Nestled along Washington's Skykomish River your waterfront lodge awaits, with floor-to-ceiling windows lending breathtaking views of flowing water and Cascade Mountain peaks. While only an hour from Seattle and 30 minutes to Stevens Pass Ski Resort, you will experience all the benefits of complete escape. Hiking, Skiing, Snowboarding, Snowshoeing, River Rafting, Fishing, Rock Climbing, Mountain Biking, Bird Watching and Scenic Driving all within our surrounding areas.

Our riverfronthome boasts vaulted ceilings with rustic timber beams, knotty-pine walls, and cozy stone fireplaces. Relax your cares away in well separated bedrooms with luxurious down pillows, comforters, featherbeds and linens. You will enjoy a fully equipped open kitchen, three bathrooms and complimentary eco-friendly supplies. The house is well suited for a vast range of guests and is as charmingly cozy as it is grand.

Our mountain retreat will serve as the perfect 'home-base' to enjoy all this exquisite region of the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Relax on the deck to immerse yourself in the surroundings and observe native wildlife in action...eagles soaring, fish swimming and hummingbirds feeding to name a few. Spend your evenings toasting marshmallows and telling stories gathered round the outdoor riverside firepit. During the day, walk out the door and down on the river bed to cast your line into what is known among avid steelhead fishermen as one of the best spots on the river! Skiing, snowboarding and the like can be found at The Summit of Stevens Pass. Hit the trail and marvel at the breathtaking Lake Serene or hike through nearby Wallace Falls State Park to hear the roar of its majestic 265-foot cascading waterfall. Thrill seekers will enjoy climbing the rocky face of Mt. Index, or rafting the rapids of our very own Skykomish River. For a beautiful drive and unique experience, head to the Bavarian village of Leavenworth for a day. If you fancy wine, enjoy an afternoon in Woodinville Wine Country to see and taste an array from over 75 wineries, both large and small.

Meanwhile, those who embrace simpler pleasures will drift quietly into serenity, surrounded by the thoughtful comforts and full amenities of the home. Enjoy quiet moments with a good book in a uniquely hand carved rocking chair overlooking the river and mountain range. Gather round the dining table for an afternoon puzzle or laugh-out-loud evening of board games. Gaze at the stars while toasting marshmallows and telling stories around the riverside firepit. Lay quietly at night and be lulled to sleep by the soothing sounds of the rushing river. Our lodge is accommodating and friendly to kids, senior-citizens and everyone in between! Enjoy a family vacation, friends getaway, special occasion or business retreat. In any case, your expectations will surely be exceeded. Whether it's restful relaxation or activity filled excitement you seek, you've found your destination. You will leave with a happy heart, peaceful mind and priceless memories.

    Such a beautiful place! Everything was so well stocked- they had everything you could possibly need. It was so cozy and welcoming. We got lucky with the weather and enjoyed bonfires by the river and played yard games. Everything was extremely well maintained and organized! Nicole was a wonderful host- so helpful & answered any questions we had. We will definitely go back again to stay. She even made sure we had a decorated Christmas tree since our family was celebrating an early Christmas! 10/10 experience. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

    I rarely stay at a property that completely exceeds all expectations, but this property did. It is perfect. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and with everything needed for a great stay. Including great pillows. The view is absolutely gorgeous, overlooking the river and looking toward two rocky peaks.The deck has shade and is a perfect spot for morning coffee, lunch or evening drinks. The living room is a comfortable gathering spot at the end of the day. The neighborhood is quiet. The owner is friendly, communicative and clear. Thank you Nicole for hosting us!

    My extended family and I had a fantastic time at this beautiful riverfront home. The house is very spacious and comfortable, the view is spectacular, and everyone in our party enjoyed the indoor and outdoor games. The hosts are very responsive and friendly. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

    The house is spacious with a great living room that fits a bunch of people. Nicole is a great host who's super responsive and accommodating. We couldn't have asked for anything more, except weather that would've let us use the fire pit which we were looking forward too. I guess we'll just have to come back another time.

    The photos do not do this place justice. First let me say Nicole was an amazing host to communicate with. 10/10 recommend just based off her interaction. The property was huge! I spent a large portion of my time on the deck facing the view of the river and the mountains. I wish I could record the sound of the flowing river because it was the most calming sound I’ve ever heard. The beds were extremely comfortable. Most places I’ve stayed at I’ve been missing my own bed but I can guarantee you will sleep like you’re on a cloud. We saw giant rainbows right in front of the mountains and although it was rainy most of the time, the sun still peaked out and it was absolutely gorgeous. Kitchen was stocked with everything you could need to make meals for a group. I will absolutely be back. Thank you SO much for this wonderful stay

    This is a great place to stay along the river. Clean, organized and attention to every detail. Kitchen very well equipped. Just bring luggage and food! Comfortable and one of the few rentals with 3 BR’s. Fantastic view of river and mountains. Close to Index. Check out The Bush House in Index. A quaint little Inn with a restaurant.

    We enjoyed our stay in Nicole's home. Check-in process was easy and the home was well-stocked and clean. Lots of activities to do in the home itself. We were able to walk down to the river but it does require some scrambling over the rocks to get there. Not a lot to do in the area itself (neighbourhood is pretty isolated) but if you can drive, there are lots of trails to explore within a 10-20 min drive. Overall, a pleasant family vacation!
