The space has undergone a complete interior refresh with updated finishes, curated furnishings, and warm, elevated design details throughout. Our listing photos now capture the refreshed interiors, highlighting the updated finishes, curated furnishings, and overall feel of the space.

A Note on Mountain Living
For added peace of mind, the cabin is equipped with an on-demand backup generator to help keep the lights and heat running in the event of a power outage.

Please Note: Because the cabin is on a community well, the water pump requires external power that is not connected to the generator. In the event of a neighborhood power outage, water will be unavailable until power is restored. We appreciate your understanding of this unique mountain quirk.

Living in Nature
Oxbow Cabin is surrounded by forest and riverfront wilderness where nature is part of the experience. We take precautions with regular professional pest control and thorough cleaning, but occasional insects or natural elements can still appear from time to time. It’s simply part of staying in a beautiful mountain setting.

We look forward to welcoming you to Oxbow Cabin and sharing this special corner of the Skykomish Valley with you.

Other Things to Note:
* Heads up! The loft bedroom is accessed via a steep ladder, which may not be suitable for everyone.
*Just a friendly note: We're part of a private riverfront gated community, so you'll have neighbors nearby.
*Embracing Nature: While our pest control company works hard to keep pests away, there's always a chance you might come across one during your stay as we are in the woods in nature. Please note this before booking.
*Safety first! Rivers can be unpredictable, so please exercise extreme caution (use at your own risk) when near the water.
*Refreshing well: Our well water may have a faint mineral smell, but rest assured, it's absolutely safe.
*The cabin does not have AC. We have a quite a few trees that add shade at the cabin as well as extra fans in the family room, bedrooms and loft.
*In the winter months our neighborhood roads are well-plowed. But during a storm it can take some time to plow the roads. We recommend All-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive vehicles or bringing chains as we cannot predict snow & ice storms. Given we are in a remote mountain area, these storms can also cause power outages which are out of our control.
*We do have an on-demand backup generator for the cabin's electricity, but because we are on a community well if the power goes out there is not water.
