When we booked mountain home lodges Pounder Rock cabin, we were excited for a weekend away from the…read morehustle and bustle of full-time jobs, kids, and pets. What we didn't know was what a special place Kathy and Brad had created for their guests. Our adventure started once we headed up a gravel road. At first, we thought we'd take a wrong turn - but no sooner that thought than a sign on a tree, "Mountain Home Lodge 2.2miles." We knew we were on the right track. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Sierra and Millie, the MHL doggies. Brad came out with Carlos to say hi, ask if we needed anything- and loaded up our things to take to the cabin. Brad made sure we knew how the things worked, turned on the music, and left us to settle in. The cabin was perfect! Chairs in front of the fireplace, fluffy king-sized bed, large jacuzzi tub, rocking chairs and table on the porch, and a comfy couch in the loft to watch a movie. Small details were not missed - light toiletries, kurieg, and coffee. Blankets on every chair inside and out and plenty of towels. Did I mention the water pressure was awesome!? Around 5:30, we headed to the Lodge for appetizers prepared by Kathy- squash soup shots with crustini, cream cheese, strawberries, and a balsamic glaze. The view was amazing while we munched on our goodies. Kathy and Brad are so friendly and full of easy conversation. After appetizers, we headed back to our cabin and played a couple round of chess - the upstairs hutch had a few games for us to play. We fired up the jacuzzi tub and enjoyed a drink while basking in the mountain. Millie and Sierra stopped by to say goodnight, which we loved being dog people. We sat on the porch with them and watched the sky change from light to dark. In the mornings, there is a delightful breakfast offered. Everything was delicious. Kathy and Brad made lovely recommendations for things to do and food to eat. We were considering a hike, and millie and Sierra offered to come along. Unfortunately, we didn't have time for a hike- but we will definitely go with them next time! While we ate breakfast in the lodge, we decided to check out the mountain with the binoculars. I think my husband spent most of his time peering at the mountain with the binoculars at the Lodge and cabin. But like I said, the small touches make this place special. It's definitely a wonderful place to unplug. The quiet, views, and accommodations are amazing. I'm so happy to add Mountian Home Lodge to our not so far- feels like a real vacation getaways.

We JUST got home from MHL…read more My husband and I stayed two wonderful nights there, perched up on the mountain, away from the hustle and bustle of the Oktoberfest celebration going on downtown, but still close enough to walk in or take a cab (we did both) when we wanted to get in on the fun. As parents of a 3 year old and a 1 year old, we have not felt this relaxed in a LONG time. Brad and Kathy have thought of literally everything. Need a wine opener? No problem. Champagne chiller? You got it. Trail maps, walking sticks, snow shoes, movies to watch, games to play.... no problem. It's all there for guests to borrow. We stayed in the Mountain Trout room, which was nicely appointed with a queen bed, super plush carpet, comfy robes, oversized towels, and really nice sheets. As we were lucky enough to squeeze in after someone else canceled, we didn't get our pick of a room, but we didn't mind at all. Included in our rate was a healthy and delicious breakfast made by the lodge chef, using many ingredients harvested from the property. We were also treated to complimentary appetizers and wine in the evenings. It was divine. Brad and Kathy take great pride in the lodge and love to share their knowledge of the local area, from where to have dinner or where to hike. Like another reviewer said; nothing feels fake. You feel like a welcomed guest in a very comfortable setting, and you leave feeling like you have made new friends. A nice touch was the balloons that were in our room upon our arrival. They knew we were there for an anniversary and this was a very sweet gesture. We also found a small bottle of port waiting for us in our room each evening. A typical day was waking up, enjoying the lovely breakfast and views, chatting with the hosts and other guests, hiking the trails immediately behind the lodge (We did the Peshastin Lookout; approximately 5 miles RT and spectacular) with the resident dog "Millie", coming back for a soak in the outdoor hot tub, then walking or driving into downtown for shopping, dinner (if not eating at the lodge), or Oktoberfest shenanigans, then back to the lodge for a game of cards in the media room. Repeat. We would come back to MHL a million times over. 5 stars all the way around. Thank you so very much!

The house is well within walking distance to all of the activities in town so you do not need to worry about parking.

We will be back when we need a place to stay in Leavenworth.

