About this property

Earthlight 5 - On Top of The World

The villa on top of the world! Earthlight™ is built high atop Pioneer Ridge near Orondo, Washington. With sweeping views of the Columbia River, our unique homes are specifically designed to experience the combination of luxury living and the beauty of nature. Relax in our hot tub while watching the sun descend behind the snowy mountains. Explore our wild trekking paths in spring and summer, and snowshoe through the hills in winter. Watch the deer wander by. Earthlight™ has it all, and then some.



This villa is ideal for a romantic get-away for two guests. Our completely open floor plan features a glass shower, free-standing tub, and modern kitchen all with panoramic views of snow capped mountains and the river below. Our deck is legendary - soak in the views from the jacuzzi or our lounge chairs, and cozy up in front of the fire pit. All of these are specially designed for you and your loved one to enjoy, with total privacy.



Even though Earthlight™ feels utterly secluded, the historic town of Waterville is just 15 minutes away. Head over for some shopping or have lunch with friends. Should you wish to travel further afield, Earthlight™ is about 40 minutes by car to Wenatchee, 45 minutes to Chelan, and 1 hour to Leavenworth.
