Cozy Skykomish Getaway

The "Great Northern" Cabin is a one-family-owned/one-family-run cozy home away from home! Come visit the mountains and the town of Skykomish as your host for world class mountain biking, hiking in the Cascade mountains and Sky Valley, rafting on the Skykomish River and countless other outdoor activites. Or, if you prefer, just escape to a quiet retreat, grab a good book, a cup of coffee and relax while you listen to the raindrops on the metal roof. We can't wait to welcome you to our home! The space Our 1,000 SF cabin was built in 1926 as housing for railroad workers. It has now been updated throughout the years to be a cozy escape in the mountains. The fully equipped kitchen and appliances were replaced, bedroom rebuilt, loft access upgraded and living room updated in 2019 and 2020. New siding was added in 2023, and the bathroom and living room was refurbished in 2024. You'll enjoy spending family time around our fire pit area (gas only, no open burning on property), built in 2020. Storage is available for mountain bikes and other outdoor equipment in on-site outbuildings. The house features a quaint open-concept living area with sleeper sofas, TV and electric fireplace. A mini-split system heats and cools the cabin to a cozy temperature all year long. The upstairs loft features ample space for kids to play, accessed by “tiny house” style ladder stairs. The bedroom houses a queen bed, electric fireplace and TV. An eat-in kitchen is equipped with all the pots, pans, dishes, and utensils you'll need to seat and feed up to 5, or eat at the table and chairs on the back deck. Guest access Access to the whole house, firepit and outbuilding for storing outdoor equipment. Other things to note • We are not a rental company, just a family who can’t use our space half the year and are happy to share it with others who enjoy the mountains! Thank you for supporting a “one family” business. • There is no grocery store in Skykomish. There is a Family Grocer in Gold Bar. The closest major supermarkets are Fred Meyer and Safeway – both located in Monroe. • There is not a standard coffee maker, only a single serve Keurig. • There is a firepit with a propane burning pit available, but no wood burning pit. No wood burning is allowed on the property. • The house is old and on the edge of the woods; wildlife is plentiful and sometimes can make its way inside, including flies, mosquitos, bees, and field mice. We do our best to seal the house, but sometimes nature finds a way in. Both cats and dogs have been present at the property, if you have any allergic sensitivities.
