Smukke Riverfront Getaway In The Cascade Mountains

Glad you had some days to relax and soak in the scenery. This has been one of the nicest Octobers we have had in a while. I hope you consider returning when you need some time to get away. Thank you.

It looks like you captured yet more memories in your album for A Cabin On The Sky. It has been a stellar October and as I respond to this on the first day of November, this month is starting out awfully nice too. I wish I could store up some of these days for when the Winter rains arrive. Thanks, so much, for coming back and I hope to hear from you again.

I will be sad to see October go. It has been an exceptional month what with all the Fall colors and such. It is always encouraging to hear that guests wish to return. You will be welcomed back. Thanks for staying with us and leaving the cabin so nice.

Happy to hear you folks enjoyed your stay. I can't take credit for the views but I have installed lots of windows to take advantage of the scenery from inside the cabin. If your travels should bring you out this way again I hope you choose A Cabin On The Sky as your lodging choice.

I am always humbled that folks will travel long distances to stay at my property and I am glad you felt it was worth the trip. Each year I have guests comment that they wished they could live here. Some repeat guests share that the cabin is their favorite place on the planet. For those folks and guests like yourselves I am more grateful than I can express. I hope to hear from you again.

I was a bit concerned about the weather, but the rain was much needed. Glad the mountains came out for you and that you enjoyed your stay. Thanks, so much.

It is always a good feeling to see a familiar name in my reservation Inbox. I am so glad that you found A Cabin On The Sky and enjoy it enough to want to return. Thank you.

Always pleased to see a reservation from you folks in my Inbox. Your continued patronage is very much appreciated and I hope to hear from you again. Thank you.

Sorry to hear you found the mattress uncomfortable and was the foremost thing that you took away from your stay with us. It is the premium flagship Saatva mattress and the same mattress that we sleep on in our own home. Like so many things, a mattress is chosen by personal preference. After all, we spend a third of our lives in bed. Other guests have commented they enjoyed it so much they have asked me what brand and model it is so they could purchase one for their own use. What brings one person to comment that it was the best sleep they have ever had will prompt another, like yourself, to comment on their discomfort. I hope most folks land in the middle. It is always my endeavor that my guests have nothing but a positive experience when staying at A Cabin On The Sky and judging by the number of repeat guests and 5 star reviews I receive, I am satisfying most folks. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Always love hosting you two. You are great as guests. Okay fine. You are probably pretty great in many aspects of your lives and I so very much appreciate your ongoing patronage over these many years.

Always glad to hear that my guests enjoyed their stay. I have hosted other authors, artists, songwriters, etc. over the years. Index is normally a pretty peaceful place to be and since the cabin is the last home on the river side of a dead end street almost ensures a quiet place to be. I hope you consider returning and thank you.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your late Summer stay. It is always gratifying to have guests return to A Cabin On The Sky and know that your continued patronage is appreciated.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. The WiFi login. That is the most asked question by my guests. I include the WiFi login on the Directions/Access information page I send to my guests. I also have the login code affixed to the modem. I appreciate you mentioning this. I will be sure to make it more prominently posted in the cabin to avoid any potential frustration for future guests. Also glad the river continues to provide a nice background sound when sleeping despite it being the lowest level I have seen in 50 years of living here. Thanks, again.

Thanks, so much, for your kind words. Index has been home for 50 years. I hope to hear from you again. You will be most welcome.

Thank you for your kind words. Always happy to hear that a guest has enjoyed staying at A Cabin On The Sky for a special getaway and I hope you consider returning. Thanks also for leaving the cabin in such nice condition. I appreciate guests like yourselves more than you can know.

Holy cow! Just now seeing, 3 months later, that I failed, yes, failed to respond to your review. Thanks for staying at A Cabin On The Sky and I hope that if you ever travel back up this way you consider staying with us again. You will be welcome.

Thanks, so much, for choosing A Cabin On The Sky for part of your getaway. I hope your travels throughout this region returns you home with great memories.

Thanks, so much, for all your kind words and it really is important to me that my guests feel that their time and money have been well spent. If you ever find yourself out this way I hope you consider staying with us again. If not, I hope you made some swell memories to keep you warm during the coming winter months. I appreciate you.

So glad you enjoyed your stay at A Cabin On The Sky enough to want to return. Some years 50% of my bookings are from folks who have stayed with me before. Sometimes it can be as long as ten years ago since they last stayed. Sometimes folks stay multiple times a year. I look forward to hearing from you again.

Okay, fine. You can come back and it only cost me $50.00 for you to write such a swell review. 🙃 Always happy to hear that guests enjoyed their stay and appreciated what I have created along with an appreciation for this tiny town where I have resided for 50 years. Lynn and I have put down deep roots. The beauty of this place brought me here and I never left. I am happy that I can share it with others so they can experience what first spoke to me all those years ago. I hope to hear from you folks again. You will be most welcomed back and thank you for staying at A Cabin On The Sky.

Thanks for your kind words. Glad you had a nice experience for your special getaway and hope you made some great memories. I very much appreciate how nice you left the cabin. Especially since both persons that help me prepare the cabin for my guests had commitments and I had cleaning duties after your stay. And the river...Yikes. I moved into the cabin 50 years ago and because of the lack of rain, and a weak snowpack last winter, 2026 has the lowest volume of water flowing I have ever seen. There is a massive rock in the river bed that has never been exposed before. Thanks for considering a return trip. You will be most welcome.

Thanks, so much, for returning to A Cabin On The Sky. I feel blessed to have been able to spend the past 50 years of my life in this tiny town in this beautiful valley. I look forward to hearing from you whenever you decide to return.

It is always a great feeling whenever I see your names on my reservation calendar. Some places simply speak to us and we continue to be drawn to them. I'm glad this place touched you folks those many years ago. This place spoke to me nearly 50 years ago and I never left. Thank you, so much, for your continuing patronage. You will be most welcome for as long as I do this.

Thanks, so much, for staying at A Cabin On The Sky. It is always gratifying to hear that my guests enjoyed their stay.

As always, it is a pleasure to host you two. So glad you found A Cabin On The Sky and that it has become a comfortable, restful place to come back to. One of these days I might even spend a night, but since I already live in Index I haven't really found the need, although staying on the river is a totally different environment than our home a block from the water. Thanks for being great guests.
