My wife Nassim and I bought properties in Index WA in 2010. We enjoy the river, mountains, and woods with our two children. In total, we have five unique cabins on our property that we call The Pietsch Pit. It is our pleasure to host you. Please text with questions.

At O'Neill Cabin, we offer a unique experience for our guests. Our rustic, private, riverfront, cabin is remodeled with reclaimed materials, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere for a retreat. The covered hot tub is perched up on the river's edge with views of the river, the forest, and the sheer granite cliffs of The Index Town Wall. Soaking in it is the perfect way to end a day of exploration in the mountains. Come experience the magic of the North Cascades Mountains with us. This fishing cabin built in the 1950s is begging for you to come relax, unplug, and let your stresses float away on the North Fork of the Skykomish River. Take a soak in the covered hot tub perched over the river and gaze upon the famous Index Town Wall as bald eagles look for steelhead in the waters below. The cabin features a custom kitchen counter top made from reclaimed Teredo Clam Wood boards and river boulders. There is a full sized fridge, apartment sized range, retro microwave, coffee maker, and selection of all the basic kitchen supplies. Grill your favorite dish on the Webber propane BBQ after a long day on the slopes - Steven’s Pass Ski Area is 30 minutes away - or hiking, fishing, or tubing on the wild river. The master suite is donned with reclaimed wood walls, a queen sized bed, and a brand new 43" smart TV. The connecting bathroom has a custom stone rain shower, including a river cobble stripe with a 50 million year old fish fossil smiling at you while hot water beats down on your head. The second sleeping area is in the common living room and is outfitted with a full-sized bed and a twin sleeper sofa (linens, mattress cover, and pillow in side table, comforter in wicker basket if needed). O'Neill Cabin, private riverfront firepit, the acre of grass field, the private forest walking trails behind The Treeframe, and The North Fork of The Skykomish river. We now offer grocery service! Please send us your list to have your fridge and pantry stocked.

This property (The Pietsch Pit) is gated and is THE last house on the secluded dirt road. If you want to get away and unplug this is truly a spot for you. Located steps from the river you will follow the fishing trail down to the world famous Skykomish to fish for Steelhead (WA State Fish) and Dolly Varden trout in the honey hole directly in front of the cabin! The river can be a little cold, but no worries -- jump into your private, covered hot tub to soak away the chill and hash over your battles with the Steelhead that you and your friends are about to enjoy. The property sits on an acre field of grass with dozens of evergreen trees scattered about. Kick a ball, throw a Frisbee, play croquet, or toss a horse shoe in the custom cedar log pits. Run freely in the fields of O'Niell Cabin and don’t forget to have a fire in the river boulder fire pit riverside. The town of Index is 0.2 miles away by foot or car; only 2 rapids by kayak! There is a general store in Index with basic supplies, wine, and beer, but most significant grocery runs we do in Monroe, WA, about 20 minutes west, toward Seattle. In town, be sure to check out the Outdoor Adventure Center. They offer world class rafting and kayaking, serve an amazing selection of great micro brews (mainly in 22oz size), and have big TVs that often are tuned to the Seahawks on game day. This is a unique property at the end of a road, 30 minutes from Stevens Pass Ski area, and steps from one of the last wild rivers in this country. We hope that you enjoy your stay! Please bring your own firewood. Any additional guest must be cleared by host, additional fees may apply. Bedding for the sleeper sofa is under the other bed. O'Neill Cabin is on a riverfront gated 5 acre property with 5 other small cabins. This one is the last one at the end of our driveway.
