I highly recommend using Methow Reservations. Unlike the other standard booking services, you can talk to a local person about specific lodging requests. They are personable, professional and knowledgeable. If you leave a message they actually follow-up. Dollars go back into this magical community and keep corporations out. After coming to the Methow Valley for over ten years and always using them, I cannot say enough about them. They definitely stand apart from other booking services. read more

Central Reservations not only is THE source for lodging information and booking in the Methow Valley, it is a wonderful way to link all the small B&Bs, Inns, houses for rent, etc. to the broader public. They know what they're doing and are incredibly helpful. Yes, there are other ways, but for Mazama and Winthrop, Central Reservations (Methow Valley Central Reservations) is the way to go. read more

Central Res is the absolute expert on the Methow Valley. There is no one more informed and knowledgable about 'The Valley' when it comes to finding the perfect place to stay.

The only way I'd book a stay in the Methow Valley. We've had a few experiences with Central Reservations in the past two years and when there was a water outage at our cabin about 6 months ago, the team worked with us to ensure we were happy, comfortable, and taken care of, not only then, but for a future stay. You cannot find better, proactive customer service. Highly recommend! read more

I have stayed in two Methow Reservations properties on three different occasions, and I've always had a great experience. The first two times were during prime wildfire season and the fires got close to where I had planned to stay, but they called me beforehand and offered to reschedule me without any hassle. After my first stay had been postponed due to the fires, I got really sick, and they again allowed me to reschedule without any trouble. I visited the Methow Valley again this winter and the process was absolutely seamless. read more

A quick update to my review from the Spring. We had another great stay in Methow Valley. This Central Reservations went way over the top in helping us. We booked a cabin in Mazama as we usually do, but as the date approached, the Diamond Creek wildfire advanced toward Mazama and the evacuation level was raised to 2. There was never any real danger, and the local people took it in stride, but being city-folk my wife and I freaked. We considered cancelling the trip, but the great folks at Central Reservations offered to switch us to a place in Winthrop (~15 miles away but well out of the fire zone). They also let us delay our decision to the last minute in case the fire abated. In the end, we took them up on their offer, switched to Winthrop, and had a great time. Thanks, Central Reservations! For the benefit of folks not from the Northwest, wildfires are common during the dry season. This particular fire was burning in a wilderness area 11 miles north of Mazama and proceeding further north into Canada. The fire never directly threatened Mazama. The fire managers are very cautious in setting evacuation levels. Level 2 means there's a potential for the situation to become dangerous and folks should be prepared to evacuate promptly if required. They raised the level to 2 when the winds shifted and there was a chance the fire might advance over a ridge and down a creek bed toward the town. This didn't happen and the evacuation level was reduced in a few days, in fact, the day after we arrived in the area. read more

Central Reservations is a very high quality service for booking lodging in the Methow Valley. We have used this service for many years on muliple bookings/year.

I have used Central Reservations for many years whenever my friends and I go to the Methow Valley, usually for a cross country ski trip that includes hanging out together and sharing meals in a house or cabin. Their website is great; easy to find what places meets our needs w/re pets, number of bedrooms, etc., and they also provide great personal service. I usually use AirBNB for other places in the world when I want some kind of specialized accommodation other than a standard hotel room, but for the Methow Valley my friends and I only use Central Reservations. read more

We rented the J & D Guesthouse throw Methow Reservations for an early summer vacation and were initially very excited about our time in Winthrop on the river. However, we were never made aware, at any time, that this property was also dual-use public boat launch. Since we have been at this rental, we have had 3+ vehicles randomly come through our private rental entrance and launch their boats in the river behind our rental house (on the rental property in which we paid for). We have small children and expensive property that we brought to this rental, but with strangers walking through the property on a daily basis, we do not feel safe and comfortable staying here. When we called to voice our concerns to Methow Reservations, specifically the "owner" of this establishment, we were met with shocking hostility, disrespect and unprofessional language. The lack of customer service, overall awareness of the situation and compassion for our legitimate concerns was saddening and we will encourage all family and friends in the future to take their business elsewhere. read more

Very happy with Methow Reservations. The service was easy to use, and helped us find a lovely place to stay in Winthrop. The check-in instructions they sent were clear and easy to follow. The Purple Sage unit we stayed in was charming and comfortable, with a surprisingly well-stocked kitchen and a deck overlooking the river -- an excellent value for the price. I will definitely turn to Methow Reservations the next time I visit the area. read more

We have used Central Reservations twice and highly recommend them. In this day and age of online reservations, their site is easy to navigate and are quick with confirmations. They even offer accommodations that are not on VRBO or TripAdvisor. They offer resorts, hotels, rental homes across the Methow Valley. read more