Bonnie and Brian were amazing, they were very friendly and knowledgeable about the town. Bonnie had a list of events and places to go to in town printed out for us upon our arrival with the list she also handed us a map so we would know how to get around. The house was super comfortable and cozy. We felt right at home. Our room was spacious and clean and the bed was super comfortable. Loved that everything was within walking distance. Bonnie is a great cook and she made some really great breakfasts while we were there. This was the first time I've ever stayed at a bed and breakfast and it was an amazing experience. I highly recommend Hause Chikamin to anyone coming into town. We plan to come back during the warmer months and booking with Bonnie and Brian again.

It was the most epically relaxing way to spend an afternoon in mid August. Tom Potter hooked us up with paddleboards, life preservers, and the best picnic lunch ever. He gave us some lessons on paddle boarding and sent us off. Two hours (plenty of time!) later he picked us up at a pre-designated location. He picked us up in his truck, which the inside will blow you away... It's outfitted like a limousine inside. If you have an afternoon to spend in or around Leavenworth, this is the best bang for your buck.

The type of person you feel like you've known for a while shortly after meeting them. I couldn't speak more highly of him or the experience he provided for us. If you're going to the Leavenworth area and looking to be set up for an incredible weekend, look no further. This guy does it all.

Location to the main part of town is a 10 minute walk; perfect as parking is hard to come by and most has a price.

Debbie greeted us on our return from a day of roaming town (4 of us) and cross-country skiing (2 of us) with wine and chocolates to ring in the new year.

You feel like you're home away from home. Lori, our host was accommodating and warm. She is a wicked good cook :) for breakfast one morning we had Amoretto French toast with candied bacon and mimosas and the next day this scrumptious frittata, English muffin puffies, and a sausage and potato croquet. There was fresh fruit, coffee and mimosas each morning too! We were provided yummy chocolates in our room which made me happy, cause hello. Chocolate! There is also a deck off each room. We asked to stay wherever the view was best (Alpine suite). We enjoyed sitting out there sipping wine. Another thing I love about this place is no kids, no pets and no smoking of any kind allowed. Made for a very comfortable stay. We happened to be the only ones staying this weekend so it was very peaceful. Lori told us about a great hike that starts behind the house. We took it and it was 8 miles round trip... Beautiful! The house is only a 15 minute walk to downtown Leavenworth and just a quick jaunt to the rivers edge as well. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back! Thanks for a great stay !

They were very friendly and helpful during our email communication and the website was very intuitive. After an sudden winter snowstorm of 6", our vehicle was stuck leaving us lost, cold and unsure how to get to Scandanavian Escapes. After a a quick call to Linny, Mr. Vern gladly retrieved us from our car (which was stuck in the snow!). After hearing that we had not eaten supper, Mr. Vern was nice enough to provide us with both a taxi number and a lift into town. The online pictures don't do the "Birchwood Tree House" justice, but it was our favorite room in the house. Although a smaller room, the decor was beautiful and cozy and we loved the bird theme. The private deck was a nice touch and the morning coffee + breakfast in bed truly made the tree house unforgettable- we can't recommend this room enough. Their hospitality was outstanding- we had such an incredible time at the Scandanavian Escapes that we're already planning our next stay at the Birchwood Tree House. Many thanks to Linny and Vern (and Ruby) for a very memorable weekend.

Plus your automobiles can be parked within eyesight on the 2nd level. You can walk almost everywhere from here. Walking to the local Safeway might be a tad too much for most folks though, especially if you buy a lot of stuff. I drove to the Safeway for a bottle of liquor and soda chaser, for example. I will drive to a fresh fruit stand also. We enjoyed the hotel breakfast also. The very fluffy biscuits seemed home made and the sweets(cinnamon rolls and a walnut something muffin) also appeared to be done locally. I enjoyed my cinnamon roll. Coffee was excellent, not watery. The meat protein varied and was also surprisingly very decent, not to salty. The breakfast is better than at most Hilton properties, IMHO. I highly recommend this hotel.

Seems like the lodge has been there for a long time until you walk in and it looks as fresh as a new place. I am not even sure how they did it but what a nice place with a small remote lodge feeling, but in the most central part of town. Walk out the front door and across the street and you are at the central park in the middle of the shopping area. Even a complimentary breakfast actually worth enjoying. Truth be known, the kielbasa was so good I didn't each much else. Ok, let's talk about the room. very well organized with a 4 post bed, a fire place and a very nice bathroom. We spent one evening on the little but comfortable balcony enjoying the view of the mountains and the town.
