These gardens are spectacular testimony to a family with a dream. Read about the history of this family and their dreams. In 1929 Herman Ohme and his bride Ruth purchased forty acres of land for an orchard. Included was a craggy, dry, desolate, rock-strewn bluff with a breathtaking view of the snow-capped Cascade Mountains and the shimmering Columbia River valley. The Ohmes loved to stand on the bluff and dream of flourishing alpine meadows, shimmering pools and shady evergreen pathways where the hot, relentless summer sun allowed only sage and scrub desert growth. They set their minds on achieving that dream. The majestic Cascade Mountains provide a spectacular backdrop as you discover the many paths though the garden enjoying the breathtaking views and magical atmosphere. There is a small fee to enjoy the gardens that supports keeping this local treasure open to the public. Also once a year you can stroll through the gardens sampling exquisite foods provided by restaurants of this region and taste the outstanding wines from local wineries. Check out dates for this unique and memorable evening. vvv Tumwater Mountain Hike
This hike in right behind the Haus; yes our own backyard. Enjoy beautiful vistas of the valley less than ten minutes into the hike. As you advance in elevation the views become even more spectacular. The reward is at the top at the 5 mile mark where you crest the summit and can look down at the Tumwater Canyon that trails into Leavenworth from Steven Pass. These views are incredible and the trail is very accommodating to people with little or no hiking experience. Best of all, when you come back down you can head right into the pool, that is what I, Innkeeper Mike, regularly enjoy. Snowshoeing or cross country skiing this trail in the winter is even more rewarding with the outdoor hot tub awaiting to massage your invigorated muscles. vvvvvvvvvvvv The Old Covered Cascade Railroad

Enjoy the scenary of the North Cascades in Lake Chelan and visit Stahekin which is a small town at the end of the 50 mile long lake. You can take the Lady of the Lake cruise up to Stahekin and take the float plane back. vvv The Old Pipe Line Trail
This hike is easy and has real history. Back in the early 1900s there was a wooden pipe line that supplied water to a small hydroelectric plant. This plant produced electricity to power electric train cars up the canyon. The bridge that crosses the Tumwater Canyon is the steel portion of the pipe line cut in half and filled with dirt to provide a pedestrian walkway. As you follow the trail you get to the end and there is a secret there. You have to stay at Haus Rohrbach to find out that secret that Mike will share with you. This area is also a great place to go in the fall and see the salmon at the end of their journey to lay eggs. We visit there often and see the salmon come right up to the shore where you can really see their size and appreciate these marvelous creatures. vvv Leavenworth Guide Tour This tour takes a little advance notice so if you want to take this tour you have to let us know early.

vvvvvvvvvvvv Parasailer landing in our yard Lately we have had parasailers landing in the yard. They hike the Tumwater Mountain behind Haus Rohrbach and then take off from the highest point. They sail on the thermals off the Tumwater Mountain fly right over our pool as they make a perfect landings; they make it look so easy! I don't think I'll be trying this too soon no matter how fun it looks!!
