The Neighborhood:

Situated in the Upper Methow Valley, Timberline Meadows development comprises several nightly rentals and private homes, all nestled amidst the trees bordering the National Forest. The wintertime 'John's Way' cross-country ski, snowshoe, and fat bike trails provide connectivity to Mazama and the Upper Methow trail system, offering a ski-in/ski-out experience away from the Mazama trailhead bustle, yet conveniently close to the store.



Within a short drive to various trailheads, including Cutthroat Lake (20 minutes), Washington Pass (21 minutes), and Maple Pass (27 minutes), serving as an excellent hiking base-camp for exploring the North Cascades, especially during larch season.



The Mazama Store, renowned for its bakery and diverse offerings, is easily accessible, being just a 5-minute drive or 10-minute bike ride from the cabin, or approximately 20 minutes by ski, with rental options available in Mazama for both mountain biking and skiing.



The historic town of Winthrop, a scenic 12.5-mile (15-minute) drive down the valley, offers an array of shopping, bakery delights, and dining options.
