Chalet @ Icicle Creek - Free night promo, please read promo in full below**

(For promotion details please read the remarks in the last paragraph of this listing description.)

Beautiful home, totally remodeled in 2014 and being continually remodeled.

Quick note on renovations and updates. We are truly in a grand reopening phase. This last year but especially the last couple of months have seen a ton of updates for the property. We completed new paint inside and out last year and in the last week we just got brand new carpeting throughout and had the hardwood floors refinished. Additionally we have just entered into an arrangement with a new cleaning crew who are wholly qualified and who just conducted a thorough, several day deep clean of the property. Other recent renovations include but aren't limited to a new pool liner, a landscaping revamp, new shower heads, driveway seal, bball court paint, new couch for master bedroom (former BnB side) sitting area and a host of other things. When you arrive at the property if you need anything we will come right away. We live 8 minutes away and we can fix most anything. Thanks for thinking of us!

Amenities include: Swimming pool (typically open May 1- Oct. 1), Hot tub year around, volleyball court, basketball hoop (driveway court), two indoor fireplaces, two outdoor fireplaces (fireplace and fire pit), grill, jetted bathtub in the master suite (with yet another [cosmetic] electric fireplace), five flatscreens.

On one of Leavenworth's most beautiful roads, Icicle Road, which leads you to the Snow Lake Trailhead, the Enchantments and right across the street the Icicle Ridge trailhead (great one hour or so hike to the top). We do our very best to keep the landscaping looking beautiful with a mix of manicured lawns and natural forest landscaping.

This house is really two houses connected by a breezeway. Total privacy available for, say, two families traveling together on each side. The right side of the house has two bedrooms (one private room and one loft style bedroom which has visual privacy), two bathrooms, a kitchen, dining and living room with fireplace. The left side has a master bedroom / master bath that is a former BnB with a downstairs area that has yet another efficiency kitchen, living room with fireplace, dining room and bedroom with three sleeping spaces which is great for kids. (The downstairs bathroom has a pump toilet that we ask that guests only use in the event of emergency.) We have three other bathrooms in the house though! We do not list the home as a four bed four bath, we list it as a 3 bath because that pump toilet is tricky to navigate at best)

The pool is private and for our guests only. It's on our property. It's typically open from April 1st or May 1st depending on how long winter lasts. We typically close the pool down October 1st-15th. The pool is heated in the spring and fall only and kept to around 70-75 degrees. When it drops into the 30's at night the pool heater typically cannot keep up and this is when we decide to close it down for the winter.

We have a long driveway so there is plenty of room for parking, the property is allowed one car per bedroom plus 1, so the MAX CARS IS 5. We cannot fit or provide electrical for recreational vehicles. Our driveway is steep at the beginning and curved. We recommend anyone coming to leavenworth in the winter to bring four wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicles with snow tires. A two wheel drive car with no snow tires is going to have a very hard time getting around, to include the first part of my driveway.

We do everything we can to keep the property absolutely beautiful year around.

Our property is nicely landscaped, it is a mix of mowed lawns, barked areas and areas that are more au natural.

The county has enacted new rules for vacation rentals so that we can maintain our license. We have caps on the total number of guests (10), number of cars (5), garbage (removed with a service after each guest), a neighborhood noise restriction (75 decibels), fire safety, etc. It's all built into our listings. Common sense prevails. :)

So there aren't any surprises. We normally charge an extra guest fee for guests over 2 so that we can charge less for small parties and more for larger parties where people are sharing costs, as opposed to simply charging the higher amount all the time. More people means more supplies, more wear and tear, more cleaning, etc. While doing comparisons similar properties with a pool charge quite a bit more than I do.

We sometimes require a short term rental contract. Really it's just so that folks know about the house rules and the new county rules. We have come to rely on Vrbo's agreement more and more often though.

