Stevens Pass Lodging- Where To Stay While You Ride

There are plenty of Stevens Pass Lodging options and whilst there is no on-mountain options, there are plenty to choose from in nearby Leavenworth to the East and along Stevens Pass highway to the West.

The Stevens Pass mountain resort is located in Washington State, USA just east of Seattle.

On-Mountain Lodging

There is no lodging right at the base itself. The nearest accommodation you will find is 16 miles (26km) West along the Stevens Pass Highway – in Skyomish.

To the East

Leavenworth is the closest town to the east of the ski resort and is a 40 minute drive east. This is where you will find the largest concentration of accommodation close to Stevens Pass. There are a large number of accommodation options here.

Though the permanent residents of the town only make up around 2,000 people it is likely to be a great deal more at any one time, especially during the snowboarding season.

Head further east and you’ll get to the city of Wenatchee, which is a 1 hour 15 minute drive away. Though a bit further out this is also a great option for lodging with heaps of options.

If you stay in Wenatchee you are only 25 minutes drive from the Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort too. So if you stay in Wenatchee you can ride both these mountains for some variety. This is also possible from Leavenworth which is 55 minutes from Mission Ridge.

To the West

The closest town to Stevens Pass is Skyomish, which is a 20 minute drive to the West. There are a few places to stay here and this is the closest option if you want to minimize your drive to the mountain. This is smaller and there will be less options than Leavenworth. The population is just 200 permanent residents.

The next town to the west is Gold Bar, which is a 45 minute drive from Stevens Pass. However, there is accommodation dotted all along the Stevens pass highway between Stevens and Seattle.

And finally, Seattle itself is also an option, albeit one with a fairly long commute. Seattle is a 1 hr 45 minutes drive without traffic but allow 2 to 2.5 hours for traffic and wintery conditions. You can cut this time down if you are strategic about when you leave and return.

The advantage of staying in Seattle is that you could check out Crystal Mountain & potentially Mt Baker too.

How to Book

Check out the links above to find a range of options to the east and west of the ski area.

Or you can see what places are available through booking.com or hotels.com. The biggest advantage of going through these sights as opposed to directly through the lodging’s website is that you get all the unbiased reviews of those who stayed there before you.

I go as much off those reviews as I do on price and location.

The other advantage of going through one of these booking sites is that you often find they have discounts. Check out these two sites by clicking the relevant image below.

The places in the smaller towns are more specialized and probably require that you book with them directly and you can find the information for that in the links in the sections above.

For any town/city locations such as Leavenworth, Wenatchee and Seattle I would go with one of the booking sites below.
