Deep Water Cabin

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Deepwater Cabin is a solid timber framed structure built into the mountain side on the edge of the National Forest in a true, remote wilderness area. It is one of the very last waterfront dwellings up-lake, to the Northwest, that is still accessible by car. The cabin's grass- and fern-covered sod roof blends into the vegetation of its perch on a rocky point surrounded by sparkling blue Lake Chelan waters.

The location on a point gives expansive views up, down, and across the lake. Deepwater is half an hours’ drive from Chelan, far from any town lights, so one can see countless brilliant stars on a typical clear night. Watch shooting stars under the Milky Way out on the patio. In the day you will watch flocks of swallows swoop through the air catching insects, and osprey flying by, patrolling the shore for fish.

To access the lake, a trail switches back through rocky terraces down to a solid, newly built stairway and dock. At the clear, deep waters edge, swimmers can launch into the refreshing blue depths.

Boaters will have access to explore miles and miles of wilderness shoreline with a kayak, canoe or paddle board. Be aware that the lake access at Deepwater is very steep, so launching may be easier at the nearby 25 Mile State Park, a short paddle to the South.

Inside, the cabin is classic and cozy, with big sunny windows and two double patio doors. The two wings provide a sleeping space and a living/dining area, with the bath and kitchen in between. The bathroom has a new washing machine and a shower with plenty of pressure; pure water pumped straight from Lake Chelan! There is a drying rack for your wet laundry, which solar drys quickly on a typical sunny blue sky day.

The compact kitchen offers all major appliances offering all you need for great foodie meals, and the sunny, open patio is wonderful for reading, having meals and enjoying time together and an amazing place to relax. A small gas grill awaits your steaks or the beautiful trout the fisher-persons in the party may bring up from the lake, where the big fish swim by the dock.

A very comfortable queen-size log bed will accommodate two, while the living/dining area features a brand new fold-out full-size sofabed and an older long sofa for lounging and sleeping, accommodating one or two extra persons. The cabin is most appropriate for a couple or small family, it can sleep up to four. It's best to bring your own sleeping bags for any more than two, since the linens provided are for the queen bed only.

The historic, scenic South Lake Shore Trail built in the 40s by the CCC parallels the lake shore and begins just a short walk away. Larger boats can be launched at Twenty-Five Mile Creek State Park, which is less than a mile from the cabin. Miles of Forest Service logging roads meander the hills just behind the property, providing access to National Forest lands for mountain bikers to explore the unparalleled wilderness beauty above the lake.

The town of Chelan has good restaurants, fun shops, a great health food store, and plenty of local wine tasting. The region has many wineries and vineyards, so you may want to take a day to sample the local fare.

One day of your visit can be spent on the Lady of The Lake, the local ferry, going up-lake to the remote community of Stehekin, which has a great bakery and access to amazing hikes in the North Cascades National Park. Another day trip nearby could be to Holden Village, a Lutheran Camp 12 miles up into the mountains, which also can be reached on The Lady of the Lake ferry. This is a playful, festive intentional community which is open to guests and provides meals and full accommodations in a village that was once a thriving copper mine.

Deep Water Cabin is an ideal setting to explore and play in the water and mountains, relax and refresh, and soak in the bright sunny skies and the vast deep blue beauty of the lake. Come enjoy a getaway in gorgeous Lake Chelan!

This place was perfect for our family of four. We really liked being on the lake and being away from the busy-ness of chelan. It was quiet and peaceful. I love to open water swim, so being away from the busier boat traffic was great. Very good for sup too. The house was lovely, had all the amenities we needed, and stayed relatively cool in the heat. Loved watching the sun rise and set across the lake. Also, with the front of the house north facing and the big tree in the yard, the front was always in the shade. The views and the private dock were the highlights for our teens. We definitely hope to return. First trip to chelan for all four of us

Don’t rent with this grouo
Cabin looked lovely but we never got the chance to experience it. Weeks after we reserved a huge fire started in the area. It’s now July and it’s expected to burn through October. One of our party can not handle smoke. We asked to reschedule but we were refused. We found communications difficult and once we did connect, the company was inflexible and uncaring. Will never rent with this group again.

Relaxing Getaway
Great location, right on the lake, although a bit of a challenging walk down to the dock. We were shocked to find the dock 8 ft above the water! We fully understand why now, but it would have been good to know up front. Fshing was challenging at best fro the dock. I did launch my kayak down the road and had some solid rainbow trout fishing. We will be back.

Great view better dock.
Property is great. The weather was a bit smokey but that didn't stop the fish from biting. Fished all day and relaxed in the evening with a great view. Property is tight for a 18ft fishing boat. Plan on unhooking the boat and muscling it 180 degrees and rehooking to the truck.

Listing says boat parking, there’s not
Listing says boat parking, theres a vehicle with a tarp in the “boat parking” so we has to back our boat down a steep, curvy 80 yard driveway to get it down.. and in order to turn around we has to drive all over the neighbors property. 106 degree weather and no AC

5 Nights at Lake Chelan
This is a wonderful place to feel like you are in the wilderness yet a close 35 min drive from civilization. Very peaceful and quiet toward the NW end of the lake away from the crowds in the SE near the village of Chelan. No car noise and often wouldn't see or hear a boat for several hours. Stunning 180 degree view of the crystal clear blue lake and mountains. Lots of birds to watch. Cabin has a rustic charm, but has modern conveniences and is will appointed.

