3 Br Chalet Vacation Rental In Baring, Washington

UPDATE: Please see picture of recent riverbank changes. River access has become difficult & limited due to a recent windstorm that removed a healthy amount of land along the river. Access off back deck is not recommended. Feel free to inquire.

River's Edge radiates a cabin feel, yet has all the necessities of home. Rustic decor including clocks, radios & snow gear reminds you that time almost stands still here, but AppleTV and HomePods remind you to stay in the present. The river, just off the deck, drowns out any distractions from your relaxation.

Neighborhood:
This is a quiet neighborhood w/ very only a few houses. Outside the neighborhood is where all the magic happens. Check the Guidebook below for Must See, Do & Eat's. If you get rained out, chill my homey brethren. River's Edge has your back with that 24/7 lazy-day-feels setup. Translation: It's Comfortable AF.
Der Baring Store is a walk down the road & Index General Store is a short drive for most necessities. Gold Bar and Skykomish are each about 10 min away with more food options. Close proximity to Stevens Pass for skiing, mt biking, hiking, getting more food, or just hanging out, people watching.

If you want to have a SMALL outdoor fire in the pit, plan on bringing wood. There is not a supply at the house. Do not pull wood from nearby properties.

The space:
The "neighborhood" has very low traffic and property is mostly very-private. Access to the river allows for fishing and splashing around during certain times of the year.

Guest access:
You can take a stroll through the quiet neighborhood surrounded by forest and wetlands. Or you can meander down to the river and have your go at skipping rocks or pulling a steelhead out with a rod. Sheds and small cabin are currently off limits. For safety sake and to prevent from further erosion, the river should not be accessed from directly in front of house.

Interaction with guests:
I will be a phone call, text or email away. I know what it's like to be bothered on a vacation and I know what it's like to need something in a pinch. I will be available when you need to help alleviate all stresses you came here to avoid.

You must also acknowledge:
Must climb stairs - Three stairs on the porch and deck, 15 stairs to the loft/master bedroom
Potential for noise - Trains. All day about one every two hours. Maybe one at night. It's pretty faint and wakes light sleepers. Bring ear plugs if you need.
Amenity limitations - You're in the mountains with variable weather. This area is prone to power outages. Gas fire & BBQ provide heat & food when power is out.
SURVEILLANCE devices on property - Ring camera to monitor driveway/porch for guest count and departure time. There is no hot tub :(

Located in Baring, this chalet is on the waterfront. While the natural beauty of Forks of the Sky State Park and Skykomish River can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Stevens Pass Ski Area. Enjoy the area's slopes with skiing, and don't miss out on the sledding.
