Tumble Creek Homes - Are you interested in buying a full time or second home in Suncadia’s exclusive gated community of Tumble Creek? 
by Realtor Courtney Cooper Neese January 2025
Tumble Creek is appealing for many reasons and is surrounded by four seasons of beauty. We just love it. There are some stunningly beautiful Tumble Creek homes available right now and all of them are well appointed and in different price ranges depending on what you are looking for. First of all - many have heard of Tumble Creek and Suncadia, but not everyone realizes that Tumble Creek is part of Suncadia. There is a separate entrance off of Bull Frog Road and it is gated and secure. Tumble Creek is a private community within the resort. The interesting thing is that if you purchase in Tumble Creek then you are also becoming a part of the greater Suncadia. Here are some of the questions that Tumble Creek home buyers want to know about when looking at Tumble Creek homes -
If I live in Tumble Creek can I access Suncadia swim facilities?
This is the question I get asked most often and it confused me as well. Many people are not aware of the fantastic swim facility within Tumble Creek Club itself, but there is a lap pool, leisure pull, and spa in The Hill House within Tumble Creek’s borders. It is a private facility for members only. If you purchase a home in Tumble Creek then plan on purchasing a Golf Membership or a Honolulu Membership. Both provide you access to the swim, fitness, tennis, club, and spa facilities of Tumble Creek Club. In addition, you have access to the Suncadia facilities. When you purchase your Tumble Creek home, you will want to choose a membership package to take full advantage of being in the neighborhood. Currently there is a deposit and a monthly fee for both.
If I don’t have a Tumble Creek Club Golf membership can I play golf once in a while?
Yes - you can play with a member on the course as a member guest with a fee in Tumble Creek. The Golf Membership deposit is currently at $60,000, so if you are not a golfer you may opt for the $15,000 current deposit for the Honolulu Membership in TCC instead which provides you with the other club facilities as well as Suncadia’s amenities.
Can I still access the walking/biking paths of Suncadia if I purchase in Tumble Creek?
YES! Tumble Creek is part of Suncadia! You can cross the bridge to the Riverfront Park and take the 1000 steps up to the lodge. In addition to the beautiful trail and park system in Suncadia, there is also an expansive trail system behind the gates of Tumble Creek, too! It is paved and starts at Riverfront park and goes all the way to Domerie Park. We have a cool map of the trails if you are interested in learning more about that. The West River Trail is a highlight,plus there is a paved trail that runs from about the Tumble Creek Bridge along Tumble Creek Drive all the way to Domerie Park and then trails off through the Paintbrush Lakes. It’s truly a paradise and it is surrounded by paradise.
Why Tumble Creek vs. Suncadia?
The amenities of both parts of Suncadia are amazing. Some people prefer Tumble Creek because it offers more privacy within the community. Suncadia homes are beautiful and the lots are well appointed, but it has a large transient population and sometimes The Lodge is packed. With The Great House and The Hill House Tumble Creek offers a more private members only club experience. Tumble Creek offers a quicker commute to i90, but a longer commute to close by communities of Ronald, Roslyn, and Cle Elum. These commutes can sometimes be interrupted by a stunning herd of elk crossing the road, but that is part of the charm and the type of traffic jam we prefer around here. .
But will the community of Tumble Creek always be this wide open?
It is readily apparent as you drive through the Tumble Creek community that it is not fully built out so will the great amount of open space always be there? The majority of the Tumble Creek lots are larger than many in Suncadia and the population overall is not as dense. As vacant lots are scooped up and built on, the feeling of openness will still prevail because there are fewer parcels in Tumble Creek and it is all centered around the beautiful golf course. Building is continuous, but according to last count there were 277 homes built and 240 vacant lots. There are also three future plats planned for Tumble Creek over the next decade, but plats in Tumble tend to be lower parcel count than plats in Suncadia. Even fully built out Tumble Creek is going to feel more wide open than you would expect.
The natural setting of the entire region is stunning so if Tumble Creek Club is not for you, then please consider some of the other nearby communities. They each have a lot to offer and I am happy to show you my favorite spots in any of them and tour homes for sale with you. - Courtney call/text 206-850-8841 [email protected] instagram: @roslynliving
