Winter Wonderland at Pine River Ranch Bed and Breakfast

Baby It's Cold Outside! We haven't gotten our first snowfall yet this year here at Pine River Ranch; but these beautiful winter pictures taken by one of our favorite wedding photographers Saskia Mizushima had to be shared! 

 A fresh blanket of fallen snow paints the most gorgeous scenery imaginable here at Pine River Ranch in Leavenworth, Washington. 

The icicle lights hanging from the roof of the main house look beautiful and festive during the holiday season. And don't worry about the snow; we work around the clock to make sure your pathways are clear and safe! We also promise we will deliver a piping hot homemade breakfast, no matter what the morning weather brings!

 A view of our restored 1944 dairy barn that holds both summer and winter weddings. 

The beautiful view of the mountain side and our 22 private acres of property dusted with fresh snow makes you and your loved one feel like you are the only two people on earth. A beautiful, relaxing and rejuvenating feeling. 

 Pine River Ranch is the closest lodging to Stevens Pass Ski Resort for snowbirds! There is nothing better than coming back to your private 2 person jacuzzi spa and gas fireplace after a long day of skiing or snowboarding.

Featured Bed and Breakfast Suite: Ponderosa

Pine River Ranch Bed and Breakfast is located in Leavenworth, Washington and is home to 6 beautiful bed and breakfast suites. The Ponderosa Suite shares a cabin with the Lodgepole Suite and both are located away from the main house for the ultimate getaway in privacy, luxury and seclusion. The large, open floorplan and vaulted ceilings of the Ponderosa Suite make this room a popular choice for a cozy cabin feel.

Situated above the hand made log bed on the vaulted ceiling is a small skylight that lets in just enough of the sunrise light to wake up to in the morning feeling refreshed, relaxed and like there is not a care in the world. Guests always remark that they love waking up to the soft lighting of the sunrise and that is something they can't get in the city. 

 The handmade log bed is not the focal point of this cabin suite, to get the best view, you simply have to step outside onto your private deck made for two. 

Pine River Ranch is located on 22 private acres. In the winter, grab a blanket and cuddle up outside on your private deck and enjoy your morning coffee and the snowfall. In the summer, sample the wonderful local wines from Leavenworth and enjoy the amazing view you can't find anywhere else. You can also grab a picnic lunch and take our 1/2 mile scenic "hike" to Nason Creek and enjoy the waterfront access.

Each Suite at Pine River Ranch BnB features 2 person jacuzzi spas. Enjoy a relaxing jacuzzi bath after a long day skiing, shopping or wine tasting!

In the winter months, make sure to turn on the gas fireplace to set the cozy, romantic tone for your getaway. 

 At Pine River Ranch, we deliver a delicious homemade breakfast right to the privacy of your cabin suite! Enjoy it in your breakfast nook, or on your private deck.

If you would like to reserve this suite for a getaway for two, visit our reservation page here or call 509-763-3959

Winter Wedding | Pine Cones, Evergreen Trees, Peonies

Welcome to Joe & Kelsey's Beautiful winter wedding! I figured we'd better sneak this wedding in before we get too far into spring time! Joe & Kelsey had a gorgeous wedding reception on December 28th here at Pine River Ranch, and held their stunning ceremony at the Plain Community Church. Although there wasn't a blanket of fresh fallen snow, everything turned out just perfect and we were so happy to be a part of their big day.

The white bouquets were so elegant and the perfect winter flower with the touches of evergreen tree branches.

 The girls chose to get ready in one of the Bed and Breakfast cabin suites on the property, I love the matching robes!

On their drive into Plain for the wedding ceremony, they stopped to snap this neat photo on one of the many bridges crossing over Nason Creek.

The ceremony was held at the Plain Community Church.

The group is all here! Ready to start the reception! 

The pine cone and evergreen tree theme carried on throughout the decor. We love the unique pine cone seating cards.

 I think these two cuties may have stole the "first dance" show!

  One last kiss for the night! Light up by the glow of the barn
