Blue Lake Serenity

Experience lake-view living at this bright and modern two-bedroom ranch overlooking Lake Chelan. With a large outdoor deck, bubbling hot tub, Ping-Pong, and foosball tables, plus easy access to water sports, it will provide everything you need for an unforgettable escape to North-Central Washington. Perched high on a hill on Lake Chelan's western shores, this spacious home lies just 15 miles from Historic Downtown Chelan, where you'll find a variety of boutique shops and restaurants in the main street area with an Old West feel. Vacationing families and groups of friends will be just two miles to Fields Point for a ferry ride to Stehekin and five and a half miles to the Lake Chelan State Park boat launch. Come home from a day of zipping around the lake to relax in this home's inviting interior or out in the hot tub. Settle in for some entertainment in the living area (TV, Blu-ray DVD, Netflix), where you can also spread out on comfortable couches, read a book on the wicker chair, or flip on the electric fireplace during chilly evenings. Just beyond sliding glass doors, get a better look at the lake from the outdoor deck, which doubles as the perfect place for alfresco meals. Enjoy the lakeside panorama while sitting on Adirondack chairs, or fire up the deck's gas grill for a summertime barbecue. Both indoor and outdoor seating welcome meals together with your whole group. Speaking of dining, the kitchen's modern appliances, cookware, and wide granite countertops make it easy to whip up homemade breakfast, lunch, and dinner while you're here, and there's even additional breakfast bar seating. Head into the garage for a post-meal Ping-Pong tournament, or play on the foosball table. You could also toss Bocce balls in the yard or wind down the day with sunset views from the hammock strung between two evergreen trees. Retreat to bed when it's time to call it a day. The finished garage also contains a futon that converts to an additional queen bed. The main suite has a walk-in bathroom with a tub that's perfect for relaxing soaks at the end of the day. Wake with a fresh cup of coffee in the kitchen, pull out a clean pair of clothes from the washer/dryer, and connect to the free WiFi to plan your next adventures. Sample the region's acclaimed wines at over a dozen local wineries, rent a watercraft and head onto the lake, or lace up your hiking boots for a wildland trek in the Wenatchee National Forest. If you've brought kids, take them for a day of wet and wild fun at Slidewaters Waterpark 14 miles southeast. Plan your next lake escape at this charming Lake Chelan home - book it today! Things to know: Please be aware that there are families of deer and a bear that roam the site. They make for beautiful viewing but are wild animals, so exercise caution.
