Svar från VrboOwner 6 okt. 2026
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 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 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.

The last few days at Cabin in the Sky were simply, the best of all gifts. Having stayed in many vrbo's in many states, this was by far our favorite. It was cozy, inviting, with some luxuries thrown in. We had everything we could possibly want and add to that the spectacular location and views. The bed could not have been more comfortable, the hot tub facing the river was everything, but everything was above and beyond in the best of the best and impeccably clean. David is responsive, full of information, funny and so easy to communicate with. We cannot wait for multiple return visits.

We were amazed at the beauty of this location. The “Cabin in the Sky” is charming and well appointed with everything we needed. The cabin is obviously well loved and cared for. It’s quite the treasure. The town of Index is rich with local history and a testimony to the hard work of those who preceded us. Then there’s the mountains!! Must have taken 30 photos at different times of the day. Will enjoy editing them and sharing them with friends and family. We were very impressed with how well the owner communicated with us, making for a problem free arrival and departure. We hope to return sometime when those mountains are covered with snow.

Lynn and I have put down deep roots. The beauty of this place brought me here and I never left.

What a great experience. The host made the ENTIRE process seamless. Everything we could think of needing was there all the way down to what looked like a new guitar which was awesome cause I play. The place was clean (as hikers we follow leave no trace and leave it better than found). The place has a charm to it as well. We are not “fancy folks” we love simple but creative and this is exactly what we were looking for, a cozy little get away. We came for our 25th anniversary and couldn’t have been happier. The river was calming and the hot tube was perfect. Thanks again, we are DEFINITELY planning on coming back, hopefully when the water is a bit higher.

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.

Everything was perfect. This was my first vacation in about 12 years. Me and my girlfriend had a blast. Definitely picked the right spot. The views were excellent, the atmosphere, the house was tidy and cozy. Everything was supplied, I never even had to go to the store if I needed anything besides food. Located half hour away from Monroe, and a great scenic drive to anywhere else. Plenty of hiking spots nearby also. Will be booking again next time I travel to Washington. My whole family wants to book individual trips there. For the price, it is more than worth it. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

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.

Värdens profilbild
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.

Varför värden valde detta boende

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.

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.
