We had another wonderful stay at Riverdance Lodge! The home is comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing family getaway. The location is ideal—close enough to town to enjoy all the shops and restaurants, but still quiet and peaceful with beautiful mountain views. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a relaxing Leavenworth escape!

This was the perfect place to stay in Leavenworth! Beautiful home with lots of rooms and decks to enjoy the picturesque setting. Our family enjoyed relaxing by the river for hours. The hot tub, sauna and ping pong were big hits as well! When we felt like going to town, it was only a few minutes away. We couldn’t have found a better place to stay - highly recommend!

Great getaway!

Quiet getaway in Leavenworth on icicle creek. Would love to come back in the summer time. Our kids had fun with the game room! Love that it’s dog friendly. Wished previous tenants or owner would be a little more diligent about picking up the dog poop though. Easy communication with the owner with quick responses!

Mountain Biking Trip

This river-side house is wonderful. It is completely private and very quiet and peaceful. The river and surrounding landscape with mountains in the background are gorgeous. House was very clean and kitchen came with everything we needed for cooking. Despite being so private, it is a less than 10 minute drive to downtown. Amenities including hot tub, sauna, two washing machines and ping pong table were much appreciated. House is perfect for a group of friends or a couple of families. Would definitely stay again.

Pristine relaxing environment with fantastic host!

What an amazing place, ospreys, deer and so much more! Loved the sauna, cold plunge in the Icicle river, easy parking, game room, multiple living rooms and kitchens, two laundry machines, private backyard on the edge of a giant field, the house layout and ease of shared yet private spaces with plenty of room and just a few minutes drive to so many fantastic hikes, the adorable town of Leavenworth, the golf course and white water rafting. Wish we'd had more time to stay and enjoy. The fishing right in the back yard was terrific and our son caught a big salmon that we quickly cooked up! Greg was an incredible host, so kind and helpful with fishing and bait and oodles of local knowledge and lore. He was always available and so gracious with his time. We felt lucky to have this slice of heaven for even a few days and will definitely be back!

Exactly what we needed.

I cannot say enough good things about Riverdance Lodge or Greg. It was clean and comfortable, and had plenty of room for our group of 8 to spread out. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook large family meals. One thing we especially noticed and appreciated was the lack of chemical/febreeze smells in the home. Greg was quick to communicate back and forth, as we had a bit of an emergency being evacuated from a fire at home and he worked with us to get us in a day early. It was an amazing blessing. You absolutely will not be disappointed here. We already miss it and will definitely be back.

Amenities and Privacy

Beautiful property that is gorgeous and comfortable. The check in process was the easiest I have ever had, no tricky lock box just open the front door and key is waiting inside. The house had decks on two levels with gorgeous views to the river. The kitchen had a fantastic supply of appliances and utensils. The house was full of blankets, pillows, towels… just everything was so well thought out and we didn’t want for anything! You can tell the house is well cared for and that inspires that same care in return. The best part, privacy!! The hot tub and sauna are nestled behind a privacy fence and the landscaping/natural wilderness block the views of the neighbors on the left side of the property (when facing the river) To the right of the property is a natural wild life preserve and protected land, so no neighbors to worry about. There were plenty of patio chairs on the deck and out at the river/fire pit. The owner lives close by and checked in on us shortly after check-in to make sure we had everything we needed. My partner and I wanted a quiet, private escape to relax and commune with nature, this place is magical! We will return.

We had a nice stay at Riverdance Lodge. Communication with Gary the property manager was great. The kitchen is fully stocked and there is plenty of comfortable furniture. Note that bedroom 4 does not have a Murphy bed as the listing says and the master/main bedroom mattress is quite soft and mushy. My husband and I moved to a downstairs room for a better bed after our guests left. The sauna didn’t have many jets that were working but we still enjoyed it.

So glad we found this liutle puece of Heaven!

We arrived about an hour earier than we thought we would driving in from Oklahoma. Greg, the owner was finishing up getting the house ready for us. He told us could hang out on the patio & go down to see & explore the river. This place is amazing! So quiet and peaceful. Just beautiful! The house was clean and plenty large for all 7 of us, plus the dog. The kitchen was well stocked with all you would need. The linens were comfy and clean. The beds were comfy and water pressure was great. We never ran out of hot water with all of us getting the day started. We had a blast with the ping pong table. All the balconies were nicely furnished for a great family get together. The fire pit down by the river was great for smores & sitting around making new memories. We had one liitle hiccup. The A/C didnt cool adequately. I contacted Greg about it, he was there in minutes to check it out. He had a service guy there the next morning. I say little hiccup because we just opened the windows and let the fresh, clean air flow thru. We we're never "hot". Our family has decided that this is the place for us. Evertime we get up to Leavenworth for a visit, this is our first choice everytime! Thank you Greg, for letting us invade your little piece of heaven for a couple of days!

About the host

Hosted by Greg

Host profile image
Michigan native. Enjoy the outdoors! Love Nina my life partner and my new house in the Meadow..

In 1980, My wife and I set out from Michigan to Washington on a 3000 mile 3 year cross country hike [hiked every foot] in search of the perfect location for us to call home.
We found it here in Leavenworth.

I also found that inn keeping is my passion. In 1983, I started my first lodging business. In 2005, River Meadows LLC was born and Riverdance Lodge opened which later expanded to include Meadow Dance Lodge next door to Riverdance,
One of the things that I enjoy is that I have my own salmon hole at Riverdance Lodge to share with my guests. I feel very fortunate to have found my home in a magical location....come share the dance with me.

Why they chose this property

In response to a for sale ad in the newspaper, my first visit to the property was in the spring of 1988.

When I found the property, there was only a primitive dirt road. It was early morning as I walked through the rough trail with my six-month old son Josh on by back and my golden lab "Honey". I remember asking myself if we were at the right place. We wound down through the thick stand of Cottonwood trees and various wild bushes when suddenly the trail opened to an incredibly expansive and breathtaking meadow. I realized that I was standing at the confluence of the Wenatchee and Icicle Rivers.

I stood in awe in that early morning light gazing at the surrounding snow capped mountains where the two rivers met. I knew that I had found a special place. I'll always remember that day, Josh giggling with laughter as we skipped stones on the river and Honey fetching sticks...I didn't waste any time purchasing what is now Riverdance Lodge.

Now, more than 30 years later and all the dancing my family have experienced on this river, we offer to share this dance with you.
-Greg

What makes this property unique

It's Not a House, It's an Experience!

You’re comfort and privacy is my first priority. Your fun starts when making reservations. As the owner, I can assist you in planning your retreat/vacation. You won’t have the usual concerns of where to go for fun or who has the best safety record. You can relax and let the scenery go by or for those looking for a little more adventure there are lots of activities right out the front door.

Photo opportunities are everywhere, eagle, deer and bear are common sightings. Hang out at the rivers edge for the next critter experience or kick back on the deck and let the next photo come to you.
