City/town information
This majestic tiny little town nestled at the foot of several 6 thousand foot Cascade Mountains is quite. With only 200 or so full time residents there are not many reliable restaurants, bars, or stores to visit. There is a museum, the recently renovated Bush House, and the General Store.

Car is a must but you can walk to town
You'll need a car or truck to get here but you can walk to town. It's about .5 miles along our gravel road and then the busier Index/Galena road. You can also run or bike from the cabins to several trails in the area.

What we do
When visiting the cabins we usually bring groceries as there are not many options in the valley. We like to cook, eat, drink, hot tub, river play, fish, and go for many of the area hikes. There are walking trails right on the property back in the woods we call The Trillium Trails.
