Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort

OH MY Goodness it was lovely!
no TV in the room, which was fine.
oh, ha — just remembered, we had a line of ants we watched in the bathroom, we didn’t bother them, they didn’t bother us.
beds and loft were very cool! just hubs and me, but our room had room for more. I ended up sleeping in a diff bed to get away from his snoring.
the FOOD!!! oh man. the FOOD!!! wow. wow wow zowie! dinner and breaky. nom nom! (now, I want to go back!
we were there when there was snow on the ground, was fun. also, had a horse drawn sleigh ride the following day.
we went to use the hot tub in the dark, and had a wonderful time.
every thing is very well done and very pretty. we loved walking the grounds and seeing the fish, and all the Chihuly art glass! spectacular!
bring your hunny, for sure!

The grounds are lovely and the wait staff at King Fisher do an outstanding job. The rooms are nice but very cramped for a family and there is really no where to sit. The loft has an extremely steep ladder. They restock glasses and make the bed daily but they don’t do any cleaning of the rooms for multiple night stays. I suppose that is part of being an environmentally friendly resort.

Great setting and grounds. Food was average with a few really great items like the bacon at breakfast with spinach and cheese eggs. Dinner was actually pretty bad after a good breakfast. Chowder was a bit to busy and not very tasty and the prime rib was ok. Plenty of mini desserts that were lacking taste.
Staff was super friendly all over the grounds and we’re always helpful. Rooms are a bit cramped but the comfy beds definitely hit the spot. Lofts are a bit sketchy if you’re not fit.
In all it was a great experience there but it mostly had to do with the setting and convince of not leaving the grounds.
We’ll be back to give it another shot.

This is my first visit to Leavenworth and what a way to start my adventure here but with my yogis. I came here for my very first yoga retreat and… this place is excellent! Five star organic foods, never ran out of beverage whether I was at the Exercising room or the front office– It was always avail. The foods they served were all delicious!!! Enjoyed eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. For sure!
My room was so cozy and I didn’t have to ask for anything extras. I had everything I needed within my reach. My yogi friends and I hung out in the hot tub and It was great! Too bad the swimming pool is closed at this time.
The staff is super attentive and just great attitude. Say no more!
There are lots to do here. They have a spa, organic garden, hiking trail, etc.
I would come back here in a heartbeat. Lovely, relaxing, chill time for me. Sometimes, we need «me time» and this was perfect. Loved it!
Thanks to my instructor Susan R. for introducing this place to me. Namaste…

Went for a one-​night getaway. Clean, cabin room with comfy bed. Dinner at the Kingfisher was exceptional. Outdoor seating with mountain and river terrain view. Buffet-​style and each dish was better than the next. Breakfast at O’Grady’s was very good as well. Service all around was excellent. Grounds were well-​kept and nice to walk. Pool was great for night swim. Location is close to Leavenworth but far enough away to feel like another place. Peaceful and quiet. Not a «resort» in the traditional sense. No valet, bell boys, or TVs in rooms. Just a nice, simple, and complete place to stay. Would go again and plan to do so soon.

Our family went for a get away. Our experience at O’Grady’s was so awful I don’t know where to begin. I ordered a Crab Omelette which had Crab, Cheese and Avocado. When I received my omelette the cheese and avocado were there but no crab. I sent it back, they remade it and when it came back, much to my surprise they didn’t have the cheese in it. Trying to keep my patience, I informed another waitress of the problems with the omelette. She then brought me a plate of cold cheese to add to my omelette. By this time the omelette was stone cold. My son-​in-​law asked if it could be heated. Have you ever had steaming hot avocado? Not so good! We had to beg for refills on coffee and some of us did not get our juice. All in all it was a battle to get breakfast. It was unenjoyable to say the least for many of us in the party of 10.
I told the manager of our experience and he thanked me for the feedback and the cook and waitress were new employees. We all have to learn when we have a new job but having an experienced employee shadowing them would be advisable for a few shifts.
The resort is in a beautiful setting and the employees were very pleasant but the food and restaurant service had a lot to be desired. For the money it costs to stay here, I don’t think it was that great. It’s ok

Very cool place nestled back in the hills of Leavenworth. The room was very nice, and the pricing in July was quite reasonable. Niklas, Lasca, and Kim at the front desk were all very personable and helpful. The pool is extra sweet, designed to look like rock, and complete with waterfall! Definitely worth the stay, and we’ll be back!

