Mt Gardner Inn

We stayed here with our family and dog and absolutely loved it! The room was clean, nicely decorated and had nice coffee and natural shampoo/​soap dispenser. I love that the owners care about the environment. It’s in a beautiful location and walking distance to town. The rates are a bargain for what you get and the owners are super sweet and friendly! Definitely coming back soon.

The owners were very helpful accommodating our kayaks and bicycles while we were here. The WIFI was faultless while I worked for 4 biz days between weekends while my husband continued to fish & play. The bed was very comfortable, the fridge was good sized.
Winthrop is a great base for mountain biking and river activities in the summer.
I am planning on returning and doing the same thing next year!

My husband and I stayed here on a road trip on the North Cascades Highway. Great location. Within walking distance to «town». We brought our beagle and were amazed at how clean or «dog room» was. NIcely appointed room with incredibly comfortable bed. Nice outdoor area with table and chairs. Unbelievable view of the mountains. We will definately stay here on our next visit. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We love this place! Have stayed here during Thanksgiving 4 years in a row now. Personal touches with the owners on site. Great location, easy reservations, warm and cozy, reasonable rates, great owners. Look forward to our stay this week!

Had a great stay at the Mt. Gardner Inn.
Location is great, right across the bridge and not far from anything.
Check-​in process was painless.
Room was the perfect size and comfortable. These rooms are not fancy, but we certainly didn’t care.
Room had a microwave, good coffee (Seattle’s Best), and a fridge/​freezer combo.
The whole place was very kid and family friendly.
There is a great common area for lounging around or BBQ’ing and the whole facility is in excellent shape.
It is really hard to beat these guys on price alone. Their rates are very reasonable and more important it is a local small business.
We will definitely be staying here again!

Absolutely Great Inn! We stayed here on our way from Anacortes and through the North Cascades. Can’t beat a place for the location, the price, and the great owners! Plus, there’s a fly shop as the lobby. .. Would love to spend some time on the water with these guys.

GREAT inn. Brother and I spent a night in Winthrop on a Cascade Loop trip. I had booked the room online several weeks prior. Upon arriving after 6pm rang the service bell on the counter and short time later were greeted by the owner who had been out gardening. Beautiful gardens on the grounds by the way. She was incredibly nice and personable.
Stayed in the Grouse room which is upstairs in the middle of the back building. Not huge by U.S. standards but it is large enough and extremely clean. Beds are large and comfortable. TV is a large flat panel with good selection of channels. By the way in response to another reviewer who complained about the lack of channel guide… we found an on-​screen channel guide on one of the low numbered channels. Easy. In addition to the TV channels there are a ton of audio-​only channels. Décor is great. Check out their website for pics of the décor in each room… each one is different and I picked the Grouse room as it seems the most masculine. Good sized balcony that overlooks the front courtyard, gardens, neighboring properties, and the mountains beyond. The A/​C worked great, helped to drown out our snoring (family curse). There is a small fridge and microwave. There is free WiFi — see instructions in the room if needed. Worked perfectly for both of us.
Bathroom is great. Good lighting, large mirror, good size toilet. The shower head is up high, which my 6 foot 3 brother appreciated. Everything is so CLEAN.
Deer are everywhere in and around Winthrop. Saw a deer in the evening and in the morning just from our room. Also enjoyed watching the acrobatic birds. The inn is a good walk from town, I suspect most people would want to take a quick drive down instead. There are some restaurants close by the Inn and the grocery store is very close.
My previous stays in Winthrop have been at the Hotel Rio Vista — also a great place — but will definitely stay here again.

Stayed there 5÷12÷2011. Booked the room on line, and on arrival told she (perhaps the owner) had upgraded us to a better room. Doubtful. All the comments in the guest comment book said the same thing. IT appears the difference between standard and deluxe is deluxe has ‘rough hewn’ wood furniture. The chairs are not comfortable. The beds were terrific, with no apparent bugs. The tv worked, but there was no channel guide.
Tell me, how many of you spend the evening without some TV. And the owners don’t watch TV so they don’t have channel guides or provide info on how to find standard channels. So why is there a TV in the room???
Small room, small bath, door to little patio does not have double lock-​sort of unsecure. Why the deadbolt on the main door and not on the other.
Had a clock/​radio/​cd player that couldn’t be set by a relatively intelligent adult-​and we didn’t have a 13 yr old available. Niggly but still…
Will I stay there again? Probably not.

What an adorable place! We had a great experience.
This family-​run hotel had really comfortable beds and lots of pillows! (Seven on each bed!) It was very clean and we were pleasantly surprised to discover a microwave and mini-​fridge in the room as well. Seems very recently remodeled and everything was clean. I especially liked the sink area being separate from the shower/​toilet.
I’d stay there again if I decide to go back to Winthrop!

Very nice small hotel. The rooms we stayed in on the ground floor were newly remodeled and quite nice. The Inn is owned by a family living on site which makes for a friendly experience. Both of our rooms had large flat screen TVs with would could plug a portable DVD player into. A DVD player was the one thing lacking in the room, they’re under $ 50 now so there’s really no excuse for not providing one.
I would stay here again on my next trip to Winthrop.

Reasonably priced and relatively new charming inn, we called that morning (at the end of February) and reserved a room. Apparently they don’t do much business this time of year, because they gave us a free upgrade to a slightly nicer room. Tons of down pillows and plenty of blankets made everything quite cozy as we watched the snow fall outside. The only drawback was we couldn’t hook up our laptop to the TV to watch movies. But otherwise highly recommended.
