The Cabin sits in a peaceful, private setting, above the river, overlooking the undeveloped hillside, and is shielded by a glade of cottonwood trees. Surrounded by abundant wildlife at the river watering hole, the Cabin feels like you're in the wilds of Alaska but you're only four miles from the town of Winthrop. There is an open living/dining/kitchen area that leads to a screened porch and picnic area, providing a relaxing south-facing place to view the natural surroundings. It is located near two snowmobile parks and the Rendezvous cross-country ski trails, which also make for perfect hiking and mountain biking in the summer. A great lodging destination for outdoor enthusiasts!

The cabin has two bedrooms with a shared bath. One bedroom has a queen bed. The second, a queen and twin bed. Shampoo and Conditioner are not provided. Body wash and hand soap are provided. Laundry facilities are available. The natural fiber, high quality bed & bath linens have been chosen to assure your comfort. It is decorated with 'found object' collectibles, artwork & handsome furnishings to create a warm & inviting interior.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook a feast. We provide salt and whole black peppercorns. (Okanogan County Public Health restricts the provision of other cooking staples such as oil and spices.) An A/C mini split is located in the living room and provides ample cooling to the main living area including the open kitchen and dining area.

Now with ski waxing table!

Please note the BBQ is usually stored in winter, between Nov 1, and April 1.. Also, a third pet will be considered, with an additional pet fee

Recent guests departed leaving these words in the guest book, "This cabin has goooood mojo! Must be testament to the owners and who they are as people...I always say anyway! The weather was perfect - crisp fall glory! And no bugs to speak of. The stars were spectacular each night, along with the sweet sounds of cricket & river music to fill the senses. We will be back for our 4th year in a row."......and that is all they wrote...but who could ask for more?

The cabin was in a great location and it was clean! We enjoyed our stay there very much. The screened in porch was great because there are definitely tons of bugs and hornets of all shapes and sizes. The cabin was well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and lots of towels, extra linens etc.Overall it was a great stay, nice cabin and would definitely recommend.

The cabin is fantastically equipped to host a group of 5 people. The kitchen is fantastic and had every kitchen tool/utensil I needed. The breeze through the cabin at the beginning and end of the day meant that we rarely needed to use the air conditioner even though it was more than 30C outside during the day. Being by the river was fantastic for the dogs to play and cool off. The cabin is in a great location for accessing Buck Mountain and truly any of the local trails.

This is a great, private spot next to the river and less than 10 minutes from downtown Winthrop. It was also a great base for hiking in the national park. We didn't contact the hosts once, as we had everything we needed. As the one who cooks, I was super pleased with how stocked it was with utensils and pans (and for once I didn't have to cook on chipped-away Teflon). We didn't bring our dog, but for a place that allows dogs, it was squeaky clean. We didn't find one dog hair!

Easy check in. The place was so cute! And right on the river, so quiet and beautiful. We were an hour drive from some incredible hikes in the cascades and spent some time in Mazama, nearby town.

This is by far the most well-equipped rental that I have ever stayed in, and the items were well laid out. This is a beautiful property and very secluded. I didn’t see a person all week unless I went to town. I missed the note on using instructions sent so I was using GPS. But the support team was onsite in ten minutes after being engaged and they were super helpful and very friendly. I highly recommend this place.

I was impressed how well equipped the kitchen was. My hubby and I were cooking every meal and we had every utensils we needed. The beds are comfortable and clean. The cabine is located in a private lot, steps away from the river. We enjoyed a peaceful stay and loved to hear sound of the river water. Overall the place was super clean. I loved the kitchen copper countertop. So pretty.thank you for letting us stay at you lovely cabine. We had a great and quiet time escaping the Seattle fireworks.

We would have loved a vacuum cleaner in the house so we can tidy up rugs, floors prior to departure (we did our best with broom, mop. We do love the cabin and the fact you allow dogs!

ABITR Cabin is a wonderful, warm, cozy place. The furnishings are fun, cowboy and western. The layout provides plenty of room to dry and to deal with winter adventure gear. The kitchen is great to cook in. The cabin is light filled, plenty of windows from which to watch the birds, mammals and scenery in the meadow along the river. Although the sun sets behind the hills, the sunset usually fills the valley with beautifully colored light. Both setting and location are perfect for us, close to all the things we like to do in the Methow in winter. For this visit we timed our trip to include a Wednesday so we could Alpine ski at The Loup. Fun! A great addition to our usual Nordic trip in the Methow. We will be back again, having stayed at ABITR for about 20 years now.

We enjoyed our second ski season visit to the Bend in the River Cabin as much as the first trip. We appreciate the privacy and edge of the river setting. As avid skiers we also like the proximity to many trailheads.
