    view from the bar patio
    Jen P.

    Pros: Location- beautiful views you won't see anywhere else, lots of outside activities to do on the grounds- hiking, horseback riding etc The resturant- Some reviewers were not impressed with the food. My vegan husband had some amazing dishes that were actually on the menu-we didn't have to specially request these items. We were able to eat outside on the patio in the bar area, which was absolutely lovely. We had the vegan flatbread, the chicken, the vegan cabbage entrée, basque cheesecake, and vegan chocolate sorbet. All very impressive for the price point considering where the resort is located. Staff-To all future guests-you're staying at a resort in the middle of nowhere. The staff is super chill. We are thankful that a place like this even exists out here. Where else could we stay around the area that is as nice ? The views, location and amenities make up for any sort of lack of customer service people may think they are getting. On a Friday night, there was only one front desk person, a couple of servers, a bartender and someone that seemed like maintenance person. Maria, the front desk personnel, and Roy our bartender were amazing. Cons- Although the resort has its charm, it was not entirely what I expected based on the vibe/photos on the website. The room we stayed in, a Mountain View King for $350 a night, was definitely outdated- it gave 90s vibes and the rooms need a refresh. The room and bathroom was super big and the balcony view was lovely, but the actual balcony needs to be refinished or replaced. They are currently doing construction on one of the lower levels of the hotel, the spa area I believe, so hopefully the rooms will be next. Overall- this place is rad and we will definitely stay here again.

    Sun Mountain Lodge is a beautiful destination that offers many outdoor activities and amenities. There is a beautiful cross country trail that leaves from the hotel and while we just walked it this trip, it appeared that we could rent gear for skiing and snowshoeing from the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and beautifully decorated, they have Nespresso coffee machines and every room that make a perfect cup of coffee. All of the staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful and we felt very well taken care of.

    Wonderful rooms, and pretty scenery. I didn't miss the absence of a TV and I loved the quiet. This facility has great potential, but for this price I wasn't expecting poor service. Reception was only staffed by one person who was overwhelmed by two lines of people trying to check in. The directions to our building/rooms was poor. I wouldn't have commented on this since any place can have an "off" day, but in general the service was not welcoming and even somewhat sullen from reception to the restaurant. A friend had recommended this for our stay and they had a good experience in a prior season. Overall I'd rate our visit as disappointing for the price, but if I had a discount to try again in another season I wouldn't rule it out.

    It's tough to complain about this place, given the views, the privacy, and the outdoor possibilities in winter or summer. Our suite was clean and pretty well equipped. Staff brought us more pillows promptly, since as we were a family of three we used the pullout. Also, Brett at the ski shop was really helpful with our skiing and hiking plans. Finally, we had good-to-excellent food in the Dining Room and the bar. The pullout sofa, unfortunately, was an instrument of torture. After two hours, I made it back into a couch and slept on that. It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't great for what we were paying. After four nights I was ready for a bed. Also, the room could use a microwave, especially since the restaurant and bar are expensive. Winthrop's few restaurants are a bit of a drive, and it can be tough to get a decent bite there, as restaurant hours aren't robust. And sometimes you just want to eat in and play a game or read. All told, though, this place is a quiet gem that we find ourselves coming back to. The winter solitude can't be beat.

    We stayed at the Sun Mountain Lodge during the August 2023 North Cascade National Park fires (8/15-8/17). It was a little sad because we couldn't enjoy the national park or hike any of the local trails because of the smoke. We also had a beautiful porch overlooking the back and we didn't use it much. In all honesty, I'm very sensitive to smoke and air quality so it also could have been a bigger problem for me than others. That said, this place is beautiful and I think it would be an incredible place to stay if the fires weren't happening. This hotel also has excellent customer service. When we first checked in, our room was incredibly hot and smelled like incense. We couldn't open the windows because it was too Smokey outside so we called the front desk and they moved us immediately, which was very kind and appreciated. The staff at the main dining room were also very kind. We didn't use any of the facilities (horse back riding, pool, etc) but they looked super fun and cute!

    Beautiful views!

    Celebrated my birthday and our 10th anniversary this past weekend at the lodge. We had never been and heard great things about it. The view and the grounds were so beautiful. Unfortunately, the ac didn't work in our room which made it a little miserable for sleeping. We had maintenance come check it the second night we were there and they said it should be fixed. Unfortunately, it was not and it was just as hot the second night. Luckily they gave us a small fan so that helped a little. We spent a little time at the small pool and there were so many bugs floating around and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in quite some time. I felt for the staff, they all looked pretty exhausted and stretched pretty thin. I'd have to imagine this place was stunning and all around incredible in the past but sadly that was not our experience. I hope they find the staff and the changes they need to be 5 stars again.

