Welcome to Barenhutte! This lovely log cabin in the woods is the perfect pairing of rustic charm and modern amenities. Private yet conveniently located just 2 miles from downtown Leavenworth this home is the answer to all of your vacation wishes.
Your cares will melt away as you step onto the covered front porch and through the door into a colorful kitchen filled with fetching features such as stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, and gorgeous wood floors. An impressive rock wall will have you dreaming of climbing mountains as you prepare a feast for your group in this open kitchen while around the corner true coziness awaits. Cuddle up with a hot toddy or locally crafted beer on the couch and if you’re looking to entertain, amaze your loved ones with a movie on the big screen using the projector. The comfy sectional sofa is a fantastic place to spy on some wildlife or simply watch the day drift by. On the main floor, you will find a bedroom with a beautiful queen-sized log bed and a bunk room featuring a twin over a full-size bed. Next to these bedrooms is a full bath complete with a claw foot tub, a stand-alone shower, and a spacious vanity with a granite countertop. As you climb the wooden staircase prepare to be dazzled by the fairytale-like king loft bedroom. An elegant iron bed frame sits just beneath luxurious handmade velvet curtains in a lofty room large enough to accommodate a sitting area as well as a flat-screen TV. While upstairs picture a soak in the clawfoot tub while you enjoy the view of the ageless woodwork, classic tile floor, and shower. There is a comfortable reading nook with a couch that doubles as a sofa-sleeper as well. Back downstairs you’ll also find a stackable laundry unit for your convenience. Beyond there is access to a large covered back porch complete with a BBQ, comfortable table and chairs for your al fresco dining, and of course, a hot tub for the ultimate relaxation after a day of playing in the mountains, shopping in our Bavarian village, or visiting the magical reindeer farm just down the road.
If you don’t want to leave your family pet at home the Leavenworth Pet Lodge is also just across the street so your furry friend can enjoy a vacation too. Whatever your vacation dreams are Barenhutte is the perfect place to make them come true!

Great updated cabin that had everything we needed. Close to town but away from the hubbub. Hot tub worked well and had strong jets. Kitchen had all the things we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful log cabin. Nicely equipped with the essentials. Comfortable beds and furnishings. Quite location 1.5 miles north of Leavenworth. Hot tub was amazing. Sucker has some power in the pump department.
The doors have an old-style locking mechanism, so they do not remain unlocked after opening with the keys. You need to push a button on the lock faceplate for it to remain unlocked. Lesson learned.
Only mention is the gas fireplace described as having a fickle starting procedure, after 20 attempts to ignite failed I would say its broken and the party lights around the back deck did not work. Minor things overall. Very nice place and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
