Om boendet

Riverfront Home, enorm utsikt, Hot Tub, Rymmer upp till 6 i lyx. Capt. Fantastisk!

En Riverside Retreat Àr semesterboende hem ligger pÄ Skykomish floden i den natursköna staden Index, WA, bara en timme frÄn centrala Seattle, och 29 miles frÄn Stevens Pass. Detta omrÄde har nyligen utsetts till "Wild Sky ödemarksomrÄde" och var bara med i succéfilmen "Kapten Fantastic" starring Viggo Mortensen.

Med endast 150 invÄnare, Àr index den minsta staden i vÀstra Washington, och det Àr vÀlsignad med fantastisk utsikt över taggiga snötÀckta berg, stora granitklippor, en kristallklar berg flod som rinner rakt igenom staden, och en fantastisk regnskog direkt ur filmen "Twilight".

Detta just ombyggda tvÄ sovrum hem rymmer upp till 6 i absolut komfort med nya vÀrldsklass Simmons Beautytryckavlastande madrasser och sÀngklÀder lyx. Förutom sovrummen har vi just fÄtt (okt 2013) vÄr drottning storlek amerikanska LÀder Comfort Sleeper - en $ 5000 plattform sÀng med en tempurpedic stil minne madrass som fungerar som en soffa. SÄ kan vi nu ta emot upp till sex gÀster i lyxiga sÀngar.

Fullt utrustade för att tillfredsstÀlla alla dina behov, omfattar vÄrt fritidshus en badtunna, hög hastighet trÄdlöst internet, massor av underhÄllning alternativ (se nedan), en full-size tvÀttmaskin och torktumlare, fullt utrustat kök, utomhus gasgrill med rotisseri, och mycket mer. Vi inkluderar Àven gratis kaffe, popcorn, och rikssamtal. Vad vÀntar du pÄ? Kontakta oss nu för att boka din perfekta datum!


Ligger höger lÀngs Skykomish floden i den vÀstra delen av staden pÄ en gigantisk 5 hel egendom, kan du njuta av "bÀsta utsikten i stan" direkt frÄn din tÀckt veranda eller mysiga lÀder coach och overstuffed lÀsning stolar. Detta Àr inte din typiska "funky" stuga i skogen, men en nyligen ombyggda, smakfullt inredda retrÀtt - till ett otroligt vÀrde. TÀnk "Calvin Klein beach house" men i bergen med en touch av mitten av Ärhundradet modern. Varma, inbjudande och perfekt för en helg tillflyktsort för ett par, tvÄ par, eller en liten familj.

Ombyggda under 2010 hittar du alla bekvÀmligheter i ett hem med hög hastighet trÄdlöst internet, en 50 "plasma-TV, HD-kabel, Blue Ray DVD-spelare, Wii Video Console, Bose Wave Radio med MP3 / iPod-anslutning, ett dussin styrelse spel och en öppen planlösning med nya trÀgolv i hela.

Även om huset Ă€r fullmatat med underhĂ„llning alternativ, det Ă€r ocksĂ„ en fantastisk plats att bara koppla av och göra nĂ„got annat Ă€n titta pĂ„ floden gĂ„ genom. Med bosatta örnar skyn ovanför, berget floden rusar genom den fantastiska friska luften renas genom den omgivande skogen, barrel att vĂ€rma dina ben, vĂ„ren utfodras vatten direkt ur kranen - du kommer inte hitta en bĂ€ttre plats att föryngra din kropp och sjĂ€l.

