Large clean place with plenty of room for our party of 6. The location is great for area hikes, and sites. This was our 2nd stay here and We enjoyed it again. If I could give half stars I would to a 4.5. The only hold backs were, more cereal sized bowls, dishwasher wasn't working, patio door was hard to lock/unlock, and a criter may have found its way into the upstairs bedroom wall. All have been reported and I'm sure they will address these items. If they do, we recommend this rental.

The condo worked out great for our 4 night stay in Winthrop for xc skiing. We were able to cook 3 dinners and all other meals there. The rooms and living room space for our needs for eating, playing games we brought, and watching movies. We will definitely consider staying here again if our schedules and availability align.

Perfect weekend spot

Easy weekend spot just outside of Winthrop with access to the trails. Property was very clean and had everything we needed. The key box is mounted on the garage, not next to the front door, so it took us a little bit to find it, but otherwise, everything was great!

We enjoyed our stay at the Aurora Borealis cabin. It was spacious and clean, and Winthrop was a quick drive away. We were able to stop at the grocery, just across the street from the condo development, and pick up what we needed for dinner. Thanks for a good vacation!

Lovely location

This beautiful home was such a blessing for our family, and we enjoyed the surroundings so much. We were in town for a wedding, but staying here made it feel like a luxurious vacation. We saw deer right from the back deck, and the spacious living room was excellent for family gatherings around the cozy fire. Love the wine club, too! How fun! Great amenities all throughout, and our kids loved that you had hot cocoa already in the cupboard! We hope to stay here again sometime!

A nicely appointed and clean condo just outside the town of Winthrop with very nice views up the valley. We had a party of six and there was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen had almost everything we needed, we just couldn't find a can opener. The pots and pans were very nice and no chipping non-stick that we normally find. The bedrooms had everything we needed and more, and I heard no complaints on the beds. There is a grocery and hardware store just across the highway and downtown is just a few minutes drive. Great location for all area trails or snow parks in the winter. We rally enjoyed our stay.

This was a comfortable stay. Be forewarned internet is unreliable and drops frequently. Although the kitchen is well equipped, we found some decrepit pans to be in unusable condition. Contacting VRBO offshore support was a joke. We resolved our issues with local Methow reservation/ managers. In 100 degrees, AC was most welcome. Never used the little electric George Foreman grill. Pictures showed a full size gas grill. LR area rug needs to be replaced as edges are curling up badly. Could be a consequential hazard.

We had a great cross country ski vacation!

The condo was well stocked, and an excellent location for getting to a number of ski trails with under 30 minutes of driving. Good size for 6 people. We did bring a couple of camp chairs for the living room which helped with seating. We had no problem with hot water, 6 of us showered every day without an issue. We had an enjoyable stay. Couple of issues: We were supplied 2 rolls of TP for 6 people for 7 night stay. The TV was challenging to use, and had no volume for some reason on the last night. It would have been nice to have had printed easy instructions on how to operate it. FYI- Dishwasher detergent tray did not open during the cycle, so we just threw the pod in and left the tray open.

Great location - bring toilet paper

The rental was a great place to stay as we were exploring North Cascades National Park and the neighboring trails. The perplexing thing is that there was no extra toilet paper, paper towel or tissues.

CLOSE to Winthrop

Fantastic stay, great for my family. Minor suggestions: as the Grandparents, we loved the master suite. The other downstair bedroom (Queen) had a noisy mattress, and was not well served by the single downstairs window air conditioner, which is in the living room.

We had a great time snow shoeing. Unseasonably warm weather led us to not x country ski. Only suggestion is to have a knife sharpener or keep the knives sharpened (wrt gourmet kitchen). Otherwise wonderful

Nice, but needs upgrades for larger groups

Really great place with plenty of space for everyone. That said, I would hesitate to recommend this place for a more than a small family until two issues addressed: 1) the hot water ran out SUPER FAST; and 2) the living room seating has one couch, and one chair. Given that this place can easily host 6-8 (and has a nice large dining table and kitchen setup to match), it really needs a living room furniture update so folks can gather round and relax together.
