WHAT IS THERE TO DO AT THE LODGE? What guests write about most is the natural beauty surrounding the property, the abundance of trail walks and mountain bike trails but the obvious wintertime highlight and most talked about is the custom built "private" 150+ yard sled hill, “Luke's Luge” which is illuminated by large 1000 watt halogen lights for night sledding = days of family fun.. Enjoy three different runs like Ryan’s Express, Stephens shoot or for the experienced sled fanatic at the back of the property, “The Bullet”. The hill also can double as a fun snowboard or beginner ski hill. In summer the hill is great to Mt. bike down or hike from as it leads to many trails on or around the property and into the wilderness. What else? Outdoor recreation opportunities abound with easy access to the Taneum / Manastash trail that provides over 600 miles of groomed trails for snowmobiling, ATV and dirt bike riding. In the surrounding area enjoy cross country skiing in the Yakima River Valley or the miles of groomed trails in Suncadia 10 minutes from the Lodge. About 25 minutes away enjoy downhill skiing at any of the four Snoqualmie Pass ski areas that boasts one of the largest night skiing operations in the country. Nearby Suncadia operates an ice-skating rink, restaurants and Bars as well as a must visit to the “Northern Exposure” (TV-show) town of Roslyn Washington. Feel free to bring your own snowmobiles as the home enjoys quick access without driving, to miles of terrain. In warmer weather enjoy horseback riding, white water rafting, and an abundance of fly-fishing guides in the area can provide a custom experience for all especially on the Yakima River which is known nationally for its exceptional catch and release trout fishery. Challenge yourself to 18 holes of high mountain golf at nearby Suncadia’s Golf Courses or sharpen your game at the Sun Country 18-hole Golf Course, which you’ll pass on the way up to the Lodge and two minutes from the Private Development front gate. Lastly, for the astronomer, a dream comes true! Just turn your eyes towards the heavens and behold a myriad of constellations and stars from the comfort of your 44-foot front deck at any time of year.

About the host
Hosted by Mark and Carolyn Alfano
My wife and I have 3 children all very active in school, sports and we all enjoy time together as a family which is why we built the Lodge. We wanted a place to enjoy family memories and time with friends in a relaxing environ for all and to share with others.
Why they chose this property
We always had a dream of building a log home in the Cascades and wanted a place to escape to with our family and friends especially in the dark wet days of the Seattle winter season. The eastern slopes of the Cascade Mts offers plenty of snow and sunshine. We built with location in mind and stunning views in the heart of the Washington Cascade Mts. Every time we go up to the Lodge we pinch ourselves and talk about how gorgeous this area is and how relaxing we feel the minute we get out of the car and walk into our beautiful log home.
What makes this property unique
I think the best most unique benefit is waking up each morning and looking out those massive great room windows and seeing the natural beauty that surrounds us. Having a cup of good coffee on the front deck or by the fireplaces and watching the many hummingbirds fly overhead or spotting deer, Elk right outside our windows at times. While that is nice, nothing beats the endless views of the Milky Way when the sun falls and the stars shine. I can't tell you how many shooting stars we see off our front porch whilst taking in the smell of fresh air and pine trees to the bugling of Elk in the distance. So many memorable moments they are so hard to list. We are very fortunate and we thank God and remind ourselves of how lucky we are to be able to enjoy the mountains so much from the comforts of the Lodge we built and share our lodge with so many wonderful guests.
