About this property

Skytop: Great views, remote, yet close to Winthrop

Whatever the season, Skytop is the ideal base for your Methow Valley adventures. Guests enjoy spectacular views, enchanting wildlife and remoteness -- all within an easy walk to downtown Winthrop. The cottage is wheelchair-accessible.
The main cottage was completed in 2014, and a second bedroom -- the elegant Treehouse Suite -- added two years later. Amenities include electric car charger port, recycled bowling-lane countertops, gas fireplace and barbecue, an extensive library and DVD collection, high-speed Wi-Fi, and even a resident celebrity: 'Sue', a full-size replica of the Field Museum's famous T-Rex skull. The kitchen includes a gas range, microwave and dishwasher. The separate Treehouse Suite features a gas fireplace, freestanding tub and breathtaking second-story views. Skytop guests may rent it for an addition $100 per night, paid directly to the owner. (Sorry, no pets.)

Winter Getaway
Once again our family had a lovely winter getaway at Skytop. This gorgeous home is conveniently close to Winthrop yet feels like it's in the middle of nowhere. We can't wait to come back next year!

Well worth it!!!
My husband and son enjoyed their week long getaway together. They were very impressed with everything! My husband is disabled and this place worked very well for him. They're ready to stay here again next year!

We want to come back to Skytop! It's great.
My wife and I stayed at Skytop for several nights to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. And what a great place it is! From its well-equipped kitchen to its funky industrial theme (including electrical insulator table legs), we enjoyed it immensely. The bed is comfortable, everything works well, and the rainfall shower is pretty neat. And then there's the T.Rex skull over the fireplace and all the cool metal art both inside and out. The location was perfect for us, being close to Winthrop but away from the "maddening crowds" there. We've stayed in a number of vacation rentals, and this one is our favorite. We'll be back!

Skytop was as advertised and the 5 star reviews are spot on. The design of the property inside and out is well done and the building materials and decor are super cool. Michael was very accessible as well...highly recommended.
