Wooded Retreat Guesthouse on 5 AC yet within 3min of downtown Leavenworth!

The Aspen Carriage House provides you with a spa-like wooded and restorative retreat at the foothills of Sleeping Lady Mountain to either relax, adventure, or just work remotely. Our 1,000 SF carriage house is tucked away in 5 acres of secluded forest, yet within 2 miles of all the Bavarian mountain town amenities of downtown Leavenworth. Our carriage house is also the perfect homebase whether you're coming in to town for Oktoberfest, Leavenworth's Christmas light celebration, Maifest, or any of the other festivals throughout the year.

Enthusiastic about the mountains? Do you need a break from the hustle and bustle or perhaps a restorative setting to work remotely? Our dog-friendly Aspen Carriage House can provide it all. Set on 5 acres of forest, we have walking and hiking trails on-site, are 38 miles from Stevens Pass ski resort, 37 miles to Mission Ridge ski resort, 3 miles from Leavenworth's very own ski hill with après ski patio, 2 miles to downtown Leavenworth, and offer world class hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing trails within a few miles. Leavenworth also offers plenty of local wineries, vineyards, and breweries, and you can also enjoy those beverages while floating the Wenatchee River at any number of outdoor activity centers.

After spending the day either adventuring, enjoying downtown Leavenworth, or just working remotely, you can come back to the carriage house to recharge and relax for the next day. The carriage house offers custom wood finishes and a river rock fireplace inside that creates a welcoming alpine retreat, or if you're like us and can't get enough of Mother Nature, our expansive deck with majestic mountain views also offers a swinging bed (heated of course!) to sleep under the stars! And don't forget to relax in our outdoor hot tub with a glass of wine or beer from one our local Leavenworth breweries and wineries before turning in for the night.

The space specifics:
This private, 1,000 SF, 1+ bedroom (pull-out sleeper sofa in living room) carriage house features custom wood touches and a river rock gas fireplace that create a welcoming alpine retreat that can comfortably sleep 4 adults (or kids!).

Our living room offers you a river rock gas fireplace, Smart TV (all your favorite TV apps), and cozy furniture including a pull-out sleeper sofa.

Blazing fast Wi-Fi for either working remotely, streaming, or gaming!

There’s a full kitchen with a range, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, and all you need to either cook a cozy dinner from some local farmer's market finds (while in season) or just come back and relax with a glass of wine. Eat on the dining room table, kitchen bar, or on the covered deck.

Full bath with heated floors, tiled tub and shower.

Light, airy bedroom with a queen bed and luxury bedding. In addition, we’ve got the perfect option for nature loves: an outdoor ‘swinging bed’ (with heated mattress!) that allows you the opportunity to sleep under the stars and get the fully immersive nature experience with all the stars, sounds of nature, and a relaxed night’s sleep out on the expansive deck. The pleasure of outdoor sleeping with indoor comfort.

On-site parking with up to 2 vehicles directly adjacent to the carriage house. Please note that during the winter there may be snow on the private access road up to the house. Chains or all wheel drive may be required.

Guests have complete use of Carriage House (including expansive deck), hot tub, and private patio.

The carriage house is attached to our main house by covered breezeway, but completely private. We live next door in the main house, but provide 100% privacy for our guests. However, we're excited to provide recommendations for our favorite local spots upon request! Guests will have complete and private use of the carriage house and hot tub which is located on the covered patio between the main house and carriage house.

We accept up to two dogs each. Out of necessity we've found we have to charge a $75.00 per pet fee for the additional cleaning. We also ask that you please keep your pets off the furniture in respect of our other guests that may not have canine friends of their own. If there is damage or excessive hair on furniture, we may assess an extra cleaning or damage fee as necessary.

Perfect retreat close to town and hiking
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful guesthouse property. We took advantage of the hot tub and heated outdoor bed. It was the perfect way to catch up with an old friend! Property has easy access to town and hikes, yet provided a peaceful place to land our heads at the end of the day. Clean, quiet and the stargazing can’t be beat! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We stayed at the Aspen Carriage House for a little get away during the week. It was absolutely perfect. The house was so nicely located so close to town but yet you felt like you were farther away! It was located on a breathtaking property. The owners of the property were so respectful of our privacy and time here even though they live on the property we didn’t really see them. The kitchen was nicely stocked with cooking utensils and really spacious. The house was very clean and neat. The bathroom was really nice. The bedroom was a nice size. The outside porch with the swinging bed was an absolute dream. Waking up to birds singing and light on the top of the mountains was magical. I can’t image how dreamy it is during the winter. Best vacation spot ever.

Totally Relaxing and Beautiful Setting
We really enjoyed our stay at the Aspen Carriage House. The house was just right for two adults and two children. The available activities (such as enjoying the great views and nature from she elevated deck and floating bed, relaxing in the hot tub, watching the smart TV, or going for an easy walk along the crystal clear and cold canal) kept our family entertained and not very motivated to go explore all the wonderful things in the Leavenworth area. It is a piece of heaven. Thank you for sharing it with us!

A wonderful cozy place with lots of great snow, close to town but serene enough, to be secluded. Hosts were incredibly gracious and accommodating. Would highly recommend and would stay again! Thank you!

We had a fantastic time staying at the Wooded Retreat Guesthouse. Close enough to drive to downtown, yet felt we were really staying in a cabin in the mountains. Very clean and also very thoughtfully stocked with anything and everything needed. Very highly recommend and hope to return!

Fall Color Getaway
The Aspen Carriage House was the perfect cozy fall getaway to see the beautiful colors of Autumn. Our hosts were very friendly and extremely respectful of our privacy. We felt very comfortable and the house seemed quite private. The home is very clean and well stocked including a few nice snacks which was a sweet surprise. The location is very close to Leavenworth and some great hiking trails we enjoyed with our dog. Everything was very cozy, but the outdoor heated bed swing I could have lied in all day and night. Thank you, I’m sure we will see you again!

Awesome, but…
Everything was great, really perfect, except for the location of the hot tub. We rented this place because the description said it was the whole house, but it is a guest house/mother-in-law style place and the hot tub is in between the garage and the main house which offers you zero privacy. So for a romantic getaway wife my wife on our 2nd anniversary, this was a lot awkward. I paid a LOT of money to get a place with a hot tub but this made the hot tub almost unusable for us. There were kids running around the property and their room, the kitchen and main dining area faced the hot tub. Not cool. Otherwise the amenities were great and the swinging bed was amazing!

This property was so wonderful, from the location (perfect distance from town, close to all the trails and anything you'd want to do) to the swinging bed on the deck. I loved my stay here and hope to visit again. The owners were friendly and accommodating (my friend surprised me as a last-minute guest and the owners were completely understanding) and the carriage house itself was charming and comfortable. I fully intend on staying here again!

Everything about this cabin was spectacular. Excellent location in the woods, very quiet and peaceful, but at the same time only 2 minutes from the Bavarian village of Leavenworth. It has everything you could possibly need in your day-to-day, all very clean and well-intentioned. The hanging outside bed was a unique and relaxing experience, as much or more than a spa. A must stay in if you plan to go to Leavenworth! Definitely will come back!
