The house was great for our family! The kids had fun in the loft and game room and there were plenty of amenities and supplies that kept us very comfortable for our stay. Great for a small family!
This was an amazing property to stay at. Everything was extremely well stocked and we brought our dogs which worked out great. The gated area was perfect for the dogs to run around while we sat by the fire and had a glass of wine.

We had two adults and three kids for a four-night stay, and loved the home. The kids loved the private playroom space. Outside deck space was great, and the outdoor stairs to the pool made it easy for everyone to go when they liked. Incredibly friendly staff throughout the development, and fantastic location to downtown Chelan, Slidewaters water park, grocery stores.

This house was the perfect size for my husband and I to get away for the weekend. Would be fun with kids as well, as long as they don't mind sharing sleeping and bathroom space. Clean, beautiful views, creative and fun decor. Just missing a coffee grinder in the kitchen and wash cloths in the bathroom. Would definitely stay again just the two of us, or even for a girls or solo retreat. Can't beat the view from the deck and couch! Fun games in garage space and loft too.

We spent a fun filled week at Chelan with Ready or Knot as our home base. The home is clean and well-appointed. The garage game room was the perfect escape from the heat when we were done playing in the water. The hillside perch was perfect in the evenings to watch the sunset and enjoy the cool breeze. Highly recommend for families with older children or teens (the ladder going up to the loft isn't good for small kids or older adults).The property is centrally located - only a few steps from the main park and pool and just around the corner from the lake shuttle.

The Lookout has everything we wanted...private beach, amazing pools, breathtaking views of the lake and the stars and quiet at nighttime. We enjoyed swimming the pools and lake during the day and sitting by the gas fireplace on the deck at night to watch the sunset. One pool was mostly 3 feet so perfect for my 6 year old to swim safely. The house was modern, clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. We walked to town a couple times for coffee but we loved how the Lookout was away from all the craziness of downtown. This place had it all. We can’t wait to go back.

The house was fantastic and we enjoyed Chelan. However, our house was not ready at 4 pm the day we were supposed to check in, our A/C went out (happened to be 95 degrees that day/evening - however, they did fix it within 24 hours), and they never came to get a huge hornets next on the patio (would have taken care of it myself but there was no Raid and they kept telling me they would come, so we did not get to use that for a few nights).

The house was great and as described. It is centrally located within the community itself, which made it easy to experience all that the community has to offer. The house was clean, well-appointed, and stocked with everything we needed. There were a few blinds that were broken and would not close, and the patio and patio furniture needs some attention (e.g., paint worn off on the deck, one of the dining chairs was broken and wobbly), but these are very minor critiques and did not detract from the stay. I wish the upstairs loft was more accessible, as the space is great once you are up there, but the steep ladder is not for the faint of heart. The garage game room was a fantastic perk and a place were we spent a lot of time.

Reviewer Comments:
The Lookout is in a great location near town and the winery’s on the north shore of the lake. Since it was winter, we did not make use of the communities amenities, but there appears to be plenty, including a heated pool we did see a few people in. The community also has a few dog stations throughout, which were very convenient for taking the pup out.The unit itself was in great shape, well stocked, and as described. The game room was a great hangout spot and my daughter loved the loft kids room. The check-in and check-out process went entirely as described. The unit is also very quiet. While the community is still under development, the construction noise was not very noticeable while inside with the windows closed.

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our stay at Ready or Knot overall, although some details fell short of expectations. The location is fantastic and the inside areas are well maintained and comfortable. We were staying with kids/teens and they enjoyed the loft and the downstairs game room/hangout space. The kitchen had the bare necessities, although some essential items were lacking (e.g. pizza pan). As other reviews suggest, there is no viable indoor dining option (the folding console is basically a coffee table and there are no chairs provided), so as a group of 6 (max occupancy) we were looking to utilize the patio dining table. Unfortunately, upon arrival we immediately discovered that the patio table umbrella was broken and unusable. We eventually received a replacement from housekeeping, but it was too tall for the table. The barbecue grill was also dirty, which led to our food catching on fire, making it impossible to grill outside. Finally, there seem to be a lot of bees/wasps at this property, partly because of a shrub in the backyard that seems to attract them. The wasps were a nuisance and made eating outside a challenge, which was unfortunate because it's the only dining option and the view from the deck is truly stunning.

Cute house but not for us-steep stairs leading to main floor. Deck was was great.The bed is super small and not much room to get around, and we are a small couple. If we had young kids I would worry about them in the loft-super steep ladder. The game room is a great idea for kids. The location is good. One time my husband had to try multiple times to unlock the door, so I called the number provided and no one answered.Luckily the door finally opened. The chairs at the top of the property are a nice touch. We didn’t use the pools because it was cold Rainy but they looked very nice. The general area is very nicely maintained.

Reviewer Comments:
The location was great!! The bed was comfy. We won’t stay here again though because the house lacked so many basic amenities that I’ve always had in other rentals: no bbq tools, only one set of tongs and very few utensils overall, no food storage (foil/plastic wrap/tupperwares) for leftovers. Guest services did bring some tupperwares over on our 3rd day. The tv must be older as it isn’t able to stream Netflix without being super slow. (We couldn’t even get Netflix to load after the first day.) The biggest disappointment of this home is that there were no towel hooks/rods. A pretty big inconvenience having to hang bath towels over the doors throughout the house. Please remove the the bathroom wall art and install towel hooks. Also, I reached out Guest Services 3 times to have them replace the light above the shower that never worked (no windows in there so it wasn’t very bright), and no one ever came. I finally gave up after the third day of our 5-night stay. For the amount charged for “resort fee” I expect better service. We have stayed at The Lookout annually and this experience was the most disappointing.
