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.

What a great city getaway! We stayed in June of 2020 to escape the drama of the world...and what a…read moregood decision it was! The tiny homes were very comfortable. Basic, but comfy. And that fireplace...it can heat the place up let me tell you! Our lovely patio looked onto the meadow where we were greeted by a deer every morning. There's lots of exploring to be done, if you go down by the huts, there's a trail to the river and lots of little paths to venture down. We were one of two families staying at first, so WIFI in cabin 6 worked just fine. When we left (on a Wednesday) lots of people were arriving. Each cabin had a porta-potty, but the bathroom was close enough that we just used that. The bathrooms were spotless and cleaned daily. My one complaint is that the pizza place opened at 2 and closed at 8 (so no coffee/espresso) and it was only a couple days a week. But that's a great way to explore Mazama and Winthop. And, if there was an emergency, no one was onsite. Pretty sure there was a bear on the premises one night, as the "bear-proof" trash area and dumpsters got ransacked, so come prepared, especially if you're camping. Will we come again? YES. Loved this spot, the quiet, the "just enough" roughing it. Safe, clean and fun!

It was easy to pull into which gave a great view out our front window and was FHU. The park has a huge dog park, bathroom/shower facilities, laundry, lodge and little store which does not have many items. The charm of the park is the beautiful views of the river and mountains and proximity to rafting, hiking, North Cascade National Park and the neat little town of Winthrop. This cute little tourist area is close to the NP and has be redone to resemble a western town with restaurants, river views, and variety of different shops. Drive up the road about two miles, put your tubes in and float down to the park. The little artist hamlet of Twisp is right down the road for shopping. They are home to Hanks Grocery store which oddly has taxidermy collection of wild animals in the store. The frozen food row has quit a collection looking down on you. We would stay here longer in the future.

They have great WiFi and the river is amazing. The dog run is HUGE and they have outdoor games for the kids and a covered area.

Only a couple downers: the bathroom- there's only one in the whole place (showers take quarters), and the campers located adjacent to us. I kinda wish they didn't place our young family next to a group of rowdy college women... I'm all for girls night but they had very vulgar conversations. We asked them to hold off on such language until they were out of earshot of all the children on the grounds. The hosts of the campsite were very accommodating! They provided a fire pit from their "surplus" pile, they have firewood for sale (cheaper than store in town) and a DEEPLY serene view of the lake. That lake was so PEACEFUL even a couple of deers wandered through the edge of the site down to the lake.

We stayed at this property in February 2010. The contact organization is Central Reservations in…read moreWinthrop, WA. It looked bright and clean from the internet pictures, and it was pet friendly. On arrival, the first thing I did was check the sheets. I found them wrinkled and, upon closer inspection, there was a pubic hair nestled in the sheets! The 2nd bedroom revealed stained pillowcases, and wrinkled sheets. I immediately called Central Reservations. They dispatched 2 housekeepers who arrived and demanded to see the pubic hair before changing the sheets! The replacement sheets were severely pilled and worn. A thrift store would not accept them as a donation, but they appeared clean. When I pointed out the stains on the pillowcase on the bed in the 2nd bedroom, the housekeeper refused to change the sheets in this room, pretending to change them behind a closed door. I quickly realized there was nowhere to deposit our trash. No instructions, no outside trash can. Since there is no landline in this property, I had to go to a wifi site and send an email. I was advised by Central Reservations to "just leave the trash on the porch". Knowing that there are domestic and wild animals who could/would make a mess of unsecured garbage, there was no way I was going to do this. Instead we spent one trip a day in the car trying to find secret trash cans in Winthrop to dispose of our trash. In response to an email, Central Reservations again dispatched a housekeeper to remove our garbage and leave us new trash bags. The only problem was, since there was no land line, Central Reservations did not know and could not check that we were not home (we were out trying to find somewhere to dump our trash). The housekeeper entered the house without our permission, and terrorized our poor cat, who is afraid of humans, and spent the next few hours cowering and yowling under the bed. The property is very dirty. Stained pot holders are prominently displayed on hooks over the stove, many cigarette butts sit in a pot on the deck. My cat scooped hunks of hair, crumbs, an old cracker, dirt and dust from under the stove. There is dog feces in the yard. The shower curtain is coated with soap scum. The venetian blind in the bathroom is bent and almost non-functional. The pet hair on the blinds is unsightly. The space behind the TV is very dusty. Even the hooks that hold the coffee mugs in the kitchen are dirty. The good things about this house are the newish fridge, full size washer/dryer, the stove/oven, microwave, TV and DVD player. The airtight gas stove works well. The view of the river is stunning. Upon departure, we checked under the bed and found a dirty sock and a pair of dirty underpants. We were surprised at the lack of cleanliness of this house, since it looked white and sparkly on the internet. Just because it is a property that allows pets, does not mean it can't be clean. If you plan to stay here bring blankets to put over the furniture and be prepared to do your own deep cleaning. We will NEVER stay here again.

Excellent destination place to stay…read more Excellent place to stay. Very affordable with outstanding service. We spent two nights there. First night was in cabin 15. It was spacious and had a hot tub. The cabin was perfect for a nice time with my wife and I to get away and really relax. Cabin 14 was a nice cabin too. We stayed in this one our second night. No hot tub with this one but still very nice. The breakfast was great. The food options were diverse and tasty. Kendra personally offered to make us some terrific scrambled eggs because of my limited diet. I totally recommend this place if you want a great escape from the chaos that life sometimes throws at us.

We paid $417 for two weekend nights in October. Other notes / Possible Cons - * The sound bleed is so bad. We could fully hear the conversation, footsteps, and movie of the room next to us. So if you don't like that I would definitely recommend getting one of the separated cabins. * A lot of the appliances (TV, fireplace. Etc.) didn't work but it wasn't a huge issue because it wasn't too cold and you're in nature - why need a TV? * Breakfast is homemade and they say it's from 8 - 9:30 AM but really all the food is gone around 9. Again, not really an issue for us since we didn't really eat the breakfast. Good coffee though :)
