Prepare to escape from the world as we know it. You have no cell service. No TV. No internet or WiFi - no honking cars or fighting over parking places. The only way to the the town of Stehekin is to take a ferry from Chelan, a float plane in, or hike over the mountain pass into this beautifully preserved... More

I treated my husband to a bit of a different destination for his birthday. We are not campers - well I'm not anyway, so this was a compromise between the five-star hotel I would enjoy and the sleeping bag on the ground! It's an interesting place to get to - no driving, you must take the Lake Chelan ferry or... More

I stayed 3 nights in a tent cabin at Stehekin Valley Ranch run by the Courtneys. Stehehin valley ranch turns out to be the best place to stay in the remote place of Stehekin. It offers the best accommodation, food and transportation. The location is beautifully surrounded by green pasture. Staying in a tent cabin is close to camping in... More

We stayed one night at the Stehekin Valley Ranch but we would have been happy to stay a week. It's beautiful, remote, and the Courtney's were delightful hosts. The owner was there to greet us as soon as we arrived on the shuttle bus from the boat landing. We stayed in Tent Cabin #12 which was very clean and comfortable.... More

The Stehekin Valley is located in the North Cascades National Park, and is only accessible via boat, plane, or a long hike. I recommend taking the sea-plane, as you get a great view of Lake Chelan and the... More

My wife and I stayed at the Stehekin Valley Ranch July of 2012 and the summer of 2010. This is the perfect place for a person who likes nature, outdoor activities, good food, peace and comfy but not luxurious accommodations. On the other hand, if Las Vegas is your favorite vacation spot, then the Stehekin Valley Ranch may not be... More

The Pros of SVR: great food, beautiful views, close to river, great hiking, near the PCT, clean facilities, beds are comfy. Cons: no privacy if you stay in a tent cabin (they are close to each other), little quiet from 8am to 11 pm, no place to sit outside and read and not be disturbed, the owner can be helpful... More

Take your kids to the wilderness and enjoy the quiet- love the fact there is no cell reception!! The north cascades are pristine and there is so much to do or you can sit in front of your cabin and do nothing!!
