The view is was the best part, but overall it was disappointing. Considering the size of the space, 145 felt like an outsized cleaning fee, so I was very put off to receive an additional list of check-out cleaning requirements with the check-in instructions. At the very least, the cleaning list should be included with the booking information so it's clear what the cleaning fee does (and does NOT) cover. On top of that, the place was not particularly clean: -the stacked plates were wet in-between them (probably due to the requirement that clean dishes be put away and not left on drying mat) - the hot tub had a band of grease/scum along the waterline, but was also overwhelming full of chlorine. It was gross and we barely used it. -lots of cobwebs and dust in the loft On our final night, the smoke/CO2 detector began malfunctioning with an error message every 10 minutes or so. Because there was no wifi or cell service (something I had originally seen as a positive) I had no way to contact the host, and had the unfortunate choice between disabling the detector and getting no sleep. I messaged the host about this as soon as I could the next morning, and he never responded. It's also worth noting that the location is not nearly as private as it seems. There are cabins close on both sides, one less than 20 feet away.

This cute little cabin was just what we needed to recharge from the hustle of the real world. Falling asleep to the sound of the river was peaceful. The hot tub over looking the river was enjoyable. Would definitely recommend. The Dvd and Vhs selection was way cool. We didnt need to get ahold of the owners during our stay but communication before hand was great. Directions to the place were easy. And or stay was very comfortable.

this cozy little A-frame was a perfect escape from the bustle of the city. the view is breathtaking, the hot tub was toasty and the bed was comfy. We enjoyed watching the wide selection of VHS/DVDs by the fireplace. The little town of Index was cute and quaint, would absolutely come back. Sweetest hidden gem.

A great stay near Index. This is our 3rd time to Index in the last couple of years. So amazing!The A-Frame was a great little spot right on the banks with easy access to the river. The cottage was cozy and small. The propane fire place definitely kept it warm inside. Great water pressure and having a water heater is always nice. The spiral staircase up to the loft can be a little tricky and tight. But manageable!Had a problem with the hot tub on the first day. Communication was super quick to resolve the issue. However, with our carrier and no WiFi. We had to head into town to communicate. Great stay. Would recommend!

We truly enjoyed our stay in this cozy A-Frame cabin. The place was clean, warm, and very comfortable for a relaxing mountain getaway. The cabin feels private and peaceful, with beautiful views of the river — such a perfect spot to unwind.The hot tub was amazing, heated well, and made the evenings especially relaxing. We also loved how close the cabin is to hiking areas and ski spots — very convenient.The host was responsive and friendly, which made the whole stay smooth and stress-free.The only downside for us was that there is no internet/Wi-Fi at the cabin. It wasn’t a big issue, but it’s good for future guests to know in advance, especially if someone needs to stay connected.Overall, a wonderful experience, and we would definitely come back!

Had an amazing time with my partner. Definitely had our most memorable moments in Seattle here. Tips-Push laundry room door from the top of the door.-The heater’s on switch is on the back right.-Fold the pools cover in half then you can raise it.-The river was a good place to find sticks for hiking. (Smoothed out so no splinters)-The hike to Lake Serene goes from easy to hard after the waterfall, go early.

This place was amazing. Easily one of the most relaxing places my wife and I have ever stayed. The access to the river is phenomenal, and the views from the hot tub were unbelievable. The listing is accurate and describes the property very well. The hosts were very responsive to our questions and ensured we had all the information we needed for our stay in a timely manner. Being able to sit on the river rocks, unplug, disconnect, and completely reset was exactly what we needed.

Very nice little A frame on the river. River access is a little tricky up and down some boulders in the bushes. They had a rope that was helpful. Hot tub and everything worked great. Very good collection of movies. Our only issue was with the heater. Couldn't figure out how to turn it on with posted directions, not mentioning to turn on the power switch on the back. Overall we had a great stay for 2 nights. Thank you.

We had some initial confusion, but fairly it was all on my end. The owner settled things perfectly. (THANK YOU!) Our weekend was incredible. No wifi or cell coverage meant completely disconnecting. Exactly what we needed. The A-frame was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The sound of the river, ever present. The fire pit with mountain backdrop was amazing for roasting hotdogs and watching the sky. We even enjoyed a movie from their video collection. (They have great taste) Overall, I would absolutely recommend, and we are already looking at it for other weekend getaways.

Beautiful Location

This was an absolutely beautiful property. Great river access and close to some great hikes. The only complaint I had was the air conditioner is not strong and doesn’t cool the loft. The temperature was unseasonably high during our trip. Had to sleep on the couch the second night to be right in front of the air. But that’s just a minor personal inconvenience. Overall, great place!

Secluded location, beautiful outlook, sleep to the sounds of the wild river

Cozy little charming A-Frame with all the basics you need for a short stay. Gorgeous secluded property with a nice outdoor dining area. Loved the proximity to the river, down a makeshift path and you're there on North Fork Skykomish River. Beautiful scenery from the rivers edge and from the property.Spiral staircase to the bedroom so not ideal for those with mobility issues.Perfect location to Bridal Veil Falls/Serene Lake Trail Hike.Also loved the eclectic atmospher of the local Sand Bar Tavern run by a friendly welcoming couple.We loved our stay!
