Tamarack on the Hill. Remodeled barn with sweeping views of the valley!
Remodeled barn high on a hill with sweeping views of the Methow and Winthrop. Perched where the golden larch trees meet the sky, Tamarack on the Hill offers a front-row seat to the rugged elegance of the Methow Valley. From your private wooden plank porch, the world opens up into a panoramic masterpiece, stretching across the valley floor to the western storefronts of Winthrop below.
By day, the sky belongs to the raptors; you can spend hours watching eagles and hawks catch the thermals, circling effortlessly above the pines. When the sun dips behind the North Cascades, the true magic begins. Here, the nights are defined by a profound, velvety silence, broken only by the occasional sigh of the wind. With no city lights to dim the view, the dark sky becomes a theater for a glistening moon and stars so bright they feel within reach—perfect for deep-space gazing while wrapped in a blanket on the deck.
Despite the feeling of total seclusion, the pulse of Winthrop is just a short, scenic walk away. You can spend an afternoon wandering through local art galleries, savoring a flight at the local winery’s tasting room, or treating yourself to handmade treasures at the chocolate and ice cream shop. After a dinner at one of the town’s celebrated restaurants, the stroll back up the hill serves as a quiet transition back to your sanctuary.
Inside, the suite blends rustic charm with modern indulgence:
The Living Space: Sink into the full leather couch or recliner to catch a movie on the streaming-capable TV.
The Kitchen & Bath: A fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities provide all the comforts of home, while the bathroom features both a tub and shower for soaking away a day of hiking.
The Sleeping Quarters: The clever layout offers a spacious loft featuring a King-size bed for peak relaxation, with a comfortable Queen bed situated below to accommodate extra guests or family.
Whether you’re here for the vibrant birdlife or the celestial show at midnight, Tamarack on the Hill is more than just a place to stay—it’s where the Methow Valley finally slows down to meet you.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Charming and well appointed spot just a couple minutes from town or hiking, with great views and a quality new build. Steve is a great host. We enjoyed the quiet and bird watching at the garden - I wouldn't hesitate to book here again.
We were the first VRBO customers that Steve had and it was amazing!!! The location is peaceful and quiet. It is a 5 minute drive into the town of Winthrop and is close proximity to all the sights and opportunities that Highway 20 and North Cascade National Park will bring you. The barn is perfect for couples, families, and furry friends! Our dog felt right at home, rather than the anxiety that comes with having a pup in a hotel. It has everything anyone could need (so many kitchen supplies, bathroom amenities, WiFi and Roku Tv, etc.), and everything is labeled, organized, and clean! Steve was an amazing host, and even left raspberries in the fridge for us prior to our arrival. You can tell he is all about quality and making sure guests feel comfortable while staying. He is very quick to get ahold of. We would 100% stay here again and hope to be back soon!
