Cabin in the Woods, or a Cottage in Town? Most people that visit and love to play in the Methow Valley dream of a cabin in the woods. In reality there are so many things to see and do in the beautiful valley, from rock climbing to road biking to fishing. A cabin in the woods may not be a practical solution with the additional cost and time wilderness living requires. Especially for part-timers, it is very easy to spend more time maintaining your property rather than enjoying all the valley has to offer.
