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.

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.
ABOUT THE HOME

There is a smart TV, washer/dryer, pull-chain toilet, and it welcomes well-behaved pets with responsible owners.
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.

Thanks for everything. Fun, cozy place.
Such a cute and cozy place, within easy walking distance of the village. The backyard deck was definitely a highlight—absolutely beautiful, with direct views of the river and surrounding trees. The neighborhood was lovely as well. Everyone we met was so friendly and welcoming, and some locals even told us about an outdoor movie event happening nearby, which was such a nice touch. We really enjoyed our stay and loved exploring the area. Would happily stay here again!
We loved our stay. We found the place charming and comfortable. The location is great and convenient. We really did enjoy our stay
Bernie's is well equipped. The river view is stunning and relaxing - great view from the deck and the swivel chair by the back sliding door.
Great spot to stay while visiting North Cascades and Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest area. Convenient location and rental was as described!
A perfect spot for a little getaway! You can sit out on the deck every night and bird-watch with the river below. Loved the little measuring cups you had on the wall! All the attention to detail with the decor was very appreciated. Thank you for a great stay.
Lovely stay at this riverside cottage. We had everything we needed- comfortable beds and the deck to take in the river sights and sounds. And just a short walk to town. We will be back.
Cute property. Good value.
We think Winthrop is the best place to stay in the North Cascades! Such a cute little town with lots of amenities. The cabin was fantastic. Very peaceful and quiet with great views of the river from the deck.
Host was very helpful
Everything we needed was there. Lovely deck overlooking the river.
Great space with wonderful charm!
Very cute, clean little cottage. Great location.
Great communication and flexibility from host. House worked great, comfortable and in a great location right in the middle of Winthrop. Beds and pillows are very comfortable... which is definitely not the case with a lot of places.
We had a great time! an adorable cozy interior, loved the fireplace and if I hadn't had a broken foot, walking into town wouldn't have been a big deal! The sound of the river was epic as well.
