A Cozy Winter Cabin in Plain, Washington

 

An Unplugged, Private Retreat Near Leavenworth

Winter in Plain, Washington has a way of slowing everything down. Snow settles into the trees, mornings arrive quietly, and the cabin becomes a place to land rather than a place to rush through. Set on acreage between Plain and Lake Wenatchee, the cabin feels tucked away and private. While there are neighbors nearby, none are visible from the windows, giving guests a sense of space and calm without feeling remote or difficult to reach.

The living room is a warm gathering place in winter, with the wood stove glowing and space to settle in.

Inside, the cabin is warm and comfortable, designed for winter days spent indoors just as much as time outside. The living space centers around the wood stove, where guests often gather with a book, a cup of coffee, or a guitar pulled down for an impromptu moment of music. Original artwork and collected pieces line the walls, giving the space a personal, lived-in feeling rather than something styled for a listing.

The kitchen and dining area are set up for real use — slow breakfasts, simple dinners, and the comfort of cooking while snow falls outside. Open shelves, handmade details, and practical touches make the space feel easy and welcoming. Guests often mention how quickly the cabin feels like their own.

One of the things people love most about staying here is the chance to truly unplug. There’s no oversized TV competing for attention. Instead, the cabin offers shelves filled with books for both kids and adults, along with a well-used collection of games that invite connection and laughter, especially on long winter evenings.

A well-loved collection of books and games encourages guests to slow down and unplug.

The bedrooms are simple, comfortable, and designed for rest. Soft light, thoughtful details, and views of snow-covered trees make them quiet places to retreat at the end of the day. For families, the kids’ room adds a playful note — a space that feels cozy and welcoming rather than overly precious.

Outside, winter feels especially peaceful. One of the highlights of the property is the outdoor electric barrel sauna, tucked among the trees. After a cold day, stepping into the warmth of the sauna is grounding and restorative — a favorite ritual for many guests.

The outdoor barrel sauna is a guest favorite, especially on snowy winter evenings.

The area is well known for cross-country skiing, with groomed trails and several nearby parks offering options depending on snow conditions. Before heading out, guests often check Plain Ski for the latest grooming reports and trail updates.

Winter is a beautiful time to slow down and stay a little longer. For a limited time, we’re offering a Book Two Nights, Get Your Third Night Free special (does not include holiday weekends) — an invitation to settle in, unplug, and fully experience the quiet rhythm of winter in Plain.

If you’re looking for a private winter cabin near Leavenworth that feels personal, comfortable, and genuinely calm, we’d love to welcome you.

 Happy New Year and Cool Wishes for 2026 ❄️

Winter is here, and after a very intense December of rainstorms that truly impacted our area, we’re happy (and relieved!) to share that Highway 2 is now open and you can visit. The stretch from Coles Corner to Leavenworth remains closed, but the scenic detour takes you along the Chumstick Highway through our sweet town of Plain—a beautiful winter drive and an easy way in.

Leavenworth’s holiday lights are glowing through mid-February, and this is hands-down our favorite time of year here. The snow is fresh, the crowds are smaller, and everything feels calm and cozy again. Our local businesses and community really rely on winter tourism, and every visit truly makes a difference 🤍

There’s lots to do once you arrive. Kahler Glen Golf Course is a favorite spot for sledding and snowy fun. If you love Nordic skiing, there are miles of groomed cross-country trails nearby—check SKIplain for the latest groomer reports before heading out. The Leavenworth Ski Hill is perfect for tubing, skiing, and that classic small-town ski vibe, and Stevens Pass is open and ready for bigger mountain days.

After a tough start to winter, it feels so good to welcome guests back. If you’ve been dreaming of snowy walks, cozy evenings, and supporting a mountain community that could really use some love, we’d be thrilled to have you stay with us.
