Romantic Getaways

Nothing says “Leavenworth” quite like strolling hand-in-hand through the village before returning to a cozy fireplace room.

“The room had a fireplace and a large Jacuzzi tub… the location is great, walkable to everything on Front Street. We’ll definitely stay here again.”

At Obertal Inn, couples enjoy thoughtfully appointed guest rooms featuring fireplaces and/or Jacuzzi tubs in select rooms, a complimentary homemade breakfast each morning, and our famous homemade apple strudel. It’s the perfect home base for anniversaries, birthdays—or simply a weekend away together.

After dinner, walk back beneath the twinkling village lights instead of searching for parking.

“The staff was very helpful and friendly… the location was great (very walkable). Homemade breakfast was tasty, and their homemade strudel was amazing!”

Dogs deserve vacations, too.

  • Private fenced yard
  • Private hot tub
  • Ground-level entry
  • Full kitchen
  • Comfortable living and dining room

Instead of worrying about stairs or finding green space, you and your four-legged family member can relax and enjoy your own private retreat.

“The Garden Haus is particularly accommodating… it’s a standalone cabin with extra privacy, a full kitchen, a large private fenced yard, and a hot tub. It’s the best of both worlds—privacy and a very central location.”

Our beautifully appointed Dream House suite apartments place you directly on Front Street in the heart of downtown.

Walk downstairs to coffee shops, boutiques, restaurants, tasting rooms, and festivals before returning to your private apartment whenever you’d like.

They’re ideal for couples who want an authentic downtown experience with all the comforts of home.

“It was spotless and had everything we needed. Our favorite thing was the little balcony overlooking Front Street. We sat out there day and night people watching and enjoying the mountain views.”

Traveling With a Large Group?

One of the biggest challenges in Leavenworth is finding accommodations that keep everyone together without crowding everyone into a single house.

That’s where the Haus Wunderbar condominiums truly shine.

 Reserve several condos within the same building and enjoy the best of both worlds:

  • Everyone has their own private condominium
  • Separate kitchens and living spaces
  • Elevator access
  • Covered parking
  • Beautiful river and mountain views
  • Walk to Front Street together

Whether you’re hosting a family reunion, wedding guests, sports team, quilting retreat, corporate getaway, or holiday gathering, everyone can enjoy privacy while staying just steps from one another.

Why Guests Choose Downtown

There’s a reason visitors specifically search for downtown Leavenworth hotels.

When you stay downtown, you can:

  • Walk to restaurants and shops
  • Enjoy festivals without moving your car
  • Return to your room between activities (or purchases!)

Downtown isn’t simply where you sleep—it’s part of the Leavenworth experience.
