Mountain Home Lodge is an amazing getaway retreat. The rooms are beautiful and perfectly geared to helping you rest and relax and refresh. The food was incredible, the scenery and surroundings are amazing, the staff was so friendly and helpful. We loved our time and it was just what we needed to unwind and be refreshed. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway not too far from the city!
Pros:
Gracious hosts; incredible food (gourmet dinner and breakfast); lovely, secluded setting; no TVs; nice, big bathrooms; dogs and cats wandering around outside; half the price of downtown hotels
Cons:
Difficult to get to, especially in winter; must drive to Leavenworth; small rooms with little soundproofing (could hear neighbors talking/coughing); kitschy decor; limited coffee service; no TVs; some hidden charges (we were offered beer/wine when we checked in and during dinner, and we were charged an extra $20 for those four drinks upon checkout)
My wife and I have stayed at Mountain Home Lodge several times in the past 10 years, and every time our stay has been very relaxing and very refreshing. Highlights of our stays include lounging around the pool, hiking through the mountains (with awesome panoramic views), and enjoying some of the very best gourmet breakfasts and dinners we have ever had anywhere! At all times the ambiance is quiet and serene, and hosts Kathy and Brad could not be any kinder and more helpful - whether we are asking them to bring us a rootbeer float at the pool, pack us a lunch to take for a hike, or asking directions to a golf course or rafting trip in the nearby villiage of Leavenworth. This is the perfect place for any couple to relax and spend uninterrupted time with each other!
Our family and older children have stayed many times at Mt Home Lodge since 2005. Sledding, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and snowmobiling with gourmet food around a roaring stone fireplace, hot tub and comfy beds were fabulous.
Our children said "this is the best vacation we have ever been on!"
Thank you Kathy, Brad, Brecklyn and Staff for your fantastic hospitality!
Your heartwarming service to our family helped create lasting memories we will cherish forever!
We return to Mountain Home summer after summer, drawn by the beautiful setting, the five star meals and the exceptional hospitality shown by the owners and staff. My husband and I have always stayed in the very lovely 'bridal' suite, but our sister has chosen a simpler room and we all have been comfortable and pleased. The only drawback for two of us has been the location since we live in Minneapolis and have a bit of traveling to do to reach this haven. It's worth it!
Our room was switched at check in, and we got a very, small bedroom that did not appear anywhere on the webpage and listened to the newlywed couple all night long through the walls! No bathtub, no coffee service in the room or in the reception room. The staff does not prepare coffee until 7:30 am, breakfast at 8:30am. At dinner we had hair in one of the plates, they took it away, but sadly had no other servings left over so we did not receive a full dinner, but they did charge us full price for both dinners. Entire staff disappeared around 8 pm and all the lights were turned down to dim, could not even sit out and play a board game! My husband will never go back to Leavenworth after this visit. This place was nothing like what we had expected from the website.
