We first stayed at Spring Creek Ranch for a weekend vacation. While we were there we fell in love with the absolutely gorgeous venue and with Sarah's amazing attention to detail. When we were engaged a year later, Spring Creek Ranch was at the top of our list for venues. Ultimately we chose Spring Creek Ranch for the following reasons: -beautiful venue, with amazing trees which we really wanted because we wanted to get married under an epicly beautiful tree -Sarah, great communication, flexibility and attention to detail -affordability, we rented it for the full weekend at the price we would have paid to rent a place for an afternoon at traditional fancy wedding venue -location, walking distance to Winthrop meant we didn't have to worry about how to get guests home if they partied hard -extremely flexible, no requirements to use specific vendors for anything and a reasonable sound policy allowing for the late night party we wanted. All in all, we would highly recommend Spring Creek Ranch. read more

We have rented the Ranch House for many years in the winter. The spot is perfect for families as it is within walking distance to everything. It is in a beautiful setting. You feel secluded, while at the same time so close to town. Sarah is so responsive and helpful. I couldn't recommend it more. read more

My husband and I got married here a week ago and had a fantastic experience. We spent months looking for a suitable venue for our destination wedding and were so happy to find Spring Creek Ranch in Winthrop, it really was the absolute ideal venue for us. We wanted a place where we could have a large crowd (180 - 200 easily), and where we could spend a few days, rather than just a few hours, enjoying the company of all of our friends and family. Ideally, we wanted something on a river or near a body of water, with beautiful scenery for a backdrop, at a reasonable price. We were also very willing to do a lot of the planning and execution ourselves, so we didn't need a full-service wedding facility, more just a great space to make an event happen, and license to make it as festive as we could for the entire weekend. SCR fit the bill perfectly. A 60 acre ranch situated on the shore of the Methow River, set against a North Cascades backdrop, it is breathtakingly beautiful. A tiny spring creek runs right through the grass next to the main farmhouse, and there are plenty of big weeping willows as well a few rustic barns and outbuildings, which add photographic interest to the already beautiful surroundings. There is also a good sized pond, perfect for swimming during hot days. The place was teeming with life while we were there- hawks circling overhead, deer grazing in the fields all weekend long, salmon spawning in the stream just a short walk away from the farmhouse. Sarah, the ranch owner/ caretaker, rents the ranch for a three-night package deal which is priced very reasonably and includes lodging for 15 as well as porta potty and wash basin rental for guests. The lodging includes a large farmhouse (a beautiful, comfortable place to stay), a smaller log cabin just across the field, and a small studio a few miles away, perfect for the couple getting married or for parents of the bride or groom. (note: each lodging facility is also available as a vacation rental. My husband and I actually got engaged at the Hoot n' Holler, the studio cabin, on a prior Methow Valley vacation). Tent camping is available on site, and there are plenty of accommodations within walking distance of the ranch, in downtown Winthrop. All in all we found Sarah to be incredibly accommodating, flexible, responsive to my many requests, and exceptionally easy to work with (she even accommodated our desires for our pooch, Lexi, to come along on the wedding journey and stay on site). Sarah also has a lot of contacts and wedding vendors in the Methow Valley that can hook you up with whatever your heart desires for your wedding, and happily shares them. Some things to note- the venue is not a full-service wedding venue. For example, there are no tables, chairs etc. on site, nor is catering offered, nor are linen or dish rentals available on-site. If you want a more inclusive wedding package which includes those things, this is probably not the place for you. On the other hand, if you are comfortable handling your own rentals, finding a mobile catering company, and handling a lot of the details (or have hired a wedding planning professional who can handle these details), then this would be a great fit for you. All in all, we had an amazing experience, and will forever have a particularly fond place in our heart for Spring Creek Ranch. We would highly recommend it as a venue to anyone considering a DIY (do-it-yourself) wedding in the Methow Valley. read more