I own a yoga studio and we have decided to host a yoga retreat here. Yesterday one of my teachers and myself took a road trip to take some picures and get the lay out of the resort. I have been making arrangements with Michael and he met us at the check in desk and gave us the grand tour. We were so impressed with the facilities and can hardly wait till October.
Thank you everyone at the front desk and Michael for making us feel so welcome.
See you in October.
Namaste

My assumption of the resort has changed a bit. I’m not sure if it a little run down and in need of some TLC or if the season hasn’t started up yet and they are just behind on general maintenance.
The guest rooms could use some upgrades, especially for the price. A king size bed would be a better option and one without two major holes in it from all of the use. Everything in the guest room worked fine and it was a pleasant change to be without TV. The cell signal was pretty lacking but their WiFi has a strong signal throughout the resort. I would also hope they could update their very dusty white fan in the room, it was a displeasure to look at.
We happened to be here during construction on O’Gradys. That was by far the biggest disappointment I love their gift shop and coffee shop and was really looking forward to buying some gifts for friends.
The grounds are so peaceful, it is a quiet resort even though their were so many children running around. I didn’t hear a single baby cry the entire weekend!
The dinner is fine, if you are looking for something fairly casual, the food good and tasty. I think a little update in their restaurant my be overdo, but who am I to be spending their money!

Beautiful location but the loft room we stayed in was disappointingly small, the bathroom needs fixing up as the shower did not work properly and it’s certainly not up to the price standard. The food is ok but nothing special, meat is too salty and fish very dry. Only the hot tub was operational in the spa and the spa services are not great. The staff at the restaurant were wonderful with the kids particularly Hans but at the reception were not helpful could not even tell us which walks to take the kids. Not an amazing experience especially considering the costs.

Absolutely the best long weekend. Loved the Kingfisher Restraunt and a shout out to Hans who was awesome. He and so many others made the stay just perfect. Loved the hot tub and the little trails and the Grotto Pub was quaint.

This place is a great combination of elegant and down to earth. Property is tucked away in a quiet area just outside Leavenworth. Cabins have a rustic feel, but not too primitive. Organic garden that supplies the restaurant is great. Menu options are creative and well prepared. Pool/​grotto is a great touch, but watch out for kid overload in the summer. Sleeping lady is a great spot to get away and really relax. Staff is pleasant and hiking/​walking options are plentiful.

It’s hard to explain how frustrating my experience was with the Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort as my communication spans a full year. I recently had my wedding at this venue and from the moment we stepped onto the grounds of the resort we knew we wanted to have our wedding ceremony and reception at this location. Unfortunately, after that initial moment of wonderment my love for the venue was ruined by the staff’s inability to compromise or communicate as expected.
On several occasions, the front office staff could not complete a simple task and would hang up the phone or leave for the day before finishing my request. The group rate website option was a complete joke that rarely worked or had accurate information. Then in our initial walk through my now husband and I heard things promised to us that we were lady laughed at over later. I believe we were sold and taken advantage of by the Event Coordinator.
The chef is so high maintenance that he refuses to cook the food options that you have to choose from from their catering menu. So you are graciously offered a dinner in their high priced buffet but none of the things served are on the catering menu. I served food at my wedding that I had never even tasted or seen before. I found most of their food under-​seasoned spice wise or ridiculously salty. When we explained our dissatisfaction with our first tasting to the staff, they were so flabbergasted that someone would disapprove of their menu they offered a full refund and said we might want to rethink our wedding at the Sleeping Lady. Keep in mind this was five months before our wedding. People had already booked rooms and deposits had been paid. I would have had to find a different place and plan my wedding in four months. They also do not provide anything plated as it goes against the buffet style they push.
Then during my wedding the sound shorted on music during dinner and the day of Event Coordinator had no clue what she was doing. I worked with one person for over eight months, but she can’t be there on the day of and so handed my wedding off on to some under experienced junior.
In the end, we were bamboozled and will never return to this establishment. My wedding was awesome despite the staff at Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort.

