ABOUT THE HOME
This dog-friendly remodeled home is located about 2 blocks from Winthrop’s one-and-only 4-way stop. In the 1940’s, it was once a much smaller house but was expanded and remodeled, with quirky, charming character, including coved doorways.
On the main floor, there is a good-sized living room with a propane fireplace and air conditioning, a bedroom with air conditioning, a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo, and a shower chair. The newly remodeled kitchen features new cabinets, countertop, stove, dishwasher, 4-door fridge (open from the middle), one-cup Keurig maker (bring your own Keurig coffee), and stovetop espresso maker next to the bright dining room. There is a ‘mud room’ for your gear or for waxing skis just before you head upstairs. Two hiking ski boot dryers are available.
On the second floor, you’ll find a primary bedroom with a king bed, a private bathroom, and a sunset porch with a view of Mt. Gardner and the sounds of the Chewuch River; another bedroom with a queen-size bed and a shared hallway bathroom. At the end of the hallway is a laundry room and an open ‘bonus room’ with two double beds and a Smart TV. All bedrooms have air conditioning.
The living room has a big-screen Roku TV, a DVD player, a vintage stereo with Bluetooth connectivity for personalized music from your phone, and a number of board games. The full kitchen has a dishwasher, pots, pans, serving dishes, utensils, slow cooker, full spice rack, panini press, rice cooker, electric fry pan, Cuisinart coffee maker, French press, coffee grinder, and more. Nice big dining room table for all to gather around. Bring your slippers as the kitchen floor can be cool! Fuzzy socks are provided. There is an EV charger rated at 48 amps, J1772/CCS. Tesla owners will need to bring a NACS-to-CCS adapter.

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.