We have updated our cancellation policy as of April 23rd, 2025 for all bookings moving forward to offer a full refund if cancelled 60 days prior to arrival. Cancellations are really difficult to process and in most cases we are not able to get a property rebooked if someone cancels close enough to the date of their stay. Most people book a year or six months in advance. We hold those reservations for you in good faith, we love it when our guests do the same but we also understand that things can happen. We also suggest that guests look into VACATION RENTAL TRAVEL INSURANCE. There are 3 ways to get to Leavenworth, Highway 90 (Blewett pass or via the Gorge), Highway 2 and via the Wenatchee Airport. In 17 years of doing this I've never seen both passes closed at the same time. Please do check the pass report before driving out.

Please come prepared to drive in the snow in the wintertime. Again two wheel drive vehicles with bad tires and no chains will not be able to navigate this town on a snowy weekend or during a storm.

** PROMOTION: For off peak "stay's only" Book Friday and Saturday and add one day free when available. Book a non weekend i.e. Monday-Tuesday and add one non weekend day for free when available. Typically not available for holiday weekends or Leavenworth event weekends (Christmas Lighting, film festival, etc.) or busy summertime periods or busy wintertime periods (high ski season, winter break, etc.). For new bookings only, offer not retroactive for past bookings and free night is always at owner discretion. Must be requested at time of booking (this promotion is an on again and off again type of thing, we use this promotion to aid us in booking the slow periods). You'd book two days and I'd add the third day MANUALLY, if and when available. Adding the free night must still be available for me to be able to add it.
House sleeps 10 which includes children and babies.

It's a beautiful place, we do put up a Christmas tree from around December 1-January 31. This place is fun for the whole family. Bring your games from home.

Leavenworth adventure house

We had a great time at Kelly's property. The house is perfect for a big group - with two adjoining houses so there's lot of sleeping space and privacy. The pool and outdoor space was great for some very toasty days in July. We had a great time and would highly recommend to others.

Family getaway

Great location and loved that we found a place in Leavenworth to house a family of 8. We did need to reach out to host for check in code as it was not provided.House ran out of propane while we were cooking dinner our first night there and could not be filled until the next day. For the price point would have liked some amenities such as foil or wrap in the kitchen and soap and shampoo dispensers in the bathrooms filled (they were all empty). House and property was nice and good location however some attention to cleanliness and details could improveoverall experience

Chalet at Icicle Creek

We had a wonderful time here. The homes were clean and very well decorated. Having 2 connected homes was really great with older kids. They had their own space and adults had our own. Kelly was very attentive to our every need. We would definitely stay there again.

Magical Weekend at the Icicle chalet

We spent the weekend at the chalet to attend Leavenworth Oktoberfest. First of all, the owner was a pleasure to work with and was easy to get in contact with whenever we had any questions. The property itself was in the perfect location right along the free shuttle route to the festival. The property was absolutely stunning with so much room and places to relax. Loved building a campfire in the fire pit and enjoying the crisp fall weather. We can't wait for our next stay!

Adorable house and property close to Leavenworth

The house(s) and property are gorgeous, and the proximity to Leavenworth proper is unbeatable. When reaching out to the host responses were quick. The beds were plentiful, clean, and comfortable. It was a good stay and we had a great time. With that being said, I did have to ask for check-in details because none were sent to me. When i asked, the host said that they are available on the "Travel App" but i was using the VRBO app and did not receeive any details there and could not locate a separate "Travel App". When we arrived the front door was cracked open and the attached second wing had a sliding glass door that was also unlocked. When i alerted the host they just said that the crime in the area was low but they'd alert the cleaning crew to remember to close and lock the doors. There isnt a lot that could have been done in the moment but an apology and concern for safety would have been nice. Last thing is that the listing says its a 4 bathroom home but its actually a 3 bathroom home with a room with a sink and a "for emergencies only" toilet which customers are HIGHLY encouraged not to use. All in all, there are a ton of rooms that are super cute and comfortable. The home was really well stocked with dishes etc. It was a great stay, especially for the proximity to the winter festivities that we were in town for. But attention to safety and security would be nice.

