This modern yet rustic home was designed to bring the outside in and promote a sense of peace and privacy. The home consists of a main house and a separate studio unit, both with breathtaking views. A new addition to the main house in 2026 adds an upstairs “fire lookout” bedroom and bathroom(New photos coming soon!). With vast views, this bedroom showcases a 270-degree view of the Methow Valley(New Photos Coming Soon!). Off the main level is a new mudroom, laundry room, and den.
Vibrant sunsets and natural scenery combined with modern flair, outdoor activities, and a lively art scene make this Winthrop vacation home an ideal couple's destination.
The primary, upstairs bedroom contains a king bed and a comfortable window seat for reading or napping. The main house contains a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, an open-concept dining and living area, a gas fireplace, and a cozy den for those times when one needs quiet or privacy. The laundry room has a beverage/wine refrigerator for your liquid refreshments. Some of the amenities offered in the full kitchen include a Blue Star Propane Range, dutch oven, crockpot, pizza stone, microwave and a Mocamaster Coffee Maker and Burr Grinder. Each bathroom includes a hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
Outdoor space abounds, with a covered morning/coffee patio facing east, a larger covered patio with lounge furniture and outdoor dining table on the southside, as well as Adirondack chairs, and a propane grill.
The detached studio is fifteen feet away, with stunning views of Mount Gardner to the west. Originally built as an artist's studio/office, it serves as a second separate bedroom, with queen bed, a full-size loft “sky” bed, three-quarter bath, and kitchenette, with a two- burner Wolf cooktop.
This gorgeous home feels remote but is within walking distance of Winthrop.

Thank you for your positive review. Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay:)
We had a great time at Rain’s End! Was nice to come back after a long hike and relax with a drink and enjoy the amazing views! We were 5 minutes away from town which was also a bonus.
Place was perfect for 2 couples as we had privacy with the separate guest house. We would definitely stay again!

Thanks for taking the time to review Rains End and glad you had an enjoyable stay!
The perfect location - so close to Winthrop, yet it feels remote. Gorgeous views from the house with its many windows as well as from the front and side patios. The house is well designed, comfortable, and had everything we needed.
This is a thoughtfully designed home with two breezeways in which to enjoy the great views at different times of the day. It is clean and new. The kitchen is well appointed.
This home made our vacation a trip to remember. At times it seems like you are in a magazine. Great views, stunning architecture, close to town, easy access, clean, and much more. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Thank you for your wonderful review! Come again anytime!
We loved our stay at this beautiful vacation spot located just up the hill from Winthrop. There’s a full kitchen. Everything is clean and new. This is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the view.
This property is stunning. The location is close enough to walk into Winthrop but remote enough to sit and stare at the Cascades all day. Under floor heating and loads of windows provide a comfy setting with a dramatic view. Separate building with room for multiple kids or another couple provide space and privacy. Gas for the BBQ grill was empty, no spare batteries for the fire place remote and some missing blinds on the separate building need addressing- but those are minor compared to the properties other features

So glad you enjoyed your stay:) Thanks for letting us know about the batteries and bbq.
Everything was well equipped. Im a business owner of a restaurant and there wasnt anything i was in need of. The key box gave me a little trouble and the toilet height was a bit tricky. But other than that it was gorgeous, private, well thought out for guests. We are already planning our next stay. From someone whom works 90+ hours a week THANK YOU for providing relaxation

Glad you were able to relax and enjoy your stay:) Thanks for the feedback!
Rain's End provided us a very relaxing weekend getaway with all the amenities you could need. Very clean and comfortable with a great view. The only issue we had was an odd one. The toilets were so high off the ground they were difficult to use and the stool provided was flimsy and tipped over easily. While my husband had no trouble, my height was a disadvantage.
Toilet trouble aside, we had a great weekend!
