Granite Peaks Lodge


A perfect place to unwind would be at the Granite Peaks Lodge located in the heart of Steven's Pass. After a day of hitting the slopes, you may want to spend the evening relaxing and conversing with fellow skiers and snowboarders over a hot meal. The lodge offers lounging and delicious food from cheeseburgers to crisp salads that are all prepared in the famous Cascadian Kitchen. The lodge's exterior mimics an old rustic log cabin, giving you a sense of warmth and an invitation for a good time.

Walking though the tall swinging wooden doors, you'll become instantly toasty from your fingertips all the way down to your toes. The smell of Tully's roasted coffee beans fill the air with a heavenly aroma. Overstuffed couches provide a cozy place to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate or two.

As you make your way up the stairs to the second floor, long tables with wooden benches fill the room, all postioned to focus on the windows that surround the lodge revealing a winter wonderland. A wonderland of snow coated trees and heavy snow that blankets the ground and a snow fall so heavy that it covers up your foot prints after every step.

A man stands in the middle directing the crowd of people towards the grill or the salad line, like a sheep herder trying to herd his sheep home. An array of baked goods abd candy bars are displayed in front of the registers for you not to miss. Whether you're just relaxing at the lodge or feasting on yummy food and treats at the Cascadian Kitchen, a fun experience is always expected. When you want that sense of being on vacation, but don't want to travel far from home, the Granite Peaks Lodge is the place to be.
