INTERNET INFORMATION/POLICY..PLEASE NOTE: **We strive to provide the best internet service we can get here in the very rural Methow Valley.

Should you have an issue with internet service, please send us a message through VRBO describing the problem. We will then contact you to troubleshoot. If the issue is not resolved, we will then contact the internet provider, and/or homeowner. Please note... our valley is very rural and getting service personnel to fix things in a timely manner can be a challenge. We rent lodging, not office space. Public internet is available at the Winthrop library with enhanced internet speed (parking lot or inside the library). Alternatively, for a fee you can go to the Dropzone in downtown Winthrop. Thank you for your understanding!
WINTER INFORMATION: **Should you travel to the Methow during the winter months it is important to understand that you must be prepared for winter driving(keep chains, shovel...in the car). If it snows while here you will have to wait for plow service just like every other person in the valley. There are a limited number of plow companies and we can not make them show up any faster than they are able. They have many different contracts and many miles of roads, driveways...to plow. If a plow person or a snow shoveler shows up to clear any area around the house, please do not argue with them or turn them away. Move your vehicles if asked. Your cooperation and patience are required especially after any significant snow accumulation. Should you get stuck you can call Classic Towing in Twisp, WA

We had such a great stay at this property. First of all, it was exactly as pictured—cool, historic, with nice finishes, and super clean. The location was fantastic; we walked everywhere between all the fantastic hikes. I highly recommend staying at the Guy Waring house.
The house is in a prime location. We rented both units which made it very roomy. Kitchen had everything we needed to make a dinner and breakfast. We did have a slight problem with the heat but the owner responded very quickly and solved that. We were very happy with the accommodations.
Beautiful house which is perfectly provisioned for a wonderful stay in Winthrop. The back patio is a great place to hang. The house was very clean and well stocked. I will stay here again when I come back to Winthrop.

So glad you enjoyed the Guy Waring House and your time in Winthrop:)
This house is an older building that has been updated with modern conveniences, like central heating and an electric range. I especially liked the walk in shower. The location is ideal, just steps away from the central area of shops and restaurants, and within walking distance of the skating rink.
Perfect location for two nights off of our long backpacking trip. We met family and enjoyed the large kitchen and washer and dryer. The place has a lot of sweet details and is clean, comfortable and interesting! Highly recommended
Funky layout but lots of space for a couple and a family of three. Spacious kitchen and bathroom. Comfortable. You’ll hear the salon during the day if you’re there.
Our family of four stayed in this lovely historic home for a long weekend while attending the Great Outdoor Classic hockey tournament. It is conveniently located in town and walking distance to the rink. With a fully equipped kitchen, we had the option of cooking our meals. We also put the dryer to good use, drying gloves, hats, jackets, and ski pants. At night we could gather together and watch a movie or spread out into our own private spaces to read, watch TV, and play on tablets. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for your feedback!
Very familiar with the location. Great apot to base out of with small kids for walks and adventures in and around town.
Two true bedrooms with an Alcove using a curtain as a devider. Wasnt ideal for a last minute guest, but we made due just fine. Didnt have any need to interact with the hosts as everything went off without a hitch.
Lovely momma deer hangs out just off the deck in the back that you can see from the wonderful, open, well-appointed kitchen.
I was pleasantly surprised to stay in downtown Winthrop. I expected some noise but it was relatively serene. I appreciated the cool air on very hot days. Restaurants close by…
The house was nicely laid out with a unique modern/country vibe. Lots of colors and patterns. We could close doors between two sides of the house. My 30+ kids could enter from a different door so not to disturb us (parents) after we went to bed. Kitchen was nice even though I didn’t get to use it.
The Waring house made a perfect retreat after a long day of skiing. The in-town location is almost impossible to beat. You are less than a minute's walk to downtown Winthrop and yet it was cozy and quiet inside.
As other reviews noted, the kitchen is well stocked for most any dish you'd like to make. All the bedrooms were well furnished with extra blankets and comforters. (We did not use them as the heater was plenty good for us). The front room also has some wonderful historical displays of letters and newspapers found during the remodel for you to read.
One thing to note for winter rentals (possibly summer): The house can be separated into 2 living areas. This initially confused us since the house notes referenced the two places independently. Don't be confused by the binder notes. Our rental, "The Waring House", included both spaces.
Property was very comfortable and well appointed.
Could have used games and pillows on beds that were not so high, thick.
We had trouble with the automatic coffee maker which ended up leaking over the counter. Instructions for it’s use would have been helpful and a pour over drip coffee filter.
We had a fun stay in winthrop for their Christmas festival. The Guy Waring house was so cute and very clean. Amazing location for enjoying the festivities!
We had such a wonderful stay at this property. It’s is so beautiful. It has everything that you need for an amazing stay. The house is just beautiful! It is in the heart of Winthrop. It was so easy to walk to dine and shop. The hospitality of the whole town was unforgettable. The house was well stocked, It had beautiful furniture and finishings. We loved the history of the house being displayed in the home. I could go on and on about this amazing town and home.
