Lucy Payne
General Manager, Kahler Mountain Club
[email protected]
Lucy oversees the business operations of the KMC Golf Course and Athletic Club
I have enjoyed being a part of the Kahler Glen/Lake Wenatchee community for the past nine years. My husband, Jarrett, is a volunteer firefighter for LWFR, and our two sons attend school in Leavenworth, where they are active in sports, skiing, and golf. I love all the adventures this area has to offer—from pickleball, golfing, skiing, and hiking to floating the river or simply relaxing on the beach.
One of my favorite parts of being involved with Kahler Mountain Club is getting to know our members and seeing the positive changes taking place. Now, as the General Manager of both the golf course and athletic club, I’m excited to focus on building a stronger, more vibrant future for Kahler Mountain Club.

Shayn Stanaway
Assistant Manager, Athletic Club
[email protected]
I’ve lived in Lake Wenatchee for four years after graduating college with my BA and joining the local fire department. I recently joined Kahler Mountain Club as the Assistant Manager at the Athletic Club and have really enjoyed making physical fitness a bigger part of my life—along with getting in a few rounds on the golf course. One of the highlights so far has been connecting with members and becoming part of such a friendly, active community. Outside of work, I live in a tiny house with my husband and love spending time on the lake, baking sourdough goodies, and reading in my hammock.
Louis 'Bunk' Bunkleman
Athletic Club & Pro Shop
I am married to the love of my life, Jenni. Three years ago this April, we sold everything and bought a cabin locally. We stumbled upon this little piece of heaven called Kahler Mountain Club, and we have been playing golf here ever since! The beauty surrounding us and the people we have come to know have enriched our lives beyond our wildest expectations.
My wife found work as a P.E teacher in Leavenworth. I have been blessed with the opportunity to be the assistant manager of the athletic club and also help out at the pro shop when needed. Jenni and I enjoy being part of this community and all it has to offer, such as golfing, hiking, kayaking, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, volunteering for the Fire Department and much more.
