The Mazama Store, with its great bakery and ‘a little bit of everything good’ is just a 5-minute drive or 10-minute bike ride from the cabin; or around 20 minutes by skis (depending on how fast you slide and glide). Mountain bike and ski rentals are also available in Mazama.

The old west town of Winthrop is 15 miles and under 20 minute’s drive down valley, with its great shopping, bakery and dining establishments.
