A Quiet Pause Between Peaks and Possibility

alpenglow at Snoqualmie Summit

Just an hour from Seattle – yet a world away in pace.

In the heart of the Cascades, Alpenglow sits nestled in the firs — a chalet where mountain mornings unfold slowly, and winter lingers in the best of ways. Just a short walk from the Summit lifts, this home invites both stillness and adventure. After days on the slopes or trails, return to the warmth of radiant heated floors, a cedar sauna, and windows that frame snow-draped evergreens and alpenglow skies.

With plenty of room for gatherings, a cozy bunkroom for kids, and fireside seating that draws you in, Alpenglow is designed for shared meals, slow mornings, and stargazing nights. Whether it’s ski season or summer hikes, this home is built for rhythm — not rush.

Year-round rhythm

In winter, step from the door to the lifts — ski days that end in the warmth of cedar walls and fireside evenings.

In summer and fall, trails wind through wildflowers and lead to alpine lakes, with mountain bike rides and starlit skies.

And year-round, Alpenglow offers space to gather — to reconnect, to slow down, and to return to what matters most.
