Information from Casia Lodge & Ranch

Casia Lodge & Ranch announced its one year anniversary of providing unparalleled luxury and hospitality to Washington State’s picturesque Methow Valley. Situated in the heart of Twisp, Washington, the boutique hotel, restaurant and ranch has quickly risen to prominence as the region’s premier destination for travelers seeking and unforgettable experience infused with warmth, sophistication, and culinary excellence. 

Originally known as the iconic Tice Ranch, Casia Lodge & Ranch was acquired by owner Kevin Flamm in February 2023 and has since become a beloved new destination for food enthusiasts and travelers from near and far. Since its opening to the public last spring, it has remained committed to offering guests the finest luxury accommodations, locally sourced fine dining and impeccable service, led by Managing Partners - and husband and wife team - Chef Jason Wilson and Deborah Friend Wilson. A James Beard Award-winner and Seattle restaurateur, Chef Jason brings his signature seasonal cuisine to the lodge’s Veranda restaurant and Olde English Pub showcasing the vibrant flavors of the Methow Valley and highlighting ingredients from local farmers and purveyors. 

“Our menus are in a constant state of evolution,” said Chef Jason. “When you only offer what’s local and what’s fresh, flexibility is the name of the game. The flavors of the Methow are so unique and diverse, and we love being able to showcase local farmers and contribute to the economic health of our local community.” 

Casia Lodge & Ranch boasts a diverse array of activities and seasonal amenities for guests to enjoy, including its popular Sunday High Tea by the fireplace, on-site horseback riding and fly-fishing excursions, guided bird, wildlife and nature walks by local ecologists and private and group cooking classes. “There are so many unique activities and attractions in the Methow Valley,” said Deborah Friend Wilson. “The truth is, however, we also love the fact that we can bring all of these amazing local experiences to guests without ever having to leave the property.” 

Nestled on a sprawling 300-acre property, Casia Lodge & Ranch offers 12 elegantly appointed guest rooms, many featuring wood burning fireplaces and private walk-out decks or balconies. Guests are invited to enjoy a year-round outdoor hot tub, private pond, heated outdoor swimming pool, sauna, game room, movie theatre, library and outdoor covered picnic areas. Breakfast, featuring house baked pastries, granolas, charcuterie and savory egg dishes, is included with every overnight stay. 

Visitors can also immerse themselves in the abundant nature surrounding the lodge, with opportunities to encounter resident populations of birds, deer and aquatic life along its bordering Beaver Creek. The property also boasts prolific orchards with varieties of apples, pears, cherries and apricots, which regularly appear on the restaurant’s menu. “There’s nothing quite like being able to harvest and showcase the vibrancy of seasonal ingredients from your own backyard,” said Chef Jason. 

With expansive indoor and outdoor event spaces, Casia Lodge & Ranch is also the perfect venue for weddings, corporate retreats, family reunions and private celebrations. Whether hosting an intimate gathering or a grand affair, guests enjoy elegant rustic architecture and stunning backdrops of the region’s natural beauty combined with immaculate, personalized touches from a lauded team of hospitality professionals. “We work hard to ensure that every stay and every experience here is nothing short of extraordinary,” said Friend Wilson. 

Casia Lodge & Ranch even has its own resident lodge cat, Charlie. A flame point Siamese rescue from the Seattle Humane Society, Charlie has quickly captured the hearts of visitors and feline enthusiasts all round the world thanks to his charming antics, easy going personality, and social media fanbase.
