Mazama in the Methow Valley

Mazama in the Methow Valley

7/17/2009 6:45:09 PM
We have today returned from 5 nights at River House, a vacation cabin near the banks of the Methow River in the Lost river area 7 miles NW of Mazama (see map here for our route.)
 
A seasonal river channel, accessed by low bank water front and private river beach, was only steps away from the backdoor -- a few steps further and the dogs played in the year-round Methow River (too cold even for Stephen!).
The River House has breathtaking views of Last Chance Point and Driveway Butte.
Here is some more info, with photos and a virtual tour!
The reason for our trip 'east of the mountains' was twofold, to celebrate our 5th Wedding Anniversary and Stephen's Birthday.  We were married at Freestone Inn (Cutthroat Lodge to be precise) and ate dinner in the Dining Room at Freestone Inn, at the very table we ate our dinner at 5 years ago ... pure coincidence!  Funnily enough, there were two other couples already in the reasurant when we arrived and they were both celebrating Wedding Anniversaries too!.
