    The interiors are meant to be quaint with a mountainous feeling, but in reality everything old and worn out. All materials and surfaces need updating. For my husband and I, it was difficult to spend one more second than necessary inside this chalet

    Property response:

    We appreciate your feedback Valinda. The cabin I upgraded you to for free was built in 1948 and has a rustic charm. The property has new management that have been tirelessly working on renovations while keeping that wonderful charm. We have a very bright future with all of the wonderful things happening here and we hope you will come back to see us the next time you visit our little paradise here in the Methow Valley. Cheers!

    They were available on July 4th, I now understand why. No bed bugs, I think.

    I was there with a group, so we got to try a room and a cabin. There were bugs all over the room. Nothing was clean, and the entire property seemed pretty run down. The descriptions are misleading. Most of the rooms are labeled as cabins but are actually just motel rooms. The actual cabins are tiny, they feel smaller than the motel rooms. When trying to unload into the cabin at night their sprinklers came on, which were aimed at the walkways so I ended up getting soaked right before bed. We had called their phone number during normal daylight hours, which directed us to a generic customer service line, which wasn't very helpful. The customer service told us they offered coffee and fresh baked goods for breakfast. When I asked the owners about it in the morning, they just that was wrong. I know i booked on July 4th, but this place gave the value of a *cheap* 1 star motel, but is priced like a 4 star hotel.

    Property response:

    We appreciate your feedback Mahmoud. You are right we do not have bed bugs. The little bugs you mention are called Elm Seed Bugs. During July these little bugs are in Twisp because of the lovely Elm Trees. Homes and 5-star hotels in the area get them, we stay on top of them and apologize for them bugging you. The cabins have a full size kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom with a large back yard and a nice front yard. We do have sprinklers to keep our beautiful landscape green in dry eastern Washington and time them during quiet hours. Our normal office hours are 1:30-9:30. We do apologize that the call center steered you wrong on breakfast. We are currently renovating and have many exciting things in store for this property. We have 8 cabins and 12 motel rooms and 4 units with full kitchens. We do hope the next time you are in our lovely corner of the world that you will stay with us. Cheers!

    The manager was very friendly. The location was perfect for our needs.the newly remodeled shower was tiny but nice.

    There were dozens of dead bugs on the bedding . The manager immediately changed all the bedding for us. The noise of the rodents in the walls and the kitchen cabinets kept me awake most of the night. The outward appearance of the kitchen area was clean but upon opening a drawer it was full of rodent feces.

    Property response:

    We appreciate your feedback. Twisp does see it's fair share of Elm Seed Bugs in June and July. No property is safe if they have Elm trees. I am glad we could quickly get your bedding changed and we apologize for the inconvenience. We have been busy renovating since you were last here and we welcome you back next time you are in the valley. Cheers!

    Everything worked. Other guests were polite. Ample parking

    Room reeked of cigarette smoke from the previous occupant. Window blinds leaked much light

    The room was huge and very comfortable for me and my two kiddos. I was concerned about arriving late, but when I called the gentleman I spoke with was very helpful and I later received an email with my room number and pertinent information.

    I thought that I had reserved a cabin and instead was given a motel room. However, the room was still enormous and quiet.

    We were a group of four friends (1 guy & 3 ladies) traveling together so the availability of three beds was essential to us. The cabin was older but was clean and equipped to meet all the basic needs. We loved the well equipped kitchen. The bathroom even had bath robes, makeup remover and disposable slippers! Free coffee, juice and mini muffins were offered in the office.

    The full size mattress was a bit soft.

    Location was good, close to town.

    Furniture and carpet were visibly dirty. Bathroom: above shower drywall was coming off and bubbled. Spa was empty, and when I booked, it said nothing about the spa not being available. We probably would not stay there again.

    Nice location. Clean and bed was comfortable.

    Needs a lot of TLC. Minimum outlets, heat didn't work and water was luke warm in shower. There weren't any nightstands, shelves or hooks for personal items (there was a shelf in the closet but suitcases had to go on the floor). Price was high for rental but maybe you're paying to be close to the mountains?

    Lots of hot water. Nice grassy area for dogs. Good location.

    Air conditioner didn’t work properly and died the last night there. Front door handle kept coming off. Stove was missing a burner. Lots of little bugs coming in from the cracks around windows and doors. No instructions for the tv and a remote that controlled the tv. With a little upkeep, these cabins would be great. Oh, and the sheets kept coming loose. Maybe get some sheets that fit better or a strap thingy that holds them in place.

    Not much

    Where to start, No one to greet us Lots of insects in the cabin AC did not work very well Food left on the floor Toilet seat that only fits 10 and under Shower was moldy Given the choice of driving to Omak or Wenatchee keep driving or sleep in your car. At half the price it would have been overpriced.

    False advertising: I booked with Idle a While Cabins, not Idle a While motel. They are on the same site, and are the same business, but I booked a cabin and was given a motel room. The price was good for the cabin but not good for the room, which had no cooking facilities. However, the internet was satisfactory and the location was convenient to town.

    The motel room smelled so stale I was almost overcome. I don't think it was cigarette smoke, but it was just so stale - was it the carpet or other soft furnishings? The air conditioner was incredibly noisy.
