Family winter stay

We had a wonderful wintery stay at this home in Mazama! The location was great and we enjoyed the fenced back yard which the dogs/kids could play and sled. The trail out back was a bonus. We loved the proximity to the XC ski trails and town.

Best of Mazama

We Loved this place! It had everything we needed for a wonderful cross country ski vacation. The only small issues-only one dish towel and the basement bedroom, which was very nice unfortunately had a chemical smell about it. I definitely recommend this place!!!

Private retreat

This rustic home holds a surprising number of people comfortably and is conveniently located a few miles from Mazama. A path through the aspens takes you down to the river and to the Methow Community Trail. Although the living room is a bit small, the dining table can feed everyone.dining

Wonderful property near Winthrop

Wonderful property with several bedrooms. Although it was just my husband, my dog, and myself, I can see this being a good place for larger groups. The yard was perfect for dogs. The cabin was a short distance from Winthrop, a charming little town. There is a small trail behind the cabin.

Such a great spot!

My wife and I share the same birthday and this year was her 40th! The Firefly cabin was just the place to use as home base while we celebrated, floated, shopped and enjoyed the beauty of the Methow Valley. Thank you Tomoko for having such a unique, clean, and great place!

Great for dogs!

The Firefly Cabin is a great place for people and their dogs. Nice fenced yard for dogs. The house was a bit big for us with only 4 people, so this would definitely be good for larger families. Location is close to the MCT and its easy to drive to other trailheads for Mt. Biking and hiking. We would love to visit in the winter to enjoy the nordic skiing.

Cascades Adventure

It was our 2nd time staying in this VRBO - very comfortable & such lovely air conditioning as it was in the 100’s. We hiked every day - kids & grandkids camped close by - we had such great family time! Oscar (our dog) was happy to roam free in the beautiful fenced yard! Thank you 😊

Great spot

We stayed two nights here as a spot to enjoy the North Cascades. Great kitchen.We did not use the lower level, although there was a lot of space down there. The circular staircase to the upper level looks cool, but is a bit tricky for anyone with bad knees. The back deck was wonderful, and the grill was fantastic. Opening the doors and just enjoying the outdoors was a treat.

Great get away

This home was advertised exactly as we found it. The set up was perfect for getting together with our adult children and each of them had a great private room, comfy bed and nice space. The internet was great. The kitchen was fully set up. I enjoyed the little notes throughout the home so you knew what the owner expected and little things like retracting screen doors. Excellent property!

Family vacation

This was a great place to spend time with our adult kids and their dogs. The owners were very quick to respond to messages and were very accommodating. The cabin was pleasant and had everything we needed. It is convenient to North Cascades National Park where we spent the bulk of our time. The little towns of Mazama and Winthrop are quaint and we enjoyed getting coffee, doing some shopping, getting coffee, eating out, and getting more coffee. We would definitely stay here again.

Pleasant but buggy

The house was nicely equipped, very clean and comfortable. We wish we had known how bad the mosquitoes were in that area. Our only suggestion is a netted off area outside. The proximity to Mazama and the trails there was great.

Great stay!

The home was a great spot to relax and have some family time for a short getaway weekend. The beds were comfortable and the house had plenty of space for 4 adults and 1 toddler. The kitchen had all the basics needed to cook meals and the Mazama store a few miles away had some groceries and an amazing bakery. I had read in some other reviews that the internet was spotty but we had no issues with two of us working on laptops for a few hours at the same time. The main living room tv also had a netflix account set up that we used to stream a few movies.

About the host

Hosted by Tomoko Okubo

Host profile image
We are a couple who live in the Seattle area and try to escape the big city to our cabin in the Methow Valley as often as possible. We are experienced in tackling remodeling projects and were particularly drawn to this 100-year-old cabin for its rich history, beautiful scenery and potential to make it a home-away-from-home.

Why they chose this property

When visiting our cabin in spring, summer and fall, we love the fragrant pine smell while hiking our own trail that leads to the main MVSTA. Of course, the best part of visiting in the winter is the skiing. The snow is incomparable for cross country and skate skiing and the many miles of trails provide serene skiing with rarely bumping into other skiers. Our favorite haunts for shopping and dining are a short drive away to Winthrop. We also like going to the luxurious Sun Mountain Lodge for Sunday brunch.

What makes this property unique

This old house was built in 1906 as the main ranch house on the Big Valley Ranch, which was then located three miles west of Winthrop. In 1990 the building was moved to this location and placed on a daylight basement foundation and remodeled as a guest house. It has been remodeled further to the conveniences of modern living without losing its character. The yard is suitable for children and dogs. We hope you like it.
