Starting with the most affordable, Winthrop has the Virginian. There is nothing particular fancy about the Virginian but if you are just looking for a place to stay and want the least expensive, the Virginian is it. They are located right on the Methow River and just across from our Methow Valley real estate office. If you are staying at the Virginian please feel free to come by the John L. Scott Office and say hi. The Virginian puts you in walking distance of just about everything in Winthrop.
Looking for a very nice place with friendly staff and outstanding customer service? The River Run Inn is located just out of Winthrop Washington within walking distance to the downtown area, yet it has a very relaxing and secluded feel. There is a full indoor pool and hot tub, barbeque, deck, and picnic tables right on incredible sandy riverfront. My parents checked out every lodging and chose this one for their visit each year.
Right in town is the River's Edge Resort, Duck Brand Hotel and Hotel Rio Vista.
Within a 6 mile radius there are two special resorts to mention. Sun Mo
untain is a world class destination. You will be about 15 minutes from downtown Winthrop Washington, but the views are spectacular, with fine dining and beautiful rooms. Sun Mountain runs specials that are really fantastic for a resort of this quality. Look out for the specials for a really superb experience. They have everything from cafes and bar to full fine dining, exercise room, pools, spa, hot tubs and much more.
