The Space:
Doe Meadow Cabin is a peaceful two-bedroom getaway located on the scenic Wilson Ranch property, just a short walk from the Freestone Inn. Surrounded by trees and open space, it offers an easy connection to the outdoors, with direct access to the Methow Community Trail for Nordic skiing, biking, and hiking throughout the seasons. In winter, the nearby Sandy Butte trail links you to the Upper Methow’s extensive Nordic system right from the property.

The cabin includes two bright and comfortable bedrooms with forest views framed by corner windows. One bedroom has a king bed, and the other is furnished with two twins. The living area is warm and functional, with wood-paneled walls, a queen sleeper sofa, an armchair, a dining table for six, a wide-screen TV (currently no channels), WIFI, and a gas stove for heat and atmosphere. The galley kitchen includes an electric stove and oven, under-counter refrigerator, microwave, sink, and coffee maker - everything you need for a self-catered stay. The bathroom has a shower and compact layout. Outside, you’ll find a small deck with Adirondack chairs and a propane grill.

Doe Meadow Cabin comfortably accommodates up to six guests and serves as a convenient base for exploring the Methow Valley. North Cascade Heli-Skiing operates close by on the Freestone property, making this a prime location for heli-skiers during the winter months. Please note that helicopter noise may occasionally be heard in ski season. The Mazama trailhead and nearby forest routes are just minutes away, providing quick access to some of the best trails and scenery in the North Cascades.

Dogs welcome.

The Neighborhood:
MAZAMA
Wilson Ranch is located 2 miles (10 minute bike ride) from the Mazama Store and the Methow Trails trailhead (for great hiking, mountain biking and cross-country ski trail options). In addition to the store with its great bakery and grocery, Mazama is home to the Goat’s Beard outdoor store (with mountain bike and fat bike rentals), the Mazama Ski School for cross country ski hire and lessons and the Mazama Public House. Please be aware that the Sandy Butte Bistro at the nearby Freestone Inn is not currently operating, and Jack's Hut may or may not be open on a very limited basis.

NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK
The Wilson Ranch cabins are also conveniently situated for easy access to the North Cascades and the trailheads to many of the Park's world-class hiking trails. It’s under 20 minutes drive to the Cutthroat Lake trailhead, 25 minutes to Washington Pass and 30 minutes to Maple Pass trailhead. Great for beating the crowds and snagging a trailhead parking spot at peak seasons.
