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.

Thanks for including the wonderful photos in your review! On the days when the skies are less than clear, it almost becomes more magical as the clouds form and then dissipate. Sometimes shrouding the peaks in clouds and then the mountains will lift their skirts to show what's been there for millennia. Though we live only a few blocks away, being on the river with those views is like being in a completely different world. My sincere thanks to you for being such a consistent patron to A Cabin On The Sky and I hope to hear from you again.

We loved everything about this cabin on the river! The location was ideal for hiking adventures. It had everything we needed for a three-night stay. (Wish we could have stayed longer!) The river is literally outside the front door, and you can hear and see the rushing waters from nearly every room in the cabin. What a treat it was to wake up to mountain and water views. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked. The host was responsive and friendly.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. It's obvious that a lot of care and intention has gone into making it a comfortable, inviting, and cared for space. It was incredibly peaceful and nearly silent, except for the sound of the river which amounts to a natural white noise machine. We look forward to returning later this year.

What a couple of troopers to get out and do some hiking on a pretty soggy day. Aside from being a geezer, I am a fair-weather hiker myself. I need a reward of some sort at the end of the trail.

À propos de l’hôte

Hôte : David Meier/Lynn Chamberlain

Image de profil de l’hôte
Having pretty much grown up in the Skykomish Valley I, David, moved to the cabin in 1976 and eventually purchased the property in 1978. A Cabin On The Sky is not just a business for me, it has also been my home and that pride of ownership shows throughout the property. I have operated A Cabin On The Sky as a vacation rental since 2002. Lynn and I met here in Index in the late 1970's, fell in love, and eventually married. We currently reside a few blocks from the cabin with our canine companions Charlie and Benny. We both have extensive experience in the hospitality business in that Lynn worked as a flight attendant for Alaska Airlines for many years and we operated A Stone's Throw B&B out of our home for nearly 20 years. I worked in the timber industry for nearly 2 decades and after the sawmill closed in the early 1990's, I went back to school to become a cabinet maker. In addition to woodworking and remodeling, I also spent parts of my summer working as a Wildland Firefighter. I have since retired from those professions. Wearing these different hats allows me to live and work in this beautiful place. Lynn retired from the airlines and spends much of her time pursuing her interest in gardening and painting both here in Index and Santa Fe, NM. We have hosted plein aire artist workshops at the cabin and our home. We have traveled extensively throughout the U.S., Mexico and Europe and believe that Index is located in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Community is very important to us. I served in the local fire department as a volunteer and commissioner for nearly 20 years. I currently serve on the Board of Directors for the Index Historical Society and the Friends Of Heybrook Ridge, a grassroots organization that saved over 100 acres from being clearcut and is now a county park. We welcome our guests with the hope that they can come away with a taste of the life we have found in this beautiful valley.

Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement

I spent the first 14 years of my life in North Dakota fantasizing about mountains, forests and clear flowing water. These things were only available to me through the books of Jack London and Saturday matinees. My family moved to Gold Bar, WA in 1967. Even as a high school kid I would drive up the valley to Index to truly be in the mountains, hiking the hillsides and camping along the river. There are few places like this and when I had the opportunity to move here I jumped at the chance. Lynn moved here in 1978 from the Bay Area in California, immediately impressed by the beauty of this valley. Index is a small community, but has a strong core of civic-minded folks that are sometimes the envy of other, much larger communities. We have friends and neighbors that we have known for nearly 50 years. The river valley and mountains were carved from glaciers and are what limits the growth of this village to what it is today. Few places are blessed with this much beauty.
We have another home in Santa Fe, New Mexico where Lynn spends much of the winter months. I try to fly down once a month while she is there. It had been a longtime dream of Lynn's to be able to spend part of her life in that vibrant city in the high desert and has named her home La Casa de Mis Sueños; The House of My Dreams.

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique

The views were what brought us here. A strong desire to create comfortable, personalized homes keeps us happy and calms our spirits. The cabin was a very modest residence when I purchased it and then, with a lot of hard work, the carpentry skills of my late father, and a bit of imagination, have transformed it into what it is today. That ethic continues to this day. We are continually thinking of ways to improve our guest's experience. The same can be said about our own home except you would multiply that by several factors. Even though Index is off the beaten path it is located whereby a person can make the jump over Stevens Pass to Eastern Washington and beyond (We often feel like just driving on to Montana, and sometimes do). It is also close enough to the greater Seattle Metropolitan Area when we need a taste of art, culture, shopping and maybe a ferry ride to the Islands of Puget Sound. An hour or so either way will take you to another world.
Index is about a half hour drive to Stevens Pass Ski Area and about an hour fifteen minutes to the Bavarian themed city of Leavenworth, a popular tourist destination and great place to lower the balance of your accounts if shopping is your thing.
