If one route is closed, it is the YOUR responsibility to make alternate plans for travel. NO REFUNDS will be given at any time of the year simply because an alternate route must be taken and add additional travel time. Highway 20 is closed in the winter and mountain passes can be closed anytime of the year because of wildfires, rockslides or other occurrences. Directions over all the routes will be sent to. you 3 days before your arrival. Make sure to check pass reports(and they can change while you are en route) and print out the directions before you leave.

2)Trail Access/Closure Information:
If you are coming to hike, bike, or ski on a trail or system of trails which happen to be closed before or during your stay, NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN because of this. Trail closures can occur anytime because of fire, rockslides, mud flows...and we have no control over this. There are many hiking, biking trails of various kinds in the Methow Valley. If access to the North Cascades is closed via Hwy 20 because of any reason, NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN because of this. 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

    We were thoroughly impressed by this unique and wonderful home. The River Nest sits on the riverbank's edge about 25' above the Methow River. There is a fantastic little pizza place right across a large parking lot from the house/cabin. I will call it a cabin because that is the feeling you get when you walk in. The atmosphere inside the cabin is sizable and cozy at the same time. Both bedrooms are large and have doors out to private balconies overlooking the river. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. For me, pillows can make or break a place. The amenities and pictures listed here on VRBO are accurate. You might also try the local Methow Reservations website. This was a great place to stay for three nights in the Methow Valley. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to northeastern Washington.

    I usually stay at the Chewuch Inn & Cabins for the Blues Festival weekend. However, this year, I had to find an alternative location. If there was ever such a thing as a good problem to have, this was it. I would highly recommend this rental. Captain Raimey

    The property was great after an initial issue with the property not being cleaned. It was taken care of immediately and the rest of our stay was great!

    We had a nice stay at the River Nest while we were vacationing in the North Cascades. It is a cute and cozy home and we enjoyed the river flowing behind.

    Beautiful and charming House has a great open layout overlooking the river, with equally great outdoor space. Fully stocked kitchen, including oils, spices, whole bean, coffee, coffee grinder, and coffee maker. And a good outdoor barbecue grill. Supermarket is less than 2/10 of a mile away, and business district less than 5/10 of a mile from house. Also, owner has provided lots of helpful information about nearby hiking trails, birdwatching, and other things to do. Finally, the house manual had lots of information, leaving us with no questions to direct to the owner. Altogether a truly terrific, four day/3 night stay!
