Sustainable Leavenworth Resort

Designed with the Environment in Mind

Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort has long been known for sustainable and ecologically minded practices that protect the vital natural resources of the Leavenworth region. The resort site was once the location of the Civilian Conservation Corps, known as Camp Icicle, during the 1930s and 1940s. When Harriet Bullitt purchased the land in 1991, 18 buildings which had been a part of the camp were saved and remodeled to meet or exceed current building and energy codes. New buildings were constructed to blend with the original style and the land was replanted with native vegetation.
