Historic Freestone Inn in Mazama listed for sale at $5.99 million

MAZAMA — A celebrated destination in Washington’s Methow Valley, the Freestone Inn portfolio is now on the market, offering investors a chance to own a piece of North Cascades history.

The property, located at 31 Early Winters Drive in Mazama, is listed for $5,995,000. The portfolio includes 12 rooms and five suites in the main lodge, eight rental cabins, a manager’s cabin, a commercial kitchen, a restaurant and bar, Jack’s Hut pizza pub, a community pool, and a hot tub. The site comprises 27,750 square feet of hospitality space across 11 buildings.

“The Freestone Inn is a rare investment opportunity that blends scenic beauty, historic significance, and a thriving recreational market,” said Adam Rynd, listing agent with Coldwell Banker Cascade Real Estate. Rynd can be reached at 206-799-1059 or adam@cbcascade.com for more information.

The inn’s origins trace back to the late 1940s, when Jack and Elsie Wilson left San Francisco to settle in Mazama and built the original Early Winters cabins, a stock barn, and a one-acre lake. Jack Wilson, known for his passion for the outdoors, led packhorse excursions, hunting trips, and fishing tours, drawing guests from around the world, including celebrities and political figures.

In 1996, Wilson’s long-held vision for a full-service resort was realized with the construction of the Freestone Inn on the lake he had created decades earlier. The inn has since earned accolades including recognition as one of Travel and Leisure magazine’s “Top 25 Lodges in America.”

Situated near the Methow Valley Trail System and North Cascades National Park, the property remains a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts throughout the year.

The sale presents a unique opportunity to continue a legacy of rustic hospitality and wilderness adventure in one of Washington’s most scenic regions.
