Leavenworth Hygge and a Blue Alpine Lake
Adventure in Leavenworth, Central Washington, WA, US
The sweet smell of pine welcomed us into the Midcentury Mountain Cabin. We kicked off our shoes and slipped on the cozy, complementary slippers before settling in. After asking Alexa to play the mountain cabin playlist, we wrapped up in a blanket, flipped on the fireplace, and went full hygge.
The next morning, our alarms went off at a way-too-early 5:30 a.m. The plan? Hike Colchuck Lake. It was a gorgeous fall day, and the trek up to the blue-Gatorade alpine lake was well worth the stunning views at the top. After a sandwich, we hit the trail once again. Leavenworth's beers and pretzels were calling our names!
Rhein Haus treated us well, and with full bellies and happy hearts, we made our way home for another cozy evening in. We slept like babies that night in the cushy queen-size beds. The adorable outdoor fireplace beckoned, but a burn ban meant we'd have to return to light it one day.
It was a magical few days full of adventure, relaxation, and a whole lot of good vibes!...
