Every proprietor of bed and breakfast accommodations likes to think they offer a “refuge” to guests. In the case of the Run of the River Inn & Refuge, that word is part of the name. The title is well earned. The area surrounding the lodging in Leavenworth, Washington is a stopover for migratory birds and the home of animals such as deer, foxes, bobcats, and bears. The setting with those wildlife viewing opportunities is a big part of the attraction of Run of the River, situated about a mile from the town square of Leavenworth, but offering a remarkably remote feel.

A lot of places like to promote a mixture of rustic charm and luxurious touches. That's certainly true of the Run of the River Inn & Refuge, where breakfast is delivered to each guest.

Deer are among the inhabitants of the area right outside the lodging. The Inn's operators work with Chelan County and the Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife to maintain the sanctuary for birds and animals.