Spring Creek Ranch (SCR) and the Berns Family that runs it treated us like royalty. Right from the start, the Proprietor of SCR, Sarah Berns was enthusiastic and extremely helpful with the planning of our rehearsal dinner event for 130 people! She always made herself available via phone and email and went out of her way to share helpful tips, including setup options and additional vendors to help support our Friday night event. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the venue's appearance and functionality. She also helped us coordinate with the caterer and tent/table rental firm, to make sure we had what we needed, when we needed it, and where it was supposed to be. Planning large events like this from 4-hrs away in Seattle required a lot of trust in the team you're working with, and Sarah Berns earned that trust and then some! My wife and I would highly recommend this venue for your big event (wedding, rehearsal dinner party, etc.). Even with a little smoke in the air from all the forest fires this summer, this place was absolutely beautiful, and we barely even noticed the haze! - Grant read more

Spring Creek Ranch-Spring Creek Ranch is absolutely beautiful and the town of Winthrop was the perfect location for our daughter's wedding. Sarah and her family have spent years planting trees, flowers and tending to the landscape. The main house has an adorable cabin on the property. Our daughter was married in the field with the majestic mountain as the backdrop. We even had a deer and wild turkeys cross the field during the ceremony. There are so many spectacular photo locations to include the rustic barn, bridge and river. We arrived on Thursday as did many of our guests. SCR made a perfect gathering spot and "home base" for our guests for the entire weekend as it is conveniently located to many of the Winthrop hotels and rental properties. We started the wedding festivities with an informal dinner on Thursday evening and ended the weekend with a Sunday brunch for guests to stop by as they began their trip home. It was nice to have a location where everyone felt comfortable coming and going all weekend. New friendships were established and family and friends were reunited. By the end of Thursday evening hiking, golfing and fishing trips were planned for the weekend ahead. The groom stayed in the cabin on the grounds and the bride and bridesmaids stayed in the main house. There was plenty of room for the bridesmaids to get ready on Saturday for the ceremony. Sarah is absolutely amazing. She is professional and easy to work with. She took the time to review the contract, answer any questions and made several recommendations for local vendors, hotel accommodations and how to plan for our wedding weekend. Her daughters and brother assisted with parking and directing guests to the ceremony site on the wedding day. She was constantly checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed, to collect trash and even doing a quit mow to remove a few dandelions around the ranch house the morning of the wedding! Sarah took care of every detail! This woman is amazing- she is a mother, a writer, a doula, a wedding venue operator and I'm sure the list goes on . . . Is there anything Sarah can't do?! I highly recommend the Spring Creek Ranch for your next event. We made so many special memories at this beautiful venue and Sarah worked so hard to make this day special for our family. Our daughter's wedding could not have been more perfect and it is because of the amazing team of vendors that worked so hard to make her weekend so special. This group of wedding professionals are so kind, creative, talented, friendly and committed to what they do. We started planning this event for an August 2020 wedding and due to COVID-19 we rescheduled it to May 2021. They were honest and truthful about state delays and clear with expectations regarding possible restrictions. We planned this event long distance and they stayed in touch with us throughout the entire planning process and constant adjustments due to the date change and guest number fluctuations. They made planning so easy. They are all very experienced and extremely flexible. We have received so many compliments about this amazing group of women that people are asking if the bride and groom can renew their vows next year! They exceeded ALL expectations. I will miss talking with them and hearing about their lives and families in Winthrop. We have been blessed to meet these wonderful women and we are honored that they were a part of our daughter's wedding! I highly recommend-Spring Creek Ranch, Sun Flower Catering, Northern Farms and Methow Moments. Hollyanne and Mark Milley-Virginia read more

We celebrated our marriage at Spring Creek Ranch in May of this year. It was magnificent! The balsam root was in bloom and the valley was green and lush. The venue and the care given to our celebration were more than we had ever hoped for, and we are so grateful. The ranch itself is beautiful, providing a private location in the town of Winthrop amidst ancient trees and vast green fields. If you didn't have an idea of where the town is, you wouldn't know it was there. With 1/4 of our guests being small children, the venue was ideal for free play, jumping the creek and fun for all. And with kids under 10 and grandparents over 80 all bunking at the Ranch House, the space was ample and highly comfortable. Our guests really appreciated it. Some other things about the venue particularly impressed us. For our guests, parking was easy, provided for and not visible from the party. The accommodations for guests outside of the Spring Creek Ranch rooms are close and ample. Most guests could walk back to their rentals within a couple blocs of the venue. My husbands family, dairy farmers from Vermont for generations, was absolutely charmed by the ranch house and classic old dairy barn. Grandpa Dana carefully looked through all the historical photos, the huge old farm table and all the artifacts of the ranch house that delighted him with memories of childhood. The combination of the pond, the softly flowing creek, the high cascades on the horizon and the immaculate grounds made a perfect setting to celebrate our union with 100 friends and family. And the ease and convenience of heading to the cabin on the grounds for a honeymoon getaway was great--allowing us to walk back to the ranch house for lunch with the extended family. Other perks I liked included the walking/skiing trails direct from the door to the river, deer roaming the fields and the salmon spawning in the creek. Sarah Berns, who manages the ranch and events, provided excellent recommendations for party rentals and vendors in the area. She has perfect attention to detail and made the planning smooth and seamless. She was a resourceful, caring and gracious hostess for the occasion. Thank you Sarah! We would highly recommend Spring Creek Ranch for a wedding or any family celebration--but what really clinches it is a visit to the grounds--you won't be disappointed! read more

