Sleeping Spaces
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.
