Due to Covid, there were some changes: no daily service, contact less check-in/out.

Gardner Inn was exceptionally clean and followed no contact check-in and out.

I had a question about payment and the phone number given to call was answered promptly and response was friendly.

o     Friendly proprietors who communicate clearly and quickly.

The Inn's owners are very friendly and helpful.

Pizza place just across and down the street was excellent, and everyone in town was friendly and warm.

Great place to say--nicely decorated, friendly caretakers, easy to book, great location to store and downtown Winthrop.

Stayed for 2 nights 3 days,pleasant room,beautiful property, friendly staff.they allow Pets,I was able to bring my little Biston terrier with us.

The owner was friendly and helpful during our stay.

Everything was perfect, from the friendly note with our key awaiting us at the unmanned reception , to the delightful patio garden.

They were very friendly and helpful with suggestions on places to eat.

The owners were super friendly and helpful.

The owners are friendly and very accommodating.

The rooms were immaculate and warm and very comfortable; the Inn's owner was very friendly and helpful.

The beautiful grounds, the friendly owners and the lovely room were all much appreciated on our 4,000 mile trip in July.

Prices are good and they're puppy friendly.

Hosts were very friendly and provided helpful suggestions on places to eat.

We really value the vibe and proximity to Mazama and favorite day hikes east of Rainy Pass.

This location was great for hiking in the North Cascades, with Mazama Country Store being a perfect breakfast stop on the way into the park. We did not have to contact anyone from the hotel during our stay (because we encountered no issues!)

Although we did most of our skiing in Mazama, we were able to walk to the Methow Community trail to ski and also snow shoe.

Wonderful cross country skiing along the river and a short drive to Mazama for more beautiful trails.

This hotel is totally worth considering for any adventure in the Winthrop, Twisp or Mazama areas.

The snow was magnificent in mid-February, a perfect late-winter getaway for skiing and snowshoeing at favorite spots from Sun Mountain to Mazama!!!

but ended up picking this one because of its high traveler rating on this site.

Hotel is a small site, comprising of 3 buildings, no elevators, 2 floors only.

Dogs are allowed (some sites say they don't allow them) only in room 1, 2, 3 and 4.

This is a sweet, clean, comfortable place to stay in Winthrop that is close to the main strip and a short walk to Nordic skiing trailhead.

We did two trips to the Methow Valley for cross-country skiing in early 2022.

We really enjoyed reading by the fire, soaking in the big bathtub after a day of skiing, and relaxing with a glass of wine.

One reason we love this place is that I can walk to the town trailhead (approximately 1/3 mile), so I can go skiing whenever I want to.

I was excited to see a small movie theater opened close by so I was able to walk over and catch a movie after a fun day of skiing and shopping around.

Because we spent so much time skiing we did not get to meet the owners.

It's a nice walk to town and the community cross country skiing trail along a path so you don't have to walk in the road.

Gardner Inn in the wintertime to go cross country skiing!

This is the place my husband and I nearly always stay when visiting the Methow for cross-country skiing.

My wife & I came here to go cross country skiing and stayed in their Partridge room which was beautifully appointed.

Great base for a cross country skiing trip.

We will certainly be back for more skiing and fun!

We have visited in all seasons and is a perfect destination to bring your pet and enjoy skiing or hiking.

We had a wonderful introduction to the Methow Valley and my Finnish-born bride pronounced it the "best skiing in North America".

For skiing (xcntry--for those not familiar with the Methow Valley) there is a path to the Methow Community Trail from the hotel and Winthrop is just a short walk--or drive-- away.

Their place is perfectly located in Winthrop to access many activities: cross country skiing, snowmobiling, fat bike riding, snow shoeing.

Don't hesitate to stay here if you are skiing.

Self Check in was easy and our keys were at the front desk with directions.

The Inn's lobby area was welcoming with nice extra touches including coffee, teas and books.

The onsite attendant promptly gave us a replacement.

but not on top of the noisy night partiers), spacious, well-appointed rooms, and very responsive hosts.

Close to everything and exceptional customer service from the staff.

Alison and Greg are great hosts and very responsive to our text message questions.

but when I asked the staff for a radiant space heater they brought one over right away and we had silent heat for the rest of our 4-night stay.

Gorgeously funky, in the best way - clean, clean, clean, beautiful bedspreads, lovely hosts who respond promptly when you have questions/needs.

The owners were helpful as always with quick turnaround on any questions or help needed.

Alison, the owner and host, was super accommodating when we had to adjust our room type for our older children,

The owners were very responsive to our needs and helped us speed up the wi-fi connection.

Gardner Inn, and the reviews were solid, the photos were convincing, and the story of the owners was compelling.

We really enjoyed our stay there and appreciated Alison and Greg for accomodating.

Our hosts were always responsive to our questions and supplied us with extra coffee and creams everyday we were there.

The owners are being very carful about following COVID19 precautions.

but there was a number listed in the check-in email, as well as on a helpful paper inside the room.

Another plus is that you can walk into town, maybe fifteen minutes, if you want to avoid traffics.

