Wake up to the sounds of the Skykomish river right out your door. Breathtaking and panoramic views of the Cascade mountains. Take a short walk to the beach or a 40 minute drive to Stevens Pass. Lounge in the yard or rest in the hammock while listening to the sounds of the river. Snuggle up next the fireplace, or have an outdoor fire. We can accommodate over 6 people, if kids are the extra guests. Bring your fur babies for $75/pet/stay. This home has all you need to enjoy your stay! The space Walk in the front or back door with your own personal code. The main floor has the laundry room, queen private bedroom (Hummingbird room), full bath with jetted tub, open concept kitchen, dining and living room with a gas fireplace and large screen TV. Off the dining area are French doors that lead out to the deck by the river side. Up the stairs in the loft you will find the private Master bedroom with an open window (with black out curtains) overlooking the living room and out to the river. There is also a trundle bed (2 twin beds), a blowup double air bed (double size), desk with blue tooth keyboard & printer setup as you come up the stairs. Please note that this is an open loft NOT an enclosed bedroom. Airbnb won't let me change the listing to a 2 bedroom since they upgraded their site. The master bedroom is private with a door. There is a full bathroom with a shower. Outside is a nice deck to eat around the patio table that looks out at the river, BBQ, hammock, lounge chairs and a large fire pit with chairs. You can walk out the driveway and just 1/2 mile either direction (3-5 min walk) you can access the river! To the left is more of a beach type area and to the right is a nice walk through the woods to more of a rocky area with some beach spots. Just explore! Up the pass about 8.7 miles is the town of Index. They have white water rafting with guides, kayakes and tubing. Up the pass, (a 40 minute drive to the top of Stevens Pass), you can enjoy both summer and winter activities. Then when you head back west on Hwy 2 you don't have to fight the traffic because you chose to stay at Serenity River Retreat. If you haven't seen the adorable Bavarian town of Leavenworth, you must GO! It is about a one hour drive from Gold Bar. You won't be disappointed! Guest access You have the whole home and yard to yourself!!! Other things to note Please note that the 3rd bedroom is an open loft area and is NOT private. Airbnb won't let me change that this home is a 3 bedroom since their new upgrade. There are burn bans in the summer. If you happen to get ticketed, you will be resposible to pay the fine and any damages that occur if the fire goes anywhere other than the fire pit. So just make sure you look up burn bans in the area. Thank you kindly! Please note that there is a $50 per pet, per stay fee, with a maximum of two pets. It isn’t listed under the fee section so I will send you a separate money request for your pet(s) fee. Airbnb charges you a fee on top of the pet fee if I list it in the fee section. So this way saves YOU money. All you need to do is let me know how many pets (1 or 2) you will be bringing.