My wife and I were lucky enough to get married at Spring Creek Ranch in July. To say our wedding was amazing just doesn't give it justice. We wanted to have our wedding outside, we knew that much, but we were not sure where to do it. We wanted a location where our guests could relax and soak up the surroundings. Spring Creek Ranch was absolutely ideal, wide open lawn, lots of additional acreage, borders a river, creeks running through the property. a pond (with trout), old barn, historic farmhouse and one of the largest weeping willows I have ever seen. There is so much room, our guests were able to explore, walk around the ranch and even fly fish on the property. The best feature of the Spring Creek Ranch is very hard to explain, but it is just the feeling you have while you are there... its comfortable, you almost feel at home, and a lot of that has to do with Sarah, the ranch caretaker. She was so incredibly helpful and accommodating. She was very responsive and put us in touch with some great vendors in the area... we used about everyone she suggested. She was even there on our wedding day, showing people where to park, working with the vendors, answering guests questions, all the details that we didn't want to worry about. Our guests still tell us, months later, how amazing the wedding weekend was and how the site was instrumental. Spring Creek Ranch is a unique family owned property, which allows for more creativity and personal input when designing and planning your wedding. Also, it is surprisingly cost effective, considering what comes with the ranch. We highly recommend Spring Creek Ranch for an outdoor wedding, we wouldn't change a thing if we could do it all over again. read more

My husband and I picked the the Owl's Nest for a quiet get-a-way. What a wonderful experience it was. The cabin is quaint, clean and just perfect. Sarah was kind enough to let us bring our small puppy since, at the time, he was too young to board. Every morning we were welcome by the neighborhood herd of deer, what a beautiful sight that was! I completely over packed for this trip. We had good intentions of doing a lot of hiking, cross-country skiing and the other things this region has to offer. Instead we stayed in, cooked delicious meals (purchased most ingredients at a nearby grocery store) and had the chance to really relax. Often when I get overwhelmed by our busy life in the city, I think back to that week at The Owl's Nest and plan our next stay. read more

Having grown up in the Methow it seemed obvious that my husband and I would want to celebrate our love in such a beautiful place. The more difficult choice was which beautiful spot in the valley was right for us. After some looking around we decided that Spring Creek was perfect. From the initial interest in the location all the way through the clean up after the wedding Spring Creek was very accommodating and great to work with! I really appreciated the time that Sarah took to walk around the grounds with us and give suggestions on picture locations and site set-up. She made sure that the bride was happy every step of the way! SCR is very flexible and welcomes whatever vision the couple has. We loved being able to use our horses and wagon in the ceremony. Our big day went fantastic. The grounds were beautiful and I got many compliments even from locals that did not realize what beautiful spot Spring Creek is. The guests that came from out of town were able to stay in some of the lodging at SC and most everyone else loved being walking distance from the site and from town. Not only was it convenient for us and our guests, but the site has such a great feel and is such a beautiful setting that I highly recommend anyone considering getting married to check out Spring Creek Ranch. read more

