History of the Watson’s and the Resort
It has been well over 100 years since J. Howard Watson first set foot on what would be Watson's Harverene Resort. It was a winter day on Feb. 8, 1892 when J. Howard Watson, a long time newspaper man, posted his claim on property located at First Creek.
Reviews
Beautiful location
The "only" place to stay at Lake Chelan if you are looking for a place to kick back and relax. Beautiful location without all the chaos of the bigger name resorts - yet everything you need is within easy reach. Wonderful staff and wonderfully maintained units and grounds.

Getting together as a family
We have many fond memories of our stays at Watson's but most important is our getting together as a family for a whole week to just have fun and relax and enjoy each other. We love the adults only time in the pool between 2:00PM and 4:00PM. Thanks.

Quality time
Both our sons grew up spending their summers at Watson's. Now our son Todd has a place at Watson's and we have a chance to spend some quality time with our grandchildren.
