Winter review: we came in January and it was nice and quiet. A handful of other people here but not busy. Amazing view of the lake Chelan and the Winter fest fireworks from here. Was even able to sit in the hot tub with my fiance and watch the fireworks with no one with us. Absolutely love hotels that have fireplaces in them, not sure if all do. They supplied duralogs which worked great and if you run out they have more to buy. They have a bunch of DVDs you can use in the office as well as some board games, ping pong table, shuffle board. A couple docks as well for the summer time. Decent size pool as well. Staff was amazing very friendly and knowledgeable.

We have stayed here between Christmas and New Years a few times. Love the location as it is walkable to the town and now they have a great new walking/jogging/biking path that is super wide that makes the walk super safe. The unit is a 2bd/2ba unit with full kitchen, fireplace, free internet, amazing views from an awesome deck. We had one member of the family take advantage of the Hot Tub but can tell you that it was really popular. We pretty much relaxed in our unit with brief sojurns into town. Had hoped to do some snow boarding at Echo Valley but just not enough snow for the higher slopes to open. What I can tell you though is that the people at Peterson's Waterfront resort are amazingly friendly. We were met with smiles and great hospitality. We arrived early so our unit was not ready. We pre-registered and then we did a little exploring of the area. They called us when the unit was ready and when we pulled up to pick up our keys, the amazing women at the front desk ran our keys out to the car. She did the same thing when we went to pick up a couple packages we had Amazon delivered to us. Overall, we love this resort. We loved making our own meals, playing games, building puzzles, reading books and watching fireworks. Great week and hope we can snag a unit for next year. Oh, weather was awesome...chilly and would have like more than snow flurries but it was all good.

Man honestly I have a hard time eating this place five stars because then it will be harder to get a spot there. This is an awesome place to stay, staff is upper nice, grounds are very well kept, phenomenal water access and love the rooms. The fact that the hot tub and pool stay open until 11 is a game changer. Clearly you’ll want to be quiet and respectful but it was a great way to wind down after a crazy day of running around and attending a wedding. 100% will stay here again.

Our first time staying here and we really enjoyed it. The unit was spacious and had a nice balcony. We appreciated the full kitchen, too. Every room has a lake view and the amenities are all on the lake. Plus they have kayaks and paddle boards as well as other activities. We took advantage of the kayak and spent a while paddling around on the lake.

Great place, staff is always friendly and helpful. They got a shuffleboard table this year. This is the best resort in Chelan. Not crowded, on the lake with a pool and hotub. Quick walk to town. I like that they have an EV charger as well. I really wish they would allow dogs, even if it's just small ones.

This is a time share, we've been part of for many years. The location is great for walking into town to eat out or shop. During the summer you have direct access to the lake. In the winter the outdoor hot tub is open. They have a community room with games available. Our unit was recently updated with new kitchenware as I assume others were too. The office staff are very friendly and helpful.