There was a stack of napkins on the nook table but no paper towels available. Next time I'll remember a roll. The deck was right above the river and was very scenic. The hot tub was very useful to us and we sat in it stargazing for hours. The setting is private with privacy screens on both sides. We had neighbors on both sides of us who were also outside but all was peaceful. Good nature sounds out there. The check in procedure was flawless. It was all faceless and we never entered the office or saw any staff at all. They had our credit card number and sent us an email the day we arrived with the key box code. I'm assuming Covid prompted that procedure but it was smooth. There were a couple rocking chairs and a couch in the tv area. Under the tv was a DVD player and we watched some old Bogart/Bacall movies. Very cool. We already booked another trip next time Washington Pass is clear.

I notice the other hotels and resort are located in Winthrop the downtown area, which basically have the entrance hotel room doors shown to the public. This cabin and lodge are tucked away from the busy downtown area and the cool thing is you can just walk to the downtown area by crossing the bridge on foot. Heyyyyyyyy! My husband, our daughter, and I did that in order to get our walks in. The walking distance isn't that bad since Winthrop is so small with cute local business shops. Let's talk about the room and the amenities: clean room. Just as advertised. We got what we wanted: king suite with sofa bed and river view. Tv works. Coffee, small fridge, and microwave work. Also, the key works for the door, so that was nice. When you know you'd be arriving late at the property after 6 pm, it's best to contact the hotel before 4 pm to catch up with the receptionist and inform them that you'd be arriving later after normal business hours, so an access key code would be texted to you. Continental breakfast is available in the morning if you're in the mood for typical muffins or breakfast bars. Coffee is available in the hotel room, and you have to get your tea in the lobby during breakfast hours. We would come back here in the future!

It was a bit steep for a Monday evening, totaling $211 with taxes. Upon driving in, on the left hand side was an eyesore, reminiscent of the Texas Chainsaw massacre with car parts strewn all over the lawn, a bit eery. Maybe that's where you end up if you don't pay! The manager on duty was very polite, and let us check in a couple hours earlier than their normal check in. The maids were still cleaning the room when we arrived. They only allow one person at a time at the hotel desk so they abide by COVID rules. Every employee we came across wore masks. We stayed in the main building up on the second floor. Enter room. Very clean. On the left is a closet with permanent hangers and a vanity with soaps and lotions (beware the soap does not foam at all, was it really soap?), and then the bathroom. Lots of towels. In the room straight ahead is a loveseat and and A/C unit that works very well. There were two queen beds with that cute "you're on the river" bed posts. Quilted blankets for that homey feel. Pretty sure they aren't cleaning the quilts between guests though, didn't smell fresh. Pillows were comfy. Beds were firm, but I found it quite comfortable. They supply a mini fridge and a microwave and a coffee station. There is a tv, but it's about the size of a laptop monitor, pretty small. Normally they have a place where you can borrow DVD's to watch or board games to play, but during COVID, they are not doing that. The best part of the Inn is that our patio overlooked the River, which is very relaxing. The screen door fell off the tracks multiple times so I decided to just leave it parked at an angle outside the sliding glass door. They provided a citronella candle (nice touch) in case you didn't want to experience mosquito genocide. Not relaxing was the giant tree being escavated within our front view, and was loud, ruining an otherwise perfect view of the water. Before dinner, we laid out in the hammock and got some shut eye. After dinner we came back, as I had reserved an hour (they allow you to sign yourself up on a sheet outside the indoor pool on premises) for the pool and the hot tub. Beware, the hot tub.... it's hot. Burned my keister. :P The wi-fi was somewhat slow and made it somewhat difficult to plan the next days adventures. We still managed to get a decent nights sleep, and check out was quick and easy.

"Enjoy all the comforts of home, convenience of being near town, and the country feel of the Methow Valley. Mule deer greet you in the early morning hours, birds serenade you each day, and the sun always seems to be shining when you're here." No sunshine, because it was snowing, but you can't complain about that. I got up in the morning, looked out the sliding door and what do you know? DEER!! I saw 6 does and a buck! It was true! The cabin is located two miles south of Winthrop and snuggled in the Okanogan National Forest. It was truly a beautiful picturesque setting. The cabin had three bedrooms, a good size kitchen, and a cozy living room. There's also a nice gas fireplace and a small deck in the back. The only thing missing would have to be a hot tub to loosen up those knots after our hikes. The kitchen is not huge, but a good size to take on the duties of roasting the gobble gobble and making my homemade stuffing. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the right cookware to undergo the 4-hour task. If you forgot to bring something there's a Red Apple Grocery Store down the hill and across the highway. The historic downtown is only a few miles away. There's also snowboarding, skiing, hiking and X-Country trails within a minute car ride. This was baby Ali's first family trip. I'm sure this place will add more memorable memories to the family. If you're craving a mountain setting with the convenience of a short drive to the store and downtown, this is the cabin for you.
