EXTREMELY IMPORTANT YEAR ROUND TRAVEL INFORMATION--READ BEFORE BOOKING A RESERVATION:
1)It is the responsibility of the guest to have travel plans in place to travel either over the North Cascades via Highway 20 OR to travel over Steven's Pass through Leavenworth OR to travel I-90 over Snoqualmie to Blewett Pass through Wenatchee and then up the Columbia river to the Methow Valley. If one route is closed, it is the YOUR responsibility to make alternate plans for travel. NO REFUNDS will be given at any time of the year simply because an alternate route must be taken and add additional travel time. Highway 20 is closed in the winter and mountain passes can be closed anytime of the year because of wildfires, rockslides or other occurrences. Directions over all the routes will be sent to. you 3 days before your arrival. Make sure to check pass reports(and they can change while you are en route) and print out the directions before you leave.

2)Trail Access/Closure Information:
If you are coming to hike, bike, or ski on a trail or system of trails which happen to be closed before or during your stay, NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN because of this. Trail closures can occur anytime because of fire, rockslides, mud flows...and we have no control over this. There are many hiking, biking trails of various kinds in the Methow Valley. If access to the North Cascades National Park is closed via Hwy 20 for any reason, NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN because of this. There are a number of beautiful hikes, in and around our valley, that we would be happy to recommend.


INTERNET POLICY
**We strive to provide the best internet service we can get here in the very rural Methow Valley. Internet speeds vary throughout the valley and outages or tech issues can occur that we have no control over, and for these reasons NO REFUNDS are given if the internet is problematic. We also do not guarantee that the internet will meet your work/school needs. 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!

IMPORTANT WINTER INFORMATION POLICY :
**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) and all the inconveniences it causes you and the community you are visiting. The weather can be extreme with large snowfalls, unexpected technical issues, frozen pipes, impassable roads/driveways). 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 Methow Reservations nor the owners of the house are in control of the plow company schedules. 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

**WEATHER CONDITIONS**

We cannot be responsible for winter weather conditions. If you will be arriving during the winter, please be sure you have proper equipment for driving in the snow, and carry tire chains for driving over the passes. Our local roads are always kept open and in good condition for winter travel. There are no refunds for road closures; however, if both Stevens and Snoqualmie mountain passes are closed for more than eight hours and the closures prohibit you from reaching the property, you may reschedule your stay for an arrival within three months of the pass closures. Please note that the North Cascades Pass is always closed during winter.

We recommend you check weather conditions before driving through the passes during the winter at the DOT's website

The actual interior was really cute and charming. The property is also centrally located in town.Water pressure in kitchen and shower was fine. However, the water pump style faucet in bathroom only allowed for a trickle of water, making it difficult to wash up or shave,The parking area should have had markers to divide the area into the four car slots.The lockbox direction was not clear. It should have made it clear that there are multiple boxes and multiple boardwalks. That ours was at the boardwalk AT THE BACK of the building. We were not aware of this and figured the entrance was at front. We faced the building and tried unsuccessfully to use the wrong lockbox at the front boardwalk.

Cute and Eclectic in the Heart of Winthrop

This apartment is absolutely adorable. The photos honestly don't do it justice. We felt perfectly at home here and enjoyed being right in town and able to walk over the bridge and along the path to meet up with friends. We didn't need to communicate with the owner but heard great things about her from the owner of the glass workshop across the street and Stacie, who was in the gallery on Saturday. Winthrop is a special place and Purple Sage apartments are another reason to love this town.

This little place was kitschy and cute and in a great location to walk Winthrop and leave the car. Bed was super comfortable after long hikes. Would have preferred a regular coffee pot or Keurig to French press. No Netflix as stated on informational fact sheet and no local channels came in, but plenty of dvds if you are so inclined.

Quaint place in a good location if heading up North Cascades Highway. Convenient to restaurants and a nice town. A/C was only a wall unit in bedroom that was noisy so hard to sleep and did not do much to cool living space, but luckily it wasn’t overly hot when we visited. Simple amenities like hair dryer and soap would be appreciated, as well as a larger TV, but the small monitor-sized TV was fine for our needs. Overall nice for a night or two and better than a hotel room for sure.
