Bright Home with Lakeview Wraparound Decks, Seasonal Pool and Game Room

Above the Bay Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Perched over the glittering bay of Lake Chelan, Above the Bay Retreat is a remarkable two-story Manson vacation home offering many of the must-have amenities you deserve in a great getaway. Enjoy a private seasonal pool, game room, four TVs, and a wraparound deck with views for miles.

Within a short stroll you can visit scenic Manson Bay Park and Marina, which has picnic spots and 32 boat slips. Less than a mile away is the town of Manson itself with restaurants, wine tasting rooms reflecting the area's vineyards, shops, and provisions at the weekly farmer's market.

Featuring modern decor with pops of color and character throughout, you'll feel at ease. Start on the wraparound deck where you can grill up a family meal. From the lower deck, you have access to the private pool lined with lounge chairs.

Inside, the great room allows everyone to gather over dinner, a movie on the flatscreen TV, or board games while the sun sets outside the wall of windows. The kitchen area features a breakfast bar, tools, appliances, and a gorgeous banquet-style dining table. Head downstairs to the game room for Ping-Pong and foosball plus a kitchenette so you don't have to run around the house for a glass of water or a snack.

From Benson Vineyards Estate (four miles away) to Tsillan Winery on the other side of the lake, and the town of Chelan nine miles southeast, you'll have so much exploring to do beyond the lake. Dine, shop, stroll, or indulge.

Your next Lake Chelan vacation rental should be a memorable one, so make it happen at Above the Bay!

The Pool is open in the Summer from May through September (Approximately) **Weather Dependent**

This home had a fully stocked kitchen and a huge amount of space. The closets were very large with plenty of room for a pack n play. The pool was a highlight and had a deep section over 5 ft in the middle. Great location in Manson. Would stay again.

Awesome stay, needs more showers for the amount of guests that can fit in the house
We enjoyed our three days in this home and Chelan. We had a well stocked kitchen and were able to cook a couple of meals. The only think we would fix is to have a shower in the second king room for couples privacy or at least another bathroom downstairs so the couples in that room don’t have to go up the stairs in the middle of the night or go to the occupied second king room. The shower head downstairs has poor water pressure as it’s old and rusted. Otherwise the house is cozy, the hot tub was a big hit because it was cold this weekend. We enjoyed our time with family😊

Nice spacious house with lots of amenities in a great location!
The location of this property is great! Walking distance to many of the cute wine tasting rooms in Manson. Beautiful views, nice big porch with grill & dining area, great kitchen and comfy living room for hanging out. The house is huge and definitely good for groups. We would book again! Only constructive feedback would be for the hot tub - it could use a deep cleaning. Thanks!

Sweet spot for changing times
We had a wonderful stay in this home. It was 3 different families and to have the pool and hot tub during covid with an awesome view of the lake, let us stay put AND enjoy a great summer vacation. It's a short walk to the beach park and we went early in the morning before people arrived and it's a really short trip to the grocery store for things we forgot. A large yard to play frisbee on and a nice big table that sat 8 for outside dining every night. Best stocked kitchen of any rental we have been in- citrus squeezers, baking pans, salad spinners, a blender. Everyone mentioned the issue where the lower back bedroom does not have a bathroom and the other showers are through other people's bedrooms but the half bath off the kitchen is great to have and we made it work. The A/C was great, the propane tanks were full and they left us an extra. They did mention there was recycling at the grocery store but that is no longer a thing so either pack out your own recycling or put it in the trash. Highly recommended!

GREAT house. Needs minor adjustments
There's a lot to love about this house. The location in Manson was perfect for our group; much quieter than the bustling town of Chelan, yet easy walk to Manson city center. The view from the sprawling deck is incomparable. Perfect for morning coffee and afternoon wine sessions. However, there are a couple of details that need a bit more attention. Small things like enough wine glasses and drinking glasses for the max number of people it can house (10), or a functioning can opener. We had a few issues with lights suddenly not turning on in some rooms. Fortunately we were able to troubleshoot these ourselves. Collectively, our group's biggest complaint had to do with the quality of the mattresses. Everyone (ages 15-50) complained about this issue. It was uncomfortable enough so that we were counting down the minutes until it was time to get up - not a feeling we'd want while on vacation. Still, the pros were enough for us to consider returning next summer. Though hopefully the owners consider upgrading the bedding situation.

