This place is a treasure. Everything about it is infused with love. The attention to sustainability and guest comfort, the rock pool hot tub, the beautiful chihuly glass, the incredible food with options for vegetarians and vegans, the beautiful setting, the nearby hiking and skiing all add up to an incredible place for a vacation.

We stayed 2 nights in one of the dog friendly rooms. It's quite pricy, but we thought that meant it would be really comfortable and the service would be premium. Unfortunately the furnishings are pretty average - decent, but not premium. When people say "rustic" they mean bare wood floors, dirt brown comforters, no amenities in the room except a towel warmer. Missing all the little extras you would expect at nearly $379.000 a night. No soap near the sink - had to use the soap dispenser in the shower if you want to wash you hands. Only 3 set of towels although we were paying for 4 people and a dog.

We were determined to have fun, so we just shrugged off the above.

I had to laugh when we went to dinner at our preassigned time (no you can't go whenever you want, you go when they tell you). When we walked in, the hostess gestured to the nearly empty main room, and said "Since we are so full, I can seat you at one of these two tables here (pointing to the two immediately behind the hostess station, where cold air would blast you every time someone walked in) or the one over by the salad bar. Umm, since I see only 4 occupied tables, and we showed up exactly when they told us we were supposed to, I really have no idea how she thought the place was full. And there were empty tables around us the entire time we were there.....both nights...breakfast and dinner. That being said, the main courses were good, the salad bar excellent, the desserts fair, except for the chocolate cake which was hard and stale.

Next morning, three of us got showers since there were only three towels. After breakfast, we packed up our kids, our sled and put on our snow clothes, including the dog.and headed down to ice festival. We were gone all day, had lunch in town, hiked, sledded, had snowball fights, etc. Headed back to our room in late afternoon wanting a hot shower...and found our room hadn't been cleaned. There was a sticky note on the door saying that cleaning hours were over and since we had a Do Not Disturb sign it was too late we would have to do without. WTH??? We had not put a Do Not Disturb sign out and we most definitely DID want the room cleaned. Called the desk and she said they couldn't clean the room because there was a dog loose in it. Well OUR dog was with us all day. She acted like she didn't believe us, whatever, can we get some clean towels? She said she would have someone bring them. A half hour later she called back and said that the room next door had a loose dog, so their room didn't get cleaned. No explanation as to why our room didn't get cleaned. So.....two hours later and still no towels. I called again and got someone else who had no idea what I was talking about. They said they'd bring some right over. 30 minutes later,,, no towels. We finally gave up and headed out the door to go back to Leavenworth. When we got back two hours later, finally there were towels! Ratty edged, scruffy looking towels, but at least they were clean. They never made any apology for not cleaning our room, or for making us wait for something like 6 hours to get clean towels. Even if this were a $99.00 a night place, I would expect more responsive service and at 4 times the price, it's ridiculous.

My husband and I stayed at Sleeping Lady just this past weekend for a cross-country ski getaway with another couple. They stayed in a dog-friendly cabin and we stayed in a Loft room. We really enjoyed the room and the beds were super comfy. The loft rooms sleep 5 in a small space, and are very nice and clean - just a little cramped in terms of walking areas. They could also use an extra chair or a little table to play games at. No worries though because the game room at the facility had large tables as well as billiards, foosball, etc. The Grotto bar on site was very nice with a great bartender - perfect for watching a football game with friends. My favorite part was the restaurant though. With the basic rate, breakfast and dinner are included and they are delicious. Far better than anything else in town (we've tried many places in Leavenworth) and both meals are jam packed with tons of options made from local/organic ingredients. I am a gluten free eater and I found this place to be a real treat! They had tons of options for me, which was such a pleasant surprise. Plus, my husband really loved all the hearty portions of options for things he likes. Trust me - I am a food and wine snob and this was a great place to eat! All around, best place to stay and eat in town! I loved that Sleeping Lady had everything we wanted within walking distance. From cross-country skiing to fun games with friends to delicious meals and great drinks, we were thrilled with this place!

We chose Sleeping Lady to spend Christmas Eve and Day with our family away from the hustle bustle of the city. The rustic quality of the rooms, the extra rooms available including the library, sauna, and grotto, and the brisk walk to the dining room were all part of the adventure we had in mind. This is not a luxurious, plush resort which pampers its guests. It is a eco-friendly, artistically designed experience which we found quite satisfying. The proximity of the cross country ski trails (just across the parking lot) and the wonderful walking trails around the property provided us with instant recreation and exercise. We love not having a TV in the room and we loved the games which could be checked out at the registration lodge and and the big cushy chairs in the library where we could spread out and relax in front of the fire. The food was fabulous and we loved the buffet style of serving. We would love to do it again next Christmas!
