3 Best Hotels in Snoqualmie, Washington Cascade Mountains and Valleys

The stunning, chalet-style lodge—which you may recognize from the opening credits of Twin Peaks—sits dramatically over Snoqualmie Falls and offers a slew of creature comforts, including plush rooms with gas fireplaces, window seats or balconies, and a first-rate spa with sauna, steam room, and soaking tubs. Several rooms have partial or full views of the gorgeous cascades, while others have a river panorama. The elegant Dining Room has an eclectic menu (lamb shank ragout, pan-seared Columbia River steelhead, and many dishes using honey produced by on-site bees) and sumptuous breakfasts, and the cozy yet stylish Attic bistro offers fine Northwest wines, craft cocktails, and wood-fired pizzas.

Fans of Twin Peaks will recognize the exterior of this rambling two-story tavern and inn (although interior scenes were shot elsewhere), but you needn't have watched the show to appreciate the clean, comfy, and affordable guest rooms. Located beside the Snoqualmie River in the hamlet of Fall City, the inn dates to 1916, and its guest rooms have been tastefully updated.

On 3½ acres above the Snoqualmie River, this secluded B&B a few miles east of North Bend has unbeatable mountain and wilderness views, and the guest rooms, with wainscoting and fireplaces, have private entrances and decks. The Mountain Room has a whirlpool tub; the Bear Iris Room has a feather bed and a two-person Japanese soaking tub. Herb's Place is a hunting cabin with a kitchen and loft, and the Rock & Rose Room has its own sauna—behind a giant boulder.