Well Worth It
The house was in excellent condition when we arrived and extremely clean. The location is great, and the view from the deck is amazing. Only complaint was the check-out time being advertised incorrectly. VRBO and the check out instructions said 11am, while Vacasa told us 10am. Not a big deal, but they should probably update this.

Beautiful but some issues
The house and pool were lovely but there was a broken toilet which they knew about. There was a lot of broken glass in the pool and some on the patio that my child cut her foot on three times after we tried to clean it! There were some landscapers that came by that were strange and kind of sketchy. If the bathroom worked and they had cleaned the glass up it would have been a five star experience.

Wonderful property!
Great property with many amenities! Pros - Lots of amenities, tons of space for kids, warm-ish pool, hot tub, and large rooms! Within walking distance of wineries in Manson as well. Cons - not many, but some of the showers lacked water pressure, sprayed water in weird directions, or dripped for hours after use. Highly recommend this property!

The three stars are for the big space , many rooms, beautiful view, deck, two kitchen and large yard
We came four families with a target to have two master bedrooms. There is actually only one master bedroom with a quin size bed. Downstairs One master bedroom that shares the master bath with the other two bedrooms. You had to cross one bedroom in order to get to the other bedroom which caused privacy problrms. Same issue upstairs where there were another two bedrooms were you had to cross one to use the other bedroom 's shower. Wifi didnt work the whole time during our stay also when we called to report the issue the person came the next day and was not able to fix the wifi issue so there was no internet connection. For a 10 guests house we has only a towel and half per person which was not enough at all including the use of pool although they did come the next day and provided more towels. The worse was the poor maintenance of the cleaning! There is dust everywhere, there was old food under tge beds and sofas ( probably feom previouse renters) ig seems they only clean whats visible. One swin size bed base is broken. My mother that is alergic to dust mites had to use her nebulizer everyday. And the people that weren't allergic were all sneezing eventually. We couldn't use tge hot tub since it was geossly dirty and again they came only tge next day to clean it and become they used chemicals to clean it we coukdnt use it anyway the rest of our vacation time. The house has a great potential but thise issues need to be taken care of in order for people to enjoy and want to come back to this property. Hopefully the owners will take care of these issues

Fun house
The house was very clean with ample room for our group though we ate in 2 shifts as the table was not large enough for everyone. We were able to work around the awkward layout of bathrooms in 3 bedrooms, but none in the 4th. The frustration was that we had spotty wifi and internet.

Great house!
Big enough for all 10 of us.. Pool and hot tub really made it a great get away. Only negative was the mattresses - very hard. Need to add mattress toppers and they would be fine. Pool area needs a descent table (current one is ready to fall apart) with an umbrella.

Great pool, outside area, location, and view.
Had a great time and the number of rooms and beds worked well for four adults and seven kids. However the appliances could not keep up. For example, the toaster requires that you hold the handle down the entire time. Or, some of the pots are so warped that they do not warm up properly. Also, we did not use the downstairs shower due to the stream of water that comes out of the ceiling when using the shower above it. The location, pool, and view are great but some of the issues in the house definitely affected the experience.

Much that is lovely but a few odd bits
We had a fantastic family time here with highlights including the spacious pool; huge yard for volleyball and croquet in the evenings; well stocked kitchen for big dinners and it was very clean. The biggest challenge was the set up for the bedrooms and bathrooms - it was awkward for people downstairs to have to go through some one else's bedroom or all the way upstairs to use a bathroom in the night. Walking through the bunk bed room to get to another bedroom (upstairs) meant some one was being woken up. Also, the shower in that back bedroom dripped loudly and continuously; the handle for the cold water in the sink wasn't functioning properly; the kitchen sink fixture literally came off its moorings every time we used it. There are parts of the house that are updated and other parts that show their wear.
