This summer, my family, our dog, and I escaped to Suncadia, a peaceful mountain resort community just outside Cle Elum, Washington—and it was everything we needed and more.
We rented a beautiful home right in the heart of the resort, complete with a hot tub, fire pit, and easy access to everything. The best part? We didn’t need to drive much—Suncadia is incredibly walkable. We explored the property’s scenic trails, strolled down to The Lodge, wandered along the Cle Elum River, and soaked in stunning views of the surrounding mountains.
Dog Heaven (on a Leash!)
We brought our dog, and he was in paradise! While dogs must be leashed throughout the resort, there were so many fellow pups out and about that it felt like a mini dog community. Our dog loved the trails, meeting other furry friends, and watching deer and birds around the property.
More Than Just Nature
Suncadia also offers:
– Two incredible golf courses
– A pool and fitness center
– A rental shop for bikes and gear
– Family-friendly green spaces and patios
A Quick Trip to Roslyn
One afternoon we headed to Roslyn, a charming old mining town just a few minutes away. It’s full of character and small-town charm—with shops, history, and cozy restaurants. We had lunch at Logan’s Restaurant, where we could sit outside in a large fenced patio area with our dog. Great food, laid-back vibe, and very pet-friendly!
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re hiking, relaxing in a hot tub under the stars, or enjoying time with family and pets, Suncadia is a true Pacific Northwest gem. It’s just 90 minutes from the Seattle area but feels like a whole other world.
We’re already planning our next visit—and our dog is too. 🐾
