Historic Property ~ the Brown Family Homestead

It was peaceful and dog friendly. I recommend the stay!

The cabin was really cozy and just what we wanted to see some snow before Christmas

Upstairs bedroom windows were painted shut, no fresh air. I don’t believe this is legal! Fridge wasn’t clean. Electric tea kettle had stale water and a dead bug in it. The “new hot tub feature” was a very well used hot tub. Hot tub was stinky. Had to find the chemicals for it and add water. Under sink in kitchen had a rusty and gross sponge holder. No clean new clean sponges for sink. Had to use Clorox wipes to clean the table and counter tops. A lot of dust that had obviously been sitting for some time. The broom was full of dog hair which got on the floor when I swept. Some weird hole patching in the kitchen with a Brillo pad. No WiFi due to the storm. Also no way to watch tv. Host had to bring us a dvd player. No spatula in the kitchen. Couldn’t even get in the door as the wrong code was sent to me. Not what we expected out of a wedding venue that charges 400 per night. Carbon monoxide alarm started going off in the middle of the night and wouldn’t stop. Were we bring poisoned with carbon monoxide??? Beautiful property but the house needs a serious deep clean.

The Brown Family Homestead is a special place any time of year, and a wonderful place to make memories. Lots of space, well-appointed, wonderful communication.

Wonderful. Feeding the horses. Wandering the 15 acres. Warmth inside. Leavenworth magical.

This house is very 'rustic'. The staircase has very narrow treads and is extremely steep...would not pass building code today. No paper towels or dish towels in the kitchen. The king size bed mattresses were passable but the two rooms with double mattresses were very uncomfortable. One night the circuit breaker tripped and we woke up freezing.The host was responsive. Best thing was large number of beds to accommodate children which we did not have. My dog loved the squirrels outside the window...highlight! Too expensive for the quality IMHO.

Perfect family meet up and cozy winter retreat for the holiday. Lots of sleeping space and perfect holiday tree waiting for us to put our gifts around and plenty of space for playing in the snow

We had a great stay at the Brown Family Homestead, but there were a few things that could have been better. The furniture is very worn and the home can get very warm in the peak summer months. The window air unit pretty much ran nonstop during our July stay. The staircase is very steep, typical of old farmhouses. That might be a problem for older adults or very young children. That was the bad. On the plus side was the peacefulness of the location. Wildflowers covered the meadow next to the house, the kids loved plucking eggs from the chicken coop and feeding carrots to the horses. We went through 15 lbs. of them during our weeks stay. There is abundant wildlife in the area. We spotted wild turkeys on the property and spotted black bear less than a mile away on two occasions. The location was a mixed bag for us. It was close to Wenatchee State Park, reasonably close to Leavenworth, but a bit farther away from Wenatchee where our family members live. We felt the good far outweighed the bad during our stay and would recommend the homestead to anyone looking for a quiet retreat in the country. If you’d like to give your family a taste of country life, this is the place.

Our three-generation family (and dogs) enjoyed our stay at the Brown Family Homestead so much. The hosts were extremely friendly and very communicative. A small issue was resolved very quickly. The house itself is very old with a simple, rustic charm. There are 15 acres to explore and gorgeous views of the mountains and forests. The kids (ages 3, 6, and 9) loved feeding carrots to the horses, watching the barn swallows swoop, and playing soccer outside. We appreciated the full kitchen and large dining room table. The setting is quiet, peaceful, and very restorative.

Enjoyed the quaint cabin. Plenty of space for us to spread out.