Index och det omgivande omrÄdet Àr en sport paradis med utmÀrkt tillgÄng till vandring, cykling, paddling, forsrÀnning, fiske, skidÄkning (lÀngdÄkning och utförsÄkning), ATV ridning, ridning och mycket mer. Under vintermÄnaderna, Àr i nÀrheten Stevens Pass ett stort drag som en av de bÀsta skidorter i nordvÀstra USA. PÄ sommaren Àr den vilda Skykomish River stjÀrnan i showen som erbjuder adrenalin fylld lugn utmaningar, eller en lat flyta pÄ en varm sommardag. Skykomish Àr ocksÄ allmÀnt kÀnd för sin utmÀrkt fiske med topp dragningen Àr den vÀrldsberömda Steelhead. KÀnd som fisk av en tusen avgjutningar, kan de vara mycket svÄrt att koppla och Ànnu mer sÄ att mark - men nÀr du gör, du har Ästadkommit en stor fiske milstolpe som kan du vara mycket stolt.

-----------------------------
Saker att se i stan:
-----------------------------
Staden index Àr mycket liten och du kan gÄ hela staden (varje gata!) pÄ mindre Àn en timme. LÀngs vÀgen hittar du massor av saker att se. I centrum av staden som du över bron hittar du indexet General Store som har tjÀnat Index invÄnare lÀngre Àn nÄgon kan minnas. Inne i butiken hittar du en mycket old-school postkontor.

Across frÄn butiken Àr Outdoor Adventure Center som Àr en forsrÀnning och kajakpaddling outfitter dÀr man kan hyra utrustning, ta lektioner, och gÄ med i en lugn resa. Deras huvudkontor, River House, fungerar som en kaffe lounge som erbjuder handgjorda kaffedrycker, fÀrska bakverk, tillgÄng till Internet och bra information om vad som hÀnder i staden.

Även i centrum av staden Ă€r Doolittle park, uppkallad efter en av pionjĂ€rerna inom omrĂ„det. Parken erbjuder en tĂ€ckt picknickomrĂ„de samt en tennisbana, basketplan och offentliga toaletter. PĂ„ displayen Ă€r en jĂ€tte sĂ„gblad som anvĂ€ndes för att skĂ€ra granit pĂ„ lokal stenbrottet. Granit stegen i Washington State Capitol byggnad skars hĂ€r i index.

Om du vill veta mer om hur index kom att bli, se till att besöka Pickett museum dÀr du kan se fantastiska fotografier och artefakter i en epok som gÄtt. Du kommer att bli chockad att lÀra sig index hade en gÄng 2000 invÄnare nÀr det dÄnade, och du kan se fotografier av jÀttetrÀd som skördades frÄn omrÄdet.

FrÄn och med 2012 har den historiska Bush House slutligen köpts in och genomgÄr restaurering som förhoppningsvis kommer att matcha sin forna glans som erbjuder smÄ rum med delat badrum och en mycket efterlÀngtade Äteröppnande av restaurangen. Var noga med att stoppa i för en mÄltid eller Ätminstone dessert och kaffe. BerÀknas öppna under 2014.

Across frÄn Bush House Àr index Grundskola dÀr lokala studenter av 6 grader delar 2 klassrum. Med en av de bÀsta elev-lÀrare-förhÄllandet Àr i staten, Àr skolan en utmÀrkt plats för barnen.

År 2008 den stora Ă„sen över floden frĂ„n staden rĂ€ddades frĂ„n avverkning av en lokal insats som kallas "Friends of Heybrook Ridge." Organisationen höjde tillrĂ€ckligt med pengar för att köpa mark frĂ„n ett privat företag och har planer pĂ„ att göra Ă„sen en eko-turist och utbildningsplats. Planerna omfattar en parkeringsplats och olika vandringsleder med pedagogiska skyltar. Detta kommer att bli ett utmĂ€rkt komplement till staden index och lĂ„ta mĂ€nniskor i alla Ă„ldrar för att enkelt fĂ„ tillgĂ„ng till en 100-Ă„rig 2nd tillvĂ€xt regnskogen och lĂ€ra sig om flora och fauna. Att se hur du kan engagera dig kan besöka deras hemsida pĂ„ http: // www. heybrookridge. org

Dagstur (s)
-------------------

Beroende pÄ vÀdret, Àr en mycket populÀr dagsutflykt för besökare att korsa Stevens passera in i östra sidan av den stat dÀr du befinner dig i den tyska stil staden Leavenworth. Gatorna kantas av turist-locka butiker och det finns flera bra restauranger att prova. En av vÄra favoriter Àr Gustavs i den vÀstra delen av staden erbjuder fantastiska bratwurst och kall öl. Prova utomhus dÀck pÄ övervÄningen nÀr vÀdret Àr fint - ett bra sÀtt att spendera ett par timmar.

