We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location on the lake is gorgeous and is perfect for boating on the lake and standup paddle boarding. We especially loved access to the private dock and the boat and jet ski lifts. The host is kind and responsive. I highly recommend this property and plan to return for future trips to Chelan.

There’s no place like (this) home.

I knew before even seeing this house in person that it was going to be something special. The owner, Janet, was so helpful and patient with me. As expected, the house was beautiful and very comfortable. We will definitely try to stay here again.

Loved my first trip to Chelan

Carma Cottage was a perfect location and home for my first trip to Chelan. The cottage was just the right size for two couples and the location directly on the water was just what we had hoped for. Host was extremely responsive to all our questions/needs, the unit was very well stocked and very clean. Felt like home the minute we arrived.

Fabulous spot in Chelan!

This home is a gem in a great location with everything you need to have a perfect vacation. Well appointed, particularly the kitchen - everything you could ever need was there, including thoughtful touches like hot chocolate, coffee and spices - and exceptionally clean. Our group couldn't have been happier. Comfy beds and plenty of space with a fun loft. Close to town and great dock on the water for fun in the sun. Janet was an amazing host, incredibly responsive and so accommodating. Thank you for a great stay. We can't wait to return.
