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.
We now offer grocery service! Please send us your list to have your fridge and pantry stocked.

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.

We went in the winter and it was beautiful. The cabin is perfectly situated next to the river with amazing views. There is so much to do in that area and it was easy to get in and out of town to explore and get groceries. The hosts were extremely helpful with information. The hot tub was amazing! Thank you for an amazing stay.
Very cute and cozy cabin right on the river with beautiful river and Mountain Views. Hot tub was a great feature and there is a path to the riverbed. Very close to town where there is a small general store and one small restaurant (inside a historic hotel, limited menu but good food). There are a cluster of cabins on the property but it still felt very private. Driveway is gated which made it feel secure. Only downside is bedroom is upstairs (with tight spiral staircase) and only bathroom is downstairs so going to the bathroom in the middle of the night was not the easiest, but we knew that going into the booking and it’s definitely not a deal breaker. Host was very attentive and communicative. I would definitely stay here again or book another of Nicks properties.
Had a great time with this property accompanied by our pups. The location is great for secluded get away with a Riverside location for the property. Although there are five other properties in the vicinity, there is limited interaction with the other renters. The Amos cabin is spacious and provides you with basic necessities. Kitchen is great in the bedroom has a separate room for children to sleep, although it is not a separate room from the main. Beware that the spiral stairs are a bit of a challenge for nothing to challenging to handle. In terms of the outside the hot tub was a great time and the river also provides you with activities to do. Overall great stay. Do bring firewood though.
