A hidden gem for all you skiers and snowboarders out there. When visiting Wenatchee in the winter and have an interest in skiing or snowboarding, we strongly recommend taking the short 13 mile drive to Mission Ridge. They pride themselves on being the 1st resort to open for the season, and also tend to get light, fluffy snow, rather than the dense wet snow on the western slope resorts.

And if you are not a skier, there is wonderful cozy lodge and the views are incredible. It’s super close to Wenatchee, and is a refreshing alternative to the overcrowded slopes at Stevens & Snoqualmie Pass. 



A short 3 block walk from the hotel, or don't hesitate to drive, as there is ample parking, is the wonderful and serene Riverfront Park on the banks of the Columbia River, which has a little over a mile of shoreline trail. There is river and dock access, a mini railroad kids enjoy, various playgrounds, picnic benches, a large restroom facility, and sprawling grass for throw blanket picnics, tossing a frisbee, going for a bike ride, or a nice walk. Riverfront Park is a nice, well- kept, refreshing space with lots of shade in summer. And it is just one of many city-operated parks within the city limits of Wenatchee.

No better place to spend an afternoon!

OHME GARDENS       

Just on the outskirts of the city limits lies the beautiful Ohme Gardens Park with a breathtaking view of the snow-capped Cascade Mountains and the Columbia River valley and the town of Wenatchee. This expansive garden park welcomes you to enjoy the flourishing alpine meadows, shimmering pools and shady evergreen pathways where the hot, relentless summer sun allows comfort surrounded by serenity.

In 1991, the Ohme family, after spending over 41 years bringing the garden of their dreams to life, they sold the Gardens and surrounding property to Washington State Parks to preserve them for the public and for generations to come. The Gardens are now owned and managed by Chelan County.

Just a short 22 mile drive northwest of our Inn and downtown Wenatchee will take you to the year-round tourist hot spot, the Bavarian style town of Leavenworth. Nestled in the mountains, surrounded by beautiful scenery, with it's awesome culture, great food, unique shops, a great spot for visitors of all ages. The town is really a site to see, with different activities and adventures for every season.

During the Holiday's, Thanksgiving Day to the end of February, this is one of the most incredibly decorated towns and lighted up towns, where everything screams "Christmas", and the Festival of Lights, the tree lighting ceremonies are nothing less than spectacular. Known world-wide and voted best Christmas Town in the United States this last year. 

THE GORGE AMPHITHEATRE   

35-40 minutes down the highway from Wenatchee is a world-famous live music venue and outdoor festival location, "The Gorge at George". This Amphitheatre is one of America’s premier outdoor concert venues, hosting some of the world’s biggest performers. Situated at the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in a rural area above the Columbia River, the location offers spectacular views, a spectacle of magnificent sunsets, mountain vistas, and beautiful daytime skies.

Unless you are camping onsite with few amenities or want to overpay for a motel room in Quincy, our Downtown Inn is not far away to get a good night's rest following your favorite show before heading home the next day!
