WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT US

Our family has been coming to Lake Chelan for the last 25 years. Darnell’s has been a family tradition with no end in sight. We just keep filling more rooms!

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The location is so private feeling, it was the perfect getaway for my husband and I. We will be back next year.

We had the perfect wedding. I really can’t thank you enough for all your help in making sure that my wedding and our guest were well provided for. Thank you so much.

What location you have! Like your site says, we really didn’t want to leave. We’ve only been coming for a few years, but we’ll catch some of the others 🙂
