We had a great vacation at Driftin’ Cabanas. The condo was clean and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and stress free. The owners were easy to contact and were very responsive to our questions. The pool was nice and the bbqs were very clean. Shout out to all the good people of Chelan who came to our aid when we had some car trouble. What a beautiful, clean and friendly town! Would definitely recommend!

We love this spot- it’s just perfect! This is our daughters’ second year staying in this location during our annual trip to Chelan, and it’s been exactly what we needed. They’re both college students, and one is still working on a class, so she needed reliable and steady internet- which they had. Perfectly easy to walk to the marina or our campsite (City campground entrance is right across the street!) or really anywhere in town. A/C was amazing during the 98 degree days! They didn’t use the pool this year (dyed hair) but it’s steps from the back door so they could have easily. Everything was clean and comfortable. Geoff even checked in mid-week to see if we needed anything! Overall great experience, and the kids have requested we book again for next year, which I plan to if I can! Thank you thank you thank you for another wonderful year of memories and an easy and comfortable stay for my kids.

The space and the location were perfect. The unit is located directly across from Don Morse Park, next to a grocery store, and with an easy/fast walk to downtown. The parking is superb, and just off the main road. The unit itself was clean, with a full kitchen, ample towels, and the most comfortable bed I've experienced in a rental unit. Even with multiple other units in the building, sound didn't carry, so the stay was quiet and comfortable. The hosts were super-responsive and informative. We'll definitely be booking this space for our next stay in Chelan.

This is a sweet little condo right in the heart of Chelan. It was perfect for a family of four. The pool and easy access to the lake, marina, park, bowling, shops, and restaurants was just what we wanted.

We stayed here last week, and we had a blast! From the moment of booking and during our stay, Geoff was great. He answered all of our questions and made sure we had everything we needed. Check in and out process was quick and simple, and we had no trouble during our stay. The cabana is close to town so walking to places was not bad! We stayed in Unit 6; it was bigger than expected and super clean. Rooms were big and roomy, and the balcony looking out to the lake and town was great! All the rooms had Roku devices, so streaming our shows was a nice bonus! There is also a washer and dryer, which was awesome, they also leave complimentary detergent for you too. Highly recommend staying here, we are actually already planning our stay for next year. :)
