Birthday at the River
We had a very nice time at this home by the river. You can’t necessarily access the river from the property but it’s a short walk into town and a short walk to a river access point. I can’t describe the beautiful views from the main level and the master bedroom. The beds were a little older and the uneven floors made it so we had to be a little creative with how we positioned ourselves in bed for sleep. It is rustic, and there were quite a few insects and spiders in the home. Overall the stay was great and I’d do it again!

Could be Better
House is dated. There were not enough dishes/silverware for the amount of people the listing advertises for-4 dinner plates & 3 forks. Limited pots & pans. The cutting board was moldy. I visited the goodwill & bought silverware (left it there for the next guest). There is a 10ft drop to the FAST moving river, so it is definitely not kid or pet friendly. The living room lights did not work, there is no tv service & only a few movies. The dryer is very old & takes forever (two cycles) to dry anything, which was hard with lots of ski clothes to dry. The fridge had to be turned up all the way to keep things cold enough. The trash cans in the shed were so full I had to keep our trash in the house all week. The hardwood floors are separating. The window coverings were not private & this is in a neighborhood. The front door is glass with no covering & you can see straight in from the street. The bedrooms are large & beds are comfortable. The views are great & the town of Index is a favorite or ours. The local hiking is good & only about 35 min from the ski resort which is great. The woodstove works great so don't forget firewood! The code for the door is very long & it doesn't unlock, so be aware! HA! The third bedroom is really a den & has a large 15 foot curtain for the wall, so there is a lack of privacy. It was fine for kids. Bathrooms: large & functional. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, if needed. Cabinets were stocked with a few necessities. We made the best, but will not return.

My Stay at the Skykomish Cabin in Index
My mom, my aunts, and I stayed at the cabin during the weekend and it was cozy and warm. I especially loved the little wooden desk in the second bedroom facing the river, where I did some drawing and art. We had a wonderful time! I give this a 5/5 rating

Nice spot!
I visited this property to work on my book and it was perfect for that! Access to WIFI was great and I can imagine this would be a great spot during the spring and summer months when there is more opportunity for recreation! My dog enjoyed the space. It was quiet and nice. They had a selection of DVDs and games. It might have been nice to have more communication from the property owner as I was a little nervous going by myself during this dark time of year.

That view!
We came here for the view and small town charm. The town is a tiny enclave but very unique and walkable and friendly. The river and view is so beautiful! There is zero safe access to the river from the house but there is easy access down the road. The wood stove helped create some ambience (and heat of course!) so don't forget to bring wood, there is none. The house is certainly functional but very dated and not in a quaint way.... more of 'it was inexpensive, we made it work." There are checkout directions for the dishwasher but there isn't one (seems a bit impersonal?). Besides the picnic table on the deck there were no chairs to use for outdoors. Luckily we had some camp chairs or that would have been an issue.
