Located only 4 miles from Plain, 12 minutes from Lake Wenatchee State Park, and 30 minutes to either Leavenworth or Stevens Pass, this lovely, cozy log home was masterfully crafted by a popular northwest log home builder.
As the name so aptly implies, Big Jim Mountain Lodge features a stunning view of Big Jim Mountain, named after the famed first American to summit Mt. Everest in 1963, Jim Whittaker. Big Jim lies on the southeastern extreme of the Chiwaukum Mountains, a subrange within Washington's Cascade Range. With their often reddish rock and tundra upper slopes, these mountains resemble Colorado's mountains more than what is typically thought of as the Washington Cascades. Justimagine the backdrop!
With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, Big Jim Mountain Lodge sleeps up to 8 comfortably. The main floor has a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area and living room, as well as a master bedroom with king bed and en suite master bath. In addition, there is a laundry area, and a second bathroom with a tub.
The second floor has two bedrooms– one with a queen, and the second with a two-queen bunkbed.
The beautifully designed outdoor yard features a very attractive seating area, along with a newly installed outdoor hot tub with mountain views, and a lush and lovely fresh new lawn. Close to the ski pass and the lake for great summer and winter sports, fishing, and hiking, this is an ideal location for those who like to snowmoblie on the trails near Lake Wenatchee State Park.
Big Jim Mountain Lodge is sure to become a favorite family vacation spot!

We had an absolutely great time here! Easy access to trails and the river; it was a fun area to explore. This place has a super smart layout - you can literally see out to the hot tub through the open great room/kitchen from the pool table on the open second floor. Awesome. It's furnished quite nicely and just felt like a well put-together, relaxing space inside and out. Memorable trip, want to go back! Thank you!!

What a lovey place to spend on long weekend. The minute you drive up to this beautiful log home you feel the tensions of the city fade away. The great room with the inviting fireplace, a kitchen with every amenity to cook a gourmet meal in to the comfy outdoor covered deck with hot tub. We built a fire outside in the fire pit even though it was very chilly outside, you felt like you could touch the stars they were so bright. I would recommend this wonderful getaway to a family, couples or a group of friends looking for a nice getaway. Thank you !, we will return.

Big Jim Mountain Lodge instantly lifts the west side worries away! My family and I enjoyed a peaceful walk to the river. We woke each morning feeling refreshed and renewed! The Lodge boast comfy beds, an amazing hot tub and every kitchen utensil imaginable! We'll be returning yearly for a family get-away!

We loved the house. Very well outfitted for cookware (important to me) - in fact best I have ever seen in a rental house. Very comfortable beds, fabulous hot tub. Even the neighborhood dog Cody who looked in on us was great (no, we did not feed him :). Only issue was that the gas fireplace was apparently not connected - we didn't figure this out until after 5pm on our arrival day Friday, and we were out all day on Saturday hiking so we could not connect with the Destination Leavenworth folks during their business hours. Small issue. Would stay here again and highly recommend. Oh, pool table very much enjoyed by the teenagers as well.

We loved it and were pleasantly surprised by all the amenities. We spent lots of time playing pool, sitting around playing games and soaking in the hot tub

The Big Jim Mountain Lodge is a wonderful property. Managed by Discover Leavenworth the house and amenities are perfect. The kitchen in this place is fully loaded and the beds and furniture are spectacular. We had a great time.

We were at this property for 4 nights between Christmas and NYE 2017. This was an absolutely perfect property. We have absolutely no complaints, and only praise for the property and location. There was a snowstorm during our stay and with everything covered in snow it was as if we were living in a winter wonderland. The community where this cabin is located even had a private snow plow company they hire to come through on a regular basis and plow, which is good because we didn't really have any food and were concerned about whether we would be able to get out with all the snow. By 10am that morning the snowplow was there! The inside and outside of the cabin are beautiful, and although we were two parents and two kids, it would be very comfortable even with 3 or four additional people at the property. The only slight inconvenience inside the cabin was that both bathrooms are downstairs and all but the master bedroom are upstairs. Really not a problem, but keeping that in mind when reserving is a good idea. They even had an awesome little contraption that helped dry out boots and gloves very efficiently overnight! There is a community street that goes right next to the cabin property, that goes fairly steeply downhill, and it was awesome because with snow it was a ready made sledding hill! With sleds at the property, the kids -and adults- had a great time passing hours sledding there. There were several others staying in the area also using the hill. It was far enough away from the actual cabin that we never felt that strangers were too close or privacy compromised. Keep in mind, this property is about 5 miles down a street with no exits, so to get there is not extremely quick. It is probably a good 15 minute drive away from anything, including the main highway 2. If you are not looking to be in the middle of things, it is a nice easy drive and very relaxing. We never had a problem with the out of the way location, and were very happy with our stay.
