The space
Frost-tipped evergreens frame the long approach to this secluded 10-acre hideaway, where the cool winter air settles quietly over the property. Early mornings feel still and crisp, and evenings lend themselves to slow conversations by the fire pit or a peaceful soak in the hot tub beneath clear, cold-season skies. Indoors, generous gathering spaces and warm lighting create a comfortable retreat after exploring the surrounding snow-covered trails and nearby Cle Elum.

Sleeping arrangements span six bedrooms, with three on the main floor and three on the second floor, supporting up to 19 guests across 12 beds. Bathrooms on both levels include 3.5 baths, offering convenience for groups. Bed linens, room-darkening blinds, extra pillows, and multiple clothing storage options, including a walk-in closet, help make each room feel settled and restful during winter stays.

Sleeping arrangements
Bedrooms are positioned across both floors to provide flexibility for families or large groups. With beds arranged throughout the six bedrooms, the layout supports gatherings where everyone has space to unwind.

Indoor living
The game room invites you to spend cold-season days indoors with an 85-inch surround sound movie theatre, a pool table, and space to gather. A bunkroom offers toys, books, and games for ages ranging from toddlers to early readers. Additional entertainment includes board games, books, HDTV with Roku, a Bluesound bluetooth sound system, and an indoor fireplace with gas heating. Free 1 Gb Wifi and a dedicated workspace with an ergonomic chair allow you to stay connected or work when needed.

Outdoor living
Winter at the property encourages time spent around the fire pit or stepping into the private hot tub that remains available all year. The fully fenced property, outdoor furniture, and private decks options for fresh-air moments even in cold weather. Shared beach access and lake access are nearby for year-round exploration. Lots of sports equipment, corn hole, spike ball and 6 pairs of snowshoes will keep your group busy.

Kitchen and dining
The kitchen offers space to prepare meals, supported by a refrigerator, freezer, microwave, stainless steel gas stove, stainless steel single oven, and dishwasher. A dining table for 10 provides a place for meals or games when the group gathers indoors. A private BBQ grill with gas is available for year-round cooking.

Amenities and conveniences
Guests have access to a free washer and dryer in the unit, central air conditioning, central heating, ceiling fans, and portable fans. The home includes smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit, and exterior security cameras positioned around the perimeter, including the hot tub and firepit areas, along with a camera monitoring the furnace and water tank. Free driveway parking supports up to 20 vehicles, and an EV charger with level 2 capability provides added convenience. A private gym in the building includes free weights, a stationary bike, a treadmill, a rowing machine, and additional exercise equipment.

Winter Wonderland

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home! The acreage made it feel nice and private, and we had a great view of elk passing through the property. We went snowshoeing at The Gold Creek Trail, and were able to borrow snowshoes from the house which was great. Everything was well stocked and clean.

The property was great. Everything looked exactly like the listing. It was isolated, quiet, and huge. There were plenty of high quality games (darts, pool, air hocky) and a great sound system in the basement. Outside there were hammocks, a hot tub, basketball hoop, cornhole, and a grill. There was nothing this place didnt have.The house is a short drive (10 minutes) from stores, fast food, and gas stations so there is no problem if you forget to bring something.It is the perfect place for a weekend getaway.

Great !!! A few quirky things

House great , communication with owner great .. maintenance person shows up early am don’t announce her self when we said hi just ignored us. Contacted owner said miscommunication she should not be there at that time. Took her 30-40 minutes to get in garage where work was being done!! Tried to lower temp on thermostat to 71 but someone else had remote control of it and raised it to 76 for a couple of minutes. Would not allow anything lower than 73 , no fans in place.