Our family (My husband, myself and our two dogs) visited the Winthrop area the last weekend of May 2009 and stayed at the Hoot N' Holler cabin at Spring Creek Ranch. It was fantastic! Note that it is a small cabin so you need to be very comfortable with who you are with. The cabin was very clean, the bed was sooo comfortable, the surroundings peaceful and they allowed pets! The kitchen was stocked with a coffee maker, dishes, pots and pans, a refrigerator and oven. Their mugs were by a local artist and they supplied delicious coffee from the Methow Valley. The nightly rate is compareable to other lodging options in Winthrop, but with the Hoot N' Holler you get great, friendly customer service, a standalone structure, peace and privacy. No shared walls, no one coming in or out at all times. We will definitely be returning to this cabin in Winthrop. Thanks Sarah, Daren and the Spring Creek Ranch! http://www.springcreekwinthrop.com/ read more

My husband and I got married at the Spring Creek Ranch this past summer and highly recommend it. We found the Spring Creek Ranch after searching for a destination wedding location in Central/Eastern Washington. The Spring Creek Ranch had everything we were looking for- a beautiful outdoor venue where we could host several events over the course of the weekend, in easy walking distance from a town with lodging options at a variety of price points, and camping available on site. Winthrop had the added bonus of having easy access to a great network of trails and mountains for us and our more active friends with a town with plenty of things to see and do for our more urban relatives. We knew our pick was a success when our guests stopped asking us why we had picked Winthrop and the Spring Creek Ranch but instead asked how we had found such an incredible place. It was definitely not easy to plan a wedding from a few thousand miles from where we live in Alaska. Sarah, the Ranch caretaker, was incredibly helpful and made us feel at home. She was incredibly responsive, easy to get in touch with, and answered all of our questions promptly. While she offered great suggestions for local vendors, we appreciated that there was no pressure to use any specific vendor. We also appreciated her patience in dealing with occasional guests who contacted her directly, helping point them in the right direction. During the wedding weekend itself, Sarah was instrumental in making sure everything went so smoothly. We really appreciated her presence on site at all of the events and the way she was always pitching in where needed. It was often those little details that we hadn't even considered and that she took care of that made the weekend run so smoothly. Her level of service went above and beyond when she helped us get in touch with a local gardener in the area when our plan for flowers fell through the day before the wedding and helped set up a fire pit, complete with wood, for the reception after party. We highly recommend the Spring Creek Ranch for anyone who wants a beautiful site for an outdoor, more DIY-style wedding. read more

Stayed in the Cabin in mid-January 2017 and it was terrific. Super clean and cozy. You could sleep 6, but with one bath and limited seating, I think it's perfect with two or three and a dog, (thanks Sarah for being dog friendly). Location is the best - out in a pasture by yourself, with groomed ski trails out your front door, but close to Winthrop and restaurants. Great find - will stay here again. read more

My wife and I were married at Spring Creek in October of 2016, and we honestly can't say enough how much we loved the ranch, the location, and in particular Sarah! It is located in the heart of Winthrop, with an expansive property that offers privacy, views of the North Cascades, and paths winding through fields and beside the river. The main ranch house is big, comfy, and homey, and the ranch cabin is a quick walk across the field. We had family stay at the Owl's Nest, and though we never saw it ourselves, they reported it was wonderfully quiet and cozy. The wedding weekend was of course a whirlwind, but one of the things that stands out in our memory was how wonderful Sarah was throughout the whole process. From helping us to arrange our caterer and photographer, to last minute recommendations about a band (Wild Mountain Nation: awesome!), she was crucial in helping with the planning and making sure everything was in place for the event. And when it started raining 30 minutes before our outdoor ceremony, she was unflappable and ensured that we got all 150 people covered under the tent. She made sure everything was smooth and under control, even when things were outside of our hands (e.g., weather) which allowed us to focus as much as we could on the task at hand and try to retain as many memories of the best party of our lives! The Methow Valley is a true gem, and Spring Creek is its heart! Beautiful, inviting, and relaxing, we loved our time there, and are so appreciative to have met Sarah and had her help throughout our wedding, from early planning to the party afterwards. Thank you, thank you! read more

