The rooms
Lodge rooms have hardwood floors and French provincial antiques, with renovated bathrooms looking out onto the ranch.
The water

The pool and hot tub
A heated outdoor pool and ten-person hot tub sit on the lawn, looking out across the Methow Valley hills.

Stained glass and carved wood booths surround the hearth. The bar serves regional microbrews and seasonal small plates.

How it began
Lou Tice built the estate in 1985 to host corporate leaders and visiting sports teams, decades before its 2023 restoration.
