This home has an amazing view of Lake Chelan. It is so peaceful and relaxing. For a large group in the winter, the main level would be pretty small as it is too cold to stay outside. The decor is a little outdated but the colors are pretty. The master bedroom has a foam mattress topper that should also have a mattress pad for cleanliness. Overall, I would stay here again as the view is unmatched!

My wife and I took advantage of the Fall special for a quick getaway to Chelan. It was fun to enjoy Chelan during the winter as we’ve only been during summer. We experienced restaurants and shops that we hadn’t visited before. And as always, The Lookout was awesome!

We came for 3 nights - two couples and one 4 year old child. The house was much larger than we needed, but the view & community amenities were so worth it! We really enjoyed the indoor - outdoor flow of living in the house with the accordion doors to the deck. I’m the neighborhood we used the valet shuttle down to the beach, playground & swing-set, and even walked down to Vin du Luc for some wine tasting! We would definitely stay at On A Whim again, and in the Lookout in general. We found the ping pong table in the garage on our last day as we were leaving - so that will be on our list for next time! My only complaint, and so minor, was the toiletries provided, ie shampoo, conditioner, etc, were extremely difficult to open. So next time I will bring our own.

We LOVED our stay at On a Whim! It was the perfect spot for 10 ladies to celebrate a milestone birthday. The house was clean, spacious and well appointed. The deck was perfect for morning coffee, meals, games and chats! Excellent customer service from the manager. We would highly recommend On a Whim and look forward to coming back. The location and view were both amazing and we enjoyed all the amenities that the Lookout offers.

Great house with great views. We would have loved to have more toilet paper, paper towels, and dishwashing tabs. Especially for the price of the house we shouldn’t have to worry about those things while on vacation. The sheet on the master bedroom bed also did not fit and would slide off every night. Other than those things it was a great house with plenty of room!

Many things didn't work. Missing items. Many rules that we followed but not enforced on others so parking was impossible. Beautiful spot. No privacy on decks and noise from neighbors was extreme.
Contacted office many times but none of the above was ever corrected.

Amazing Property
This house is stunning. Perfect location with amazing views. Very clean and well thought out and the kitchen was outfitted with plenty of utensils and a variety of glassware for all your needs. The Sonos sound system was a huge plus as well! Only downfall of our stay was due to the homes being so close together and our neighbors were a bit noisy, but that was luck of the drawn. Everything else was perfect.

We enjoyed our stay and had a very nice time . The home location was perfect. The house had everything we needed and was in great condition . We loved all the light from the big windows. Had fun sitting on the deck all bundled up and watched the Holiday Fireworks display they had in town . Only downside for us was the Master Bed. We did not even sleep in the master due to the bed being so uncomfortable. It is a foam mattress and that was the one downside to our visit . We would like to return to the house but not sure due to the one bed . Other beds were fine. Couches were very comfortable and loved the fireplace.

This house was really fantastic! It had great space and very clean. Location was amazing, loved the outdoor deck even though we didn't really get to use it because of the weather. The unobstructed view of the lake was wonderful! Plenty of bedrooms and baths for our group of 7 ladies. Plus w nice size livingroom areas, one upstairs and one down. I would rent here again!

This house has an amazing view. It's one of only a handful of houses on the bluff with unobstructed 180 degree views of the lake. Simply amazing. The house is also nice - clean and well furnished. The umbrella for the outdoor dining table was there when we stayed in June, but gone in August. That was nice to have for meals outside. Unfortunately, the dishwasher broke on the second day of a 10 day stay. With a family of four, that was really difficult. They did bring us a tiny counter top one, but it was very hard to do our dishes. Gnats were also a huge problem. We could open the door (or the nana wall) at all because too many gnats would come in. I put out apple cider vinegar, and it had a 1/2 inch of dead gnats by the time we left. But that's an issue with Chelan in general in August. The house and view are overall fantastic though.

We had a wonderful stay at On a Whim. This rental home is the perfect combination of class and cozy. Everything is quality: from the living room furniture, the beautiful dining room table right through to the beds and bedding: all very high quality. Two living areas: one where the kids could watch TV and play board games and the main level living area with that beautiful mesmerizing view. The outdoor living is exceptional. We also loved the marina area and made use of their jet ski rental: very simple and straight forward process. We loved the neighborhood's walkability and loved walking to the Bistro for dinner and to the coffeeshop at the pool. We made use of the pools and hot tub and it was very pleasant and family oriented. There was a firepit with tools for Smores. The developers thought of everything! One of our best vacations. We LOVED LOVED our stay and hope to be back.

Reviewer Comments:
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house and the Lookout. A couple of issues at the house that we would like the owner to be aware of: the heating/cooling system did now work properly. We froze at night upstairs (blowing cold air) and one night I had to sleep on the main floor. We reported the issue and it was looked at but we were told they needed to reach the owners to fix the problem. The main floor never cooled down. The downstairs was very cool too. The Net control adjustments were temporary. We did not try to heat it up using the ductless system. A new coffee maker is needed. The home lacked large serving trays, basic utensils, and dishes (bowls).

The Perfect Getaway!
I recently stayed at the On A Whim property with a group of friends for a girls weekend and we all loved the house! Our favorite was the indoor/outdoor living aspect where we could slide open the whole wall that opens up to the deck. The kitchen was well equipped and the house slept all 9 of us comfortably. I would highly recommend staying here if you're considering it!