We got married at SCR in July of this year and the entire experience was perfect for both us and our guests. From the first moment we arrived at the ranch, our two very enthusiastic dogs jumping straight out of the car and into Spring Creek, we felt right at home. We were welcomed by Sarah into the most beautiful and peaceful setting, just a very short walk across one of the ranch's alfalfa fields and the suspension bridge, into town. Besides being incredibly beautiful the location was extra appealing because it allowed for all of our guests to reserve accommodations at several of the lodges nearby and walk to the wedding festivities, no transport needed. Plus several of our entire wedding party was able to stay at the ranch with us. The guests raved about the beautiful drive through the mountains to Winthrop (Lake Diablo is always a highlight) and loved discovering this unique town in the mountains. One of our favorite things about SCR is Sarah, who owns and operates the ranch along with her husband and two sweet girls. Sarah was so wonderful to work with, she didn't even bat an eye when we told her we were hoping to have dueling pianos at our reception! She was completely accommodating of all our wishes, so we felt like we had a huge amount of freedom in planning the wedding exactly the way we wanted it to be. She was able to chime in with her experience about what had worked particularly well in previous weddings and provided great guidance in event layout, guest flow, timing etc. She was incredibly responsive over email, I always felt like she was giving our party her top priority. She is a great wedding resource for the Methow Valley because she seems to know everyone! We were able to source almost our entire wedding locally thanks to her recommendations - wedding food and cake from Joanne and Arrow Leaf Bistro, wine from Lost River Winery, beer from Twisp River Pub, flowers from Lexi and Twisp River Flowers, brunch from Rocking Horse Bakery, a welcome BBQ from the Northcotts, rentals from Lake Chelan Rentals and she recommended our day-of coordinator - Sol Gutierrez (who also works at the Copper Glance, the best place to direct your guests for a wedding after party!). The day of the wedding was a roller coaster, we experienced heavy rain in the morning, flash flood warnings and thunder and lightning throughout the day so Sarah and Sol had their hands full keeping things running smoothly (and keeping the wedding party calm). However, everything turned out perfectly! The rain cleared up just in time for the wedding, the temperature was perfect and the lingering clouds made for some very beautiful and dramatic photos. If you are looking for an outdoor wedding destination with a slightly rustic feel, with personalized wedding planning guidance and a lot of local options, we definitely recommend SCR, we and our guests couldn't have been happier. read more

My wife and I just had an amazingly wonderful wedding at Spring Creek Ranch. We've been traveling to the Methow for skiing and hiking for the past 13 years and knew we wanted to get married in the valley. This past winter, we skied by the ranch and took a brochure and knew this was going to be our place. Our beautiful outdoor wedding was better than we ever dreamed it could be and we feel so lucky we got to get married at SCR. The ranch is a big beautiful expanse of land that is peaceful, comfortable, & filled with wildlife. Along with the idyllic setting of the ranch, we were blown away by the ranch hand, proprietor, wedding coordinator and all around amazing person Sarah Berns! She is a force of nature, capable, competent and compassionate. You'll want to move to the Methow and have her be your new best friend! Our wedding felt so special and so personal like we were getting married at a relatives house. She took a lot of time with us, helping us create the vision of our wedding, answering questions and giving practical advice. It was important to us to use as many local vendors as possible and she was able to hook us up with not only talented professionals but some of the kindest people we've ever met. She helped with so many aspects of our Friday night welcome BBQ, Sat. ceremony and reception set up and Sunday breakfast that it isn't possible to list it all. Lodging was easy to coordinate. Our family and friends were delighted with the Ranch House, so cozy and comfortable and the ability to walk from the lodges close by. We stayed in the Ranch Cabin which offered privacy while being able to walk easily back and forth to the ranch. We had a few hardy guests that enjoyed camping on the property and one RVer. There are so many photo ops on the property between the beautiful trees, lawn, fields, house, old barn, and rivers. Our guests enjoyed the town of Winthrop, the farmer's market in Twisp, and hiking in the area. Since it was a DYI wedding, it was probably significantly more work that getting married at a full service facility. But, we got not only what we wanted and how we wanted it, we also got an intimate, personal weekend for our guests and us and, more importantly, we feel like we got a piece of the Methow community in Spring Creek Ranch. A community that is all heart and beauty. read more

