Riverfront home out your back door! Ski, Hike, Kayak, Beach, BBQ, Hammock, Relax
Wake up to the sounds of the Skykomish river right out your back door. Breathtaking and panoramic views of the Cascade mountains. Take a walk, just down the street of this quiet neighborhood to the beach for a picnic or a swim. Lounge in the chairs overlooking the river and enjoy your favorite beverage. Nap in the hammock while being lulled to sleep by the sounds of the rapids. Roast marshmallows, tell stories, or sing around the outdoor firepit (PLEASE check for BURN BANS). Cozy up with a blanket by the living room gas fireplace after skiing/boarding at Stevens Pass, just a 40 minute drive. This home has all you need to cook, relax and enjoy your cozy stay by the river!
We can accommodate up to 6 and possibly a couple more if you have small children.
Bring your fur babies (2 max) for a $75/pet fee for the first pet. There is an additional $25 fee for the second pet. I will send the fee request once you arrive. There is also a $25 poop pick up fee if my cleaner has to do this after you checkout. I will send this fee request through VRBO as soon as my cleaner notifies me. VRBO doesn't have an option on the fee page for an extra pet fee or poop fee.

Very good

Nice property, could use some TLC on a few items. Couch and love seat are showing lots of wear. Welcome book talks about the hot tub and its functionality. Was non-functional, but to be clear was not listed as an amenity. The A/C is a portable unit, on a sunny day struggles to keep up. Multiple box fans help but noisy. Listing implies access to the river that was assumed to be from the property. This is not the case. Access is from either end of the main rod through the community. Not a deal breaker, but feel the listing could be more clear. Overall very enjoyable stay.

About the host
Hosted by Nicole
My name is Nicole & I have been a super host for several vacation rentals. A few in Missoula, Montana and this one in Washington. I grew up in Western Washington and have resided in Montana for over 20 years! I have two boys. I love meeting people from all over and sharing this home in Washington with them! This has been my mom‘s dream home that she had built 20 years ago. She always wanted this to be a place of peace and serenity! I hope you enjoy your stay and I look forward to hosting you!
Why they chose this property
This is a wonderful small, 75 home neighborhood. It really is a place where neighbors help and watch out one another. At each end of the neighborhood is access to the river.
What makes this property unique
Everyone that comes here immediately feels a sense of peace and feeling right at home. Having a beautiful view of the mountains and river right out the large, ceiling to floor windows, with a private backyard, makes this place very special!