Rubrik den andra riktningen, Àr Seattle bara en timme bort. Kolla Pike Place utomhusmarknad dÀr man kan ta en kaffe pÄ den allra första Starbucks, titta pÄ fisk mongers kasta fisk och handla fÀrskvaror och handgjorda hantverk. Det Àr öppet varje dag Äret runt och skur! Eller ta en tur upp utrymmet nÄl, dÀr du kan se hela staden, eller resa bort pÄ en bÄtresa till pittoreska Bainbridge Island för lunch. Det finns sÀkert massor att göra i Emerald City om du fÄr klÄda för stadslivet under din vistelse. Och bara en timme bort, att komma dit och tillbaka Àr halva nöjet.

The home was very clean and well maintained. The modern updates and furniture made it feel cozy and clean. The views from the home were stunning! We were there during a very rainy fall weekend and the fall colors and scenery were incredible. The Espresso Chalet is about a mile away and easy coffee run.The easy turn on fireplace was so nice to have and added ambience.Beds were super comfortable. Outstanding stay for my mom and I during a family wedding weekend.

Loved the Hammock!

Our family had a wonderful time at this cabin. It was extremely clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals. There were also a lot of wonderful small touches that made it a very special vacation. I particularly loved the hammock and we made good use of the BBQ.

Perfect Winter Getaway

This was the sweetest little cottage. We went for a girls get away for a long weekend. We especially enjoyed the beautiful view out the large picture window, the sound of the river and the relaxing hot tub! Highly recommended especially if you live in Seattle since it's so close but feels far into nature.

perfect

It's one of those rare vacation rentals that you might find that is perfect and worthy stating in. The location is quite and everybody is friendly. The house is pretty much has everything you might need from cookware to just chilling. The owners are helpful folks. I would differently stay there the next time I'm around Seattle.

Weekend at Index

When we showed up, everything was ready to go. Hot tub heated and ready (a nice touch), a bottle of wine set out for the adults, and games and movies ready to go without trouble. The neighborhood is true mountain town. There’s not a lot going on as for entertainment and dining, but we expected this going in. It’s part of the joys of being in Index. There is occasional train noise, but I found it undisturbing to my sleep with fans going. The place was clean and I felt as listed. We did a number of hikes in the area during couple of days at the house that were fun and okay for some inclement weather. In the guest book, they mention that their water is some of the best drinking water in America, and we’d have to agree—it’s very good water. It’s great for both drinking and showers.We’d definitely come back.

Great spot!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Index is a quaint community nestled on the river and surrounded by amazing views and scenery. The views from the front porch are fantastic. The house is stocked with everything you need. Plus, the outdoor living areas push it up a level. You have the river just steps away. That offers its own set of activities. The house was clean, beds comfortable and it just felt comfortable. We actually enjoyed having the trains come through. After a few days, you start to pick up on their schedule. Hands down, we’d return. The owners are top notch regarding communication and information.

lovely and cozy home away from home

This Index house is one of a kind. It offers more than any hotel can offer. Magical sleeping experience on the cloud-like bed, and beautiful views of the forest with the snow covered mountain peaks. We really enjoyed our stay in this cozy house, and regreted that we could not stay longer. For people like us, who likes outdoor activities , this house is ideal: it is surrounded by sights of waterfalls and hiking trails, it has a jaccuzi and mountain river, on top of everything there are plenty of bicycles to explore sight seeings. It felt like luxury camping in the middle of forest. Thank you dear owners:)))

