How far is Suncadia from Seattle?
About 85 miles, or roughly 90 minutes east over Snoqualmie Pass on I-90. Both homes sit inside Suncadia’s mountain resort community near Cle Elum and border the Cle Elum River’s protected habitat conservation areas.
How many people can stay?
Each home sleeps up to 18 guests. Traveling with a larger group? Email us about booking both homes for the same dates.
Can we host an event?
No. Hosting events, such as weddings, isn’t allowed at either home. They’re set up for groups staying together, not for hosting events.
Are pets allowed?
Sunset Lodge welcomes up to 2 pets with a pet fee. The Lookout is pet-free due to family allergies, and bringing a pet there incurs a $500 fee.
Is there a minimum age to book?
Yes. The primary guest must be 28 or older and stay at the home.
Is smoking allowed?
No. Smoking, including vaping and e-cigarettes, isn’t allowed at either home.
Do we get access to Suncadia’s pools and fitness center?
No. The Swim & Fitness Center and the Nelson Farm pool aren’t available to guests due to Suncadia policies beyond our control. Suncadia has many activities open to the public, including Nelson Farm, hiking and biking trails, the pump track, parks and playgrounds, golf courses, winter skating and tubing, cross-country skiing, Swiftwater Cellars winery and more.
Are there quiet hours?
Yes. Suncadia enforces quiet hours from 10 PM to 8 AM, with fines of up to $1,000.
Where do we park?
In the driveway only: The Lookout fits 6–8 cars and Sunset Lodge about 10. Suncadia doesn’t allow parking on the street or on the grass and landscaping, and violations can be fined. The garages are game rooms, so they aren’t available for parking.
Can we have a campfire or use a charcoal grill?
Wood fires and charcoal aren’t allowed, but you won’t miss them. Each home has a gas fire pit with lava rocks and faux logs: just turn it on for instant flames, with no wood to haul, no smoke in your eyes and nothing to put out at the end of the night. For cooking, each home has a conveniently located 3-burner gas grill connected directly to the house gas line, so there are no propane tanks to swap or run out mid-dinner.
Can I charge an electric car?
Both homes have a Level 2 EV charger (J1772) plus a 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet. You’re welcome to bring an adapter for our charging cable, or your own cable to use with the 14-50 outlet.
What is the cancellation policy?
Our policy is firm because most stays are booked far in advance. We recommend travel insurance. You’ll see the full policy before you pay.
What happens after I book?

The portal is also where you can message us anytime and find all our messages, including your check-in instructions, which we send a few days before arrival.
