Sun Mountain Lodge Story Ideas
Local Artisans
With part of their mission and service philosophy to employ
locally and support area artisans, Sun Mountain
Lodge is playing a vital role in helping the local economy of
the Methow Valley - particularly the local crafts
people and artists - a group generally hard hit during the current
economic downturn. Local artisans are
currently in the process of furnishing the guestrooms at the
AAA Four Diamond Sun Mountain Lodge with
spectacular Northwest signature style. Two furniture makers
are crafting beds, armchairs and other furniture
bringing the great outdoors inside. The local blacksmith from
Winthrop is forging curtain rails, towel bars and
door handles as fanciful decorative elements. Fine fabric is
pure magic to a local seamstress from Twisp who is
creating duvet covers and throw pillows like works of art. The
walls are being sponged and fresco-painted by a
local painter and the local artwork (originally commissioned
by the Lodge at the time of its grand opening) will
be re-hung on the walls. Half of the rooms are complete now.
Wining and
Dining
Northwest atmosphere and dining at its finest. From naturally
grown herbs and vegetables right off the
Sunny M Farm to tenderloin of Washington state beef topped off
with mushrooms foraged from the
Cascade Mountains, the dining experience at Sun Mountain Lodge
promises to delight the palette. The Lodge
presents award-winning chefs, hearty and sophisticated dining,
and a boisterous wine list including a 5,000 bottle cellar,
which features many award-winning Northwest wines - some of
which can only be found at the Resort.
Opened in 1998, the wine cellar was designed to mirror the classic
cave cellars of Europe and features stone
and ironwork by local craftsmen. A large cherry wood dining
table, in the center of the cellar,
seats up to 14 guests for special occasion dining.
General Resort
Highlight
Washington State. A wealth of natural beauty and generous quality
vacation spots and resorts. One such hot
spot is the Sun Mountain Lodge resort, located in the Methow Valley
in Eastern Washington. Sun Mountain
Lodge is a place of unusual beauty where events and luxury can
be enjoyed year round.
Imagine combining a five-course gourmet dinner in a state-of-the-art
wine cellar, while relaxing in a peaceful environment free of
the noise and clutter of every day life and distractions. Hiking,
horseback riding, mountain
biking and more in the summer and skiing, ice skating, sledding
and more in the winter are just a few of the
abundant activities offered. Sun Mountain Lodge is the kind of
resort built upon the foundation of Northwestern friendliness
and openness of spaces where people can come to recreate and relax
on the edge of the wilderness with the service levels of the highest
quality. For those who are looking for a true Northwest escape
