Cozy Riverside Cabin Near Stevens Pass and Hiking on the Skykomish River

** Now Back on VRBO (2017) **

A Riverside Retreat is vacation rental cabin located on the Skykomish River in the scenic town of Index, WA, only one hour from downtown Seattle, and 29 miles from Stevens Pass. This area has recently been designated as the 'Wild Sky Wilderness Area' and was featured in the hit film "Captain Fantastic" starring Viggo Mortensen.

With only 150 residents, Index is the smallest town in western Washington, and it is blessed with amazing views of jagged snow capped mountains, huge granite cliffs, a crystal clear mountain river that runs right through town, and is surrounded by an awesome rain forest right out of the movie 'Twilight.'

This freshly refurnished 2-bedroom cabin sleeps up to 5 in absolute comfort with premium beds and luxury linens.

For your safety and comfort, we follow Covid cleaning protocols and dont allow smoking or pets on the property.

Fully equipped to satisfy all of your needs, our vacation home includes hot tub, air-conditioning, high speed wireless Internet, plenty of entertainment options (see below), a full-size washer and dryer, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor gas grill and much more. We even include complimentary coffee, and popcorn. What are you waiting for? Book now to reserve your perfect dates!

Located right along the Skykomish river at the west end of town on a giant 5 lot property, you'll enjoy the 'best view in town' right from your covered front porch or cozy interior. This is not your typical 'funky' cabin in the forest, but a tastefully decorated and sparkling clean retreat - at an incredible value. We've designed it to be warm, inviting, and perfect for a weekend getaway for a couple, two couples, or a small family.

You'll find all the comforts of home including high-speed wireless Internet, a 50' plasma TV, Blue Ray DVD player, bluetooth Marshall and Bose stereos, a dozen board games, and an open floor plan with hardwood floors throughout.

Though the house is brimming with entertainment options, it's also an amazing place to just relax and do nothing but watch the river go by. With resident bald eagles soaring overhead, the mountain river rushing by, the amazing fresh air purified by the surrounding forest, and the spring fed water right out of the tap - you won't find a better place to rejuvenate your body and mind.

Index and the surrounding area is a sporting paradise with excellent access to hiking, biking, kayaking, river rafting, fishing, skiing (cross country and downhill), ATV riding, horseback riding and more. In the winter months, nearby Stevens Pass is a big draw as one of the top skiing destinations in the Pacific Northwest. In the summer, the wild Skykomish River is the star of the show offering adrenaline filled whitewater challenges, or a lazy float on a hot summer day. The Skykomish is also widely know for its excellent fishing with the top draw being the world renowned Steelhead. Known as the fish of a thousand casts, they can be extremely challenging to hook and even more so to land - but when you do, you'll have accomplished a major fishing milestone of which you can be very proud.

-----------------------------
Things to see in town:
-----------------------------
The town of Index is very small and you can walk the entire town (every street!) in under an hour. Along the way you'll find lots of things to see. In the center of town as you cross the bridge, you'll find the index General Store which has been serving Index residents for longer than anyone can remember. Inside the store, you'll find a very old-school post office.

Across from the store is the Outdoor Adventure Center which is a rafting and kayaking outfitter where you can rent equipment, take lessons, and join a whitewater trip. Their headquarters, the River House, doubles as a coffee lounge offering hand crafted coffee drinks, fresh baked goods, Internet access and good information on what's happening in town.

Newly reopened after a decade long restoration project the Bush House Inn is now serving guests for lunch and dinner. Also in the center of town is Doolittle park, named after one of the pioneers of the area. The park offers a covered picnic area as well as a tennis court, basketball court and public restrooms. On display is a giant saw blade that was used to cut granite at the local quarry. The granite steps of the Washington state capitol building were cut right here in Index.

To learn more about how Index came to be, be sure to visit PIckett's Museum where you can see amazing photographs and artifacts of an era gone by. You'll be shocked to learn that Index once had 2000 residents when it boomed, and you can see photographs of the giant trees that were harvested from the area.

As of 2012, the historic Bush House was purchased and is underwent a decade long restoration. Now open, they offer coffee and baked goods in the morning as well as full service lunch and dinner courtesy of the North Fork kitchen.

Across from the Bush House is the Index Elementary school where local students of 6 grades share 2 classrooms. With one of the best student-teacher-ratio's in the state, the school is an excellent place for kids. They also have a nice playground that your kids are welcome to use during off hours.

In 2008 the huge ridge across the river from town was saved from logging by a local effort known as 'Friends of Heybrook Ridge.' The organization raised enough money to purchase the land from a private company and have made the ridge an eco-tourist and educational destination. There is parking lot with educational signage that leads to two different trails. This is an excellent addition to the town of Index and allows people of all ages to easily access a 100-year-old 2nd growth rain forest and learn about the flora and fauna. Get the All Trails app and find Heybrook Ridge for details.

