About this property

Wild Sky river cabin above the Skykomish

Perched directly above the Skykomish River, this private wilderness retreat offers a front-row seat to rushing water, breathtaking Cascade Mountain scenery, and the peaceful feeling of being tucked away in your own secluded escape.

Soak in the saltwater hot tub with the river flowing just below you, cold plunge in the Skykomish, then warm up in the 4-person barrel sauna. At night, listen to the sound of the current, stargaze from the deck, or gather around the smokeless firepit inside the riverside gazebo. It is the kind of place where the setting becomes the experience.

The cabin sits on two private lots with lush lawns, room to roam, and space for your dogs to enjoy the mountain air. During the rainy season, a seasonal creek flows through the property, adding even more charm to the natural surroundings.

Inside, you will find a cozy, comfortable cabin with a wood stove, a newly remodeled and fully stocked kitchen, and all-new appliances. Whether you are cooking a full meal, making coffee before a day of adventure, or settling in after exploring the mountains, the cabin is set up to feel easy, warm, and welcoming.

Fast Starlink Wi-Fi makes it simple to stream, work remotely, or stay connected, and the Roku TV includes streaming options and some live TV access.

This is a true nature lover’s retreat near Gold Bar, Index, and the Wild Sky Wilderness — ideal for couples, families, adventurers, dog owners, and anyone looking to unwind in a private riverfront setting with unforgettable views, soothing water sounds, and easy access to the Cascade Mountains.

Why they chose this property

This is a private gated community that really gives you the experience of being off the beaten path and immerses you in peaceful nature.

What makes this property unique

You can't get any closer to the river. There are views of Mt Index on one side of the house, and views of Gunn Peak and the Wild Sky Wilderness over the unobstructed Skykomish river on the other. You feel as if you are out in the wilderness all alone with the size of the property and secluded nature. We offer indoor and outdoor wood burning options to set the tone of the cabin stay. Two lawns gives plenty of room for yard games or for the pups to enjoy. Both the deck and gazebo hang over the rivers edge, it's breathtaking!
