Just 30 miles east of Washington's largest city sits a peaceful oasis perched high above one of the most visually stunning waterfalls you'll ever see. For just over a century, the Salish Lodge & Spa (originally called the Snoqualmie Falls Lodge) has been offering guests an unparalleled experience. Thanks to a recent renovation, this place is more magical than ever -- and if you haven't been, you're really missing out on something special.
It all started in 1916, when the eight-room Snoqualmie Falls Lodge opened as a rest stop for weary travelers.
In 1988, the building was completely remodeled, and the Salish Lodge was born. And while you may recognize the lodge as the setting for the TV show Twin Peaks, it has so much more to offer than just nostalgia (although you'll experience plenty of that, too).
The property was renovated again in 2018, so the Salish Lodge's rooms and suites are more elegant than ever.
Each room has luxurious amenities like soft robes, gas fireplaces, pour-over coffee service, and premium mattresses with gel memory foam.
Not only does this place have its own herb garden, they even have their own hives, and therefore their own honey.
You'll find delicious honey worked into all kinds of recipes and cocktails here, and the honey is sold in the country store gift shop in the lobby.
If you're looking for a casual drink or a light meal, head to The Attic, which is currently open on the weekends only (for now)...
... or, go all-in and treat yourself to some fine dining in the Dining Room.
Whether you go for a morning brunch or an evening dinner, you won't be disappointed. The menu can be summed up as Pacific Northwest at its best. Everything is fresh, local, and outstanding. This is the Dungeness Crab Pappardelle, and it tastes even better than it looks.
Recently, The Dining Room added an outdoor seating area to provide a more comfortable dining experience and adhere to capacity restrictions.
It has become such a popular gathering spot, they have no plans to remove it.
For many of us, splurging on a luxury room and a meal sent from the heavens themselves isn't always easy to do. But should you decide to experience Salish Lodge & Spa, don't skip out on the "spa" part of the experience.
Here, you can sip a mimosa while enjoying a private soak in a heated pool or relax and unwind in the sauna and steam room.
The list of treatments includes a long list of customized massages and facials, all of which are worth every penny.
You can even book a fireside massage for two if you happen to be visiting with someone special.
As amazing as the lodge is, no visit is complete without getting outside and checking out Snoqualmie Falls.
There are several short, easy hiking trails nearby should you feel the need to see the falls from a different angle.
The only thing better than the top-notch amenities at Salish Lodge & Spa is the fantastic customer service. Check out the special offers and come see for yourself.
