About this property
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.

We enjoyed our stay very much and expect to be back! The apartment had everything we needed for a weekend stay. The view out front was stunning and made for a great way to start and end the day!

Thanks Annie!
Exactly the experience I'm hoping for for my guests!
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.
This was a very pleasant place with great views! We had a couple of lovely hikes with our pups and we were about 35 minutes away from popular trail heads like Blue Lake and Cutthroat lake trails. It was also close to downtown Winthrop, so was very convienent. The place is clean and well equpped with a wonderufl porch that overlooks the valley. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that it is attached to a shop of some kind (painting?) , and there was a moderate chemical smell when coming into the apartment.

Hi Rachael,
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'll definitely be more careful in the future. All the best, Steve
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!
Absolutely beautiful property with an even better host! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and had everything I needed. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a very clean and quiet place to wind down.
Our stay here was amazing. The location, amenities, and views all made for a wonderful time to explore the area. The ladder up to the loft is steep but very sturdy with a good handrail. The open layout is very calming. The kitchen is extremely well equipped. Labeled drawers and cabinets made it easy to find our way around. The great view and awesome porch make it an ideal place to stay.
