Shared Game Room: Dazzling Cle Elum Home

beautifully equipped house, many amenities and an amazing view

The lake was dry during our stay but still beautiful home.

We had booked this home to celebrate my dad’s 80th birthday and were hoping for a special setting overlooking the lake, so it was a major disappointment to learn that Cle Elum Lake is actually a reservoir that supports nearby agriculture, so its water level fluctuates throughout the year. During our October stay, there was no lake visible from the house—only a wide stretch of dirt. The listing did not mention that lake views may diminish or disappear depending on the season with variable water levels. It’s also worth noting that both full bathrooms are en-suite, which made it a bit awkward for our family, since people have to enter someone’s bedroom to use the shower. Additionally, there is no cellular service in the area. While the home’s Wi-Fi was reliable during our stay, bandwidth occasionally struggled to support multiple users during video calls or streaming. We also experienced a few maintenance issues that were promptly addressed but could not be resolved during our stay. The cleaning could have been more thorough, as there were cobwebs on some light fixtures and other small details that were overlooked.Bring your Northwest Forest Parking Pass if you plan to hike in the area. While we were very disappointed with the non-lake views, the house was comfortable for our family, the game room was fun, and the lot is private (the separate-but-attached rental unit onsite was not rented during our stay.) The property manager is very responsive.

What an amazing place! This home is very beautiful and perfectly designed for a relaxing and fun time with family. The hosts are great! The beds are comfortable. The views are amazing. Deer, turkeys and birds visited daily.During our stay we were able to hike Sno Lake and explore nature. The lake levels are currently low due to weather, however, we drove just 10 minutes to get to the south side beach area. We also drove 1-1/2 hours into Seattle to enjoy time with our daughter who lives in the city. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!

Great stay. Management was incredibly communicative and helpful. Property was perfect for what we had, which was 4 afults and 3 kids aged 3-5. Plenty of space and games, even some wild turkeys!

Beautiful house in a quiet and private spot on the hill. Everything is designed to make your stay easy and pleasant—from the fully equipped kitchen to the abundance of towels in the bathroom and for the bathtub.A small note for summer visitors: you won’t have a full view of Lake Cle Elum, as the water level recedes at the end of the house view.PS: Plenty of wildlife in the area! We were even visited by a friendly group of wild turkeys around the house.

The setting and cabin were just what we were looking for! Beautiful views and lots of snow!

Wonderful space to spend time with family! Quiet, gorgeous views, and fully stocked. Game room and hot tub are shared. We'll be back!

Beautiful views, tranquil and serene. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Everything was absolutely perfect. We will be back. Thank you!

We so enjoyed staying here for my birthday. It was a group of friends who hadn’t seen each other in awhile, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place. Even with someone staying in the adjoining property, we still felt privacy and the ability to use all common spaces.

One of the best rentals I’ve stayed in. Kitchen was well stocked, view was amazing and private lot was just what we were looking for. Zero complaints or even suggestions for improvement, would definitely rent again.

This was a 6 person multigeneration vacation in an awesome house. We had everything we needed plus game room, hot tub and BBQ. Beautiful mountain views and the stargazing was amazing.

Great spacious, well kept house. Lovely location, very quiet. Top notch furnishings

I consider myself a bit of a location connoisseur - I love finding unique places with amazing amenities and this one checked all the boxes. The pictures, while 100% accurate, did not fully encompass all the wonders of this home. I booked this spot to celebrate my partner's 28th birthday, and our group fell in love with this spot. The beds were unbelievably comfy, the house had so many wonderful perks (house speakers, a full pantry, lots of kitchen items, a fun bar area, and so much space), and it was great to disconnect for a couple days. We knew ahead of this stay that cell service would be limited, but we didn't expect that to become such an unexpected perk as we were all able to be present and stay in the moment. We stayed up at night and sat outside watching the meteors and shooting stars as the night sky loomed above us. We truly had the best time staying here, and we're already itching to return!