My wife and I were married this summer at Spring Creek Ranch. We easily give Spring Creek five stars. I have a couple of quick comments for people considering this venue for their wedding. First, I had over a dozen friends and family tell me that this was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. It was not just my lovely wife that made this beautiful, it was the natural, outdoor setting. You must see it in person. Second, Sarah was a dream contractor. She answered emails and phone calls promptly, gave clear directions and set clear limits. Her prices were transparent and accurate. This was not the case with every vendor we used. In fact, we had to ask Sarah to get in contact with one of our other vendors who went off radar for two weeks leading up to our wedding. I wish everyone we worked with was as professional as Sarah. Third, we rented the entire ranch (Ranch house, other house, and Owl's nest) for the full weekend (Friday night through Monday morning). This way we had the space for a welcome dinner on Friday night, the wedding on Saturday, and then the family stayed for another night on Sunday to have time together. For families that live in far flung cities, this time together was magical. We got a chance to have a wonderful wedding, and then have time with our families after all the guests had departed. This time I could give more examples, but I suggest you read the other reviews, and visit the website which is filled with honest information, accurate photos and reasonable rates. Finally I suggest that people get the "wedding package." The extra help and coordination was invaluable. read more

My husband and I held our weekend wedding reception at Spring Creek the 18th-20th of September this year and we could not have asked for a more special place to hold it. We had three events through the weekend including a welcome dinner, the reception itself, and a goodbye breakfast. All went off without a hitch. The weather was perfect, part of the reason why we chose the area, knowing how much more likely sun is in Winthrop over Seattle, where we live. We had fallen in love with the Methow valley, and the town of Winthop in particular, a few years back when we came through on a camping trip. When we were looking for a venue for our reception we figured out pretty quickly we wanted it to be out there, knowing that it would provide beautiful scenery, and plenty to do in and around the town of Winthrop. We were so excited when we came across Spring Creek Ranch, as it offered pretty much everything we were looking for, including being an affordable outdoor venue to rent for an entire weekend, places for guests to camp (and even have RV's) on the property, comfortable lodging (including the ranch house, and two cabins) on the property for ourselves and some special guests to stay, and a variety of additional lodging WITHIN walking of the ranch. That last part was key so all our guests would be safe getting home after an evening of drinking. I really cannot say enough about the beauty of Spring Creek, the ranch itself holds so much to see with deer grazing in the upper alfalfa fields, horses running around the lower pastures, a river you can walk right down to (and even lounge in the hammock by), a beaver pond right down form the ranch house with perfectly placed benching for sitting and relaxing, and not to mention the surrounding Methow valley's scenic views. We were able to hold a small welcome ceremony under the beautiful willow tree that is next to the ranch house, and then used the entire field there for our tent/dance floor set up and placing various yard games spread about. We were even able to be the firsts to project a video of our wedding ceremony on the side of the barn (after sunset) for all our guests. We have heard nothing but compliments from guests about the venue and the weekend. People enjoyed hiking in the area and checking out the town between our events and when on the ranch everyone, including the kids had a ball exploring the ranch and enjoying the festivities. Sarah was so very helpful, flexible, and available throughout the entire planning process and the weekend itself, including being present for the events themselves. Her list of vendors was extremely helpful to us and we were able to get pretty much all of our planning done with those recommendations, minus a few local touches we brought with us from Seattle. And lastly I should say that our dog was maybe possibly the happiest of all guests having free reign to run and explore the property. She was in heaven. We will surely be returning for a weekend getaway down the road. read more

My husband and I were married at Spring Creek Ranch in June. It was by far the best weekend of our lives. We had an entire weekend affair, complete with old west BBQ and bonfire on Friday night, camp games on the lawn on Saturday, and a Sunday brunch. Our guests were blown away by the natural beauty of the place as well as the spirit of the town and those who live in it. I knew that I wanted to get married at Spring Creek when I cross country skied by the old barn in the winter. I grabbed a brochure and the rest is history. The proprietor was professional from the get go and coordination was as simple as it could possibly be from afar. We did an entirely DIY affair and although it was a lot of hard work, it turned out exactly as we wanted it to. If you are not one to think of all the details or coordinate big things, I would highly recommend hiring one of the wedding planners that Sarah has on her list. I had local friends and knew the vendors personally and it was still a major undertaking since the venue itself is pretty much a blank slate. The best part of that is that you can make it whatever you want it to be. The downside is that you have to work harder to put everything together. The lodging in the cabins and guest house was ample and comfortable, the property was well maintained, and the day of staff was helpful and professional. I would highly recommend this place if you're thinking of having a wedding in the Methow. We would do it all over again if we could, as would our guests. read more

