About the neighborhood
Ronald’s Roost is located in a rural, mountain setting above Cle Elum Lake, surrounded by forested hillsides, open land, and expansive views. This is a quiet, low-density area known for its natural beauty, dark night skies, and close connection to the outdoors—ideal for guests seeking privacy and a true mountain escape.
Because the home is in a rural wildlife corridor, guests should expect regular wildlife activity in and around the neighborhood. It is common to see elk, deer, bear, cougar, and other native wildlife in the area.
For everyone’s safety and to protect the environment, guests are asked to:
Keep a safe distance from all wildlife
Never feed, approach, or harass animals
Secure food and trash properly at all times
Supervise children closely when outdoors
The neighborhood is residential and peaceful, with a mix of full-time locals and second homes. Please be respectful of neighbors and observe quiet hours, especially in the evenings.
While the setting feels remote, the home is still conveniently located just minutes from Cle Elum Lake and within an easy drive to Roslyn, Cle Elum, and Suncadia for dining, shopping, and services.
