Wild Bear Escape
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Wild Sky Escape is a cozy and well-appointed cottage in a shady grove within a private community on the Skykomish River. With the impressive granite cliffs of the Index Town Wall on one side and the peak of Mount Persis on the other, you will find yourself overcome by the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. There are so many ways to enjoy this mountain splendor without even having to start the car! You can walk along the rocky riverbank during the day and in the moonlight, or bring your bikes and cruise one of the most scenic routes in the state, stopping in the quaint nearby town of Index for a coffee or a beer. You can also fly fish on the world-famous Skykomish, create campfire memories around the fire pit, or relax under the stars in the soothing riverfront hot tub!
This 650 sq ft home is warm and inviting, with comfortable furniture arranged around the easy-to-use electric fireplace, large TV, and incredible river view. The sleeping loft is accessible by a ladder for another fun bedtime option! The open-concept dining area and kitchen plan make it easy for family and friends to enjoy meals, games, and fun together. There are even Wi-Fi and a PlayStation 2 for rainy-day entertainment.
Just over an hour from Seattle, Wild Sky Escape is an ideal escape for romance, connection, and recreation. Book your fantastic North Cascades getaway today!
THINGS TO KNOW
The Skykomish and the North Central Cascades are a historic area for the Great Northern Railroad, built between 1889-1903 by John Frank Stevens, for whom Stevens Pass was named. Trains still pass through the area to this day, creating occasional noise as they pass through the area. Most guests find this a charming aspect of the home and the area. We provide earplugs as a courtesy for any sensitive guests.
THE DISHWASHER DOES NOT WORK
If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.
Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.
Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 21 years of age to book. Guests under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.
Located in Gold Bar, this cottage is in the mountains and on the waterfront. Forks of the Sky State Park and Wallace Falls State Park reflect the area's natural beauty and area attractions include The Reptile Zoo and Evergreen State Fairgrounds. Be sure to check out the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.