Fantastic, Inspiring Location

We used this rental for a movie shoot, so it was not a typical rental, but the location was just fantastic. You are in between gorgeous river views and a sheer cliff, that seems like something out of a storybook. Cast members noted that they had not seen a location like this outside of Norway, yet this was actually a very easy, brief drive about an hour outside Seattle. I would love to visit again as an actual guest, based on the scenic views. The house itself was very well-kept and homey. It is someone's home, so that seemed to make sense. Definite 5 star rating. Thanks to these guys for being so open to an art project in their home!

A Great Place

Ken and Molly. We had a wonderful week at your place on the river in Index. Your house is just the way I'd want it with a great living room with an awesome TV and satellite, ipod docking station and wireless for the computer. We found everything we needed in the kitchen and grilled out on the back deck a couple times during the week. The beds were very comfortable and the week was so very peaceful. The first morning, we stepped out the door to pick a bowl of blackberries for our pancakes. We took advantage of several outstanding hikes nearby including Lake Serene, Bridal Veil Falls, and Barclay Lake. It was really easy finding your place - a little over an hour from Sea Tac, and we enjoyed easy day trips to a Mariners game and to Leavenworth after driving up over the pass. I thought I was in the Alps. All in all, it was an amazing week.

What An Amazing Weekend!

My boyfriend and I rented this property for his birthday over the weekend of April 23, 2011. The house was beautiful, sitting right on the river with views of Mt. Index and another peak in the opposite direction. Both snow covered peaks almost hid the beauty of the magnificent rock canyon that stood behind us. The house was remodled, very clean, and extremely comfortable, especially the bed which felt as if you were sleeping on a cloud. The only downside, although I somehow found it quaint and endearing, was the train that ran throughout the night, blowing its warning whistle with each passing. Yet even by the second night I slept soundly, never even hearing the train. My boyfriend and I got lost on the backroads of Washington in attempts to find the Tulip festival, after a flood washed out our chances of seeing the Big Four Ice Caves, and we were so happy to get back to the rental house, it felt like home. The second day, the home welcomed us after hiking to Bridal Falls near Mt. Index, a beautiful and easy day hike! Come Sunday morning, after having breakfast on the porch, listening to the river, and waving to the locals walking by, we reluctantly packed our belongings to head home. We both wanted to stay for another week if not forever! This was a great rental, great location, and a great mini vacation. Don't think twice about staying, it is definately worth every minute!!!

Best Vacation Rental!

The video says it all and delivers everything it says it has AND MORE. Ken is so accommodating as a rental owner. He called me personally to confirm my requested dates, answered any questions I had from where to buy groceries to purchasing lift tickets. He even blew up inner tubes for my boys to use in the snow! The home is probably the best-looking on the street, very well maintained, remodeled very nicely and so cozy! The house was super clean, everything was in perfect working order and the kitchen was stocked with anything I could possibly need. As a family of 5 with 3 young boys, I had what I needed to cook, do laundry and keep them entertained. We were thrilled to find a "home away from home" so that we could get my boys to skiing quickly and several days in a row. In only 25-30 min. you can get up to Stevens Pass for lessons or skiing and return home quickly for a shower and warm meal---a must with young children. The area is quiet with the most amazing views! There are places to eat out, get gas etc. but we were happy to bring in our groceries from Monroe and spend our free time walking the neighborhood along the river and skiing. We are looking forward to returning very soon for another ski trip or during the summer months to explore rafting, hiking and fishing! Hot tub, FREE internet, cable and phone, NO cleaning fee and NO outrageous deposit made this a spectacular deal for our family. I looked at other rentals in Snoqualmie that were too big and WAY over-priced. It's nice to see an honest couple willing to share their beautiful home for a reasonable price. If you are thinking about staying here, book it now! I am recommending this rental to everyone I know! You will not be disappointed. We were sad to leave!

