Good to know

!!!!!Specials!!!! Hey there! Good news! If you have a party of 6 and plan to stay at Wild Lily on a weekday, you'll only pay half the cleaning fee as long as you don't use the smaller cabins. Enjoy your time at Wild Lily! Note this is a weekday-only opportunity! 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.

Other Details 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.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

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.

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.

Wild Lilly is such a special place. We stayed for a week to rest, unplug, and celebrate our wedding anniversary. The property is truly magical. The hot tub and sauna are such nice amenities and the wood available for the woodstove kept the cabin so cozy. The option for folks to stay in the additional cabins was amazing too and left us planning our next trip and who would stay each cabin. The photos unfortunately dont show that the door to the sauna doesn’t open all the way. Its blocked by a tree root so unfortunately my husband couldnt squeeze in and enjoy the sauna - fair warning to the big and tall folks! The kitchen is fully stocked! I've never experienced an air bnb kitchen so well stocked, it was amazing! The large dining table was perfect for our game nights. I'll never forget our tromps to the river, cozy fires, soaks in the hot tub and sauna sessions. Mish was such a wonderful host. When we had any questions or concerns she was so gracious and responsive. We'll be back soon!

This was such an exceptional place to stay. So cozy and comfortable. I could not imagine a better place to celebrate my birthday. We walked into town, which only took about 15 minutes, and meandered along the river. The hot tub was perfect, even in the rain. I hope to return again one day.

This was a remarkable cabin! We had such a peaceful retreat with family over the holiday. Mish made sure we had everything we needed and was so quick to respond to our queries. This was an incredible stay. Highly recommend.

We needed a place to host our group of 8 folks for thanksgiving and this place did NOT disappoint. Not only is it on a stunning property with access to the trails and the river, but the house itself is so beautiful. The main house has such a cozy living room, ample dining room area and an amazing kitchen. Every possible kitchen tool you could need, they had! It made cooking a feast a total breeze. The two desperate cabins were lovely and private. We loved the sauna and hot tub, and the twinkly lights. Quintessential Washington spot! Just book it. We will be back!

Beautiful place, so many amenities and really close to the river. We couldn't go out because it was a very rainy and windy weekend, but we had a great time at Mish's place!

Mish was a great responsive host. We checked in with ease and thought the cabin was just as described in the listing. The space was clean and welcoming. The two additional cabins accommodated our group well, and we enjoyed the outdoors even on a rainy stay. We did lose power on the last night but Mish was very responsive to our communication about the outage. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again in the future.
