded quickly to correct the issue. So appreciate her communication!

DFL experience

Great mountain location not too far from Leavenworth. Plenty of space for family. Main house decorated cute for holidays:) Could have been a but cleaner ( bathroom’s & bed linens clean) Floors , refrigerator, couches still had remanence of past visitors :/ no sound to TV in main house & bedrooms on main floor did not have working heating. Even with that said, it was still a pleasant stay for us all:) we will return again.

Very fortunate to of found a cabin to fit us all… Not to far out of Leavenworth, and a very lovely area. We felt well taken care of, and appreciated that they kept the driveway clear of snow.

Beautiful, historic home with private pool!

We loved our stay here! Margaret was fantastic to work with, always responding promptly both before and during our stay. Even with warmer temperatures, the rooms stayed cool and comfortable thanks to the many beautiful trees shading the home. The private pool was amazing and perfect for our group of preschool-age up through teens and adults. The kitchen was large and well-stocked and had plenty of seating for all. What a lovely, historic property and home! We can't wait to come back.

Rustic Charm

Great location. Lots of the rooms had king beds. Some had queens or a pair of twins. Really only 2 full baths in main lodge, plus half bath. Then guesthouse with two toilets and a very small shower stall room. Kitchen was well stocked, with dishes utensils, and a few small electrical appliances. Second refrigerator in utility room was very helpful. Main lodge dining and gathering room were bigger than expected. Pool was smaller, but kept 10 of us cool and entertained. Bring your own pool toys. Rooms in guesthouse are all upstairs, with the 3 half baths down stairs. Kid friendly with a highchair, several cribs and a pair of rocking horses, loved by the grandkids. Several key areas including a bathtub - show excessive wear, beyond the rustic charm, but otherwise very clean overall and welcoming.

15th Family Vacation

The lodge was a fun and unique experience for our 16th extended family get away. The teens loved having their own lodge & everyone enjoyed the pool and the jaccuzzi. The lake was a bit too windy to enjoy paddle boarding & kayaking but we had a fun time nevertheless playing games, grilling, hiking, and doing mini golf and the coaster in town.

Winter Wonderland Retreat!

We had a most wonderful stay at the Dirtyface Lodge! Our friends gathered from several states to play in the snow. The lodge was perfectly situated between Steven’s Pass and Leavenworth village. Love the Christmas decor and warm, cozy vibes. We had an amazing/magical/memorable reunion. Highly recommended!
