Riverfront Mountain Retreat with Hot Tub, EV Charger, Pet Friendly in Sky Valley

Breathtaking river and mountain views make Sky Valley Retreat a getaway worth slowing down for. Wake to the Skykomish rushing past, sip coffee on the covered open-air deck, then sink into your private hot tub beneath the stars. Tucked among towering evergreens at the foot of the Cascades, this four-season escape puts rafting, kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, skiing & snowshoeing nearby. Pet-friendly, with fast WiFi & Level 2 EV charging. An hour from Seattle. A world away.

WELCOME TO SKY VALLEY RETREAT, a beautifully appointed riverfront home tucked among towering evergreens along the Skykomish River, with the Cascade Mountains rising around you. Designed for families, couples and friends, it’s a four-season retreat where mountain adventure and slow, restorative days by the river come together.

The views are the heart of the home. Large windows frame the flowing river, evergreens, dramatic mountain peaks and ever-changing Northwest skies, bringing the outdoors in throughout the day.

Wake to the sound of the Skykomish moving past the house and sip your morning coffee overlooking the river. Spend the day chasing waterfalls, hiking alpine trails, rafting, fishing, horseback riding or skiing in the Cascades. Then come home, sink into the private hot tub and watch the mountains fade into the evening sky.

Or skip the itinerary altogether. Curl up inside, break out the board games, cook a long dinner together and simply let the river set the pace.

THE HOME

The open-concept living, dining and kitchen spaces were made for spending time together. Gather for family meals, settle in for movie or game nights, or simply relax with the river and mountains just beyond the windows.

The fully equipped kitchen includes cookware, dishes, utensils, glassware, coffee essentials and the everyday basics you need for meals at home.

With 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and flexible sleeping arrangements for up to 6 guests, there’s room to spread out without losing the warmth of a mountain retreat.

OUTDOOR LIVING + PRIVATE HOT TUB

Step outside onto the spacious river-facing deck, roof-covered overhead while remaining open-air along the sides. It gives you a sheltered place to experience the outdoors even when classic Pacific Northwest weather rolls through.

Start the morning here with coffee and the sound of the river. Gather outside after an adventure-filled day, or slip into the private hot tub beneath the stars and let tired hiking—or skiing—legs recover.

There’s ample outdoor seating for the group, and because the deck is open along the sides, wind-driven rain may occasionally reach portions of it.

WHERE YOU’LL SLEEP

The home comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests with several sleeping options:

Upstairs A-frame bedroom: 1 king bed, 1 Twin XL and 1 twin bed. A private, fully enclosed upstairs bedroom with classic A-frame architecture, river and evergreen views, carpeting and its own closet.

Downstairs bedroom:
1 queen bed.

Living room:
1 full-size Murphy bed that conveniently folds away during the day.

With two full bathrooms, the layout works especially well for families, couples traveling together or friends sharing a mountain getaway.

FOUR SEASONS OF ADVENTURE

One of the best things about Sky Valley Retreat is that there really isn't an off-season.

In warmer months, explore waterfalls and alpine lakes, hike, fish, kayak, raft or tube the Skykomish, go horseback riding, or simply spend the afternoon beside the river.

As the mountains turn white, trade hiking boots for skis, snowboards or snowshoes and head toward Stevens Pass.

Nearby adventures include Wallace Falls, Lake Serene, Bridal Veil Falls and Heather Lake, with countless trails and outdoor experiences throughout the surrounding Cascades.

And when you want a change of scenery, Leavenworth makes a wonderful day trip—wander the Bavarian-style mountain town, eat, shop and explore before returning to your quiet spot beside the Skykomish.

CLOSE TO ADVENTURE, EASY TO REACH

You get the feeling of a mountain escape without being completely removed from civilization.

The home is conveniently located just off Highway 2, making it easy to head toward trails, Stevens Pass and Leavenworth. Groceries and drive-through coffee are close by, and local spots—including the beloved Espresso Chalet—make easy stops on your way to an adventure.

Then, at the end of the day, leave Highway 2 behind and come home to the river.

STAY CONNECTED

• Washer + dryer
• Fully equipped kitchen

BRING YOUR FOUR-LEGGED FAMILY

Sky Valley Retreat is pet-friendly, because mountain adventures are even better when your dog can come along.

We simply ask that dogs be house and potty trained and that guests pick up after them so the property stays beautiful and welcoming for everyone.

YOUR CASCADE HOME BASE

Come for a romantic weekend. Bring the family for summer adventures. Plan a ski trip with friends. Work remotely with the river outside your window. Spend a day exploring Leavenworth or spend the entire weekend doing little more than soaking in the hot tub and watching the Skykomish roll by.

Sky Valley Retreat was made for all four seasons and all the different ways you might want to escape them.

Come feel at home. Take in the views. And let the river set the pace.

Guests have private access to the entire home, driveway, roof-covered open-air deck, private hot tub and Level 2 EV charger.

Guests may also enjoy the Green Water Meadows community river access, just a short walk from the home. A trail from the nearby upriver cul-de-sac leads to a beautiful stretch of the Skykomish River for relaxing by the water and enjoying the surrounding scenery. Message us anytime for directions.

The garage is reserved for owner storage and is not available to guests.

MOUNTAIN + RIVER SETTING

Sky Valley Retreat is a true riverfront mountain home. Weather and river conditions can change with the seasons, and you may encounter wildlife, insects, snow, rain and other natural elements that are part of experiencing the Cascades.

The river stairs directly on the property are not maintained for guest use. Please use the nearby community river access instead. River currents and water levels can change quickly, so please use appropriate caution and closely supervise children and pets around the water.

TRAIN SOUNDS

An active railway passes through the Skykomish Valley, and trains can occasionally be heard from the home, including at night. There is no crossing horn at the property. Many guests find the distant sound part of the valley's character, but light sleepers may prefer earplugs.

PETS

Well-behaved, house- and potty-trained pets are welcome when included in the reservation and covered by the applicable pet fee. Please supervise pets, keep them off neighboring properties and clean up after them.

EV CHARGING

A Level 2 DEWALT EV charger with a long cable is available on-site. Compatibility varies by vehicle, so some guests may need to bring their own compatible adapter.

DECK

The spacious deck is roof-covered overhead and open-air along the sides. It provides shelter from much of our Pacific Northwest weather, although wind-driven rain may reach portions of the deck.

INTERNET + UTILITIES

High-speed internet is available at up to 1 Gbps. Actual WiFi speeds vary by device and network conditions. As with many mountain communities, occasional weather-related internet, power or utility interruptions may occur.
