Squirrel Tree Resort

This was not a place that will get my business again. The room is an afterthought. There is no dedicated check in or out location, you have to go into the restaurant for both. I had a 70.00 charge on my bank account the day after with absolutely no explanation, no receipt and no contact. There is no parking lines so everyone else is crammed into the parking area. This room also was supposed to be pet friendly but it really comes down to you can have a pet but we will be charging you extra (those $70 fees im guessing since there was no other possible reason)if your pet moves inside the room. This is a firm no for me and my family going forward and I have already let all my friends who were thinking about it know that this should not be a part of their plans to visit Leavenworth.

Squirrel Tree Inn is located about 15 miles (25-ish minutes) west of Leavenworth, which makes it a nice, quiet location, with a beautiful drive to and from. We had our small dogs with us, and it was a great location for them, as the rooms open up directly to the outdoors. The room was quite nice - definitely upgraded within the past few years. No carpet, which probably makes cleaning much easier, but our room on the ground floor made the floor a bit cold - so bring fuzzy socks or slippers in the winter! There was a digital heater with a remote. Very nice! The TV was a little small for the wall it was on, but big enough, with plenty of DISH channels. View of the snow-covered woods was so peaceful. The owner was really nice! We had booked a single queen for our stay, but since it was upstairs, the owner was worried about my mom going up and down the outdoor stairs - there was one guest who hadn't checked in yet - and he asked if she would be willing to switch with us, and thankfully, she was! It made our stay much better. The staff at the bar/restaurant next door were friendly - they clearly have a local family of customers! Pros: upgraded rooms, silky sheets, warm covers, family atmosphere, quiet, local coffee for the coffee maker (delicious! I bought a bag), great food Cons: no microwave, cold floor, no hand-soap in the bathroom, shower drain needs snaking, low water pressure Overall, even with the drive every day into town, I'd definitely stay there again!
