ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) in Lake Chelan


Accessory Dwelling Units have become one of the most popular building projects in the Lake Chelan area. Whether you need a guest cottage for visitors, a vacation rental to generate income, or a comfortable living space for aging parents, Steelhead Construction designs and builds ADUs that blend seamlessly with your existing property.

Chelan County has specific regulations governing ADU size, setbacks, and utility connections, and we handle all permitting and compliance so you don't have to worry about the details.
