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.

I highly recommend using Methow Reservations. Unlike the other standard booking services, you can…read moretalk 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.

Stayed here with a group of friends. Immensely comfortable place to hang for an extended weekend!…read moreAmple rooms and places to relax or work. The conference room table downstairs would be pretty epic for a team offsite. The views are stellar and to have the river as the backdrop to the entire stay was superb! Some attention to details would make things a bit better, such as ensuring there are no spiders or their webs in the showers. The A-frame "annex" staircase is super noisy so there's no discrete way to go up or down those stairs for others that are sleeping. Also, the Wi-Fi struggles to maintain a signal in that loft area, and thankfully my Apple TV and other devices did okay regardless. A second node over on that side would strengthen that easily. Would recommend to stay there for sure, hoping we can do it again sometime.

We hosted our wedding at the Riverside Vacation Home on September 21 and invited family and friends…read moreto stay at the Vacation Home & Riverside Cabin from September 20-23. During our stay, we took full advantage of all the amenities (hot tubs, fire pits, volleyball court, ping pong table, etc) and had a fabulous time. The wedding ceremony and reception both took place out on the lawn beside the river and we had the best weather and most gorgeous backdrop. My husband and I stayed in the Loft Suite which was nice and private and also perfect for Mario Kart tournaments in the downstairs section (we brought our Nintendo Switch and hooked it up to their projector). These homes are huge, beautiful, and well stocked for any sort of gathering. Julie was my point person during the booking process and stay and was helpful, friendly, and easy to get a hold of. She responded quickly to all of my questions and even delivered flowers to the vacation home that had been delivered to her own home (an extra ~30 min drive each way for her). She went out of her way to make sure that our weekend was special and she succeeded in every way possible! We could not have been happier with our stay at Riverside Properties and will definitely plan to come back in the future.

We loved this stay! It's very very remote and be sure to pay attention to the listing description…read moreabout the primitive road to be sure you can make it to the location. The hobbit house was very whimsical and adorably crafted. The fireplace worked well. There's electricity via a generator and primitive plumbing but no kitchenette or anything. We brought a little electric griddle that we prepped our seven hobbit meals on, and that worked well. The woodwork and ornate door is beautiful, and I loved the cute bathroom. We tried to fill the tub, but there isn't enough hot water to do it, and the draining is a bit complicated. Knowledge of how to operate a generator and problem solve electrical and plumbing issues may make your stay more enjoyable. No mention of the generator was in the listing, so when we checked in, we weren't sure at first why we didn't have electricity. We read the house book in detail, and luckily my husband is super handy and got us running. Despite the generator working, we still lost power and plumbing pressure more than once, and he was running outside in the chilly hobbit air to fix them. It didn't dampen our experience at all.. it was like camping, but it should be in the listing in case you aren't as handy as my husband is. Had I been there alone, I would have been in trouble for sure!

Here and back again. A journey definitely worth taking…read more You don't need to travel to New Zealand to visit The Shire. The adventure to Middle Earth is here in Washington State! I never knew such a place can exist in the PNW but anything is possible right? Location: A few miles past Chelan (on HWY US-97 North) two miles up the switchback gravel dirt road and tucked into the hillside to the left lies The LOTR inspired Hobbit Hole. It is about a 3-3.5 hour drive from Seattle. Parking: There is a designated parking spot reserved for the Airbnb. You will have to take a very short but steep walk to the entrance. Ambiance: I felt like I was in Bilbo Baggins house. Kristie (the Airbnb host) did an amazing job with every single detail. From the garden setup with a small picket fence on the outside to the cozy, non-modern wood crafted set up on the inside. The place was very clean, well prepared and well themed. The fireplace is the only source for heat but you only need to turn it on for a few minutes to warm up the entire place. We were served with fresh baked cookies as a greeting. A few items that are provided are herbal tea, coffee, water, an electric kettle, drinking mugs, toiletries, disposable wooden silverwares and a few games. Also provided is a station for wood chiseling if you want to tap into your creative side. This hobbit hole is very small and intimate, a perfect getaway for couples. View: Beautiful views looking through the hobbit door of the Columbia River Gorge Mountainside! Note: You will definitely get a feel of Middle Earth since it's a few miles from civilization. No wifi or cellphone service in the Hobbit Hole. I was able to get a little reception from Verizon at the parking spot. The septic tank goes off once in awhile and it can be a little noisy but nothing unbearable. The ceiling decoration above the bed is very low. If you a LOTR fanatic, then this is something to check out!

My family and I rented this place for a few days after Christmas and wow, were we impressed. As we…read morewere traveling with 3 families - a total of 7 adults, and 3 kids under 5 - we were able to bring 3 cars with us. The rental was spacious with one master, and two additional bedrooms. One bedroom had both a bunkbed and a queen size bed. In addition, there was a pullout sofa bed in the living room. The kitchen had all the necessities we needed. In fact, I could have baked something if I knew baking ware was included. And all of the cooking pans, tools and other kitchen amenities were of quality. No scratches on the pans as I normally see in other places we have rented. The view was stunning as it was the water and mountain that took the view. Not even a 5 minute walk, there are a bunch of bars/wineries and food options to peruse. And about 20-30 minutes drive in/out are the larger, fancier wineries. There was also a casino in the area as well. The price tag is a bit on the higher end but is doable for bigger groups so as to split the cost. I would certainly recommend this place and would love to return. Communication between the property manager and I were prompt, which I appreciate very much.

The kitchen had all the necessary utensils, plates, cups, pots, and pans. In one of the mornings, we even made pancakes! Bathrooms were large enough which was nice especially in a large group. Red Apples was about 10 min away. Beware though, if you're hungry in the middle of the night, make sure to stock up in the fridge because their grocery stores are not 24-hours like in Seattle. Fortunately, I brought enough beef jerkeys. We didn't have time to explore Downtown Mason, but that was only two blocks away. Boat and other water activities rentals were also two blocks away which was great! We rented a boat and went on a winery tour in Chelan. Downtown Chelan was about 30 minutes away from where we stayed at, but the drive wasn't too bad. You do need to take out the trash and put in a load into the laundry machine before you leave though. I think that's normal if you're renting for a few days. The only downside was the noise upstair. There was another bachelorette party above us so I was able to hear them in the middle of the night whilst I was trying to sleep. However, the noise wasn't too bad since the other gals in my group slept quite well. I was just a light sleeper. Debbie, our main source of contact was very professional. We were able to check in early. Tracey, I think that was her name, was very helpful as well. Our code to get into our place didn't work so we had to get another code. Tracey, who was there when we arrived, made sure that we had a code that worked. But other than that, I would definitely come again with my family. If only they accept small dogs. I would definitely bring my Maltese if they allow it. :)

The site is beautiful and Carl and Heidi provided a pleasant and easy experience for myself and my family. Any time I needed to stop by the venue (which is also where they live!)

Although Greens Landing is relatively new to the Chelan Wedding Scene, they will go far in the future and this place is already in High Demand. With multiple locations for ceremonies and reception sites, this venue is one of those places every bride dreams about. I can, without a doubt, provide a 5 star rating to Greens Landing Weddings & Events. The staff is professional, thoughtful and hardworking-they do exactly what they say they will do.
