Fire Season
Wildfire is part of the ecosystem of the Methow Valley. Fire Season is typically mid-July through early October. Smokey air and the potential for road closures can be expected. Booking a reservation during the fire season comes with risk. The Freestone Inn will follow normal cancellation policy unless extreme situation arises.

Winter Season
Guests can typically expect snow November through April every year. On average we receive 155 inches of snowfall a year and frequently this effects the pass conditions. If guests are booking reservations during this time, it should be understood they are doing so at their own risk. There is one exception to our normal cancellation policy during winter season. Cancellations will be made without penalty if there is only one pass or no passes are open to the Methow Valley.
