10 Amazing Getaway Spots for Seattle-Area Families to Book Now

Head into the Cascades to Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort for fresh air in a quiet setting. Unlike most hotels, the guest rooms here do not have TVs, refrigerators or minibars — and that’s by design. The idea is for you to get in touch with nature and eat chef-prepared food. (Sign us up!)

Go for a hike along the river and through the woods. Kids can earn patches for completing a bird walk, garden tour or scavenger hunt. Eagle Creek Ranch, about 25 minutes away, offers horseback riding, and area rafting companies will take you on a wild ride. From the resort, it’s a 10-minute drive into the Bavarian-themed town of Leavenworth, which is a delightful destination all year around.

The lovely pool and hot tub at Sleeping Lady are open seasonally from about mid-April through mid-October.
