No SmokingBernie’s is an original 1920s river home located in picturesque Winthrop, WA. Enjoy relaxing on the private deck, listening to the Chewuch River rolling past. Watch the deer as they graze at the river’s edge and walk through town. Bernie’s has undergone major upgrades both inside and out, and is a delightful place to stay.
Stretch your legs on miles of hiking or ski trails just a ten-minute walk away. Enjoy mountain biking, golfing, fishing, bird watching, whitewater rafting, snowmobile trail riding, snowshoeing, and dog sledding. Many ski trails are now open for fat-tire biking as well... and Winthrop’s NHL-size outdoor ice rink.
It is only 3 blocks to the old west Winthrop boardwalk shops and eateries. There are 2 charming walking suspension bridges to cross the Chewuch River and the Methow River.

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT WINTHROP
• Boardwalks and False-Front Architecture: When the North Cascades Highway (SR-20) opened in 1972, town leaders voted to style the commercial district like an 1890s frontier settlement complete with wooden boardwalks and hitching rails.
• Historic Landmarks: Visitors love stopping by spots like the historic Three Fingered Jack's Saloon and exploring local heritage at the Shafer Historical Museum.
World-Class Outdoor Recreation
• Nordic Skiing: Methow Trails maintains over 200 kilometers of groomed cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and fat-biking tracks, making it a premier winter destination (and home to unique local luge experiences).
• Summer & Fall Adventures: The warmer months bring hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing on the Methow River, and access to nearby alpine routes like Blue Lake Trail.
• Golden Larches: In late September and early October, the surrounding mountains light up with golden larch needles, drawing hikers and photographers from across the Pacific Northwest.
Food, Drink, and Local Flavor
• Craft Breweries & Bakeries: Socializing on river decks at spots like the Old Schoolhouse Brewery or grabbing pastries at Rocking Horse Bakery are classic Winthrop traditions.
• Treats and Arts: Strolling down Riverside Avenue to visit local art galleries, boutique shops, and Sheri's Sweet Shoppe gives the town a relaxed, welcoming pace.
• Local events: Find events at MethowValleyNews.com or WinthropWashington.com.
