This cabin was originally built in the 1960s using logs and lumber harvested from the surrounding forest. As one of the first structures in the Edelweiss area, it began as a hunter’s camp—complete with a horse corral for trips into the backcountry. Years later, it was thoughtfully remodeled from a rustic shelter into a cozy, comfortable getaway.
Set among open woods with views of Lucky Jim Bluff, the property is bordered by Fawn Creek, which tumbles down the hillside from early spring through late summer, filling the air with the soothing sound of cascading water.
Inside Fawn Creek Hideaway you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen stocked with cookware, spices, a dishwasher, microwave, and a laundry room with washer/dryer. A sunny enclosed breakfast nook and open living room with a gas fireplace create a welcoming space to relax. The upstairs bedroom, perched among the trees like a private treehouse, features a queen bed and ensuite bathroom. Downstairs, another queen bedroom with sliding glass doors opens onto the deck. For extra guests, a queen sofa bed is available in the living room. The cabin also includes a Smart TV (Netflix, YouTubeTV, and more—use your own login), a Bluetooth speaker, radio, and high-speed internet.
Outdoor spaces are designed for relaxation. Enjoy your morning coffee/tea on the cozy side deck, or gather for dinner and drinks on the large covered deck with its BBQ and dining table. Unwind in the cedar sauna (seats 4–6) with a changing room, or cool off with your feet in the crisp mountain water of Fawn Creek on a warm afternoon.
Location & access: Trails are just steps away. Walk 10 minutes downhill to the Lunachick trailhead or uphill to Lower Fawn Creek Trail and explore the Rendezvous Basin. Both connect to the 120-mile Methow Valley Trail System—perfect for biking, hiking, or skiing without needing to drive. Or, stay close to home and enjoy the serenity of Fawn Creek Hideaway in our climate controlled cabin to read, paint, write or pursue your favorite creative endeavor. The cabin is conveniently located just 3 miles from Mazama and less than 15 minutes from downtown Winthrop.
