Location: Leavenworth, North Central Cascades, Washington State, USA (Nearest major city: Seattle, WA is roughly 120 miles away)
Accommodations: Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible Bed(s), 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Whether traveling with family or friends, my two-bedroom, air-conditioned townhouse condominium is a perfect place to stay. Upstairs are two large bedrooms with queen beds. Those needing or wanting to go to bed early can certainly do so. Those waking early can enjoy a view of the mountains.
By staying at My Alpine Place, you will be able to start your days at your leisure with breakfast in a charming, fully equipped kitchen (still in your robe with your bed-hair if you do mornings as I do). We leave a guest package in the kitchen--enough for you to start your day - and there is a convenience store very near-by. If you have collected laundry during your travels, you will find a washer and dryer in a utility closet in the kitchen.
The living room has a comfortable, queen sofa sleeper, and a 36 inch television with cable service. There is also a DVD player. I do not have a video library. Video/DVD rentals are available at Leavenworth Video , current price $3.75 for new releases, $2.75 for old ones. Or bring favorites from home.
If you are traveling with sports equipment (bikes, kayaks, golf clubs, backpacks, etc), you will find a large storage area behind the carport where you can safely lock your equipment. The Leavenworth area is a wonderful place for bike riding, and the 18-hole golf course is truly beautiful.
When you are ready, Leavenworth is a 10-minute stroll away. If you have children, it may take longer as you pass Icicle Junction on your way, a favorite stop for my granddaughters. My young one likes the rides; my teen prefers the movie theater. Icicle Junction, the town pool, and the local library are the areas set up to provide activities for children. You pass all three in the short walk to town. (Note: If you wish to check email, you can do so at the library. The librarian will provide a guest pass for ½ hour on the library computers.)
Leavenworth is a storybook town inspired by the surrounding landscape. Under the blue skies of spring, summer and fall it is lush with flowers. In winter, costumes, early snowfall, children sledding in the park and Old World architecture appeal to visitors like the fantasies on holiday cards. For me, the town is a reminder of how much effort exists between the vision and the reality. The park of my childhood was simply a lawn, not even a necessarily well kept one. The buildings along main street housed a pharmacy, a hotel, a hardware, and a collection of bars. Now, as I enjoy presentations in the park, I remember my Dad helping to build that park gazebo. I knew the merchants who borrowed to convert 1920’s buildings into the magical town you see. As you enjoy the festivals, the food, the shops, try to imagine the courage required to borrow enough money to actually make a dream come true.
The surrounding landscape did indeed inspire the development of this storybook town, so take time to enjoy the land. Across the street from the condo you will find Osprey Rafting, with great rafting trips. Waterfront Park with its great trails and birding is also within walking distance of the condo. If you decide to take the car out of the carport, you have a great selection of outdoor activities.
Evenings are quiet here. Restaurants remain open, and you can choose your spot based on your palate. If pizza is on the menu, I recommend the Leavenworth Pizza Co (894 US Highway 2) You may eat there or order take out and eat in the comfort of your kitchen.
If you wish evening entertainment, your choices are Icicle Junction for a movie or a theater production. Look on line and buy your tickets in advance. I have seen The Sound of Music several times. It is well done, and it always sells out. OR spend a quiet evening in the hot tub — a personal favorite — a time to enjoy the wonderful night skies. The hot tub/picnic area is for use by those staying in the Icicle Condominiums (8 units), but often you will have the area to yourselves.
No pets and no smoking in the condo. That said, if you wish to stay within easy walking of downtown Leavenworth, I know you will have a wonderful stay at My Alpine Place. If you wish to stay further from town in a wonderful country setting where pets are welcomed, please check the link below for My Country Home.

Awesome stay

We were six adults stayed in this lovely condo. It was a wonderful vacation rental and I would rent it again in future. My friends from Austin and LA loved it. Reservation was straightforward and easy. Very good co-ordination by owner and manager of the property. 2 Bedrooms, a pull-out bed and 1.5 bathroom was enough for six people. Pullout bed was big enough and it felt the same way as a regular mattress - Very comfortable. There were lot of linens provided, cooking utensils and Kitchen was large enough for six people to sit, chat and eat. the location was very quiet, lot of space to play outside and walkable distance to the main streets of Leavenworth. Lot of activities and sightseeing nearby. Overall, it was a wonderful vacation rental and ideal for families. I would recommend or rent it again for sure.

We rented this condo for a weekend during the Christmas Lighting. It's nicely equipped and clean, with 2 bedrooms upstairs and a pull out couch downstairs. The owner makes sure there are plenty of towels, paper products, coffee and all the appliances you will need. I liked the fact that it was away from all the crowds and very quiet, but a short walk or a free bus ride took us right into downtown. I will rent this property again.

My girlfriend and I have had the pleasure of staying at this Condo over an October weekend for each of the past two years. The place is very clean and comfortable and given the easy walk downtown it's an excellent value. The property owner and her local contact were extremely helpful and courteous. Already looking forward to my next trip to this great town and I wouldn't plan to stay anywhere else!

We so enjoyed staying at your Leavenworth condo! We have been going to Leavenworth for 4 years now as a "family" get together with my daughter and her husband and your home has been the nicest so far. Wonderful location and we really liked having both bedrooms upstairs away from the kitchen so whoever awoke first could head for the coffee pot and TV downstairs without fear of waking the others! The hot tub area was very inviting with chairs and propane BBQ but the nights were too warm to take advantage......maybe next time! There will be a next time:) Thanks again for making this vacation and the rental process sooooooooo easy! Debbie