I absolutely love the sleeping lady. The food in excellent and that rooms are comfy and cozy. They have a lot of amenities to take advantage of. OH and they have dog friendly rooms which is what we booked. It was cute when we arrived because they had little dog bowls and treats in the room for fido and a little rug for them to lay on.
This was my second time staying here which was for a beautiful winter wedding. I have never been in the chapel before but it was beautiful and a great space. I highly recommend the sleeping lady if you are looking for a really nice place to stay in leavenworth — it’s totally worth it. One of these days I am going to check out the spa but I will have to save that for next time!

I’ve stayed at Sleeping Lady three times now. The whole experience is fantastic.
Nestled one mile away from downtown Leavenworth amidst beautiful, picturesque mountains this rustic hotel continues to impress. Their service is top notch (stop by the lobby for free hot drinks and flavored popcorn when you get a chance), and the staff attentive and helpful. My cabin room included a loft with a spare bed. The décor and luxurious linens made it feel like a cozy retreat. The lovely grounds and amenities (including a full game room with ping-​pong, foosball, and pool) were nice, but by far the best part of my stay was found in the included breakfasts and dinners.
These lavish productions have never failed to exceed my expectations. Serving a menu that is inspired by the freshest ingredients (many grown on site), the Kingfisher restaurant puts out a feast for each meal. The dinners always include a fresh and delicious salad/​appetizer bar as well as around six mouth-​watering main course options served buffet style. To finish off what is always a delicious meal there are many dessert options. This past trip the Kingfisher served me the best steelhead trout I have ever tasted (the best fish I’ve ever had, really). The fish was cooked and seasoned to perfection, literally melting in your mouth. The best part? I could go back for seconds (and perhaps thirds)!
Breakfast is equally elaborate, with fresh scones, a cereal bar, and a huge assortment of hot items (waffles, a delicious berry compote, pancakes, eggs, hash browns, toast, oatmeal, sausage and beacon, and even more).
Overall, though this resort is a tad pricey, it is worth every penny. Save up if you have to, but invest in this wonderful experience.

Wow that was an awful meal! COLD buffet food at $ 42.00 a head??? The COLD food tasted «OK» but wow that was expensive COLD food! I ate it because I was quite hungry and it’s a good 20 minute drive into town to get a more respectable meal. I’ve had room service food better than this!
Our room is adequate, small but clean. It’s ADA compliant which is nice for me. Odd that the bathroom has no sink. There is a sink in the main room though.
This place is very spread out! And quite dark at night. It’s very easy to get lost around here after sunset! The paths between buildings are mostly dirt with random potholes. NOT very wheelchair compliant!
Major kudos to the Spa! They did an awesome job of helping me as a disabled person who wanted a massage! My massage therapist Gardenia was excellent!
I would happily revisit the Spa! No thanks on the rest…

BTW, I called the GM after receiving her note. I left a message saying I am looking forward to talking with her. Never heard back from her.

We stayed over night in a loft room in the fountain section.
We frequently travel and i will have to admit — I did not have a good experience at this hotel nor did I feel very relaxed.
We booked two loft rooms & requested that the two loft rooms were as close to each other as possible. I called twice to make sure this would happened and was assured it wouldn’t be a problem.
After a long day of traveling, my two year old was hot. Exhausted as we all were.
1) We could not check into our room until 3 aclock on the dot. We were all waiting in the small receiving area to get away from the hot sun. 3 aclock check in is soo late. Most hotels will say 2 aclock check in as a worst case scenerio. Not this place. Maybe hire some more maids.
2) you have to park your car– walk up and get a wheel barrow, walk back to your car. Load it up and wheel barrow it back to your room. This resort is HUGE. The map doesn’t do this place justice. Wear comfortable shoes !! You will be walking from one side of the resort to another… to another. To another to accomplish one small task.
3) loft rooms were not together at all. Matter of fact couldn’t have been farther apart. Thanks hotel management for doing the exact opposite of what you said.
4) we got in late and were hungry. There is nothing to eat. No room service. No pizza deliveries … Nothing. However there are some small bags of chips in the lobby for 20 $ a piece. (Joking but everything is over priced). If you are not going to offer room service even when it’s still day light and no pizza deliveries or ways to get food– maybe you should re consider how guests will eat in the afternoon if they get hungry.
5) the hot tub is HOT which is nice– but there’s nowhere to sit down inside the hot tub to relax!!! There’s just a bunch of people standing around staring at each other. Talk about awkward!
6) my brother was in the hot tub and said some hikers from above (must be a trail on top of the hill) were yelling obscenities at him. Seriously? Sheesh
7) food at ogradys is good (pizza is amazing) however incredibly slow and way over priced. We waited 25 min for a slice of pizza for my son. Good grief.
8) loft room were nice but beware of the ladder. It’s steep and not good for small children or older adults. It’s a hazard for them matter of fact.
9) no fridge microwave in room. I’m ok with the no tv– but really??! So inconvenient of multiple levels.
10) nothing is close together at all. We wanted to grab a coffee then go to the pool. It took 25 min and I’m not even over exaggerating. Our room to the lobby– to the car way out in the parking lot to get sandles– hike back to the pool.
We are hikers– back packers and enjoy leave and trails. But when your paying a couple hundred bucks a night to relax this is not what you expect.
No thanks sleeping lady. We will always pick sun mountain lodge as our #1 so far. We wanted to love you but we just didn’t.
Might be better if you don’t travel with kids. Way to inconvenient place for families with small children.

