Weekend Wanderings: Osprey’s Nest at Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort

Osprey’s Nest opened this summer at Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort is one of those places that makes you pause, breathe, and feel fully immersed in the Pacific Northwest.

This stunning home is perched above Icicle Creek in Leavenworth with unobstructed views of the Cascade Mountains from every room. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the wraparound deck, lounging in the spacious living room, or cozying up in one of the bedrooms, the beautiful scenery surrounds you.

The home itself is both grand and inviting. Once the winter residence of Sleeping Lady’s founder, Harriet Bullitt, Osprey’s Nest has been lovingly preserved for guests to enjoy. Inside, you’ll find a full-service kitchen, two full bathrooms, and enough space to sleep six comfortably (one king bedroom, one queen bedroom, plus extra accommodations). The washer and dryer, expansive living spaces, and two wraparound decks designed for gathering make it just as practical as it is beautiful.

Staying here also means you’ll have access to all of the wonderful amenities that Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort has to offer: a swimming pool, hot tub, game room, multiple restaurants, walking and biking trails, horseback riding, and the serene Aspen Leaf Day Spa. It’s a getaway that balances rustic mountain charm with thoughtful comforts, and it’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again.

A truly unique aspect of the resort is that the hotel is owned by The Icicle Fund, a local nonprofit that supports other North Central Washington organizations that focus on the arts, history and natural environment. So far, The Icicle Fund has invested more than $40M in such organizations.

Every time someone stays, dines, or spas at Sleeping Lady, they are giving back to the local community. This was made possible by Sleeping Lady owner and philanthropist, Harriet Bullitt, who gifted the property to the organization in 2019 before her passing.

If you’re planning a trip to Leavenworth, Osprey’s Nest at Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort is an absolute must-visit. It’s a true Pacific Northwest retreat where nature, comfort, and history come together.
