There beautiful hikes in and around our valley that we would be happy to recommend.
INTERNET POLICY..PLEASE NOTE:
**We strive to provide the best internet service we can get here in the very rural Methow Valley. Internet speeds vary throughout the valley and outages or tech issues can occur that we have no control over, and for these reasons NO REFUNDS are given if the internet is problematic. We also do not guarantee that the internet will meet your work/school needs. Should you have an issue with internet service, please send us a message through VRBO describing the problem. We will then contact you to troubleshoot. If the issue is not resolved, we will then contact the internet provider, and/or homeowner. Please note... our valley is very rural and getting service personnel to fix things in a timely manner can be a challenge. We rent lodging, not office space.

Public internet is available at the Winthrop library with enhanced internet speed (parking lot or inside the library). Alternatively, for a fee you can go to the Dropzone in downtown Winthrop. Thank you for your understanding!

IMPORTANT WINTER INFORMATION :
**Should you travel to the Methow during the winter months it is important to understand that you must be prepared for winter driving(keep chains, shovel...in the car) and all the inconveniences it causes you and the community you are visiting. The weather can be extreme with large snowfalls, unexpected technical issues, frozen pipes, impassable roads/driveways). If it snows while here you will have to wait for plow service just like every other person in the valley. There are a limited number of plow companies and Methow Reservations nor the owners of the house are in control of the plow company schedules. They have many different contracts and many miles of roads, driveways...to plow. If a plow person or a snow shoveler shows up to clear any area around the house, please do not argue with them or turn them away. Move your vehicles if asked. Your cooperation and patience are required especially after any significant snow accumulation. Should you get stuck you can call Classic Towing in Twisp, WA

**Propane Fireplace--should there be tech issues or the propane fireplace upon your arrival please send a message through Airbnb. Methow Reservations and the owner will try to troubleshoot and remedy the problem. If the problem requires a part or there is an issue with the propane company that may take longer that your stay, NO REFUNDS will be given.

    We really loved our stay at Bend in the River Cabin. As noted in the description, the cabin is well appointed. Everything you could possibly need for your stay. The kitchen is super well equipped.Lovely outdoor spaces. Super comfy, living and dining areas. Very comfy beds. Such a quiet spot, with just the gentle sound of the river below and plenty of different birds. Ospreys. Ravens. Lazuli bunting. Cedar waxwing. A plethora of songbirds.Perfect for us and two dogs. Being right next to the river was lovely and our pups appreciated popping down the bank to cool off in the river after an energetic game of frisbee.

    The cabin was in a great location and it was clean! We enjoyed our stay there very much. The screened in porch was great because there are definitely tons of bugs and hornets of all shapes and sizes. We do wish that the access to the river was more clearly described, it’s a very steep bank and hard to travel down. We chose the property due to the river access which we ended up not enjoying very much because it wasn’t very accessible. The cabin was well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and lots of towels, extra linens etc.We did end up needing to buy more paper towels, only a half used roll was left for us, but that’s on the cleaning company not the host. Overall it was a great stay, nice cabin and would definitely recommend.

    The cabin is fantastically equipped to host a group of 5 people. The kitchen is fantastic and had every kitchen tool/utensil I needed. The breeze through the cabin at the beginning and end of the day meant that we rarely needed to use the air conditioner even though it was more than 30C outside during the day. Being by the river was fantastic for the dogs to play and cool off. The cabin is in a great location for accessing Buck Mountain and truly any of the local trails.

    This is by far the most well-equipped rental that I have ever stayed in, and the items were well laid out. This is a beautiful property and very secluded. I didn’t see a person all week unless I went to town. The 4/5 on check-in should probably be a 4.5/5, I missed the note on using instructions sent so I was using GPS. But the support team was onsite in ten minutes after being engaged and they were super helpful and very friendly. I only have three very small notes: because I’m a project manager with an engineering brain. The fan in the master clicks, so probably just needs some screws tightened. The batteries in the TV remote died so some spare AA and AAA batteries would have been great. A heads up about the mosquitoes or maybe even spray/lotion/roll-on would have been nice. Like I say, small things so I highly recommend this place.

    We enjoyed our second ski season visit to the Bend in the River Cabin as much as the first trip. We appreciate the privacy and edge of the river setting. As avid skiers we also like the proximity to many trailheads.