The Perfect Getaway!!

After all the holiday scrambling around Seattle I was looking forward to a short getaway from the city. Wanting to get some runs in at Stevens Pass but not looking forward to the drive time that weekend, we decided to stay Friday and Saturday night at the Riverside Retreat and definitely are glad we did. An hour drive out of Seattle and 30 minutes before Stevens Pass Ski Area, the Retreat was perfect for me, my wife, and our two young children, 3 and 6 years old. We got into Index to about 3 inches of snow and freezing temperatures but the clean and well maintained house warmed up well and there were plenty of clean throw blankets to welcome us along with several other nice touches that made it feel like home within a few minutes. We relaxed with a movie before bed then woke up for a full breakfast well ahead of the Stevens Pass rush from Seattle. We took our time at the table and just watched and listened to Bald Eagles from the large picture window from inside the house. The views of Mt. Index and Persus that morning from inside and in front of the house in the early morning were jaw dropping!! Returning from the mountain, we all got into the hot tub and spent some time going from the corner view of Mt. Index, to watching Bald Eagles fly only feet above the house, to gawking at the sheer 1,000 ft of the Index Town Wall directly behind the house. A short stroll along the river across the street with the kids, a great dinner with more Eagle watching, and a very relaxing night's sleep finished out our day. While I can't say enough positives about the entire experience, readers will want to be aware of a few minor details that are less than perfect. The Hot Tub was so new that it didn't yet have a proper cover on it so that was a bit of a pain that I'm certain is now well taken care of. The Riverside Retreat is more of a house on the outskirts of a very small town (population of ~180) vs. a "cabin in the woods" so there are neighbors on two sides with no fences. The open lot is huge though and the tradeoff of such amazing views is well worth it. The only other item of note is that the BNSF railroad is heavily used and runs up the entire Skykomish River valley so occasional trains within view are a certainty but our kids loved them and they never really bothered Liz or I at all. All in all, the Riverside Retreat was a spectacular time for me and my family and we'll definitely be back!

Wonderfully cozy cabin, with "gotcha" amazing mountain and riverside views

A Riverside Retreat is precisely that and more--it's riverside and a retreat from the noise and hubbub of life in more densely populated regions. I stayed three nights and would have stayed longer. VERY CLEAN...was one of the first impressions that hit me when I walked in the door of this slightly older, but newly remodeled and well appointed two bedroom, one bath cabin. SPACIOUS...another word, but not one I would usually ascribe to a smaller vacation rental, but this one definitely has room to stretch out in. Ample and comfortable seating in the living area, uncrowded kitchen, and front porch that is a MUST to sit out on in the morning or afternoon, with a hot mug O' beverage, to listen to the soothing flow of the wild North Fork of the Skykomish river and watch for not infrequent bald eagles, or heron's to fly by. I was stunned by the generous and commanding view I had of Mt Index and Persis from the kitchen, living room, or porch. Once on the Porch, I looked upstream to the Gunn Peaks stabbing into the sky both literally and figuratively. The beds were plush and comfortable, plenty of games in the living room entertainment center, and if so inclined, a huge plasma screen TV complete with satellite. Washer and dryer work well. furniture is new, and classy. Creative, fun, angling themes abound in one of the rooms and utility room. The owner's were easy to deal with--no fuss, no muss. Friendly and helpful on the telephone. A general store with a nice selection of items is right in town (less than a five minute walk). If you need something more, there is a full service grocery store 10-15 minutes away in Goldbar. Eating out has a few possibilities in the area as well. Though myself and my guest did not avail ourselves of it this time, there is some fantastic rafting to be had on the Skykomish river and on the East side of Steven's Pass on the Wenatchee. Several trailhead's of varying difficulty are in the area--I went on a stiff hike up to Lake Serene that ends at the base of the very same Mt Index you see so vividly from the cabin--several mesmerizing waterfalls are on the way up...easier hikes can be found in the area, but all are worth the effort expended in the rewards yielded from the views. Skiing up at Steven's Pass is a mere 25 minutes or so up the Hwy. Getting here, it was just a curiously quick hour + drive from SeaTac Airport. In short, I think this is a great place to stay anytime of the year, and would recommend it to anyone.

