Earthlight Villas

Earthlight Villa #6 is spectacular! You are truly staying above the clouds. It is very quiet and relaxing- super private. The set up is perfect -a comfortable bed and well stocked villa with a fire pit and hot tub on the deck to soak up the most amazing views. It feels unreal. The hosts are very responsive with great directions and communication. Lots of outdoor activities in the area too. It is a MUST STAY place. You won’t want to leave!! It is perfect

"Magical" was the only word my Wife and I could find to describe both the villa, but more importantly, the Experience of actually staying in the Villa. From an impeccably clean space with every amenity available for an extended stay (except for a TV and Radio, which, was a masterful choice to NOT have), to experiencing the nothing less than Stunning, absolutely Awe Inspiring view. Breath taking in every manner. We had the great luck to experience the Sun, the Stars, a Storm and even woke to a light dusting of Snow everywhere. The Website does not even begin to capture to Experience the Villas offer. My Siblings and I are already beginning to plan a weekend stay at all four Villas of which I will pay because it is one of those very rare experiences that you will (almost unfairly) reset your bar for rented rooms anywhere. I cannot recommend Earthlight Villas with any greater Enthusiasm.. Worth every single penny, and then much, much more!

We stayed at Earthlight 2 and had an amazing time! The place was immaculate and secluded, with views that are out of this world. The roads up to the villas are unpaved after HW2, but are in great condition. We were above the clouds for most of the stay - definitely lucked out on weather. We traveled with a pup - while listing is dog friendly, be sure to add in the pup charge beforehand. I missed this and EL contacted me afterwards - but now I know for the next time!

Simply incredible! My wife and I stayed in Earthlight 5 a couple nights following our wedding and the view was breathtaking! The villa was very well appointed. It was clean and tidy when we arrived. The beds are super comfy and the rain shower is a nice touch. The hot tub sitting on what feels like the edge of a cliff overlooking the Columbia River is a view worth experiencing again. We will be back again without a doubt!

Earthlight Villas ~ What a beautiful spot in the mountains!! We have always wanted to visit this stunning place & so happy we finally did! Highly recommend if you are looking for a romantic, quiet, getaway! We stayed in Villa 4 and chose that one specifically based on the way it faced the river (We are familiar with the area and so we wanted a certain view). One thing we noticed about our villa specifically is that we could see villa 5 from our patio and so it did not feel as private as the other two villas (2 & 6) that have complete privacy with no one in your direct line of sight. The kitchen came well equipped with necessary items you might need for cooking. One more baking sheet or pyrex would have been nice since only one is provided. Also, we did find out while there that the sink water is safe to drink but a couple water bottles would have been great to have as a complimentary gift upon our arrival. It is noted that there is hiking nearby but all it seemed to be was forest roads and not really trails like we were assuming it would be. I am someone who likes having activities near me, and the only thing about the location of the villas is that you are a far drive from any good restaurants or wineries. Lake Chelan and Wenatchee are both about a 55 minute drive. We did make that drive one of our nights there so we could enjoy dinner out and wine tasting. Doable, but not ideal! I would recommend planning to stay at your villa and not leave, convenience wise. Bring games/activities and all of the necessary food and drinks for your stay! As you can see in our photos, our trip was during wildfire season and while it was a bummer that our views were not as clear as they could have been, it was still beautiful in it's own way!! All in all, we would book again! Great experience! Would just do it a little differently next time.

Warning: dense cloud cover possible in December ☁️☁️☁️ Let me start by saying that Earthlight is such a great concept and I loved the privacy of the villa. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. A complete kitchen. A luxurious bed and shower and tub! The host was super responsive and helpful with any issues, too. I’m sure it’s stunning most of the time. Sadly 99.9% of our stay, we were just sitting in a cloud with no visibility. It was cold so we just blasted the heat and snuggled inside. We ended up leaving a day early. We got a brief view of the mountains over the clouds at sunset (around 4pm), but it was about 2 minutes of beauty before we were engulfed in a cloud again (see videos). Our most beautiful view was at night for about an hour when clouds were gone and we could see the silhouette of the winter mountains and gorge and village below (around 8pm). It was all black but still pretty. I was hopeful that the next day would be clear but the clouds rolled in again at night and we had another day of no visibility. I’m offering 2 stars because what makes this stay different and desirable is the view. We spent $2k and drove 5 hours for this trip (with a baby), as well as preplanned and packed all of our meals and cooking stuff. It’s a big commitment to stay so remote😅 I asked the host if they’d be willing to offer a partial refund or a free future stay and they declined. I was actually quite surprised, as the view is the main selling point of the stay and a free night would be a simple gesture to encourage me to stay again, spend more $$, and update this review. If this does happen as rarely as they claim, it shouldn’t be a big deal to accommodate one-off guests who don’t get the view they were sold, right? If you’re planning a winter trip to Earthlight please know of this cloud cover possibility! Hopefully one day we’ll be able to book again during summer months so we can see the views everyone claims are so stunning. Update: upon hearing our experience the host accused us of lying?!? 🫠 wow. So went ahead and removed a star.

Amazing, breathtaking views. Villa is fully stocked with anything you need. My only complaint would be better pillows. And maybe a TV for a cozy movie night with an incredible back drop. That being said, 100000000000% would recommend.

It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Obviously we didn’t know who the hosts were until we got there, so the process was based on blind trust but it worked out beautifully, which is rare these days. Thank you for that! The energy, the beauty, the time and effort you both have put into this project is really fabulous. We had an amazing time and can’t wait to come back. A much needed get away not too far from home. It was fun to read about your stories as well and we wish you all the best. The drive up to the Villa was nuts though! 😂 Thanks so much! Victoria and Brandon. P.S. I got this getaway for Brandon’s birthday and he loved it so much. We both did. We will definitely be back!
