This amazing Lodge overlooks pristine Lake Chelan in the North Cascades National Park in Washington state. Here, our first priority is to assist our guests in completely disconnecting and enjoy the beauty of the nature that surrounds. There are no telephones in your guestrooms, there is no internet access, and the only way to travel here is by water ferry, seaplane or by hike.

We spent two nights in a room with a cozy kitchen and a view of the lake. The accommodations were exactly what we expected and met our needs completely. They were very attentive to COVID spacing and mandates and we were very comfortable with their level of preparedness. We were disappointed that the shuttle was not running so we got a bike ride that was a little longer than we may have planned but the hike at the end of our ride was spectacular. We will definitely return to this oasis.

The lodge was the perfect place to stay to truly get away from work (there is no choice but to be off the grid while you are there!) and enjoy the gorgeous lake views and Cascades area. We loved the lake view from our front deck of Lake Chelan. The room was fairly simple. The bed was comfortable and clean. We like that you could easily enjoy the restaurant carry out service on the large restaurant deck even during Covid restrictions. Beautiful views of the lake on the ferry ride - it takes close to 3 hours to reach Stehekin!

We had a lovely two night stay over Labor Day weekend in one of the lodge rooms. Adequate size and just as described. Centrally located with easy access to the Red bus, Pastry bus, bike rental shop. General store stocked, but obviously expensive given location. We did not purchase WiFi, folks that did said it was really only good for test messages. We enjoyed talking with all the PCT through hikers. Only wish is that the employee break area was located in a different spot (it’s behind the restaurant and near the walkway of the buildings) - while the conversations were always at an appropriate sound level, the continual cigarette smoke was distracting from the surroundings. I hope to visit again and would happily stay again.

We appreciate your taking the time to review your stay. We are glad you enjoyed The Lodge and some of Stehekin's offerings. Your feedback regarding the break area is much appreciated, and will be addressed. The wifi is a constant challenge, in fact all communications are here, but we do constantly try to improve them. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to The North Cascades Lodge at Stehekin in the future.

I loved everything about my stay at the lodge. It started with a warm welcome from Christopher when I checked in; I felt like I was visiting friends instead of arriving for my first time. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. That was especially important and noticed since I was traveling alone. My Swissmont room was nice and clean. Lots of hot water and pressure for a good shower. My favorite part was the balcony looking over the waterfront. As I sat and drank my coffee in the morning, I watched an eagle circle overhead looking for his breakfast. It was a little challenging not to have cell, internet or TV; but I knew that ahead of time. Overall, it was good to be disconnected. I hope to return!

Thank you for taking a moment to review your stay at our Lodge. We're glad you enjoyed your time here. I will be sure to pass your comments along to the staff. We're glad some of our 'locals' allowed themselves to be seen. Those eagles are certainly a magnificent sight, and make being disconnected from the modern world all the more fun. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to The North Cascades Lodge at Stehekin in the future.

We stayed at the lodge at the invitation of some friends that were trying it out too. After I made the booking online, I called the reservation number to get some info on the cabin layout, food option since the kitchen is super basic and how to get there. After 6 phone calls and repeated questions for which they had either vague or zero answers, they transferred me to the lodge front desk and no one would answer the phone. So far, so bad! When we arrived, we had a cabin that was suppose to fit 6 with 2 queen beds and 2 sofa beds. We have 2 teenagers and they did not want to sleep together. There were no extra sheets or comforters for the sofa beds and found this out way too late and no one was around at 9pm for us to get any from Housekeeping. The cabin was so small that all of us were tripping over each other. One bed was in the main room where we ate our food on a table 2 ft away from the end of the bed. The worst part was when we pulled our comforter back to sleep. Both beds had plenty of head and pubic hair from the previous guests. The sheets looked relatively new but clearly unchanged from Housekeeping. This is totally unacceptable. Truly disgusting!!! It was too late to fix the problem and he next day, our hike started way too early for us to complain. The staff at the front desk was not exactly warm and fuzzy to approach. When I dared to ask the front desk for some sheets and blankets, he rolled his eyes while sharing my requests with his co-worker. He was so condescending. I also asked the same guy if we could rent the kayak and he said he was not really interested in going out to get it ready for us to rent. Another word, don't ask. This is what you get when you are the only hotel in the area. In addition, the walls between the units are paper thin. The guests next to us knocked on our door complaining we were too noisy because we were having normal conversations about washing dishes. The National Park is great but this lodge is way overrated and overpriced. Since this place is only accessible by a 4 hour ferry or a 28 mile hike, it makes it remote and impossible to fine another option for lodging or food. Their restaurant, which is also the only one in town, besides the bakery is, at best, a diner with restaurant prices. The food reminded me of a cheap buffet or hospital food. It was bland, boring and over priced. They need to update the lodge and give customers something more worthy of the money we are spending. My friend was told by a staff that her kids were getting complaints just because they were active and he threaten to shut them down. Its a good thing he did not say that to a NY like me.…
