Why Leavenworth
Mountains, river, and a fire to sit by.
Leavenworth sits where Icicle Creek meets the Wenatchee River, on the dry side of the Cascades. Summers are sunny and winters bring real snow.
The setting makes good use of every hour. Trails start at the edge of town, the river is right there for rafting, and evenings end around a fire.
Sleeping Lady was built for retreats, with rooms tucked into the pines along Icicle Creek. Up the valley, Mountain Springs Lodge offers whole lodges and horse-drawn sleigh rides in winter.
We bring teams to Leavenworth when they want mountains, fresh air and a little adventure, a short drive from Seattle.

Questions
Planning a retreat in Leavenworth.
How far is Leavenworth from Seattle?
About 2 hours 15 minutes by car over Stevens Pass on US 2. Winter driving can take longer, so we plan transfers with chains and buffer time. Wenatchee's airport is about 35 minutes away.
When is the best time for a retreat in Leavenworth?
June through October is dry and sunny, with rafting in early summer and fall color in October. December brings snow and the village lights, which is lovely but busy.

Sleeping Lady has 69 rooms and suites and is built for meetings. Icicle Village hosts up to 150, and Mountain Springs Lodge and Posthotel suit smaller teams.
What can a team do in Leavenworth?
Hike the Icicle Valley, raft the Wenatchee River, ride horses or take a sleigh ride at Mountain Springs, and taste the orchards and wineries of the valley.
Who plans and runs the retreat?
The Renewal Office designs it around your goals using the TRO Six Pillars, then handles venue, programming, facilitators and production from the first call to the week after.
