Very cold. I moved the couch so it did not block the baseboard heater. All is good—- Magda made me coffee beans locally scoured from Twisp—let me know the levels in the hot tub were below the recommended ceiling. Let me park Tacoma and UhAul trailer in gravel parking lot and go back and sleep some more

It was a comfortable stay in the room and the hot tub was a nice surprise, however the walls are thin, so the guests next door we’re a bit noisy, including a barking dog at times and snoring at night.
Nice hotel/motel with everything you need. Not fancy/new, but everything was in good working condition and order; the a/c was very good. Small breakfast available in the morning. Jacuzzi was very clean. Fenced dog park on their property. They were in the middle of some remodeling at the time of our stay. Lovely staff
Overall, Idle A While is a convenient place for travelers to the Northen Cascade National Park area for hikings and other activities when they have a pet and no other hotels available in Wintrop, as it's just a 20 away on Hwy 20 in Twisp. We stayed here and upon checking in got a gift for our dog which was a pleasant surprise. The hotel owner's wife even made some muffins for breakfast for the guests. Recommended!
Ease of communication, I received a text message w/room number and door key code. Room is updated and modern, clean and comfortable. Lots of hot water but bathroom could use a little more lighting in the night.

This is an older property. We knew this and were there for deer hunting. We obviously knew that the interiors aren't brand new. We wanted a unit that had a full kitchen so we could prepare meals. We had an issue with our 1st nights room and brought it to the attention of management. He was very accommodating and moved us to another room. Very good customer service.
This is a very nice establishment with friendly staff. They have a lot of amenities and are very welcoming to pets. We would happily return to Idle-A-While.
