Three girlfriends and I stayed here the first weekend of October. This was our first time going to the Lake Chelan area for a weekend of wine tasting. This resort was centrally located on the lake and very easy to find. After a day of wine tasting we needed to relax . .the first room we were given did not... More

My wife and I spent a night at Darnell's Resort in September. We had a room on top floor with great views to the lake. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The shower was tiny indeed, but we didn't care for that. The room décor was simple, but pleasant and not kitsch. The Resort has... More

I just returned from a totally relaxing 3 days at Darnells and can say that I am very happy that the Raines Family is once again in charge! They have upgraded the grounds along with the rooms and you will find the staff at the Resort are extremely friendly and accomodating as we had several conversations with them and even... More

We've stayed at Darnell's multiple times with our two kids. The place itself is definitely a bit on the "dumpy" side but the the rooms are clean and the grounds and the location are fantastic. We can kind of set the kids loose, while we sit and read a book and soak up some sun. The kids love the little... More

I just checked in and was pleasantly surprised based on the reviews I had read. I was invited to a large annual family reunion that takes place here. I would have normally stayed elsewhere (like campbell's) given reviews of this place. The rooms are spacious and we had two units. 211/217. Both were lake view. Great outdoor play areas for... More

Here's what you get for $250/night - we stayed Labor Day Weekend 2010 and LEFT AFTER ONE NIGHT: a hotel that hasn't had an upgrade since 1950, a lumpy yet thin mattress that's so OLD it makes noise - not TV for the parents' room - ONLY IN THE LIVING ROOM SO IF YOU LIKE TO PUT YOUR KIDS DOWN...

Darnell's has a great location right at the water with a little beach, docks, plus a pool and hottub. Overall the place needs an upgrade, everything seems from the 70s. I just needed a place to stay for the Chelan Triathlon and it was good enough for that. Staff was friendly. The water trampolin from earlier reviews is gone. More

My Mom, boyfriend and I went to the Lake the first weekend in October. Darnell's has a great little place on the lake with beach, pool, dock and hot tub. However, beyond the control of the resort, there were these horrible hydro-boat races that were the loudest and most annoying things EVER! But the patio table was nice, and the... More

Not like the old days. Pool didn't seem to be heated. BBQ's were not maintained. Kitchen was old and stove didn't work very well. Room was marginal. I would stay and another location next time. More