Lovely small town with a local “beach” right on a gorgeous river. The rental was directly across from the river and it was lovely to just sit on the front porch and hear the rush of the water. A short drive up the pass to Deception Falls (easy easy hike for any fitness level) and just 30 minutes to Stevens Pass. We would definitely return.

Peaceful getaway

We were looking to find a spot outside of the city to relax, hike and enjoy the outdoors. Index was absolutely perfect Multiple hikes within walking distance of the home. House was perfect for a basecamp for our family of four. Exploring the area during the day and then relaxing un the hot tub with a fire was just the break we needed.

Comfortable home base

This home was a great home base for our hiking adventures in the area. It is close to several trailheads and Wallace Falls State Park. It is is a quiet area and the view was beautiful from the front porch. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking some of our meals instead of eating out all the time. Only used the hot tub once...but was in perfect working order. Would definately consider staying hear again if in the area.

Fabulous cozy spot with gorgeous views

The house was well equipped with kitchen ware, games and easily navigated instructions on the wifi, tv options, and gas fireplace. There nice linens and fuzzy blankets as well and a thoughtful bottle of wine. The covered hot tub was much appreiated in the winter weather. The location was close to the small town if we had needed anything. Our only missing star in the review was because we didnt expect the street in front of the house, between the house and the river, to have as much walking car car traffic. We expected it to be more secluded. All passing company were friendly and quiet so we weren't actually bothered by it though. Overall a fantastic stay, especially for the price and thoughtfulness put into the house. Thank you for sharing it with us, we will be back again!

Om vÀrden

Ken Mahar Àr vÀrd

VĂ€rdens profilbild
Greetings, We are Ken Molly Max and Juliet.

We love to travel including backpacking around the world in 2007 before kids. Now that our kids are 8 and 10 we're off traveling the world again including Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Italy, Thailand, and Mexico.

We made Index our permanent home again but since we're off on our travels, we've put our home back on the market. We think you'll find everything you need here to be comfortable, including our new air conditioning! If you want to do nothing - you've found the right place. If you want to do everything - you've found the right place. Please review our VRBO listing, or reach out with questions. Regardless of where you stay, we hope you enjoy yourself!

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

Ken grew up in Index (and still has family here), and even though we've traveled around the world there are few places as beautiful. The amazing mountains, sheer cliffs, and powerful river are enough to mesmerize even the most jaded. Combine that with the variety of kiking, biking, kyaking, rafting, fishing, skiing to be had - you couldn't find a better place to relax, or seek adventure. The town of Index has only 150 people so it's pin drop quiet at night. All you will hear is the gentle rushing of the river (and an occasional train, though we don't even hear it anymore). This property is at the far end of town, built on 5 lots so there's a huge lawn to spread out on, and even the houses 'next door' are rarely occupied. You'll have all the peace and quiet you need.

As Ken grew up he always marveled at the view from this home, and when it came up for sale we decided to grab it. Since we can't live here full time, but we still want to use it when we visit several times a year - making it a vacation rental was the perfect choice.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

The view from our home is AMAZING. Every room in the house has a view of jagged mountains or sheer granite cliffs, and the front porch is especially magical. It's a great place for morning coffee watching the bald eagles, or a great place for cocktails on a summer night. Since we added a hot tub to the back porch, it may be a tie as to which will get more use.

The other big advantage of this property is that is sits on 5 city lots - one of the biggest property in Index (though that's not saying a lot). And since our nearest neighbors only use their home for an occasional weekend in the summer we have a ton of privacy.
