Notes from the host
Luxurious Log Cabin on River On a river
Time to hunt for Big Foot or take a day hike up to a water fall enjoying the fall colors in the Cascade Mountains. When done exploring relax by the fire in a beautiful log cabin on the south fork of the Skykomish River.
One of a kind custom, luxurious and spacious log cabin. Over 2300 sq feet of living space. Lodge's rare combination of comfortable upscale accommodations on the river banks in a peaceful and secluded mountain setting sets the stage for creating priceless memories whatever your plans.
One of the most desirable vacation rentals and lodging accommodations along the Skykomish River. Nestled on the river bank of the South Fork of the Skykomish River on the West slopes of the Cascade Range - 2,300 sq feet of casual elegance.
A fun fact-
The name "Skykomish" comes from the Northern Lushootseed word /sq'íxʷəbš/, meaning "upriver people", from /q'íxʷ/, "upstream".
Sixty minutes from Seattle and twenty minutes from Steven's Pass and an hour from downtown Leavenworth. Quiet and peaceful with top hiking trails minutes away.
Sleeps 8 comfortably. The hand peeled log walls of this rustic, 2-story lodge will surround you with peace and warmth. Located on nearly a full acre of woods right on the Skykomish River.
It is our commitment to provide you with memories to be cherished for a lifetime - you may never want to leave. Be inspired by the scenic beauty unsurpassed by any other location. Eagles soar along the river and if you are lucky you may see the playful river otter that is common in the river behind the cabin.

We had the most amazing weekend at this outstanding property! The house was next level creme de la creme from the well taken care of grounds to the build of the cabin.... again, next level. Shower pressure! Oh my....yes! Sitting on the edge of the river by the fire pit in the evening with drinks is a must as well. We felt like we where in our own little world out here it was so private and quite. This cabin belongs in a Filson catalog! üåüüåüüåüüåüüåüWe will be coming back as long as its available to rent for the foreseeable future. Has everything you need. It's perfect. Communication was great. Thanx for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home. Until next time.

This place was exactly what I was looking for. An off-the-grid cabin in the woods to enjoy nature. I absolutely loved my stay here. Firepit, BBQ, comfy bed, nice living room to relax...it's got everything. I especially loved waking up in the morning and jumping into the river. Thank you for an absolutely wonderful stay.

Skykomish River cabin is as beautiful in person as it is in photos! And the river is even better!! We had a wonderful time relaxing amongst mountain views and crystal clear water. Our only regret is that we did not bring tubes or floats, as the river was perfect for playing and the sun was hot and shining! The authentic log cabin is charming and lovely with attention to detail. The kitchen was stocked with cooking utensils, spices, etc. The 2 main bedrooms are very comfortable and the loft easily accommodates lots of kids. We had 4 young adult children (17-25) who slept in the common space loft and they found it to be sufficient and spacious. Lastly, there are plenty of amazing hikes and day trips in the area. It was a wonderful stay and we would recommend and return!

Great river access, comfortable cabin
REVIEW DETAIL
Our family of 2 adults and 2 young kids loved our time at this cabin! The inside space is comfortable and well-stocked and the outside space can't be beat. The deck and yard were great for both kid time and solo adult time and the access to the river is excellent with many rocks for skipping, exploring and building, a sandy-ish area with less rocks and slow moving water (great for the kids) and lots of space for fishing. The owner was very accessible and responded to messages quickly. Thank you for sharing this lovey space, we hope to be back soon!

Our last night at the cabin my husband and I were sitting by the fire looking up at an incredible scene of stars and I said “in our review of this place is it too much to say this cabin is what dreams are made of?” We decided it was the most accurate statement we could make about the cabin. It’s so perfect! My family had the most amazing time playing by the river, doing nearby hikes and having nightly fires with s’mores. We celebrated my birthday and our anniversary there with our kids and could not have had better days. My boys asked if we could live there and my husband and I want to return every summer. John and Lilah are very kind, helpful and communicative. Thank you for sharing your amazing space with us, we can’t wait to visit again!
