Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a comfortable stay at Whiskey Business, the Lookout is close to town, the pool and hot tub were right outside our back patio. Having two bedrooms with on suite bathrooms was perfect and a complete bath downstairs as well made it very comfortable for 2 couples. If you plan to do a lot of cooking the kitchen is a bit tight although completely stocked with everything you need. Also it was dog friendly ;) So we would definitely rent it again.

A destination in itself

We were hoping for a nice relaxing stay in a sunny area. Unfortunately we have small kids and we were all a bit under the weather for this trip. But I loved the location, home, and amenities at the lookout. We will definitely stay again.

It was the perfect weekend getaway!

We fully enjoyed our stay. The weather was great! It was Easter weekend and there were lots of fun planned activities for the kiddos! We brought our pup with us and he chilled in the sun on the patio. The pool & jacuzzi were the best addition to our stay. And, the best little touch was a bottle of Basil Hayden Bourbon mix was waiting for us to start out the weekend!

Beautiful home in the Lookout!

The house was a great size for us and extremely clean. The furnishings were very nice and the location of the home was great, being right by the pool. The downside was not being able to park at the home for a few days, due to a paving project, but that shouldn't be an issue in the future.

Summer Bliss at Whiskey Business

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had an excellent summer vacation at Whiskey Business in beautiful Lake Chelan. The home is perfectly located within The Lookout community, giving us easy access to everything we love—just steps to the pool out the back door, a short walk to the lake, and endless daily activities for all ages. The property itself was spotless, well-maintained, and incredibly comfortable, with thoughtful touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. Whether we were lounging by the pool, enjoying the lake, or exploring the area, Whiskey Business was the perfect base for our trip. We can’t wait to come back!

Roommate reunion

Wonderful location! The house and neighborhood are absolutely beautiful and I would go back! Didn't realize it was an active construction site though and the picture advertising the location is out of date. (it is much more developed now) that was the only negative. Crews were nice and work hours were not a bother. I had to call after hours, because the wi-fi went out, and someone was there within 15 minutes.

So much comfort in every single room, so much fab decor everywhere you looked. Being poolside was convenient and also private. The shuttle down to the private beach is close too! Everything you would want in a place to allow your brain some R&R is right here at Whiskey Business.

Great weekend stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic stay at Whiskey Business/The Lookout! The location was great - right next to the pool and also convenient parking right outside our door. The covered patio was perfect for gatherings and we enjoyed the fire pit at night. The house itself was comfortable and a good size for 2 adults and an infant. Only two minor suggestions for improvement: It would be helpful to have shampoo/body wash in all 3 bathrooms (we only found them in the downstairs one). Additionally, the uncovered top of the bedroom windows let in quite a bit of light. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again. The Lookout is such a great family vacation spot!

Pleasant stay but outdated photos.

Stay was good. Picture does not represent property. Maybe looked like that when first built but cover photo no longer represents property or surroundings. Also, booking directly at Lookout would have saved us almost 400. Only noticed immediately after booking but it was nonrefundable. I got a receipt from the lookout after booking, and it was for far less than what we paid. And then I got a separate receipt from VRBO for the difference as a "booking fee". Kinda silly!

The area is so beautiful

The whisky business, is located on hills and uneven terrain. The access the the unit steep stairs. Elderly Family members as well as 4 legged ones Will need to use extra caution. As we were packing up and cleaning getting ready to check out. Around 10am multiple staff members were , Hanging around the outside front and back for us to leave. This was an hour before check out. This made me feel very uncomfortable. As I was seeing the garbage was taken out and beds were stripped. Struck me as inconsiderate.

The communication throughout our experience was seamless too! From the way we received information to prepare for our trip, info about the community/condo/ community activities/check in/out, local recos... it was timely, complete, shareable, easy to reference during our trip! The aesthetics of the condo - so well decorated, spotless, and they provided everything we needed - even dog treats! We had a plast walking through the neighborhood, tasting at Vin Du Lac down the street (the smashed potatoes are to die for, btw!)All in all - I am grateful for the thought and attn to detail that made our entire experience great!

First time for us in Chelan!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first experience in Chelan, and boy was it worth it! As we pulled up to the house, we saw the welcoming “Whiskey Business” sign, and knew we were in for a treat.. Once we got inside, we noted that for a “cabin / cottage” it was amazingly modern looking with beautiful tiling behind the counters and gorgeous couch and chair setup on the far end of the first floor. The decor lived up to the name of the home, as we could clearly see “Whiskey Business” spread throughout the home. From the bourbon barrel lids on the wall, to the coasters with signature bourbons printed on them to the giant buffalo (trace) photo up the stairs, we could tell a lot of time was put into decorating this in just the right way. Everything was clean and neatly stocked and we were able to find everything we needed really easily. The beds in our room were incredibly comfortable, and, with a bathroom in each of the bedrooms, it allowed my wife and I to get ready at the same time! The adirondacks and whiskey barrel table on the back porch were a blessing each morning as we could sit out there and drink our coffee in the warm chelan breeze! We also made great use of the smokeless fire pit on the patio, where we sipped our old fashioned’s as the sun went down. We encountered only one issue - where initially, our door code would not work, but the staff at the office came over immediately to try to resolve the issue and give us a way in. When they saw we may have locked ourselves out permanently for the weekend through the code, they made sure we had a manual key to get in which we were 100% happy with!The worst part of the entire weekend, was when we had to leave it to go back to our house - we had such a happy relaxing perfect weekend in such a beautifully decorated home and we can’t WAIT to go back again soon!
