When we were engaged a year later, Spring Creek Ranch was at the top of our list for venues. Ultimately we chose Spring Creek Ranch for the following reasons: -beautiful venue, with amazing trees which we really wanted because we wanted to get married under an epicly beautiful tree -Sarah, great communication, flexibility and attention to detail -affordability, we rented it for the full weekend at the price we would have paid to rent a place for an afternoon at traditional fancy wedding venue -location, walking distance to Winthrop meant we didn't have to worry about how to get guests home if they partied hard -extremely flexible, no requirements to use specific vendors for anything and a reasonable sound policy allowing for the late night party we wanted. All in all, we would highly recommend Spring Creek Ranch.

We contacted Stewart Dietz Catering to cater an engagement party that we hosted last May at our…read morehome. Stew was amazing. She is more than a caterer, she is able to see and advise on the whole event. In our initial meeting she listened to what we were envisioning and helped us through the whole process. Stew has a wealth of knowledge not only in catering but in what works best when hosting an event in the Methow Valley. Stew was thoughtful to make sure no detail was left forgotten. Something that really stood out was the quality of ingredients she chose. We wanted to stay as local as possible and use the freshest ingredients. With those guidelines and guests dietary restrictions Stew went above and beyond by creating a gluten free dish for our bride and developed a flavorful seasonal menu that everyone loved. I would highly recommend Stewart Dietz Catering for any event you have, it was a pleasure to work with Stew and her professional staff.

I can't say enough about her tasty eats, refreshing drinks (peach-tea-lemonade was dynamite), and delectable sweets (definitely get the emmer pecan chocolate chip cookies), but know they were all off the charts! Stew takes the extra time to make sure you get your menu dialed-in to meet your guests' appetites as well as your budget. From there, Stew takes the reins and pulls in the freshest ingredients from around the Methow Valley to compile a gourmet spread that's bound to dazzle even the pickiest of eaters in your crew. Thanks again for making our party such a success, Stew! I definitely recommend her team for your next big event in or around Winthrop, WA. Be sure to load up on the homemade relish too... incredible!!

Stehekin, Washington is a hidden, remote oasis, and I'm so grateful I had the chance to visit and…read morestay at the North Cascades Lodge at Stehekin earlier this month. I planned my trip to North Cascades National Park a bit later than usual and was nervous that lodging options would be limited. Luckily, with a bit of sleuthing, I discovered the lodge typically has a two night minimum but that there happened to be a single night available on the exact day I was planning to visit. One quick phone call later, I had a room at the North Cascades Lodge at Stehekin booked! Our ferry ride over was less than ideal (despite the stunning views) so the moment we arrived in Stehekin my entire mood shifted. The scenery somehow became even more breathtaking and the peaceful remoteness of the area was *exactly* what I had been craving. I had been looking at pictures of Stehekin in the days leading up to my trip, eagerly awaiting my own experience. Check in at the lodge was quick and easy due to its perfect location just steps from the ferry landing. Our room had a classic lodge feel (simple but cozy) with two beds (yahoo), a larger-than-expected bathroom, a small kitchenette (mini fridge and coffee maker), and a patio with two chairs. The bed was super comfortable, I took a great nap and had an excellent night of sleep as well. The patio was a wonderful spot to relax in the evening even though all rooms share that setup and it's a popular hangout in the evenings. The only minor drawback was the occasional passing car which slightly interrupted the otherwise serene lake views and peace and quiet. For dinner, we ate at the lodge's restaurant (The Landing) where I ordered a delicious sandwich with fries. It's counter service setup though staff brings your food to the table. The service was friendly and efficient. While the prices were on the higher side, it's understandable given the remoteness of the location and well worth it, in my opinion. On the topic of price, there is no free WiFi at the lodge, you have to pay $5 for a designated amount of WiFi (either data or 24 hours, whichever comes first). The red bus and blue bus are added costs as well and there are no bikes available for rent at the lodge. Even so, one of my favorite parts of staying at the lodge was the community feel, ESPECIALLY with so many PCT hikers passing through!!!! Some were staying overnight, others were recharging their phones, grabbing food, or just relaxing while waiting out the heat. I absolutely loved chatting with the thruhikers - they were so kind, so, so inspiring, and full of stories even though they just recently set out on their treks southbound to Mexico. I genuinely wish them the best on their incredible, life-changing journey #jealous. All in all, North Cascades Lodge at Stehekin is the perfect base for experiencing this magical corner of Washington. I can't wait to return and next time, I'll hope to stay even longer.

Few places in the world have the effect that Stehekin does. Quaint, majestic beauty, quiet, and at…read moretimes surreal. For example, we were sitting at the landing, waiting for the boat to take us back to Chelan, and we saw a deer wander by followed by bald eagle landing in a tree a few hundred feet away. That happened in the span of 10 minutes. Needless to say, if you've never been up this direction, it's well worth your trip! the lodge is literally one of the only businesses up here, and if you're not staying here, the main reason you would visit is to grab something from the small store, or to grab food from the restaurant. We tend to come here for lunch on the day that we are leaving, and it never disappoints. The burgers are good, the sandwiches are solid, and on our last trip, we found that the desserts are nice. Nothing fancy, but certainly a step up from Camping food for anyone that's coming off the PCT! They have plenty of beer and wine options. We found it was surprisingly nice to have a glass of a red blend on the deck overlooking lake Chelan! Again, a spot well worth checking out and one that has some solid option for your remote eating and drinking pleasure!
