The house is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. There was plenty of room for a large family. We loved having the house decorated for Christmas. It's close to town but also in a quiet location by the river. The owner was easy to reach. We couldn't have been happier!

We had a wonderful time at Riverdance!! The pics on line were great but the property in person was amazing! We were blessed with snow and beautiful landscape. The home was clean and inviting with plenty of amenities abound. The hot tub was amazing and included a great view of the river and mountains. Greg was amazing and stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this amazing place for a winter getaway or a summer vacation.

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!

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.

Long weekend getaway

Gorgeous views, excellent accommodations, close to town while also feeling secluded and private. Host was very helpful when needed. Heat had a hard time reaching the lower level and wifi was a bit spotty; kitchen could do with a few more necessities, but the property was wonderful and we had a fabulous time.

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.
