The restaurant is pretty good, but make a reservation if you want to dine there as it gets pretty busy in the summer. The surroundings are beautiful and you can explore during the day then relax in a comfortable room at night. Staff was friendly. Note - North Cascades are not exactly close so you should have a car if you want to explore the mountains.

In all my travel experiences, fifty + years worth, I have never experienced such chaotic food…read moreservices as I experienced during my new years eve trip last month. The details are too long an involved to go into, but suffice it to say in a three night stay, the evening meals two of the three nights were 2 hour almost comical mis-adventures. After the last meal, capped off by the smell of a rotten cleaning rag left on the table behind us (reeking of rotten fish) my wife and I just lost it laughing at the complete absurdity of the whole situation. Oh, and by the way, the food ain't cheap. After the first night, I would have eaten outside the lodge, but that is impractical as the closest restaurants are in Winthrop which is mostly closed in the evening and a pretty tough drive down slick roads and back. To be fair, the new years eve celebratory meal (at $105 PP) was pretty good and not chaotic. (I am told the lodge owners were dining there that evening which may have affected the service) The lodge itself is nice, although our room, a fireplace room in the Gardner lodge was pretty worn and dated. In my mind, this place is nowhere worth what they charge and the difficulty of getting there. The upscale lodges in Leavenworth are for better,

They were so knowledgeable about the area and offered many options during our stay! The room was clean and so comfortable and the outside patio area was so pleasant from the sound of the river right outside! We were also greeted by the local deer family that would come and say hello everyday (didn't feed them). The hotel was so centrally located, that we could easily access the national park, Main Street and surrounding stores in just a few! Would recommend this hotel!

I've only stayed in one other hostel in my life (in Portland, two years ago, and it was so bad I'm…read morepretty sure I didn't even write a review) and I vowed I never would again. But a couple of weeks ago I was taking a spontaneous trip up the North Cascades Highway and was looking for a place to stay in/near Winthrop. Literally the ONLY place with availability was the North Cascades Mountain Hostel. So, a bit reluctantly, I booked a bed. Imagine my surprise when I arrived. This place was fantastic. So clean and quiet, and just a block from Winthrop's cowboy-themed main street. I quickly found my bottom bunk and went to explore the town - but not before chatting with another hostel guest, who was from Germany and had just finished the PCT. So cool! After galavanting around the wooden sidewalks and having a beer at the Old Schoolhouse Brewery I returned to the hostel, grabbed a book of short stories from the bookshelf in the kitchen, and chit-chatted with the only other person sharing my room (a woman from Montana) until I drifted off to sleep. This place was clean and cute and I'd definitely stay there again. I was there during covid, so they are doing limited occupancy and masks are required. It was a great deal for $38/night, which I booked directly on their website.

An excellent value! I had never stayed at a hiker hostel before, but if they are all like this one…read moreI sure will try more of them. The bunkhouse was clean and comfortable.

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.

My family and I rented this place for a few days after Christmas and wow, were we impressed. As we…read morewere traveling with 3 families - a total of 7 adults, and 3 kids under 5 - we were able to bring 3 cars with us. The rental was spacious with one master, and two additional bedrooms. One bedroom had both a bunkbed and a queen size bed. In addition, there was a pullout sofa bed in the living room. The kitchen had all the necessities we needed. In fact, I could have baked something if I knew baking ware was included. And all of the cooking pans, tools and other kitchen amenities were of quality. No scratches on the pans as I normally see in other places we have rented. The view was stunning as it was the water and mountain that took the view. Not even a 5 minute walk, there are a bunch of bars/wineries and food options to peruse. And about 20-30 minutes drive in/out are the larger, fancier wineries. There was also a casino in the area as well. The price tag is a bit on the higher end but is doable for bigger groups so as to split the cost. I would certainly recommend this place and would love to return. Communication between the property manager and I were prompt, which I appreciate very much.

The kitchen had all the necessary utensils, plates, cups, pots, and pans. In one of the mornings, we even made pancakes! Bathrooms were large enough which was nice especially in a large group. Red Apples was about 10 min away. Beware though, if you're hungry in the middle of the night, make sure to stock up in the fridge because their grocery stores are not 24-hours like in Seattle. Fortunately, I brought enough beef jerkeys. We didn't have time to explore Downtown Mason, but that was only two blocks away. Boat and other water activities rentals were also two blocks away which was great! We rented a boat and went on a winery tour in Chelan. Downtown Chelan was about 30 minutes away from where we stayed at, but the drive wasn't too bad. You do need to take out the trash and put in a load into the laundry machine before you leave though. I think that's normal if you're renting for a few days. The only downside was the noise upstair. There was another bachelorette party above us so I was able to hear them in the middle of the night whilst I was trying to sleep. However, the noise wasn't too bad since the other gals in my group slept quite well. I was just a light sleeper. Debbie, our main source of contact was very professional. We were able to check in early. Tracey, I think that was her name, was very helpful as well. Our code to get into our place didn't work so we had to get another code. Tracey, who was there when we arrived, made sure that we had a code that worked. But other than that, I would definitely come again with my family. If only they accept small dogs. I would definitely bring my Maltese if they allow it. :)

We stayed in Cabin #12 and it was very nice. It was clean and neat. It came equipped with a full kitchen. We used the refrigerator but did not cook. There was a stack of napkins on the nook table but no paper towels available. Next time I'll remember a roll. The deck was right above the river and was very scenic. The hot tub was very useful to us and we sat in it stargazing for hours. The setting is private with privacy screens on both sides. We had neighbors on both sides of us who were also outside but all was peaceful. Good nature sounds out there. The check in procedure was flawless. It was all faceless and we never entered the office or saw any staff at all. They had our credit card number and sent us an email the day we arrived with the key box code. I'm assuming Covid prompted that procedure but it was smooth. There were a couple rocking chairs and a couch in the tv area. Under the tv was a DVD player and we watched some old Bogart/Bacall movies. Very cool. We already booked another trip next time Washington Pass is clear.