The town is so small that you can quickly walk or drive to anything you need from the Inn.

We like the rooms and the ability to walk to the trailhead is a big plus.

We brought our snow shoes, walked to the ice rink, went to town for coffee.

We just walked across the street to access the river to fish in the morning, and can ride our bikes right from the Inn.

We love to walk to town (Winthrop) in the morning over the suspension bridge spanning the beautiful Methow River.

And you can also walk into town (slightly longer

We liked that we could walk into town, and have access to trails up & down the valley!

There's an area out back for walking dogs.

The dog-friendly room off Route 20 is a rare find, and the Inn is a short river walk to all needs.

It is a short walk into the main tourist part of town.

Hotel was updated and very clean and a short walk into town.

The location is beautiful and a short walk into Winthrop.

It was close enough that we walked into town the next morning for pastries.

You can walk to town or the grocery store or restaurants.

We love the walks to and from town, as well as the drives around that beautiful area of Washington State!

We walked into town, walked to pizza, walked to the small movie theater, and loved the hospitality as well as the magnificent Methow Valley.

The staff was friendly and the cabins were relaxing with a great view of the lake.

And, everyone was so very kind and friendly.

Friendly staff and great room with easy access to parking.

The views are heavenly the people are friendly

Dining staff very friendly and food was excellent.

Great service with really friendly staff! !

There is so much to do and the the staff is super friendly and helpful.

The entire staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

The staff were all so friendly and welcoming.

But the staff members on the whole were incredibly friendly.

EV friendly with Tesla destination charging and one J1772 connector as well.

The staff are so friendly and helpful and the environment and landscape is simply unbeatable.

The staff at the lodge were so helpful and friendly.

The staff at Sun Mountain Lodge are very friendly and welcoming.

The trails are mostly bike friendly and some are shared with horses as well.

The service was amazing and everyone was very friendly.

Service especially in the dining room was very personal with friendly staff listening to our stories and sharing theirs.

Wine was served that had gone bad, entrees at dinner were lukewarm and room was “tired” needed carpet cleaning or replacement.

Only issues were some overdone meat and cold breakfast and questionable maid service--only semi made room up after first night.

Hats off to housekeeping:  they came daily to replenish supplies & remove trash, and after we left, found the iPad our 5 yo had stashed and hidden from his brother, made immediate and repeated efforts to call us, and then shipped it home once we connected.

It's now cleaner than ever, because of the restoration after the fires this past summer.

There is no in-room daily housekeeping because of Covid restrictions.

There was no maid service the entire 3 days/nights that we stayed.

Upon taking a bath in the jetted tub, there were huge piles of actual dirt that came from the jets, to implicate it had not been cleaned or "santized" in a very long time and dust accumulation on the ledge adjacent to the tub.

No housekeeping cleaning at all because of strict guidelines.

The room also had some issues with a constantly running toilet that maintenance was unable to fix, and some detail needed with housekeeping - looks like a deep clean had not occurred recently with dust build up on the appliances within the bathroom, and a cleaning rag left in the tub.

Due to Covid Phase 2 there was no daily maid service

Unfortunately our visit was cut short due to incoming wildfire smoke,

Mainly check the weather for smoke advisories.

No apology was offered for my sleepless night, only a rotten attitude and an extra blanket.

Wild fires have burned several areas around the Lodge and some trails remain closed.

Numerous fix-it items: broken shade cord, bent & warped cookware, broken sconce parts on the wall, burned out range hood bulb that they couldn’t seem to replace.

Unfortunately, this is not offset by the poor quality and service (server stunk of body odor, kitchen was noisy and intrusive for each dining room meal).

I have never actually seen a skunk in the wild in my life!

Pools not open & it was HOT, Room smelled really bad.

in fact for breakfast, it is just oatmeal, and one of the days it seemed like it was seasoned with garlic. Yuck!

My only complaint was the goose poop that the geese happily repopulated every evening.

Finally on our last morning at breakfast the English muffin arrived with a dot of mold on the side!

but the front desk handled our early check out gracefully and with no hassle.

Although the Dining Room needs an improved menu & inventory control, all staff throughout the property were very professional, courteous, and personable.

Hope they can resolve this issue, it appears to be a select few that manage the restaurant, not the server staff, they did their best to help.

but efficient, and the rooms are perfect.

The staff in the activities shop were very helpful and welcoming.

Very good staff, good pool, good food and quiet.

The new general manger Heinrich Olckers was a very welcoming host.

All the dead animals on the lodge walls was a little much, though.

The room had a large jacuzzi bath with swinging doors that could be opened to the room and wall to wall windows overlooking the Methow Valley and Wolf Creek drainage up to the Cascade range.

If you look at the pictures on the site it appears that if you are in the tub you are really close to the view, please be aware that the photo is of the reflection of the wall of windows which is pretty AWESOME and the curtains must be closed at night in the Winter because it can get really cold.

Our room needed to be vacuumed, floors wiped down, along walls and under bed large dust accumulations.

