Elk Meadows Escape

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

A paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, nature lovers, and anyone in need of a peaceful escape. Enjoy a wilderness experience with the comfort of modern amenities in an area that’s called Elk Meadows for a reason. This mountain cabin lies among the elk and evergreens, where you’ll find calm and create lasting memories. The cabin features custom woodwork and cabinetry throughout, and a huge covered deck to enjoy your morning coffee, soak up the summer sun, view the vibrant vine maples in autumn, and watch the snowflakes fall in winter. The modern cook’s kitchen is equipped with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances including a dual fuel double oven. Other features include a 4K High Def LCD LED TV and Blue Ray player (for movies and CDs) and a Bluetooth receiver and speakers to play music right from your phone. The open floor plan is great for gatherings and offers amazing natural light. Each floor features its own bedroom and bath for privacy and convenience.

Without ever leaving Elk Meadows, head outside to watch local wildlife, take a 5-minute walk to the Yakima River (a blue ribbon trophy trout stream) for kayaking, rafting and fly fishing, and ride mountain bikes in summer. Expand your range for swimming, paddle boarding, and boating at Lake Cle Elum, hike hundreds of trails at Salmon la Sac, the Teanaway Valley and Hex Mountain, bike paved trails at Suncadia or mountain bike the Rat Pack or Iron Horse Trail. Go horseback riding or feel some serious horsepower dirt biking and ATVing on nearby trails.

Come winter, snowshoe right out the front door and make snow angels in the yard, or venture out for cross-country skiing at Cabin Creek, tubing, downhill skiing or snowboarding at one of Snoqualmie’s 4 ski resorts, ice skating at Suncadia’s outdoor rink, or arrange a holiday sleigh ride. Snowmobile rentals and tours are available nearby at the Last Resort on Lake Cle Elum.

Visit the historic coal mining town of Roslyn where the hit TV series Northern Exposure was filmed (and parts of the set are still up today). Stroll the Sunday Farmer’s market in Roslyn from June till September. Grab a beer and a show at the famous Brick Tavern (Washington’s oldest continually operating saloon). Find a good read at Basecamp Books & Café, get a pint at Roslyn Brewing, and grab a bite at Village Pizza or Roslyn Mexican Grill. See a flick at the historic Roslyn Theater. Visit Swiftwater Cellars for a flight or indulge in a spa treatment at Glade Spring Spa. For a fine cup of joe, don’t miss Pioneer Coffee in Cle Elum.

Very good house.
beautiful house very well equipped, my only complaint is that there was no wifi in the house, an access pin was provided but the wifi was not found because it did not have a router I spent my stay without internet.

Relaxing spot
This is our second trip to the cabin. My long-time friend and I take a week each year for golf, fishing and cribbage. The cabin is a perfect spot. Easy access to the Yakima River and Suncadia Golf courses. The cabin is well maintained. The kitchen is excellent. The deck and the surrounding tall trees are relaxing.

Wonderful Home, However
This house is really stunning, layout, cabinetry, wood trims etc. well stocked and very comfortable, including the beds. Separate bed/baths make it great for two or three couples to share. If you are “staying put“ this place is it, but here’s the however. As commented in previous reviews, the access road is indeed steep. We would have liked to stroll around the neighborhood, go to the river, etc but could not even walk down that road without fear of sliding on the gravel. Also there is quite a bit of road noise from Hwy 90. There are a number of trail heads near-by that you can drive to, be sure to get a State Park pass at Safeway before you go. Bring your own favorite DVDs, the ones they have are mostly for little kids. All in all it was a wonderful stay.