We just stayed for the second time in the Owl's Nest Cabin rented by the Spring Creek Ranch. It's a wonderful, tiny, but super cute and comfortable cabin deep in the woods close to Winthrop. It is very private nestled in a ponderosa pine forest. It's clean, remodeled and has everything 2 people would need. It also has fast wi-fi. It's very reasonably priced and they take dogs. Although I have not stayed there, their other properties look very nice as well. They are larger, private, and within walking distance of the center of Winthrop. I will definitely stay there again. Check them out at springcreekwinthrop.com read more

We had our wedding at Spring Creek in July and I can not imagine a better spot. The venue is beautiful, the cabins are perfect and Sarah is simply amazing! She was always easy to get a hold of and helped us with everything, a lot of aspects that I had never even thought of. I can not wait to go back to spring creek year after year! read more

My daughter had her wedding at the Spring Creek Ranch in mid-July. It was a perfect venue. The accommodations for the wedding party were so comfortable and convenient. The wedding and reception were outside and absolutely lovely. Sarah was wonderful and so helpful. I can't imagine the event being any better than it was and would definitely recommend this venue to anybody who is considering an outdoor wedding in the summer. read more

We were married in September of 2016 at Spring Creek Ranch and cannot recommend this venue more highly! We researched and visited most wedding venues in the Methow Valley and had heard about Spring Creek Ranch from a friend in Winthrop. After touring the grounds with Sarah, we booked the venue about a year in advance knowing a holiday weekend would be popular. Throughout the year, Sarah sent emails checking in on our progress and offered suggestions and helpful insights. She was always very timely and professional in her responses and extremely thorough and detail-oriented. Sarah also served as an interface between the venue and the vendors, which proved to be very valuable in the days and weeks leading up to the event. There are just some details the wedding couple could never imagine, but Sarah has been a part of many, many weddings at Spring Creek Ranch and was able to anticipate these beforehand and help ensure a smooth event. She was also very helpful with our families and was even able to dig out a crescent wrench when the father of the bride needed one to assemble the wedding arch! These are just a few of the little touches Sarah offered that we so appreciated. We really enjoyed working with her and were grateful to have someone so capable, calm, and organized on our side. Ultimately, we chose Spring Creek Ranch as our wedding venue because of the duration of the rental- we basically had a two-and-a-half-day wedding which cannot be found elsewhere in the Valley. Also, the proximity to downtown allowed guests to come and go freely. Not to mention, the grounds were lovely and offered a pleasant, pastoral atmosphere for the weekend. We would recommend Spring Creek Ranch to everyone. We plan to visit at least annually and utilize the cabin's proximity to the Nordic trails in the winter months. Thank you Sarah, we are truly grateful! read more

My husband and I got married there on July 2, 2016 on the most perfect day of the summer. Sarah was great to work with, supplied a list of vendors that she recommended, and was in constant contact to make sure that everything ran smoothly. It was an incredible day, at a beautiful venue, in the most adorable town! read more

My husband and I got married at Spring Creek Ranch and it was perfect! Both of our families were able to stay in the larger cabins, while we stayed in the secluded Hoot N Holler cabin. There are so many different places to hold the ceremony and reception and our guests loved exploring the property. Sarah was amazing and so flexible, she made us feel like we were home! I can't wait until we move back to Washington so we can stay here again. read more

My husband and I were married at the Spring Creek Ranch in mid June this year. The ranch site is located central to our home in Winthrop and to our local guests from the Methow, and included lodgings for up to 15 comfortably in three buildings; the old ranch house right in the center of the wedding venue, a cabin a short walk through an irrigated field, and a studio cabin a few miles away. Our families travelled to be there and enjoyed the comfort and location of all three accommodations. Other guests found great lodgings within walking distance. Add in the beauty of the ranch adjacent to the Methow River, the pond, and the running water canal alongside a large lawn suitable for almost any size wedding and you have an unbeatable combination. Sarah with Spring Creek Ranch could not have been easier or more pleasant to work with, and had excellent contacts for vendors to select. She made the preparations seamless and from our perspective, as easy as it gets. All we had to do was enjoy the day and our friends and family. I can't urge you enough to give a careful look at Spring Creek Ranch for any social function you contemplate. It was the best time and party we've ever had. read more