Beautiful place, but needs a little TLC.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Chalet. It's a great place if you have teenagers. They were entertained by the beautiful pool, sand volleyball court, basketball court, and dart board. They were able to have their own space with the 2 separate houses. It was also nice to be so close to town and the river! That being said, I felt that the place needed a little TLC in some areas. We bought salmon and regular burgers to BBQ for 4th of July because the website showed a grill. When we went to use the grill it was not working. The owner said it was cemented in place and there was not much he could do. I wish we would have know that before spending all that money on great burgers and then having to pan fry them. Also, the place needed a good dusting (think top of refrigerator and light fixtures) and some new towels (some of them had that sour smell, but not all) and sheets (mine had a few holes). The patio outside was full of cotton seed and leaves so we didn't really want to have to clean it all before using the picnic table outside. There was also a dead bird on the roof of the porch overhand which we could see from our loft bedroom. So, we got to look at the dead bird the whole time! The owner, although very good about returning calls and emails, seemed to explain away my complaints instead of at least apologizing for the inconvenience of them or, even better, sending over his cleaning crew to dust, put new hole-free sheets on and remove the dead bird! Also, the bathroom situation is a bit funky. There are 3 bathrooms, but 2 of the bathrooms are attached to the 2 upstairs bedrooms, so really the only people that use them are the 4 people staying in those 2 rooms (other people COULD use them but it's awkward to walk through someone's bedroom). The other bathroom downstairs is then used by the remaining 8 people. So, if you are not too picky about details, and you care more about having your kids entertained, this is the house for you!

This was a wonderful stay for our large group! The area is beautiful, the house has lots of thoughtful touches, and it provided both great options for communal living and privacy. I think my favorite thing was having both the pool and hot tub available, especially as it was a little cooler than normal weather for a Leavenworth summer. Check out rules were very reasonable. It's a fairly unique setup because it's 2 houses joined as one and each space has its own benefits and quirks. I'd happily stay here again!

Spectacular house in Leavenworth

This house near Icicle Creek has everything: a pool, volleyball court, hot tub, nice outdoor spaces. The indoor space is great for hanging out and sleeping. The kitchens (yes, there are 2!) are well appointed. A thirty minute drive takes you to the Enchantments. Could not recommend this more highly.

Great yard but not clean

We had a good stay overall but the house was not very clean. We found toast in the toaster oven and a pair of someones dirty socks when we first arrived. The floor looked like it hadnt been swept in a while. Only one part of the house is actually private, all the other rooms are open or you have to walk through to get to the other end of the house - this wasnt a issue for us as we are a tight group. We were excited about the pool and hot tub area but never actually got the jets to turn on in the hot tub. I messaged the host asking about the hot tub our first night and never got a response the rest of our stay.

Okay, needs TLC

We enjoyed our stay here but felt that & 900/night left some things to be desired. For a pet friendly place there were no signs/smells of other animals which was great. Sleeping arrangements were mostly comfortable. The master in the main house is not private as it’s a loft-style room open to main living area below. Home could definitely be cleaner on arrival; floors, kitchen surfaces etc. The home shows signs of a high volume rental and needs some TLC; shower heads need replaced/cleaned, sinks/faucets that leak, interior doors that don’t shut or lock and other minor things that are broken or need a fix vs. a bandaid. The kitchen lacked a few basics like tin foil or plastic wrap that seems pretty standard in most rentals nowadays especially at 500 per night. The hot tub runs perfectly and the views are great though it really needs to be cleaned better between renters or possibly needs maintenance for the filters. This configuration is probably great for a couple small families and location is nice being close to town and fairly quiet. Owner was very responsive which is always a plus.

I now live in Leavenworth and am just around the corner if you need anything from me. I am a financial advisor, writer, property owner and I love the vacation rental business and hope to move to doing that full time.

Why they chose this property

I bought this place for it's possibilities. It had the perfect spot for a pool and volleyball court and it had a large garage begging for a conversion. This is essentially two homes separated by a breezeway. Each side has a Kitchen, fireplace, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Perfect for two families getting away together.

What makes this property unique

Pool, volleyball, basketball, two indoor and two outdoor fireplaces (fires permitting) hot tub, plenty of parking, rustic and beautiful, view of the sleeping lady mountain from the living room.
