Sleeping Lady Resort

Guests arriving at Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort settle into 58 lodgings on the banks of the Icicle River near Leavenworth, Washington. Despite the rustic and seemingly isolated setting in the eastern Cascade Mountains, all provide the civilized comforts of sumptuous bedding, iPod docks, and Wi-Fi. A two-acre organic garden keeps a steady stream of farm-fresh ingredients flowing to two on-site restaurants as well as catered affairs.

Groups meet in eight distinct venues, all bathed in natural light and supported by expert conference coordinators and high-tech audiovisual aids. The spaces range from a purpose-built cabin holding up to 30 delegates to a theater holding up to 190. Inevitably, even the most productive of sessions breaks to commune with nature, dip into the rock-lined swimming pool, or indulge at the Aspen Leaf Spa.
