Most guests are housed in lodge rooms that comfortably accommodate 2-4 people. Bathrooms are down the hall. Families may be housed together with shared living and sleeping rooms. Bed linens and towels are provided.
The Holden Kitchen provides breakfast, lunch and dinner. Holden’s diet utilizes mainly local & organic produce, whole grains, legumes, and occasional fish & meat options. The Holden Kitchen can accommodate many special dietary needs. Some snacks are available in the Dining Hall around the clock.
Holden’s facilities include a sauna, children’s playground, Holden store, post office, ice cream snack bar, historical museum, library, hiking and skiing equipment, pool hall, art & pottery studios, and a bowling alley. Access to some of these facilities depends on the time of year.
As a historic mountain Village, Holden’s location poses notable challenges for those with limited mobility. During the summer months, housing with wheelchair accessibility is available and motor scooters can be borrowed upon request. In good weather, guests are also welcome to travel on a portion of 10 Mile Trail which is maintained as a wheelchair-accessible trail. In the winter, however, please keep in mind that due to snow accumulation and ice, visits may be difficult.
Have you ever wanted your family, church, or community organization to experience a change of pace? Throughout the year, Holden welcomes visitor groups of all ages to experience new rhythms of living. Learn more about bringing a party of 15-40 to the Village by viewing our Fall, Winter, and Spring Group Application Form here. For summer group applications click here. Please email registrar@holdenvillage.org to confirm dates prior to completing the application. Groups pay the cohort price during the summer, and a different group rate the other times of year.
Caring for the health and safety of all Villagers is a responsibility joyfully shared by all members of the community!
Holden Village has a First Aid Station equipped to handle basic needs. The Village is not well equipped to handle medical emergencies on site. Emergency evacuations are possible in most weather conditions. However, due to our isolated location, evacuation can take many hours or even days in winter. Helicopter evacuation, if available, is very expensive. If you use medication, be sure to bring more than enough for your stay including possible delays leaving the village. If you have any questions about coming to Holden in regards to your health, please contact your doctor and/or the Village Medic before finalizing your visit.
If you have an emergency, please call the emergency satellite phone number: 509-699-2404. If your issue is not an emergency, please contact us via email.

Chelan, WA 98816
The Holden B&B is three miles from Fields Point Landing, where many guests board the Lady of the Lake passenger boat for the trip uplake toward Lucerne, Holden Village, and Stehekin. The B&B is not accessible by public transportation and cannot provide shuttle service to or from Fields Point.
The B&B offers private bedrooms with shared common spaces and bathrooms. In order to keep our prices lower, we ask that guests make their own beds when they arrive and strip their beds before departing. Full breakfast is served during peak season months (June – October). Continental breakfast is provided each morning during the off season (November – May). No smoking or pets.
