Abendblume Pension

The town of Leavenworth in the Cascade Mountains is home to a true Bavarian Village that, season after season, continues to draw Mardi and me back. Each excursion fills our files (and hearts) with stories to tell and a recent find to share. Abendblume Pension is one of the rarest finds of all.

Located in an open area to appreciate the serenity of the mountains, but still close to all the town has to offer, this award-winning old world Bavarian inn is authentic in architecture and service alike.

Designed, and largely built by proprietors Randy and Renee Sexauer (whose travels throughout Austria inspired the inn's design), Abendblume sits on the very land where Renee was raised. Its handmade lobby doors and immense wood pillars set the stage for the spectacular architecture inside.

Beyond the doors, you'll find old world archways, carved wood walls and ceilings, plus hand forged iron stair railings on the elegant curved stairway. A loving tribute to the Austrian chalet, Abendblume (meaning Evening Flowering) is as romantic as it is luxurious.

We come back to the Abendblume each fall to experience the best fall color displays in the surrounding mountains.
