Leavenworth - Washington's Best Kept Secret

To anyone who has had the privilege to explore this beautiful state, I would also hope they had the opportunity to experience Leavenworth. Fun for all ages, this small Bavarian town is nestled among snowcapped Cascade Mountains, surrounded by beautiful lakes, and an endless array of German food, wine tasting, artwork displays, sleigh rides, majestic views and skiing is just a short drive away. It is an escape from the city, and a unique getaway.

All around and near Highway 2 there are an abundance of motels, with rooms available to fit every budget. Bed and breakfast's, cabins, and RV parks just to name a few accommodations. Suites are popular here for romantic getaways, many of which include ski packages, snowmobile tours and other outdoor activities. Some suites have in-room fireplaces, Jacuzzi tubs, and some even have both depending on your room preference. For the true romantic, some even come equipped with a choice bottle of wine, chocolates and desert served right to your door. The staff is very pleasant and accommodating. Weddings are a popular event here, as well as reunions and get-togethers, and they can be as quiet and discrete or as large and detailed as you want them to be. Regardless what your preference, the folks of Leavenworth are sure to accommodate to make it memorable for you.

Hiking, biking, fishing, climbing, skiing, shopping, wine tasting, the list goes on. If you visit their website you will see they have an event calendar for every month of the year, so there is never a bad time to come and visit. http://www.leavenworth.org/index.html will give you a good idea of what Leavenworth has to offer, as well as answer some of your questions you might have regarding directions, accommodations, eateries, or anything else that might perk your interest. Speaking on personal experience, I was married there by private ceremony and I must say we had a truly wonderful time; the food was great, the people were great, our days were packed with things to do, and the scenery is breathtaking. So, if you would like to escape from the city life for a weekend, or simply want to take a week with the family and go some place unique, I recommend you discover the beauty hidden among the wilderness; the mountainous oasis of Leavenworth, Washington.
