Memorial Day Weekend used to be a NIGHTMARE in Lake Chelan, and trust us, we’ve seen it all!
Between all-night ragers, run-ins with the police, sand scattered across the hotel rooms, and debauchery we wouldn’t dare memorialize in a blog, Memorial Day Weekend at Lake Chelan used to be party central.
Well, not anymore! These days, things look slightly different, and MUCH more relaxed.
If you still have nightmares from the Memorial Days of yore, you’ll be happy to know that it’s become one of the best weekends to relax and rejuvenate with family and friends.
Here’s what Memorial Day Weekend looks like in 2025—and why you’ll definitely want to get your summer started with a whole weekend of family-friendly fun at Mountain View Lodge!
Psst…we have a great booking discount for your weekend as well! Book two nights and get your third night 50% off! See the details here.
Activities for the Whole Family

Memorial Day Weekend marks the start of all sorts of seasonal fun! Slidewaters and Lakeside Surf open for the summer and are perfect spots to take the kiddos for an afternoon of water-themed excitement.
Don’t forget boat and jet-ski rentals! You’re just a short walk from Mountain View Lodge to the marina, making rentals a breeze. Pack a picnic and make it a full day on the lake while you soak in the sunshine and good vibes.
Plus, Antheia of Chelan is open for yoga, tea, and flowers on Sunday, May 25th. Start your day off right with garden-side yoga before enjoying tea time and garden tours of the expansive property. Pre-made bouquets will also be available for purchase! Yoga, tea, and flowers, what could be more relaxing?!
For the gamers in the group, you have two awesome options in Manson. Stop into Diffraction for ice cream and retro arcade games, or The Secret Lair for board games, role-playing games, and live-hosted events! There’s no better way to beat the heat while bonding with friends and family.
