I had a marvelous one night stay at the Inn at Mazama a couple of weeks ago (July 11th) and it was…read morethe perfect way to wind down after a full day of hiking in North Cascades National Park. After our hike, we made our way to Mazama, stopping at the Mazama Store before heading over to the inn, at which point we realized how tiny and great Mazama really is! We arrived to the hotel around 2:00pm and I was happy to learn our room was ready for check in. A friendly gentleman handled the process and though he shared he doesn't usually work the front desk, you honestly wouldn't have known as check in was smooth, welcoming, and effortless. Our room was located on the second floor of the main building, and to our surprise, it was actually a loft style room which was a really fun bonus! The room also had a small balcony, a kitchenette with a mini fridge, Keurig, and microwave (I think) and even though the bathroom was on the smaller side, the shower was excellent... I love a good hot shower with great pressure. After dinner, we relaxed by dipping our feet into the hot tub before spending some time in the cozy common area upstairs which again felt warm and homey. The entire property was clean, quiet, and really well maintained. Overall, the price was reasonable, especially considering the area and the level of comfort. I had researched several lodging options of various tiers around both Mazama and Winthrop and I feel confident that I made the right choice. The Inn at Mazama is a gem for anyone wanting to unwind in nature without sacrificing comfort. I would absolutely 100% stay here again!

Ok so there are pros and cons to this inn. As an inn near a national park, I honestly wasn't…read moreexpecting much. I do expect more of a no-frills experience with spots near national parks. However, this definitely would not be a location I would stay again at. The Pros: The location is gorgeous, there is no doubt about that. The North Cascades is amazing and the Freestone Inn is wonderfully placed near several hikes. It honestly took our breath away coming up to the cabin. The price wasn't terrible for an inn near a national park during larch season as well. We paid about 500 dollars for two nights. The bed was very comfortable and the room (minus a few cobwebs) was for the most part clean. There is a restaurant walking distance from the inn as well. The Cons: The hospitality service is very lacking here. When I asked about room turnover, they said that if we want towels replaced and trash taken out, we would have to put it outside our room. Again, I was expecting no frills but this was a bit surprising. Even more surprising is that when we did receive a replacement of towels they were set on the bath in a giant stack, and not hung up. Also, there was a puddle of water in a tray in our fridge I assume was for the ice? It was definitely broken. Overall, it did the job, but have no interest in coming back.

I love this lodge and cabins because in a way, it's hidden away from town. I am one of those people…read morethat dislike to step outside right in front of traffic. I notice the other hotels and resort are located in Winthrop the downtown area, which basically have the entrance hotel room doors shown to the public. This cabin and lodge are tucked away from the busy downtown area and the cool thing is you can just walk to the downtown area by crossing the bridge on foot. Heyyyyyyyy! My husband, our daughter, and I did that in order to get our walks in. The walking distance isn't that bad since Winthrop is so small with cute local business shops. Let's talk about the room and the amenities: clean room. Just as advertised. We got what we wanted: king suite with sofa bed and river view. Tv works. Coffee, small fridge, and microwave work. Also, the key works for the door, so that was nice. When you know you'd be arriving late at the property after 6 pm, it's best to contact the hotel before 4 pm to catch up with the receptionist and inform them that you'd be arriving later after normal business hours, so an access key code would be texted to you. Continental breakfast is available in the morning if you're in the mood for typical muffins or breakfast bars. Coffee is available in the hotel room, and you have to get your tea in the lobby during breakfast hours. We would come back here in the future!

Excellent destination place to stay…read more Excellent place to stay. Very affordable with outstanding service. We spent two nights there. First night was in cabin 15. It was spacious and had a hot tub. The cabin was perfect for a nice time with my wife and I to get away and really relax. Cabin 14 was a nice cabin too. We stayed in this one our second night. No hot tub with this one but still very nice. The breakfast was great. The food options were diverse and tasty. Kendra personally offered to make us some terrific scrambled eggs because of my limited diet. I totally recommend this place if you want a great escape from the chaos that life sometimes throws at us.

Pros: * Spacious cabin rooms that are very well stocked…read more * Rooms were very clean and had a rustic feel * Very friendly staff :) * COMFY beds and soft blankets! * Beautiful grounds, very peaceful. * Near a charming "downtown" area with food options. We paid $417 for two weekend nights in October. Other notes / Possible Cons - * The sound bleed is so bad. We could fully hear the conversation, footsteps, and movie of the room next to us. So if you don't like that I would definitely recommend getting one of the separated cabins. * A lot of the appliances (TV, fireplace. Etc.) didn't work but it wasn't a huge issue because it wasn't too cold and you're in nature - why need a TV? * Breakfast is homemade and they say it's from 8 - 9:30 AM but really all the food is gone around 9. Again, not really an issue for us since we didn't really eat the breakfast. Good coffee though :)

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.

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!

Soft goods were great, bed comfy, towels nice and fluffy. Air conditioner loud, (aren't they all?), but worked great. There was no sharp knife, they did provide a corkscrew. It would have been nice if they had put a dog bowl in or left a treat. We would stay here again.

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.
