Without a doubt one of the best places to stay in Washington, Sun Mountain Lodge has an incomparable natural setting, perched like an eagle's nest high above the Methow Valley, and its assorted cabins provide luxury without pretension. The 360-degree views from its highly lauded restaurant are awe-inspiring, and people travel from miles around just to enjoy breakfast here.
The outdoor attractions based around the lodge's extensive network of lakes and trails could keep a hyperactive hiker, cyclist or skier occupied for weeks. If you have just one plush stay in the Washington wilderness east of Seattle, this should be the place; prices drop a bit from Sunday to Thursday nights.
