The story
- Basement
Escape to the Cascades with this iconic short-term rental log cabin retreat, combining mountain character with proven performance—grossing approximately $84,000 annually. Set on 0.79 acres near the Chiwawa River and close to Stevens Pass, this 3,362 sq ft home includes a rare transferable 10-person STR permit—an increasingly limited asset in Leavenworth where new permits are restricted. Leavenworth’s year-round draw fuels strong occupancy, with visitors coming for hiking, rafting, and riverfront walks in summer, and skiing, sleigh rides, and snow-covered village charm in winter . The Bavarian-style downtown, wineries, and festivals—from Oktoberfest to the famed Christmas lighting events—bring consistent tourism and repeat guests . Inside, the home features a dramatic two-story stone fireplace, open kitchen and gathering spaces, plus flexible sleeping with bunk rooms and additional accommodations. Recent updates—new flooring, roof, and septic—support long-term durability. Expansive outdoor space and a private sauna complete the experience, making this a turnkey retreat with income strength in one of Washington’s most visited alpine destinations.
