Nanasu is a 2,400 sq. foot house that is actually an amalgam of an existing home that was nicely added onto and then well landscaped. It has a varied outdoor space in summer, with sitting spots in the sun or shade. Protected or open. Looking without to the south and west, or within, to the landscaped lawn and garden. It is located just 3 miles from downtown Twisp, 8 miles from Winthrop, and 14 miles from Loup Loup Ski Bowl for downhill, luge (sledding), and Nordic skiing. The general layout has a large living area and somewhat separate dining and kitchen space(no dishwasher available). Off the living room is an office with a fold-down queen bed that can be used as a guest bedroom. This room and the living room both have walk-through doors to the patios. The main floor also has a large entry area for winter clothes and boots, as well as a full bath with a laundry area. The house has three cozy fireplaces and a heat pump for extra heat (and A/C).

On the second floor is the entertainment space with a large TV screen and two lounge chairs. This room also has a door to a nice second-floor east-facing balcony—a nice coffee spot. There is also the principal queen suite with a 3/4 bath, with heated floors. The view is open and striking.

This house is located on Nanasu Rd, which is where the name comes from. The word 'Nanasu' is Sanskrit for 'the realization of one's dreams', which is wonderful, especially given that the owners hope to live here one day. Until then, you get to share. When we were originally writing this webpage, we asked the owner if she wanted to write anything. She said, 'No, but what I will say, if this is helpful, is that what drew us to Nanasu was the feeling of being invited to be a part of the valley. The mountains and the valley welcomed us, and we are so enamored with how the house features, respects, and blends in with the environment. There is a sense of serene harmony while being elegantly functional and efficient. We are so pleased that it is built "energy-smart" with LED lighting, an on-demand water heater, and energy-efficient heating and windows. And there you have it.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT YEAR ROUND TRAVEL INFORMATION--READ BEFORE BOOKING A RESERVATION:
1)It is the responsibility of the guest to have travel plans in place to travel either over the North Cascades via Highway 20 OR to travel over Stevens Pass through Leavenworth OR to travel I-90 over Snoqualmie to Blewett Pass through Wenatchee and then up the Columbia River to the Methow Valley. If one route is closed, it is YOUR responsibility to make alternative travel plans. NO REFUNDS will be given at any time of the year simply because an alternate route must be taken, adding additional travel time. Highway 20 is closed in the winter, and mountain passes can be closed at any time of the year due to wildfires, rockslides, or other events. Directions over all the routes will be sent to you 3 days before your arrival. Make sure to check the pass reports (and they can change while you are en route) and print out the directions before you leave.

2)Trail Access/Closure Information:
If you are coming to hike, bike, or ski on a trail or system of trails which happen to be closed before or during your stay, NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN because of this. Trail closures can occur at any time due to fire, rockslides, mudflows... and we have no control over them. There are many hiking and biking trails of various kinds in the Methow Valley. If access to the North Cascades is closed via Hwy 20 for any reason, NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN because of this. There are beautiful hikes in and around our valley that we would be happy to recommend.
