After years of working in, and surviving the urban jungle dodging in and out of and crawling along through rush hour traffic - finding a parking spot so as to allow for access to that small, seventh story cubicle in which to scratch out a living, many come to the realization that it's time to decompress.  Leavenworth often comes up on the radar as a popular area in which to accomplish that desire.  For some it's a weekend escape from a hectic daily ritual and for others it becomes the step off the phrenetic conveyor belt of the big city as a complete change.  It's our Leavenworth lifestyle that attracts you, the opportunity to awaken Saturday morning and walking in the morning quite to Starbucks, or maybe the little boutique coffee shop with free Wi-fi.  

The big city demands a significant investment to live there: A car, public transportation and an ever growing trend toward annonimity your city dwelling "family" within the confined spaces of buses and elevators. Oh how we find our feet and the ground in front of them of great interest.  

  A short, Friday afternoon, sub-two hour drive delivers weary weekday warriors to a more relaxed weekend home away from home here in the eastern slopes of the Cascades.  Settling into a local motel, or one of our many night rental homes/cabins offering complimentary cross country skis,  there's an immediate sense of decompression, as a weight lifted from your chest.  Seems breathing is easier, more relaxed and the world has a more pleasant outlook.   Families find a variety of activities to pursue following that cup a' joe and a bite of breakfast. Perchance it's of to the nearby cross country ski or snow shoe trails.  Or one of the various sledding hills including the tubing hill at the Leavenworth Winter Sports Club's Alpine Ski Hill or maybe it's the little hill on Front Street. Those seeking bigger adventure might've brought their back country ski gear headed off to "earn their turns.  Suddenly the the day has run it's course.  Time for a hot beverage, or maybe cold has arrived followed by dinner at Gustav's or maybe Cafe Mozart.  We sport a number of good restaurants in which to replenish spent fuel tanks.  After dinner it's time to settle in for the evening with a good movie or maybe a friendly board game.  Thoughts of home are left behind and the pleasantries of the relaxing atmosphere of the area pervade one's thoughts.  And looking at your family you might find you've berthed a newand exciting idea!  What if we found our very own hide-a-way here in the Bavarian Village? 

Sunday morning brings you to Sandy's Waffle Haus and as you pass by my office, The Johns Real Estate Corporation your head turns to the real estate guide in the info box on the front door.  The property information packets are quickly taken to SearchAreaHomes properties over the morning meal and soon thereafter return to inquire on a cabin or land offering that just might suit your needs.  The thought of a cabin in or near Leavenworth becomes an attractive one. 

To arrive here Friday evening to your weekend get-a-way complete with food in the fridge and clothes in the closet is indeed an appealing thought!  One worthy of pursuing.  No more packing and repacking suit cases to wrestle in and out of the car, no more late night arrivals to an unfamiliar pillow.  No more search for misplaced or even forgotten necessities. And with the morning light, it's a matter of taking what you need from the closet and sautering out the door.  Off to find adventure.
