Nordic Retreat: Hot tub + Outdoor Movie Theater

• Unwind in a pergola-covered hot tub and enjoy cozy nights at your private outdoor movie theater
• Perfectly suited for romantic escapes or adventure-filled retreats
• Spacious covered deck with Adirondack lounge chairs, grill, and firepit — ideal for relaxing or entertaining
• Charming loft reading nook (accessed via a steep ladder)
• Pet-friendly
• Starlink Wi-Fi available, however connection can be spotty due to dense tree coverage

Step outside to an oversized, covered deck designed for year-round enjoyment, complete with Adirondack chairs, a gas fire-pit table, and a grill. The cabin is also pet-friendly, so your four-legged companion is welcome to join the adventure. Mornings are elevated with an espresso maker and French press, setting the tone for relaxed days ahead.

Just steps away, a Pacific Northwest–inspired spa nestled among the evergreens (shared with the neighboring cabin) invites you to fully unwind. Enjoy the handcrafted sauna, soak in the four-person hot tub, or rinse off in the outdoor cedar shower. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway or an adventurous retreat, this cabin places you minutes from world-class hiking, downhill and backcountry skiing, rock climbing, white-water rafting, and fishing - making it the perfect home base for both rest and exploration.

Other details to note:
If any problems arise, we will do our best to take action ASAP, but there is no one living onsite 24/7.

Drinking water
Our cabin’s water supply comes from a drilled well and, as is common in well systems, may contain natural elements that can affect the taste. Please note our water is treated with extensive filtration and is 100% safe for drinking. However, if you have sensitive taste preferences, you may wish to bring your own drinking water during your stay.

Hot Tub Notice
We strive to keep the hot tub clean, heated, and ready for every guest. Occasionally, it may be necessary to drain and rebalance the hot tub. This is rare, but if maintenance falls during your reservation, we’ll do our best to have it available again as quickly as possible.

Power Outage Precaution
The local power grid in the Index neighborhood can occasionally experience outages, particularly from October to March.
• If the power goes out during your stay, you will need to start the generator to supply electricity. We’ll guide you through the process, but you must follow a few basic steps (outlined in the Guidebook).
• The fireplaces are gas operated and will provide warmth + light during any power outage. We also have outlet plug-in flashlights that turn on automatically when the power goes out and a lantern available in the kitchen.
• If you choose to not use the generator in the event of a power outage, the propane grill will be the only cooking source. Running water will not operate as the water is accessed from the well via a pump.

Shared Amenities
The spa area – including the hot tub, sauna, and outdoor shower – are shared between the two cabins on the property. Please be considerate of all guests when using these amenities. Please note that the outdoor shower is operational during the non-winter months due to frequent freezing temperatures.

Wifi
Starlink Wifi is the only option as there are no internet service providers in the area. Starlink can be impacted by inclement weather and dense tree coverage, that will occasionally interrupt reception.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Cabin was spotless, modern yet cozy and nestled perfectly in the woods. Hot tub and outdoor theater was very private, you could not see anyone else’s property so it felt like a little oasis in the back! We spent a lot of time on the front porch watching the colorful birds and grilling out. Very relaxing to say the least. There is tons of hiking near by! We did heybrook lookout trail which was a great quick morning hike. Less than a mile off the neighborhood. We also did Lake Serene which was just as close and incredible!!! It was awesome to come off of a long hike and know our cabin was just down the road. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to escape into the woods and relax. If we’re in the area we will book this cabin again!!
