Wild Lily Cabin Retreat

Tucked away at the entrance to the Cascade Mountain Range, you’ll find a magical cabin campground.. Layered under a canopy of towering evergreen trees, this one-of-a-kind property is the perfect base camp for all your favorite outdoor adventures! Hiking, biking, kayaking, climbing, fishing, and more.

Return from your adventure to a hot tub and fire pit underneath the ambient string lights, while you hear the sounds of the Skykomish River rushing in the distance.

Welcome to Wild Lily - a charming place to host your next family gathering, retreat, or bring your closest friends together for the ultimate outdoor-adventure base camp. This unique property is fully stocked with modern amenities and located in a serene mountain valley.

The main cabin, Wild Lily, sleeps up to 7 adults, with two queen-sized beds upstairs and two comfortable sofa beds. Aside from the main house there are two additional cabins on the property that provide accommodations.

The cabin to the right when exiting from the French doors is called the Eagles Nest and has a queen size bed in the sleeping loft. The larger cabin to the left is called the Lily Pad, and includes a queen size bed in the loft and a comfortable sofa bed on the main floor.

There is a shared bath house that includes indoor and outdoor showers and a sauna for the Eagles Nest and Lily Pad cabins. Each cabin offers a unique rustic charm, complete with wall-to-wall picture windows and wood-burning fireplaces.

The open kitchen in the main cabin is fully-equipped with stainless steel appliances, cookware, utensils, and more. Gather at the family-style, 12-person custom dining table with booth seating followed by board games or snuggling in front of the fireplace on the large sectional sofa to watch a movie.

Up for an adventure? Stroll through the charming town of Index, exploring the historic Bush House hotel, river house, or general store, just a half-mile walk from the cabin. Lake Serene, Bridal Veil Falls, Heybrook Lookout, and Forks of the Sky State Park are less than 5.0 miles from the property, with countless more nearby Central Cascades trails to choose from.

Try your hand at fishing just steps from the property on the shores of the North Fork Skykomish River. Follow the river trail that leads to an island with a sandy beach overlooking the Skykomish River and mountains. You’ll also be within 30 miles of the well-acclaimed Stevens Pass Mountain Resort for skiing and snowboarding in the winter, and mountain biking trails in the summer.

As you return from your fun-filled day in the mountains, be sure to take advantage of all the outdoor amenities, including outdoor showers, sauna, and hot tub. Breathe in the fresh mountain air as you gently swing in the hammock, relaxing with a good book or a cup of tea in hand.

Once it’s dinnertime, fire up the gas grill and watch the sunset over the surrounding jagged peaks. Don’t feel like cooking? No problem! The cabin is close to several restaurants and bars, including the Whistling Post Saloon, Rico’s Pizza, and Maggy’s Family Mexican Restaurant. End the evening with s’mores, drinks, and good conversation as you huddle around the fire pit underneath the string lights.

Whether you’ve come for relaxation, adventure, or to spend time with loved ones, you’ve come to the right place at Wild Lily.

Guest access:
Parking: There is parking for 6-8 cars right in front of the main cabin. There is also a secondary driveway on the other side of the woodshed that can be used.

Other things to note:
- Eagles Nest and Lily Pad cabins have small ladders to reach the bedroom lofts. Both cabins share an outdoor bath house with running hot water, showers, and flushing toilets.

-Stairs in the main house: There’s no shortage of creativity and uniqueness of design and engineering at Wild Lily. Our interesting stairs, known as “Jefferson Stairs”, incorporate the engineering genius of founding father Thomas Jefferson. Don’t be intimidated by the visual strangeness, they work like any other stairs. Make sure to start with your right foot and they will feel totally natural. There are light switches for the stair lights at the top and bottom of the stairs.

- Cell service is limited on the property, so we recommend you download Gxxgle Maps offline beforehand and turn on Wifi calling upon arrival. There is a landline located in the main cabin.

- Fire making supplies are provided for the indoor stoves only. Please plan to bring your own firewood if you want to utilize the outdoor fire pit.

For outdoor enthusiasts and amateurs alike, a trip to the Pacific Northwest should include a stop at the small, rustic town of Index, Washington. Its population? Less than 200. Though it’s about an hour from Seattle, this town is a world away from fast-paced, contemporary urban life. Index is primarily a destination for in-the-know rock climbers, but this small town in the Skykomish Valley also draws in an eclectic crowd of adventurers of all ages, families, and those who want -- or need -- to escape to nature for a few days.
Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a microwave. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a desk and a coffee/tea maker.
Take advantage of recreation opportunities including a spa tub and a sauna.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

A dream for our micro wedding
I booked this cabin a year in advance for my small wedding (15 people) which we were going to have the reception at the cabin backyard. The location was perfect and close to Seattle where we live (1.5hrs) and cabin looked like it’d be perfect for the vision I had. Once we checked in found the cabin was so much more beautiful than expected with so many small details which really made the place magical, there is direct river access from the cabin which follows a rocky path and is where we held our ceremony. Mish the host was great and provided all the details with enough notice to prepare and ensure all additional fees and details for the event were clear and taken care of so during the stay there was no issues or questions. The main cabin is beautiful and has a large kitchen/ living room space. The additional 2 cabins were great for family but note the beds are the top with ladders as stairs /so plan accordingly. I am still getting compliments on the location chosen as everyone was obsessed with how Beautiful the cabin was and how great the yard was with all the trees and lights. Will definitely look to return in the future and would recommend this for any group stay or small gathering. The river also during August was great and saw quite a bit of neighboring people swimming or going for a dip

Girls weekend
Lovely stay at the Wild Lily! What a peaceful property in beautiful index. Close to hikes, the river, and the local coffee/grocery store/bar. We walked everywhere. Unfortunately there’s not a great way to walk to town due to having to walk on the main road, but we made it work. Wild Lily has everything you need for a restful connecting weekend. We loved the kitchen/breakfast nook, and how people were a little spread out across the multiple cabins. The sauna and hot tub were glorious in the rain, and we appreciated all of the thoughtful details. Will definitely be coming back!

Camp little getaway
For my moms birthday since we have small kids and didn’t won’t o camp out in tents we decided to get the wild lily cabin. We had an amazing experience surrounded by nature with just 2 minutes you are right on the river . Our kids spent so much time there looking at the little fish collecting rocks etc. the property itself was so big with the main house and two cabins on each side gave us all our own individual spaces. Plus it kept us entertained all of the days there with a campfire spot picnic tables sauna and even a hot tub. Would love to make it out there again for the winter season

Great stay
We had a fantastic stay. Loved the property, river and sauna. The only thing we thought was unfortunate was what seemed to be neighborly wood chopping in the middle of one of the nights and the low pressure of the kitchen sink. These are minor though when considering the great time we had. Thank you!

Lovely getaway on the Skykomish
Everything was perfect for our stay and Mish was a fantastic host! We felt very well cared for. It was truly a luxurious experience in the woods. Everything was very well built with many thoughtful touches. It was a great getaway for us and we look forward to coming back someday!