The curtains along the view wall of windows are old, had many pinholes from aging in sun and were quite dusty.

Must say the canopy bed has some ornamental metal at the head against the wall which is uncomfortable for your back it you try to read in bed.

We stayed two nights here, and from the friendly greeting and personal tour of the facility at check-in, to the small yet personal touches in the room, to the wonderful breakfast and gorgeous views of the river from the deck downstairs, we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The next day Keith was very helpful and friendly with directions, and information about the town and hotel history.

Our host was very friendly and he recommended an Italian restaurant down the street and the food was excellent.

- Joe & team we’re exceptionally friendly, with restaurant recommendations & great local knowledge.

Spent two nights here in a river view room and it was fabulous! From the friendly check in, the owner introducing himself and making sure we had everything we needed, to the thoughtful touches (reading glasses and flashlights!)

The owner (Joe) and staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful, and they made us feel like visiting family.

Staff and the owner are wonderful, friendly and accommodating.

Knowledgeable  supper

We had two puppies and the do friendly rooms had everything we needed and then some, including a shared full kitchen and dog treats, fenced back area with propane fire pit and a custom made swing for me and my girl to relax in!

The welcoming and friendly service, delicious breakfast, and attention to detail in the suite made this property amazing.

Arrival was super welcoming with a warm lobby, great smells and friendly staff.

They are very friendly and make sure your every need is spoken for.

The space is sensory sensitivity friendly with barely any noise pollution from the venue next door.

The people who run the place are so friendly, helpful, and respectful of cleanliness (including removing his shoes when he showed us the room).

Joe, the owner, is a gem, very friendly and ready with recommendations of what to do in the area.

Very clean, super friendly staff, excellent location, great comfortable bed, delicious breakfast!

Accomodating staff, delicious breakfast, beautiful view, clean comfortable room.

All employees we encountered were fabulous.

Everyone was so nice and helpful regarding where to go for hiking, and their was a full size coffee pot in the room with real local fresh ground beans. A+

Each staff member was kind, courteous, helpful and always greeted us with a smile.

They gave us a personalized tour of the grounds and our room, rather than just handing us some keys and sending us on our way.

The owner, Joe, was super welcoming, making sure we had everything we could possibly need including running down to get us ice before we even knew we wanted it.

The room was exceptionally clean and the bed was some type of memory foam and very very comfortable.

The proprietor whom I refered to as Yosef (just so he would remember me) greeted us at the door and made us feel like old friends from the first minute.

Each and every staff member did everything in their power to make us feel welcome and accommodated.

The space was lovely and so warm and welcoming, the breakfast was beautiful, and the owner couldn’t have been nicer!

The owner himself made sure we were having a great time.

If your lucky the owner my sing or hum a bar or two to boot.

Twisp River Suites

But I had to give River's Edge Resort a 2 star review, because I ended up with 31 (yes, I counted them all) bed bug bites.

I immediately thought it was bed bugs because they look, itch and hurt like bed bug bites.

Big shout out to Chrystal that was very friendly, pleasant and nice to talk to and provided a generous amount of information.

The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the receptionist was friendly and informative.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating even when we arrived late one time.

Check-in service was great - very friendly and efficient.

The town is friendly, with Querky shops and great offbeat restaurants!

The office staff is very friendly and helpful, which I appreciate!

The staff were very friendly and helped point us to local attractions that included an interesting museum in town and nearby Pearrygin Lake State Park which is a very nice place for a picnic with an excellent beach too ($10 day pass).

Staff was friendly, the place very clean.

Office staff was friendly & very helpful with anything we needed.

The gal was very nice, friendly, and welcoming.

Heidi and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

The cabins are always spotless, the staff friendly and welcoming.Everything is within walking distance.

The office lady was friendly,prompt and answered all our questions with a few added suggestions.

The girls in the office were very helpful and friendly.

but this cabin needs some maintenance and repairs.

but if your experience is limited to hotels be aware that there is a little bit of 'self maintenance'.

but I fear they may be hot in the summer -the unit we had did not have windows that opened and an AC unit only in one room)

The room had an AC unit and gas space heater; the bedroom and bathroom had small electric wall-mounted heaters.

The upstairs rooms were a bit stuffy even with the a /c and a ceiling fan

Very hard working and a great asset to the resort.

She apologized and said that she would take care of it, and due to the rest of our great experience, I accepted and let it go.

Home away from home and the staff is great!

We were immediately greeted and welcomed by the staff at the front desk.

We had a problem with a couple of items and the staff was quick to try and resolve those problems.

We checked in mid afternoon and the lady at the desk was very nice.

The resort is an easy 2 minute walk to restaurants and bars, and the staff are super fiendly.

It is an easy walk into "town" and a short drive into the North Cascades and hiking.

We loved the little town and the people especially.

It's our favorite place to stay when we are visiting family in the town

The resort is right in town with an easy walk to what Winthrop has to offer.

It was right on a river, and right in town where outside the door it was easy to walk to shops and restaurants.