When you stay with us, you will have no limit to the number of amazing hikes in the area. For starters, here's a few popular ones:

* Wallace Falls
* Deception Falls
* Bridal Veil Falls & Lake Serene
* The Iron Goat Trail
* Barclay Lake
* Heybrook Ridge
* Heybrook Firetower


-------------------
Day Trip(s)
-------------------

Depending on the weather, a very popular day trip for visitors is to cross Stevens pass into the eastern side of the state where you'll find yourself in the German styled town of Leavenworth. The streets are lined with tourist-attracting shops and there are several good restaurants to try. One of our favorites is Gustav's at the west end of town offering fantastic bratwurst and cold beer. Try the outdoor deck upstairs when the weather is nice - a great way to spend a couple of hours.

Heading the other direction, Seattle is only an hour away. Check out Pike Place outdoor market where you can grab coffee at the very first Starbucks, watch the fish mongers throw fish, and shop for fresh produce and hand made crafts. It's open every day of the year rain or shine! Or take a ride up the space needle where you can see the whole city, or journey off on a ferry ride to picturesque Bainbridge Island for lunch. There is certainly plenty to do in the Emerald City if you get the itch for city life during your stay. And at only an hour away, getting there and back is half the fun.

----------------------------
Questions - just ask!
----------------------------

We are very excited to share this amazing area with you, and we hope that you consider staying with us. If you have ANY questions about anything, feel free to ask.

We hope to host you soon!

Comfortable home base
This home was a great home base for our hiking adventures in the area. It is close to several trailheads and Wallace Falls State Park. It is is a quiet area and the view was beautiful from the front porch. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking some of our meals instead of eating out all the time. Only used the hot tub once...but was in perfect working order. Would definately consider staying hear again if in the area.

Great spot!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Index is a quaint community nestled on the river and surrounded by amazing views and scenery. The views from the front porch are fantastic. The house is stocked with everything you need. Plus, the outdoor living areas push it up a level. You have the river just steps away. That offers its own set of activities. The house was clean, beds comfortable and it just felt comfortable. We actually enjoyed having the trains come through. After a few days, you start to pick up on their schedule. Hands down, we’d return. The owners are top notch regarding communication and information.

Fabulous cozy spot with gorgeous views
The house was well equipped with kitchen ware, games and easily navigated instructions on the wifi, tv options, and gas fireplace. There nice linens and fuzzy blankets as well and a thoughtful bottle of wine. The covered hot tub was much appreiated in the winter weather. The location was close to the small town if we had needed anything. Our only missing star in the review was because we didnt expect the street in front of the house, between the house and the river, to have as much walking car car traffic. We expected it to be more secluded. All passing company were friendly and quiet so we weren't actually bothered by it though. Overall a fantastic stay, especially for the price and thoughtfulness put into the house. Thank you for sharing it with us, we will be back again!

Excellent Riverside Retreat
This house has everything that we needed during our stay in Index. The location is easy to access from the bridge, and the view in front of the house is just gorgeous. The kitchen is fully stocked, the bedrooms are good size, and the bedding is soft and comfortable. We loved the flow of the house. One of our favorite things to do while at the house was to drink coffee on the porch and just enjoyed the view of the mountain and river. We would love to return some time in the future. We highly recommend this house!

Incredible place
We loved our 3 days in Index. The house was really nice with great accommodations for us and and our 5 month old son. The hosts were very thoughtful and informative about the house and the area. The Mountain View from the front porch is absolutely amazing. We enjoyed hiking at Serene lake and bridal veil falls 6 minutes from the house. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Cute & Comfy
My little family of four stayed here Aug 2016 and we had such a nice time. The home felt so warm and cozy, lots of neat touches. The location is perfect, so peaceful, and we all loved the access to the bikes! It was great to wind-down for the weekend and the hot tub was a special treat. I have to say I cannot stop thinking about the king bed! Hands down the best sleep I've ever had... I want one exactly like it in my house!

Perfect Winter Getaway
This was the sweetest little cottage. We went for a girls get away for a long weekend. We especially enjoyed the beautiful view out the large picture window, the sound of the river and the relaxing hot tub! Highly recommended especially if you live in Seattle since it's so close but feels far into nature.

Scenic Views & Relaxation
My family and I had a wonderful time during our stay (2 adults; 2 children). We were amazed by the views of the mountains and river from the property. Everything was a described and the owners also include thoughtful things that travelers might want or need, like just a good book to read. And there was plenty to do in the area in terms of exploring trails, etc. We hope to return again soon!

