My work office is driving a city bus with a million dollar view of the Cascades, Mt Rainier, the Olympics and Space Needle. Dale flies his awesome office with equally, ok sometimes better, more spectacular views. And much less traffic! Takeoffs and landings were so smooth, Dale knows the history and people in the area and always made sure we were comfortable during the flight. We were less than a minute away from our RV at Kamei Campground and took off toward toward north Lake Chelan, the mountain vistas and smaller inland lakes and trails. We landed at the Stehekin State Airport then visited Stehekin Pastry Company, Rainbow Falls and the original Stehekin School. We took off then flew over to Stehekin Valley Ranch for dinner, met some of the nice staff and guests there, then we took off for the final flight back to Manson, admiring the sights and enjoying the personal and actual history of the area from Dale. Everything was memorable - the flight, sights and stories, the people we met, the food and the unique experience of flying, taking off and landing 3 times in a helicopter. There is a 3-passenger and 500-lb max for the flight. You're given headphones to muffle the engine noise and provide communications during the flight. No reports of motion sickness from the family, ventilation was good and even a light rain was fascinating as it beaded off the bubble canopy on the return flight. Bring a camera that can take photos and videos but remember to put it down every now and then to truly admire the smoothness of the flight and in-your-face natural beauty of the area. You'll also appreciate the history that Dale tells you with pride about growing up to work, raise a family and enjoy his home space on land and in the air. A mile of road takes you a mile, a helipad can take you anywhere and generate so many smiles! We highly recommend Lake Chelan Helicopters for a truly memorable experience from Chelan to Stehekin.

We did the Lady of the Lake for a one day round trip. We went to Stehekin…read more I am so glad we found this gem. Expensive but we enjoyed it so much. I, specially enjoyed the off season crowed. Our boat and our bus tour in Stehekin was not full at all. In fact, many of the people on the boat were actual residents of the area. We had an outstanding time! Our bus tour was excellent. We walked to the falls and then stopped at the bakery. Yes, it was closed for the season but the bakery owners left some of the pastries out for anyone to stop by and purchase what was left. In our drive we saw a momma deer with her 2 fawns. Then we stopped to see the salmon fishing up the river - what a treat! We want to come back and stay overnight. The customer service was great on the boat and at Stehekin. I wish i could afford living here haha It is one of this places that i did not want to write a review because i want to keep it a secret.

Once in Stehekin we took a 30 minute narrated bus tour to Rainbow falls. Saw the one room schoolhouse still in the works today.

We booked a 4-hour private wine tour with Russ, expecting visits to four vineyards for our group of…read more10. First impressions were great--the bus was clean, he was a safe and professional driver, and he shared a few fun facts about Lake Chelan along the way. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite match our expectations. Instead of four vineyards, we were taken to two vineyards and one tasting room. It also seemed like the stops were limited to places he had memberships with, rather than showcasing a wider variety of the many beautiful wineries in the area. Additionally, none of the locations offered food, which was surprising and made the experience feel a bit incomplete--especially for a planned wine tour. Overall, while Russ was kind and professional, we would likely plan our own reservations next time to ensure we visit the wineries we're most interested in and have a more well-rounded experience.

My husband and I stayed here during the Chocolate & Wine event in a one bedroom unit. The unit…read moreitself is a tad outdated, but it does offer beautiful, breathtaking views, which we really enjoyed. The beds were just okay obviously not as comfortable as our bed at home. The TV and sound system could definitely use an update, and I don't believe it was a smart TV. The front desk staff were not very friendly. They kept calling us on the day of arrival and again on the day we were leaving, which felt a bit excessive. I did appreciate the complimentary toothbrush and razor, though that was a nice touch. The kitchen amenities and sink area were also very nice and convenient. The biggest drawback was the smoke alarm beeping in the middle of the night. It really disrupted our sleep. I understand maintenance may have needed to come in, but I wasn't comfortable with someone entering while we were out or disturbing our privacy while we were inside I'm a bit particular about that when my belongings are in the room. Overall, the views were the highlight, but due to the outdated features, staff experience, and the alarm issue, our stay fell short of expectations.

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.

We stayed in the poolside floor for a bachelorette weekend and had a blast. You could fit up to 10…read morepeople and the place was still spacious! 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. :)

Easy to stay busy, easy to just relax too. Jaci has done a fantastic job realizing the potential of this spot. You can tell she cares about every detail, and it shows.
