The setting: The Index Cabins are set on a 4.5-acre private forest by the Skykomish River. There’s plenty of room to roam, and a grass field perfect for frolicking. Thrill-seeking families love it here — arrangements can be made to visit the 225-foot zip line and ATV track in the adventure park. But if you’re after a peaceful, restorative retreat, you’ll find that here too.
Rental info: Seven unique cabins sit on the property, ranging in size and amenities. The newest, a luxury A-frame cabin, offers multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, a 75-inch TV, and a hot tub on the back patio. Or you can choose to stay in repurposed shipping containers, a modern tree house cabin, a fishing cabin or a tiny home. Several of the cabin rentals have hot tubs, and all guests on the property have access to the sauna and cold plunge.
Nearby things to do: The drive out (and back!) will likely take you through Monroe, Sultan and Gold Bar with family-friendly diners and fun pit stops along the way. Index is a quaint little town with scenic views, plus a general store for any last-minute essentials. If you want to spend the day hiking, Bridal Veil Falls and Lake Serene are among the options nearby. The Outdoor Adventure Center in Index offers kayak and e-bike rentals for extra adventure. But many families find they just want to stay and enjoy the cabins, surrounding forest and river.