Gorgeous Cabin Stay
Such a magical experience with having a foot of snow dumped during a weekend getaway. This cabin is gorgeous! Super spacious and just warm and inviting. I could see myself living here! It was truly a beautiful weekend getaway. The pictures of the posting are accurate. For those that read reviews, just some info. - The 3rd queen bedroom is down in the lower part of the home as an extension of the garage. It's cold at first, but you can maintain the temp. However it does seem sorta away from the mainlevel of the house, but it works! - The driveway to the cabin, just as your approach the final turn, it is a steep hill. We had a foot of snow to go through in a 4x4 and we could not make it up the hill. We had to put on chains on all 4 to get up it. So just a FYI for anyone coming during snowy conditions. - Wifi, there is none. Not that it was a big deal, but the TV is a smart TV and you can't use Netflix, or any of those services unless you Hotspot from your phone. There is a bluray, so bring those dvds! - Bring ziplocks, containers, foil, whatever you might need to store leftovers. Otherwise, the kitchen is pretty stocked. - The big back porch has a picnic style table, so there is additional seating than what is shown in the pictures. Otherwise, enjoy your stay as we enjoyed ours!!!

Getaway off the beaten path
Really enjoyed the comfy home. The open kitchen floor plan really made cooking for our group very easy. With the lifting of the fire ban, being able to have a fire outside was magical. Quite and relaxing for sure.

Beautiful, cozy cabin
Absolutely beautiful cabin, pictures don't do it justice! The view is lovely, cabin is very spacious, nothing was lacking in my opinion. If you are visiting in the winter, definitely bring chains! We had quite the time getting up the hill! 100% recommend this place, we'll stay again!

Great space once we found it…..
Yes, we arrived late and it was very dark so it was difficult to find. Address was eventually found on a tree, but……. Accommodations were very nice; entry and exit were very easy; we found everything we needed; one caveat was that the stove burners were a bit tricky; one in particular, front left did have its issues but we were able to make it work. It was great that you offered early check-in but it was not in the cards for my timing; however, when I inquired about late check out, it was offered for a fee; which I found a bit distasteful . We left on time. Our stay was very nice and all things considered, I would rent again if the occasion warranted.

Home Away From Home
I have never felt so "at home" at a rental property. This exceedingly well maintained cabin in the woods is sparkling clean and designed with the most tasteful and warm interior materials. It is very private. Although there are homes nearby you cannot see any from the cabin. Surrounded by tall beautiful Northwest evergreens, you feel as though you are alone in the woods. It should be noted that you can hear the I-90 traffic from the deck of the cabin. That was the only less than stellar aspect of the cabin, but I would return in a heartbeat inspire of that.

Beautiful mix of modern/rustic comfort and luxury. We enjoyed the open floor plan and modern amenities while being tucked away in the woods. The easy access to the river was an unexpected delight.

Nicely constructed cozy cabin in the woods.
Looked like a newly and nicely constructed cabin. Yakima river is only a few steps down. And there is a big covered patio overlooking the river. Few things to keep in mind: - There is no WiFi, but 5G does work, albeit a bit slow. - Cabin is a bit hard to find if you arrive at night. - If it snows, it can be hard to get your car out of the neighborhood, since there is a slope.

Beautiful cabin, no wifi
Wonderful getaway, love the cabin and the woodsy setting. Very nice furnishings everything clean and comfortable. No wifi though and that can be an issue nowadays. Also the yard had a lot of poison ivy, recommend warning signs for those areas. These were the only two issues but overall the place was very nice.

Weekend Getaway
We absolutely loved our stay at Elk Meadows Escape. It was such a nice, quiet, relaxing break for us. The location is perfect for getting around to some of the local areas and the river was a short walk away. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful home
I was originally nervous about the driveway due to seeing that it’s steep but it wasn’t bad at all. The house is gorgeous and literally has everything. I thought not having wifi was going to be rough but we didn’t even notice. Only two recommendations I have would be a throw blanket or two for lounging on the couch and that the bushes could be trimmed down by the water as the immediate access to the river was blocked. Aside from that, perfect stay. Super close to cle Elum lake which was a family hit and there is a close by grocery store to stock up on snacks and ingredients to cook. 10/10
