Dream Cottage at Suncadia

In my last few posts I showed you one of two cottages rented 

for the families attending my son's wedding 

at Suncadia in Cle Elum, WA. 

Come along with me and we will take a little tour of the Bride's family cottage. 

I was able to slip away unnoticed with my daughter, Heather, 

while the rehearsal dinner was underway in the cottage next door. 

On the outside, this cottage looks very unassuming indeed. 

But step inside!......

We are immediately drawn to the beautiful post and beam architecture

and tall stone fireplace. 

Clerestory windows let in plenty of light.

The beautiful fireplace can be used inside and out!

I love the bark covered photo frame and vintage snow shoes.

This lovely dining area also has a view of the fireplace.

Gorgeous wood framed windows stand in for artwork,

and the twig chandelier adds the perfect rustic ambiance.

I love the spot light on the tripod in the corner!

Let's take a peek out the lovely glass doors.....

How peaceful and beautiful is this?

Right on the golf course.

Fore!
(a word shouted loudly as a warning signal when a ball is hit and heading in the direction of another player)

As we come back inside through the dining area, we enter the kitchen.
I could see myself cooking up a storm in this beautiful space!

How lovely are those reclaimed hardwood floors?

Daughter Heather gives us a smile.

Let's take a look through the door to her left....

We pass through and look to the right
and find a very efficient laundry room
with beautiful cabinetry, bead board walls, a sink,
and locker style hanging cubbies.

A quick peek out the kitchen window.

We re-enter the living room, past the front door beside the staircase
and enter the hallway to see the master bedroom.

I showed you this photo before....

But I didn't show you this!

Or this! An indoor-outdoor shower!

I think I could live here.....

Let's go upstairs, shall we?

At the top of the stairs we come to a light filled office area.

Don't you love the desk chair?

This is the view over the railing.

We continue past the office area to the next level
up a few more steps and come to a long hallway.

Reclaimed barn board frames the light filled corridor on one side,
and two bunk cubbies fill the other side.

Each cubby has its own t.v.!

At the far end of the hallway were two more bedrooms,
this smaller room on the left, with framed quilt art,
(and un-made twin beds and personal belongings),
and another large bedroom suite with bathroom to the right.
(also occupied).

We return down the hallway, noticing the pretty paned windows.

A woodland scene graces a shelf opposite the stairway.

We continue to the end of the hallway to a 'bunk-house' bath!

Mirrors flank the two windows and you can see Heather and I reflected in the glass.

What you can't see is my expression of delight!

I was absolutely charmed by the porcelain sinks, the weathered paneling....

And the vintage style faucets.

Such beautiful detail.

A sliding barn door concealed a tiled shower and toilet.

Is it possible to fall in love with a bathroom?

But with guests waiting next door,
it was time to say goodbye to this wonderful dream house.

A true example of Northwest Cottage Style.

I hope you enjoyed taking this little tour with me.
If you ever get a chance to visit Washington State,
I highly recommend this beautiful resort.

Each of these homes are privately owned
and probably out of reach for the average budget to buy,
(unless you inherited a trust fund)
xo
 but they are well worth the experience to rent
if you have several families
 or family members to
contribute to the expense of renting one.
There are cottages of all sizes and budgets to rent
and you can also stay at the Inn.

I do hope I get the chance to come back some day
with members of my own family
or maybe just the two of us. <3

There are so many wonderful amenities, including swimming pools, a spa,
hiking, golf, and in the winter, snow sports.

They even allow dogs at the Inn
 and we shared many an elevator ride with families
that included their beloved pets.

There is a fire-pit at night at the Inn
 and someday I hope to come back
and hike down these stairs to the Cle-Elum River
(pro-nounced Klee-Ellum)

I think I might need to get in shape first if I want to hike back up!

Thank you for all of your sweet well wishes for my son and his new bride.

It really touched our hearts.