Home is out dated . Does not feel secure . No easy river access for people with disabilities.
We arrived 1 hour before check in to make sure we were in the right spot and noticed a car in the drive way which was ok because we were early We drove around and came back at 4 pm to find the car still there and music playing loudly we pulled in and it was the house keeper needless to say she did not leave until almost 5pm . First impression is it does not reflect the photos the home is outdated from the 70's theme photos made it appear the river was accessible easily not the case for someone like me with a disability. It just wasn't for us . We did not stay the evening as we had sick kids to go home to anyhow . Regardless the front door doesn't stay shut without locking the deadbolt and the back door is flimsy at best . Like I said for the cost of this I expected more .

Amazing views from a bright, charming home!
We really enjoyed staying at this Index retreat, in late March. The location/views were fabulous....the nearby snow covered mountains and rock walls are way more impressive than the pictures can show. The home felt nicer inside than the pictures portrayed also, with quality bedding and vintage touches throughout. The kitchen had everything we needed-stove, microwave, tea kettle, coffee pot, etc and we made good use of the crockpot too. We ended up not using the BBQ but it was in good shape. The driving directions and overall instructions were helpful and worked out as planned. The home sits on the street rather than directly on the water but we enjoyed it just as well and appreciated that we could fish a ways down without being on someone else's property. We enjoyed the trains but they come directly through town, whistling throughout the nite. I slept through them but people who are light sleepers will want to keep this in mind if wanting to stay anywhere in Index (not just this place). Also, use the dryer during daytime hours as it has a loud squeeking sound. Overall, we found the home and the town quite charming and loved our stay.

A treat of a retreat :)
This place is wonderful. It connects to almost all (if not all) your needs you may have as a family, group of friends or single traveler. I was impressed how this place caters to many kinds of guests with various traveling agendas. It is secluded just enough to feel at peace (with truly picturesque views) yet close enough to many great hiking points and other adventures. It thoughtfully has local maps, activities suggestions, house-guide, magazines for a lazy morning, board games, grill, very nice private hottub and it made me feel very comfortable, welcomed and at home. The front of the house (including kitchen) is filled with natural light in the morning and puts one in such an optimistic mood for the day! The bedroom is cozy and the bed is extra comfortable, which is a huge plus for any kind of a day :)

It's one of those rare vacation rentals that you might find that is perfect and worthy stating in. The location is quite and everybody is friendly. The house is pretty much has everything you might need from cookware to just chilling. The owners are helpful folks. I would differently stay there the next time I'm around Seattle.

What a wonderful place to visit! Index is a great small town with loads of personality. We were able to explore state parks, Mt Rainier, the cascade loop and some of the islands. The best was swimming in the river...very refreshing and fantastic after a day of hiking! It did take a couple of days getting use to the train whistle as it was warm and we had the windows open at night. Your home was an awesome homebase for all our travels. Thanks for some great memories!

lovely and cozy home away from home
This Index house is one of a kind. It offers more than any hotel can offer. Magical sleeping experience on the cloud-like bed, and beautiful views of the forest with the snow covered mountain peaks. We really enjoyed our stay in this cozy house, and regreted that we could not stay longer. For people like us, who likes outdoor activities , this house is ideal: it is surrounded by sights of waterfalls and hiking trails, it has a jaccuzi and mountain river, on top of everything there are plenty of bicycles to explore sight seeings. It felt like luxury camping in the middle of forest. Thank you dear owners:)))

Fantastic, Inspiring Location
We used this rental for a movie shoot, so it was not a typical rental, but the location was just fantastic. You are in between gorgeous river views and a sheer cliff, that seems like something out of a storybook. Cast members noted that they had not seen a location like this outside of Norway, yet this was actually a very easy, brief drive about an hour outside Seattle. I would love to visit again as an actual guest, based on the scenic views. The house itself was very well-kept and homey. It is someone's home, so that seemed to make sense. Definite 5 star rating. Thanks to these guys for being so open to an art project in their home!

Romantically enchanting
I have been here too many times to count. I just keep coming back. This is hands down the best place to stay if you love the outdoors. The Skykomish river is literally in the front yard. There are tons of hiking trails nearby. Stevens Pass is a few minutes away. From the front porch Mount Index is breathtaking, especially when covered in snow. The hammock and fire pit are perfect in the summer, as are snowball fights and the hot tub in the winter. For those who aren't into the outdoors, there's a huge tv with cable and tons of movies, a wii, and non-electronic games too. The house is great for groups, couples, or solo. Speaking of couples, I always thought winter would be my favorite time to visit, but that all changed this summer. I got engaged during my most recent visit to A Riverside Retreat. I couldn't imagine a more appropriate place for this to have taken place. It's a moment I will never forget. The setting is perfect, no matter what you're looking for. After your first visit to A Riverside Retreat, you won't be able to stay away either.