Absolutely lovely grounds, on an old Civilian Conservation Corps campsite. It’s kept a lot of the flavor of a summer camp, but for adults. There are paths through the woods, hot and warm saltwater pools that look like they’re made in natural rock (it’s faux, but the effect is still really nice), and a nice bar with great local booze selection. The bar manager (Meghan?) is super awesome, fun to talk to, and quite talented with a shaker.
The prices seem a little bit high for what you get, though, because the rooms are not well-​insulated for sound. I was in one of the buildings that has only two rooms in it, which seems like it would be really relaxing and private (and mostly was) but we could hear our neighbor’s dog whining when they went out one morning, and whenever they turned on their water for a shower or flushed the toilet, you could hear the pipes scream. Like, literally, it was a loud screech.
The construction of the buildings, while lovely and with a strong «premium» feel was actually surprisingly low quality! The doorframe wasn’t attached to the wall, so the privacy lock didn’t work — the door could be opened and the frame would just come with it!
The bathroom window was also not well-​seated in its frame, so when you tried to rotate the little handle to open or close the window, it would just shake loose. We ended up not opening the window in the bathroom ever because of this, which made the bathroom a bit damp/​dank smelling immediately — the ventilation wasn’t very good.
The food at Kingfisher was quite lovely, and consistently high-​quality. I really loved their stewed figs, the mushroom barley side dish that came with local fish one day, and the salad bar which came with a variety of sprouts, still in the tray, that you could snip off with the scissors that were also at the bar.
Service was consistently good, even excessively so. There were a few times we were confused by how insistent on good service the servers were… Like the time they brought an extra coffee cup because we wanted cream, and thought they over-​poured and didn’t leave enough room for cream. The extra cup, which we refused, was brought over so we could get the exact amount of cream we wanted… cute, but excessive.
The organic garden was neat, there were even sections of it that were temporarily closed to foot traffic due to nesting birds. You could stand there and watch the birds care for their babies! Ok, so I didn’t see baby birds, just the adults poking around and walking back and forth, but still… So cute.

This review applies to their BABYMOON PACKAGE.
You can read my full review with images here:
We visited Sleeping Lady this past weekend as our «babymoon» for our 2^nd child. I wanted a weekend getaway with the hubs to relax & reconnect before our next baby.
We stayed in an Alcove room, which was comfortable and well appointed. The room was very clean, the standards for what we’d need for an overnight stay were provided (an abundance of towels, shampoo/​cond/​body wash, coffee maker with teas, luxurious robes). The rooms even have towel/​robe warmers. Every product they use has been chosen with sustainability in mind.
We had dinner and breakfast at KingFisher, which is by far the best 2 meals I have EVER had. It is buffet style, but again everything is hand picked to be of the highest quality. All locally sourced, most of everything is organic, and not your typical fare. For dinner we had halibut and beef loin. Their salad bar is delicious, again nothing ordinary. The dressings were house made, tons of delicious marinated veggies and other toppings. A fig salad was available — who does that? So good!
I also had the Earth Mother Pregnancy Massage at their onsite spa. Again, also very good. They used essential oils that are safe for pregnancy and listened carefully to what I was looking for and what my comfort level was with how I can lay.
