About
Sleeping Lady Mountain Retreat is a conference facility that blends music and the arts, human interaction, and a reverence for nature to create a uniquely productive meeting experience. Taking its name from the mountain profile above the site, Sleeping Lady opened its doors in 1995, after four years of planning and development.
Spread over 67 acres, Sleeping Lady is nestled in the Cascade foothills outside Leavenworth, Washington. Its architecture and landscaping were designed by Jones & Jones of Seattle to blend with nature and to preserve or restore the natural landscaping and habitat of the area. Guest rooms and meeting areas reflect an atmosphere of rustic elegance, and intentionally foster interaction and dialogue.
Sleeping Lady's commitment to the arts and music are reflected in its extensive collection of original artwork and folk art, and its partnership with Icicle Creek Music Center, whose offices are located onsite. Icicle Creek administers a year 'round Sleeping Lady performing arts series, and produces its own classical, jazz and acoustic chamber music programs at Sleeping Lady, including its summer Chamber Music Festival.
Founded by owner Harriet Bullitt, whose family has had close ties to the area since 1931, Sleeping Lady was built with environmentally sensitive construction methods, and incorporates environmental conservation into its daily operations. It has been recognized for setting standards of excellence in ecotourism and ecobuilding industries.