WONDERFUL, very private and relaxing cabin!
While a little bit hard to find at the point of contact, it was WELL worth it when we got there! What a secluded, lovely little gem! It was the most quiet, peaceful and relaxing place we have ever been and highly recommend it! Just the cutest little place with everything you need to have a relaxing vacation! Reminder that it is a good 35 min back to Chelan, so we recommend taking what all you need and just planting yourself there for the duration! Can't wait to come back!

Birthday celebration.
The paved road ended at a forest service residence. We had to turn off of the paved road onto a gravel and dirt road with a different name than what was listed on the directions, it was very confusing. We spoke to a neighbor near the cabin who explained that the addresses had changed recently, so that explained the situation. I texted the contact I had through the booking prior to our departure and specifically asked about the paved road, as we were traveling by motorcycle, and they assured me that the road was paved to the cabin. After the initial confusion we got settled in and had a wonderful time. The cleanliness was not what we expected but made due, as we understand, the remoteness may cause difficulties. Overall we would recommend this cabin to others who are looking for beautiful view and the remote experience.

Perfect Getaway
Highly recommended for those who want to take a break from the city and experience the 70s life (no cell and TV). This cabin is in a very quiet and secluded part of Lake Chelan. Just 25 minutes from Chelan, WA where you can get your supply from Walmart Supercenter or Safeway. It has a fully functional kitchen; all you need to bring is your grocery. Bathroom is nice and clean and has towels provided for. You can fish, swim and kayak in the lake below the cabin.

Amazing Location, Cute Cabin
Loved the time away--much needed! The cabin was unique and on bluff above water--beautiful view of the lake! Bring binoculars! The location provided isolation and privacy. Probably not a great place for kids due to drop off to lake and challenging path down to swim dock. Disappointed in cleanliness of cabin and property--something to take more seriously during this Covid Year. Did have my own disinfectant wipes which I had to use on kitchen immediately. If you are a 'real' cook, which my husband is, consider bringing your favorite pans/utensils. Although kitchen is well-stocked, things are of poor quality and old. The cupboard is a little creepy as lots of leftover dry goods from previous guests. All said, we had a very restful 4 nights there!

We had a wonderful time at this quaint little cabin. It was clean and simple. The dock is a great place to hang out. We fished down there and caught over 10 fish, mainly lake trout using hot dogs. Yes... hot dogs. The location is very private and quite. We loved this place.

Beware of neighborhood dogs
Amazing view of the lake. Very nice and peaceful location. Access to the lake is very tough and was not possible for my kids which was disappointing. Lake level was also lower than expected so we were not able to swim or paddle board. The description could probably do a better job of warning of these two issues. Also, our car was attacked by two big dogs as we drove into the neighborhood. They were off leash and ran into the gravel road. Have no idea what would have happened if we weren’t in the car. Needless to say we didn’t feel comfortable walking/biking from the cabin as you have to pass that house and the dogs were never tied up. All in all a good stay but with some fairly big disappointments.

Thoughtfully designed cabin
Someone spent an inordinate amount of effort, both physical and mental creating an incredibly pleasing and enjoyable place to while away the hours. The cabin, backs into the hill, complete with a sod roof, so as not to cause commotion with the pristine site. Swear, you can't hear any traffic noise, except perhaps the patter of a chipmunk. At night, a dark sky with pads provided for lying on the patio and contemplating the cosmos. The kitchen is fine for pretty much anything you might want to invent and I cook! A small, but thoughtful library, good binoculars, nice walking stick, fishing rod, great neighbors to visit with, wow this place is a total find. If you follow Rick Steve's "Off the Beaten Path" philosophy and can make your own happy music you will be dancing a jig here.

The place is overall nice but more like glamping...
Cons: With the weather nearing 100, it would have been nice if the home had screens on all the windows. Especially because of all the bees outside and no AC inside. FYI, the website says the key pad is above the electric meter. There is one there but it doesn't open to give you the key (panic moment since you are 20 minutes away from any cell coverage!). Fortunately I saw there was a second key pad by the front door. The pros : comfortable bed, lots of towels, fully stocked kitchen and a beautiful view!

Peaceful, secluded, perfection
We came here for our 2 year anniversary to get away from the city and our busy hectic work lives. This was our first vacation with each other and let me just say it was PERFRCT. When we pulled up our jaws dropped to the ground at how astounding the view was from the cabin. There was a patio off to the right side with chairs and a table which is where we enjoyed every single one of our meals during our 2 day stay. The cabin was fully stocked with all the kitchen utensils, pots, pans and electric appliances that we needed for cooking. The mattes was super comfy and I guarantee you we slept like babies both nights. Speaking of nights, because we were so far off from any city lights the views of the stars were astonishing! We laid out on the patio chairs our last night and saw a ton of shooting stars!! It is a little bit of a hike to get down to the lake dock but I was very impressed with the way the structured the rocks so that it made steps, very creative!! The bathroom is a great size but had a few issues. The shower door leaked pretty severely and the washing machine was broken which was disappointing. We also had an issues with some pests in the cabin but nothing a shoe or some bug killer couldn’t fix. Overall we are SOOOO happy with this cabin and couldn’t have found a better place to spend our anniversary weekend in! We will definitely be back! Thank you Vacasa for this amazing location!! 😍
