The Neighborhood:
Index is located in the western foothills of the Cascade Mountains; the summit of Mount Index is located 3 miles (4.8 km) south of the town. The Index Town Walls, granite cliffs up to 500 feet (150 m) high, are located on the northern edge of the town. These walls are popularly used for rock climbing, offering a variety of high-quality cracks for this purpose. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.23 square miles (0.60 km2), all of it land.
Index is located on the North Fork Skykomish River, just above its confluence with the main channel of the Skykomish River. The Skykomish River's Sunset Falls, a nearly 300-foot-long (91 m) granite chute that drops some 100 feet (30 m), is located approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) from the town (on the South Fork Skykomish River).[citation needed] In December 1980, the Skykomish River flooded the town and destroyed eight homes.
The town is located 1 mile (1.6 km) north of US Highway 2, approximately 25 miles (40 km) west of Stevens Pass. The BNSF railroad, formerly the Great Northern Railway, runs through the middle of the town. Index was once an important stop for the mining (particularly Monte Cristo and Galena) and timber activities north of its location.
Other Things to Note:
We now offer grocery service! Please send us your list to have your fridge and pantry stocked.
Please bring your own firewood.
Bedding for the sleeper sofa is in the storage bench in the dining room. It was made from a fir tree that blew down on the property. Please be careful opening & closing, it is heavy.
The 2 baseboard heaters do a good job but to heat the main floor over 70 degrees you'll need to have a fire.
Any additional guest must be cleared by host, additional fees may apply.
Amos Cabin is on a riverfront gated 5 acre property with 5 other small cabins. Persis Cabin is pretty close but the spaces are wonderful. It is nice to rent Persis in conjunction with Amos.
