Cedar Hollow · Washington
A Local's Eye, Anywhere
Fifty rooms. One river. A thousand acres of North Cascades forest between you and everything you left behind.

Welcome
Where the river bends.
Marlowe & Pine sits where the Anders River bends around a stand of old-growth fir, ninety minutes northeast of Seattle and a world away from it. What began in the 1940s as a ranger outpost for the surrounding forest service land has been rebuilt, room by room, into a fifty-room lodge — restored timber, wood-fired heat, and a kitchen that runs on what's in season within fifty miles.
We're not a resort with a hundred amenities. We're a small hotel with a very good sense of direction: our concierge team has hiked the trails, fished the runs, and eaten at the roadside stand you'd otherwise drive past. That's the whole idea behind “a local's eye, anywhere” — you get the trip a friend who lives here would plan for you, not the one every visitor gets.
Stay
Fifty Rooms, Four Ways to Stay
From Pine Rooms tucked into the original lodge to freestanding Ridge Cottages with their own wood stoves, every room looks out on the river, the ridge, or the trees — never a parking lot.
Each comes with a gas or wood-burning fireplace, a soaking tub or oversized rain shower, and a mini-bar stocked with things made within the state line.

Experiences
Built Around What's Outside the Door
Guided hikes into the North Cascades, fly fishing on the Anders, a wood-fired sauna at the river's edge, a chef's table built around whatever the morning's foraging turned up.
Every experience is bookable through the concierge, and most are the kind of thing you won't find without asking someone who actually lives here.
Fly Fishing the Anders
Half- or full-day outings on one of the state's better-kept trout rivers.
Wood-Fired Sauna & River Plunge
Riverside sauna, then straight into the cold water. Locals call it “the reset.”
The Forager's Table
A seasonal, multi-course dinner built same-day from what our forager brought back that morning.
Dining
The Timber Table
Our restaurant runs a short, seasonal menu built on Pacific Northwest ingredients — much of it foraged, fished, or grown within an hour of the lodge.
Breakfast, dinner, and a bar menu at The Understory that runs later than you'd expect from a fifty-room hotel.

Notes From Cedar Hollow
Trail conditions, where to eat on your way in, when to book if you want to see the larches turn gold — our Journal is where we put the details our front desk gets asked about every day.

We stopped planning our own days by the second morning. The front desk just knew where we should be.