I am updating my review to 4 stars instead of 5 because we had to reschedule and cancel one of our bookings this season and ended up incurring $78 in credit card fees through Central Reservations. The fact that they pass along the fees (4% per transaction i.e. charge, refund, etc) to the customer is fine, but please at least make the customer aware! Perhaps at the time of booking or revise the FAQ on the site that says "Central Reservations is a free service to you and does not charge any kind of booking or service fees" as that feels a bit misleading. read more

Reserving with without a hitch. It was smooth and I really enjoyed where I stayed - Bunkhouse. A friend had given me this place to reserve and I would use them all over again. read more

They were great, I was really "High Maintenance"; I had to change my travel dates, used a CC that expired before my trip. They were always helpful and gracious. read more

If you are planning on visiting any of the towns or resorts in the Methow Valley and will need a place to stay, Central Reservations is simply the best way to find the lodging that is right for you. Seriously, this area has a wide variety of lodging and the amenities and locations vary considerably. When I contacted Central Reservations, I spoke to a real person who lives in the valley and they provided me with detailed information about each place and location and gave me recommendations. I contacted them because I was going Winthrop on short notice and I couldn't find any decent lodging. Central Reservations provided me with a wide range of options, explained the amenities and locations and helped me find a charming room on the river exactly where I wanted to be and for the right price. Their service didn't end there. When I got to the room, I had difficulty with the lock. I hadn't read the instructions correctly. I called Central Reservations, spoke to someone who personally knew the unit and who resolved the issue in less than a minute without making me feel like a dunce. Very knowledgeable, personable, good service. Highly recommended. read more

We've been coming to the Methow to ski for many years, but these folks still know way more than I do about all the accommodations available. Sure I did my due diligence with the big international booking servie competitors, but for the same price you can the call folks at Central Reservations and talk to a real person who actually knows the local options and can advise you - is it REALLY walkable to the ski trails? Is it REALLY big enough for your group? How is the cell reception? Local knowledge = priceless! read more

I went through Central Reservations of Methow Valley for a stay in Winthrop. The process was as smooth as melted chocolate. The room and lodging was more than I expected. I was arriving late night so wasn't sure if I was going to experience a problem, but with their key in the lockbox check in method it was very easy. Like staying at a friends place. What a hassle-free experience. read more

Central Reservations provide the highest quality, best valued properties in the Methow Valley. Having a local property manager makes all the difference in ensuring properties are clean, in great working order and a good value. Should there be any issues (e.g. fires, floods - both of which we have experienced) in the area, they are on top of it, calling and making sure that visitors know what is going on. Can't recommend them any higher! read more

It took 16 minutes to make a simple hotel reservation. I thought I had called the hotel directly until a few minutes into the conversation it was obvious I was not talking to the hotel directly. i was okay with making a reservation with a reservation specialist until the call became excruciating. The person didnt listen to any of my answers, such as "no, i don't need a shuttle, I have my own car" Spelling my name took at least 5 times, and my name is as simple as Pat Smith. If you find you have Central Reservation online, hang up if you want to save your sanity. read more

Another fabulous vacation in Winthrop. We stayed at Bernie's on the Bluff. The cabin that is a couple of blocks from town and near the little park at the edge of town, where I walk the pup each morning and in the evening. Great location and the folks at Central Res were very generous to comp us an extra night on this trip because we had to cancel a reservation earlier this year due to a ski injury. Fall is a nice time to visit and be close to many trails where larches are in full golden glow! read more

I've been using Central Reservations for a very long time and will continue to do so. Winthrop is all about the locals and their support of you and I. Central Reservations is staffed by local home owners who live there. Nobody from another country trying to fake you out.

I would do anything to help this place remain just as genuine as it always is. read more

Central Reservations gave priceless guidance when I was recently trying to find lodging for seven families on a cross-country ski vacation. We've traveled to the Methow many times, but they were able to alert us to houses new to the system that I would have otherwise overlooked. The trip went off perfectly and everyone we was super pleased with our accommodations. All that, and they're so friendly as well! read more

1 star only because the husband and wife were so rude it was unbelievable. Went in to let them know the WiFi wasn't working and the wife belittled us calling us "you people from seattle" and said we were being "intensely angry" when we were just letting them know that it wasn't working. I was really upset by the way we were treated. We are also from a small town and were surprised by the lack of hospitality and we are not "from Seattle"and didn't expect this kind of customer service. We had a college student staying with us in our cabin who relied on the WiFi to do her studies. Plus, we booked this cabin because they said there was WiFi. The wolf creek cabins are wonderful, just expect to be treated like an outsider when dealing with the husband/wife combo. They clearly do not like out of towners. 5 stars for the cabins though. read more

Central Reservations has been our partner for 10 years. They have managed our nightly rental with professionalism and attention to all the details that keep our guests returning.

It would be impossible to try and manage our rental from a distance without Central Reservations. read more
