Love Camp

This is a stunningly beautiful home. The owners have exquisite taste -- every feature of their property is gorgeous, inside and out. The attention to detail is utterly fantastic. The kitchen is stocked with absolutely everything you will need, the bedrooms are luxurious, the bathrooms are pristine. But it also feels cozy, warm, like you're being embraced in a family home. Every member of our group adored the place, it was the favorite topic of conversation for the three days we were there! We loved it so much. Thank you for creating such a beautiful haven for all of us to enjoy.

Natures Paradise

To sum up this place in words is simply impossible. It’s so much more than the written language could possible express. You can feel God’s presence in this place from the moment you arrive. We came to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and to renew our vows in faith, as we weren’t previously married in faith but simply by law. How I came across the location was our first “God Wink” as the Hostess Barbra would say. To be completely honest… our entire trip was one that you can’t come about unless to say it was blessed! And for so many reasons. Our children has the most magical time exploring this wonderland and so did the parents! We CAN’T WAIT to come back. There are no photos to do this location justice! And the Hostess is simply put an ANGEL on earth.

Extended Family Get-together

As we have stayed at this beautiful property numerous times in the past, we can't say enough how unique the home is and how easy it is to work with the owners. We have rented large homes for family reunions many times around the US, but this is the best one we have done, in terms of enjoyment, house appointments, cleanliness, hospitality, location, value, and interacting with the owners. The bedrooms are very large as are the living room, billiards room, kitchen, etc. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY.

Family Winter Retreat

The Lodge is absolutely wonderful! Every space is comfortable and beautifully decorated with exceptional attention to detail. The space accommodates areas for gathering as well as quiet time. The heated porch was a favorite spot for morning coffee and watching eagles soar along the river. Communications with Barb were very timely, kind and gracious. This is truly a magical place and our families favorite winter retreat.

Magical Winter Getaway for My 50th Birthday!

Our stay at this incredible lodge for my 50th birthday weekend was nothing short of perfect. The entire property was beautifully decked out in high-end Christmas décor, with each bedroom featuring its own tree and festive touches throughout. The grand entrance, outdoor lights, and illuminated polar bear made it feel like a winter wonderland.It snowed our first night, and we were amazed to find a crew had already shoveled the walks and plowed the driveway. Despite the snow, we enjoyed the outdoor spaces thanks to the heaters, making it our favorite spot for morning coffee—provided for us, along with everything else we could possibly need. From s'mores fixings to cookware, barware, hand warmers, toiletries, and more, we didn’t have to bring a thing.The hot tub in the snow was truly magical. This lodge is perfect for impressing guests—it’s close to town yet offers the privacy and serenity you want. We’re already planning a return trip in the summer. If I could give it more than five stars, I’d give it a 10!

Wow

Right from the start, the communication was simple and pleasant. The responses were fast and kind. When we arrived, we were blown away. Every single inch of this home is impressive, luxurious, comfortable and cozy. The kitchen, bar, and rec room are accommodating for the entire group to hang out. The back deck that overlooked the river was our favorite… it was heated and cozy, and SO peaceful. We will definitely visit again.

A surprise party for my parents 58th wedding anniversary and my Dad's 80th. The property is beyond stunning. Aunts played Yahtzee, we cooked a prime rib dinner, watched football, went in the hot tub, went to town for October fest. Safeway is about a mile down the road. It is difficult to find the words to describe this beautiful home in the most beautiful setting. This home has everything you would ever need. This was a very special place.

60th Anniversary

Absolutely no place could have topped the Grand River Lodge for our 60th wedding celebration. With eight bedrooms it was a perfect fit for all of our family ages 8 to 80. With nonstop options for activities from golf to pool, hot tub to river front, volleyball to badminton, the week seemed way too short. Endless nooks and crannies accommodated those that took a break to catch up on a good book. The well stocked kitchen wanted for nothing and the elegant decorating topped any place we've ever stayed. We can't thank you enough for an unbelievable week of memories!

Fantastic place for large groups to stay.

Beautiful house on the Wenatchee river, wonderfully equipped for large groups. We loved all the little details that the hosts include with the stay. Our biggest regret was that we didn't have more time to take advantage of all the amenities offered with this property (like the full wet bar, or catering kitchen). The house is even more amazing in person than the pictures make it out to be. If I need a place for a large group in Leavenworth again, I'll certainly book this property!

Family Labor Day Vacation😎

We are so grateful to God and Barbara and Dennis for providing this amazing family vacation. We had a ball in our own spacious, beautiful lodge on the Wenatchee River. Our 3 families ages 12-80, enjoyed watching floaters coming down the river, playing volleyball, basketball and golf outside to playing pool, board games and watching a movie in the theater room inside. Special time reading in the hammocks, on the beach and the deck. Cooking and baking Family meals and enjoying dining outside on the deck and inside. We look forward to a return visit! It was a fantastic family vacation and such a blessing to our family. Thank you again Barbara and Dennis for sharing a paradise on earth.

Grand vacation at The Grand Lodge

wonderful amenities, well appointed, superb quality, generous spaces. if I try to think of something that could be improved it would be a deeper portion of the river pool that is damned with rocks. It was very hot so it would have been nice to have a dipping area. Plus i think we infringed on 2 water snakes that were in the grass at the waters edge

Why they chose this property

The most incredible gathering place we have ever been. When we first drove up to the lodge we were impressed by her presence, but after entering we fell head over heels with how truly grand she is. The biggest surprise was opening the back door to find the roar of the Wenatchee river and we were hooked! Everything about this home is truly GRAND!
We have installed a private putting/chipping green on the front lawn! Bring your wedges and putters and sharpen your skills on your private green! As you sink in to The Grand you will soon discover that this is a 5 star home with a 5 star property. In the summer months the private sandy beach offers relaxation while enjoying the beautiful river. The outdoor decks offer endless seating for viewing the river including a custom concrete bar with a built in ice channel to place your beverage bottles while enjoying the river. The heated covered deck has 2 large sofas 2 cushioned chairs and coffee tables. This is THE spot morning noon and night. We could go on and on but we will leave some of the joy for you to discover.
