Gnome Home: Walking Distance to the Slopes!

Escape to a custom Lindal Cedar A-frame surrounded by evergreens in the heart of Snoqualmie Pass.

Soaring cedar ceilings, walls of windows and mountain views create a cozy forest retreat, with Summit Central, West, Dru Bru and local dining all within walking distance.

Unwind by the wood stove or enjoy the spacious deck overlooking the trees. 3 levels offer room to spread out, including a lower-level game and movie room.

A cozy Pacific Northwest getaway for families and friends awaits you!

PROPERTY SURROUNDINGS DESCRIPTION:

In the Fall, there is abundant mushroom hunting in the forest.

In the Winter, you have easy access to Snoqualmie Summit West, Central and East Ski areas, Tubing Center as well as Alpental Ski area. There is also a great sledding hill right in the back yard that is free!

A brew pub, Dru Bru, is just down the main road and offers fantastic micro-brews and growlers to go! Next door to Dru Bru is The Commonwealth restaurant, bringing high quality dining to The Pass. These have become destinations spots all on their own!

A new market with lots of goodies opened up, Laconia Market. Great for last minute grabs. They have some organic snacks and a good beer and wine selection.

This custom cedar A-frame was built by Lindal Cedar Homes and is filled with quintessential mountain character: exposed wood, vaulted ceilings, oversized windows and views of the surrounding conifers.

PROPERTY FLOOR PLAN:

The main level is the heart of the cabin, with an open kitchen, dining area and living room gathered around the wood-burning stove.

Upstairs, the loft features a king-size bed with Saatva Luxury Firm mattress, and a full size futon tucked beneath the cedar ceiling, creating a wonderfully cozy perch above the main living space.

The main-floor bedroom has a twin-over-full size bunk bed, while the lower-level bedroom has a queen bed. There is also an option to blow up a queen size mattress and/or provided crib.

Downstairs you'll also find the DVD movie wall and game room with TV, ping pong table, games and books galore, giving kids and adults another place to spread out.

For Winter Mountain Stays:

In winter, you're minutes from skiing and snowboarding at Summit West, Central and East, Alpental and the Snoqualmie Tubing Center. There is even a secret sledding hill behind the cabin.

When the snow melts, Snoqualmie Pass becomes an entirely different playground, with hiking, mountain biking, swimming, fishing and nearby alpine lakes.

Autumn brings crisp mountain air, changing foliage and some of the best mushroom hunting in the Cascades.

COFFEE & COZY THINGS:

Morning coffee is taken seriously here.

The kitchen includes an espresso machine, coffee grinder, French press, Italian Bialetti and traditional coffee maker.

For evenings in, light the wood stove, pull out a board game or puzzle, play ping pong, peruse the coveted CD and DVD collection or stream a movie on Netflix. We also provide Dru Bru growlers that guests can take down the road and exchange for a fresh fill.

OUTDOOR LIVING

During the warmer months, enjoy the large deck with outdoor dining and propane barbecue surrounded by the forest.

The property sits on a tree-filled corner lot with mountain and woodland views from throughout the cabin, so relaxing on the deck in the summer is a treat!

Location

One of the best things about the cabin is being able to enjoy a mountain getaway without feeling completely cut off from civilization.

From the cabin, you can walk to Summit Central, the Snoqualmie Tubing Center, Dru Bru brewery and The Commonwealth restaurant. Laconia Market is also nearby for groceries, drinks and last-minute essentials.

Seattle is approximately an hour away, making the cabin equally suited to a weekend escape or a longer mountain stay.

Roslyn, Cle Elum and Suncadia are also easy day trips.

We are in the heart of Snoqualmie Pass and the resort area. It's not pure wilderness! Please satellite map the area! That said, it's quiet on the inside.

Note: We are in a mountain pass, so cell service and Wi-Fi can be spotty or slow at times. It can also be down for periods of time. Expect to use your Hot-Spot.

Please note: Décor, bedding, throw pillows and other small furnishings may change periodically as we refresh and maintain the cabin. The layout, major furnishings and listed amenities remain as represented.

GUEST ACCESS:

Guests have private use of the cabin and outdoor spaces during their stay.

Important mountain access information:

Snoqualmie Pass is a true mountain environment, and we want guests to know what to expect before booking.

The gravel driveway is steep and is not fully plowed in winter. The approach from the parking area also involves a steep incline and can become snowy or icy. Because of this, the property is not appropriate for guests with limited mobility. There is a rope to use for safety when going up and down the driveway.

There is room for no more than 2 cars in the driveway.

Winter guests should arrive prepared for mountain conditions with appropriate footwear and an appropriate car equipped with chains or AWD.

The cabin is conveniently located near I-90 and the Summit resort area. This accessibility is part of what makes it possible to walk to skiing, dining and the brewery, but this is not an isolated wilderness property. Highway noise may occasionally be noticeable outdoors; inside, guests generally find the cabin quiet and peaceful.

Wi-Fi is provided, although mountain internet can occasionally be slower or experience outages. Guests who absolutely require uninterrupted high-speed internet should plan to have a mobile hotspot available.

INTERACTION WITH THE GUESTS:

We will not be present, so all communications will be via phone or e-mail. I am pretty much glued to my phone, so unless I'm sleeping or driving, I will do my best to respond right away! TEXT IS QUICKEST WAY TO GET AHOLD OF ME.

OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE:

We ask guests to leave outdoor shoes at the door to help us care for the cabin.

An additional $25 per person, per night applies for groups larger than six. No pets, please. Damage deposit forfeited for violations.

The three bedrooms and three bathrooms are each located on their own floor of the 3- floor cabin. This allows for great privacy between guests.

Lost Key Fee of $200 to re-key the lock for safety and security purposes. Best to just keep the key in the keybox.

Note: there is a Ring camera directed onto the driveway for security purposes. We will always respect your privacy and only refer to the camera on a need-be-basis. I don't like to be watched, so extend the same courtesy to our guests.

Most importantly, come ready for mountain air, tall trees, long days outside and very cozy nights back at the cabin.
