About this property
Mt VIEWS, HGTV - Spectacular Summer Dream LOG HOME, A Family friendly escape!
Alpine lodge is a magnificent cedar Log home with close to 3400 sq. ft. of space. This custom built home has been featured on the European HGTV network and showcased in log home shows around the USA and abroad. All 3 floors offer magnificent views of the Stuart Mountain Range, glaciated peaks and forested foothills where trails abound. The lodge sleeps 14 on beds. A winter time highlight is the private and fully illuminated custom designed / excavated 150 yard sled hill with multiple runs. There are also plenty of hiking / mountain bike trails, cross country skiing and more right outside the front door….
THE LODGE FEATURES:
Alpine Lodge is very functional for up to 14 guests and is tastefully decorated. The Lodge is very spacious, has a gourmet kitchen that is well stocked, features stainless steel appliances and beautiful slab granite counter tops. A massive wooden bar slab countertop extends from the kitchen into the Great Room dining area. This kitchen is the perfect set up when cooking for families, has plenty of space and is well stocked to prepare even a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. A BBQ is located on the covered back deck and is just steps from the kitchen. You can’t miss all the vaulted magnificent cedar walls, pine ceilings, log supports that make for cozy private and intimate living areas. The spacious open floor plan features a large great room with a 22 ft. high ceiling and an energy efficient wood burning Stone fireplace, (A nice advantage over Suncadia Properties that do not allow for wood burning fireplaces). The large hearth is perfect for warming up and drying out after a day in the snow or fishing the rivers and lakes near the property. A second gas burning fireplace stove is located on the main floor in the window encased sun room, a perfect place to submerge in a good book or enjoy quiet conversations or games. The lower level entertainment and games room (with a 2 person double bed) area is very large and fully equipped with wet bar, huge 7 foot air hockey table and a foosball table, large sofas, large flat screen TV plus DVD player and plenty of movies to choose from. There are plenty of puzzles, toys and family friendly games that will provide hours of entertainment for all age groups young and old.
PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED: Alpine Lodge has professional cleaners. Our agency contracted follows the CDC and Washington State cleaning guidelines. Between guest stays all sheets and bedding are professionally washed off site. We hire a professional cleaning company who assigns the same person to clean the lodge between all guest stays as this person understands the lodge and takes pride in the work done to present a lovely, clean environ for all guests. Cleaning the lodge takes all day as all surfaces, bathrooms, door handles, light switches etc. are cleaned entirely, floors are disinfected, kitchen countertops, tables etc. all cleaned to the highest standards. All linens from sheets. pillow cases to towels, duvet covers etc. are all taken off site, cleaned professionally and returned to the lodge between guest stays.
BEDROOMS & BATHS:
Flexible sleeping accommodations allow up to 14 guests in beds. The rooms are furnished with comfortable Sealy pillow top mattresses and comforters duvet covers for bedding, blankets with soft linen sheets along with plenty of pillows and additional throw blankets. On the upper 3rd floor there are two large bedrooms with vaulted ceilings. The master bedroom has a sliding glass door leading to a large private outside deck, a king bed, twin bed with a twin trundle bed and a stylish master bathroom. The second 3rd floor bedroom, has a queen bed with two twin beds, two large windows overlooking the sled hill and a private washroom just outside the bedroom door. This allows for up to 8 guests between both bedrooms. The main floor master bedroom is quite large, has 3 big windows and is just off the great room and kitchen area. It features a queen bed plus an additional twin bed with trundle bed. This bedroom sleeps up to 4 and has a huge bathroom with double vanities and an oversized bath just outside the bedrooms French doors. Rounding out the sleeping options is a 2 person pillow top double bed on the lower level 1st floor TV & games room / bonus room or bedroom area. This room also features a large ( 4th ) washroom facility with full shower, toilet and sink. Many guests use this area as a fourth bedroom and kids love it!
WHAT IS THERE TO DO AT THE LODGE?
What guests write about most is the natural beauty surrounding the property, the abundance of trail walks and mountain bike trails but the obvious wintertime highlight and most talked about is the custom built "private" 150+ yard sled hill, “Luke's Luge” which is illuminated by large 1000 watt halogen lights suspended from a giant log archway for night sledding = days of family fun.. Enjoy three different runs like Ryan’s Express, Stephens shoot or for the experienced sled fanatic at the back of the property, “The Bullet”. The hill also can double as a fun snowboard or beginner ski hill. In summer the hill is great to Mt. bike down or hike from as it leads to many trails on or around the property and into the wilderness.
What else? Outdoor recreation opportunities abound with easy access to the Taneum / Manastash trail that provides over 600 miles of groomed trails for snowmobiling, ATV and dirt bike riding. In the surrounding area enjoy cross country skiing in the Yakima River Valley or the miles of groomed trails in Suncadia 10 minutes from the Lodge. About 25 minutes away enjoy downhill skiing at any of the four Snoqualmie Pass ski areas that boasts one of the largest night skiing operations in the country. Nearby Suncadia operates an ice skating rink, restaurants and Bars as well as a must visit to the “Northern Exposure” (TV-show) town of Roslyn Washington. Feel free to bring your own snowmobiles as the home enjoys quick access without driving, to miles of terrain. In warmer weather enjoy horseback riding, white water rafting, and an abundance of fly fishing guides in the area can provide a custom experience for all especially on the Yakima River which is known nationally for its exceptional catch and release trout fishery. Challenge yourself to 18 holes of high mountain golf at nearby Suncadia’s Golf Courses or sharpen your game at the Sun Country 18 hole Golf Course, which you’ll pass on the way up to the Lodge. Lastly, for the astronomer, a dream comes true! Just turn your eyes towards the heavens and behold a myriad of constellations and stars from the comfort of your 44 foot front deck at any time of year.

About the host
Hosted by Mark and Carolyn Alfano

My wife and I have 3 children all very active in school, sports and we all enjoy time together as a family which is why we built the Lodge. We wanted a place to enjoy family memories and time with friends in a relaxing environ for all.
Why they chose this property
We always had a dream of building a log home in the Cascades and wanted a place to escape to with our family and friends especially in the dark wet days of the Seattle winter season. The eastern slopes of the Cascade Mts offers plenty of snow and sunshine. We built with location in mind and stunning views in the heart of the Washington Cascade Mts. Every time we go up to the Lodge we pinch ourselves and talk about how gorgeous this area is and how relaxing we feel the minute we get out of the car.
What makes this property unique
I think the best most unique benefit is waking up each morning and looking out those massive great room windows and seeing the natural beauty that surrounds us. Having a cup of good coffee on the front deck and watching the many hummingbirds fly overhead. While that is nice, nothing beats the endless views of the Milky Way when the sun falls and the stars shine. I cant tell you how many shooting stars we see off our front porch whilst taking in the smell of fresh air and pine trees to the bugling of Elk in the distance. So many memorable moments they are so hard to list. We are very fortunate and we thank god and remind ourselves of how lucky we are to be able to enjoy the mountains so much from the comforts of the Lodge we built and share the lodge with so many wonderful guests..
