A beautiful house on the Methow River with great amenities. The back of the house away from the river is a business parking lot with a restaurant--but it is quiet and not noticeable when in the house. Overalls, a great stay.

Great house!

This place was great. It is way more private than you would expect being in the back of the East 20 Pizza parking lot. This is also a huge bonus because the pizza is awesome. The space was well designed and the loft sleeping options really gave us flexibility. We loved it and would stay here again.

Nice view of river.

Other than not being child friendly outside, everything else was great. AC in living room, big ceiling fans in bedrooms, loved the river noise & view & watching the people float by, everything needed in kitchen, hall for child to run up & down, big windows.

Winthrop Blues Festival Logging

I usually stay at the Chewuch Inn & Cabins for the Blues Festival weekend. However, this year, I had to find an alternative location. If there was ever such a thing as a good problem to have, this was it. I would highly recommend this rental. Captain Raimey

Wonderful House in Great Location

Beautiful and charming House has a great open layout overlooking the river, with equally great outdoor space. Fully stocked kitchen, including oils, spices, whole bean, coffee, coffee grinder, and coffee maker. And a good outdoor barbecue grill. Supermarket is less than 2/10 of a mile away, and business district less than 5/10 of a mile from house. Also, owner has provided lots of helpful information about nearby hiking trails, birdwatching, and other things to do. Finally, the house manual had lots of information, leaving us with no questions to direct to the owner. Altogether a truly terrific, four day/3 night stay!

Very impressed by the River Nest

We were thoroughly impressed by this unique and wonderful home. The River Nest sits on the riverbank's edge about 25' above the Methow River. There is a fantastic little pizza place right across a large parking lot from the house/cabin. I will call it a cabin because that is the feeling you get when you walk in. The atmosphere inside the cabin is sizable and cozy at the same time. Both bedrooms are large and have doors out to private balconies overlooking the river. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. For me, pillows can make or break a place. The amenities and pictures listed here on VRBO are accurate. You might also try the local Methow Reservations website. This was a great place to stay for three nights in the Methow Valley. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to northeastern Washington.

Charming interior

It looks even better than the pictures indicate. The rooms are comfortable, the kitchen quite functional and the balconies over the river are nice to have. There is not river access from the unit but there is a river park about a block away. The small air conditioning unit worked quite well. I never had to communicate with the property owner so I'd rather not have been required to rate that.

Beautiful Cozy Nest

This cozy nest was so enjoyable! We loved the set up and design of the house and the outside area. We had a view of people rafting down the Methow River which was fun to watch! Great location! We highly recommend staying here!

Weekend getaway

3 great nights! Winthrop is a family favorite between Pearrygin lake, Methow river, and of course Shari's ice cream! This home; nestled right above the river was an excellent addition, peaceful, quaint, and all that we needed. The home is lovely, and now a hidden gem we hope to return to

Unique experience.

This place is very artistically and comfortably designed. We stayed for three nights with an other couple and the layout was perfect, providing privacy and also social spaces. The river running just below us was a treat. We highly recommend River Nest!!!

Lovely Cabin

We enjoyed our stay at the River’s Nest even though it was an incredibly hot weekend and there is no AC. Eventually, the nights cooled down and we were able to sleep. The house overlooks the river with beautiful views of trees and moving water. The outside space and inside space are all well thought out-there is a fire pit and barbecue which we used every night to grill our dinner and the inside space is decorated so nicely. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms had great showers. We will come back. It was very clean and organized and the cleaner checked in with us daily!
