Lakedale Lodge

Lakedale Lodge Whether you’re planning a fun-filled summer of swimming, boating, and fishing on Lake Cle Elum or a winter of snowshoeing, skiing, and curling up by the fire, this vintage lodge in Ronald is the comfortable home base you’re looking for. You’ll spend summer days grilling outside on the deck in the fragrant forest air and winter evenings watching movies with your loved ones as the snow piles up outside. Built in 1977 and full of its original character, the lodge offers several thoughtful updates and features to keep you comfortable in every season. Step inside, set your boots on the rack to dry, and be greeted by wood paneling throughout, two-story ceilings, and a wall of windows that frame the forested neighborhood. The living room, dining room, and kitchen all come together in this open main level, so you can easily spend time with your companions whether you’re cooking, sharing a meal, or watching movies on the wall-mounted smart TV (with a DVD player and DVDs) with the gas fireplace heating the entire lodge. The owners love to cook, so the kitchen is outfitted with every essential appliance, tool, and utensil, including a stainless steel French door refrigerator, a gas range, and K-cup, French press, and traditional coffee makers. You can prepare meals indoors with music playing on the Bose speaker or step outside onto the back deck to get the Weber gas grill going. There’s ample space to dine in the light-filled dining area and outside on the deck. At night, as the day’s clothes and swimsuits refresh themselves in the private washer/dryer, you’ll have your choice of one bedroom downstairs and a cozy upstairs loft. The lodge sits in a woodland community of both part-time and year-round residents, on the only road in the neighborhood with year-round car access. You’ll be able to walk to Speelyi Beach Park on the southeast shores of Lake Cle Elum (half a mile southwest), where you can swim, boat, and fish for rainbow trout, lake trout, and kokanee. Cascade Playtime Rentals (just under two miles northwest) can even connect you to boats, canoes, and snowmobiles to enhance your stay. When it’s time to relax, Swiftwater Cellars (eight miles southeast) offers local wines for guests to try seven days a week, along with cocktails and dining.
