Suite, 1 Bedroom, River View (Lodge)

As the name suggests, this Lodge suite has windows framing the Cle Elum River valley. Because it is in The Lodge, you are also close to the "1,000 Steps" route behind the main lodge, which links the Lodge down to the Cle Elum River.

The bedroom has 1 king bed and the living area has 1 double sofa bed, so the suite sleeps up to 4 guests. It works well for two couples or a family, and a playpen is available for little ones. Suncadia is a family-friendly resort where children under 17 stay free in the same room with a parent or adult.

The suite measures 870 sq. ft. and is laid out as a separate bedroom, a living area with the sofa bed, a full kitchen and a private bathroom. The bedroom has blackout drapes and premium, hypo-allergenic bedding, and the suite is climate-controlled with both air conditioning and heating.

The private bathroom has a deep soaking bathtub and a separate shower. It comes with bathrobes, designer toiletries including shampoo, towels and a hair dryer. Turndown service is also part of the stay.

Yes. The kitchen has a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, oven, stovetop, microwave and dishwasher, along with cookware, dishware, utensils and paper towels, so you can cook your own meals. If you would rather not cook, there is meal delivery service and room service during limited hours. The suite also has a 27-inch LCD TV with premium channels and pay movies, and free Wi-Fi.

A nightly resort fee of around 16 percent of the room rate applies. It covers concierge service, fitness center and pool access, in-room bottled water and coffee, the resort shuttle and sporting facilities and equipment. Self-parking is included, and valet parking is available for an additional fee. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

Lodge guests can use the Lodge Pool, a heated pool with a hot tub that is open year-round. Guests who book directly with Suncadia and stay in the Lodge can also use the Swim & Fitness Center. A valid resort wristband is required, and you complete a facility waiver at the Swim & Fitness Center check-in desk before swimming.

Within The Lodge you will find The Source Plates & Pours, serving Pacific Northwest-inspired cuisine, and Fifty-6 Degrees Lounge for local wines, microbrews and seasonal cocktails. Glade Spring Spa & Wellness sits adjacent to The Lodge. Hours vary by day and season, so check them when you plan your evenings.

Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, with a late check-out fee if you stay beyond that. Bring a photo ID and credit card. The resort is at 3600 Suncadia Trail, Cle Elum, about 88 miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, roughly a 90-minute drive depending on traffic and mountain pass conditions. A rental car is recommended, and an intra-resort shuttle is available once you arrive.
