Even though the Hideaway isn't right on the river, it sits on one of the best view lots in the park!
Cascade River Park is an off grid gated community with a mixture of stick-built homes, yurts, tiny homes, RVs, and recreational lots. Some residents live here year-round but most come to vacation. The park has a community gathering area right on the Cascade River with swings, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Community Events are posted at Times Square.
If you continue on Cascade River Road, it will dead end in the North Cascades National Park at the Hidden Lake trailhead. There are breathtaking views just a short drive from the cabin! Or head east on HWY 20 into the main part of the national park, known for amazing river and lake fishing, hiking, and waterfalls!
Marblemount is a quaint town. It has 2 restaurants, a hotel, post office, and 2 gas stations which both carry a wide range of necessities. It is the last town with services before heading over the pass. Concrete and Sedro Woolley are the next closest towns to Marblemount with actual grocery and hardware stores but the nearest Wal-Mart or big box store is in Mt. Vernon or Burlington, about 1 hour and 15 minutes west of Marblemount so it's best to plan your stops before getting all the way to Marblemount.
Finally, guests should know that HWY 20 closes seasonally through the pass. It depends on weather but usually closes late October-mid November and reopens between April-May depending on road conditions. Marblemount is only accessible from the west side of the Cascade Mountains during the winter and 4 wheel drive is recommended to access the cabin if/when there is snow.
You are welcome to use the entire cabin and surrounding property as well as any Cascade River Park community common areas. Please respect the 15 MPH speed limit and quiet hours of the park from 10pm-7am (no generators during quiet hours).
Because this is a gated community, detailed instructions for the gate code will be sent after booking.
We live about an hour away so we probably will not have direct contact but we are more than happy to answer any pre-booking questions or questions during your stay. If you need assistance with something during your stay, please reach out and we will head up there ourselves or have a friend in the park assist.
The Cascade River Hideaway is in a rural area and is surrounded by forest lands. It is imperative that food and trash is stored inside. There is a community dumpster to dispose of trash during your stay. Please clean up food and trash outside and use grill brush on BBQ after using to prevent furry animals from coming around.
If you want to have power, you MUST RUN THE GENERATOR twice a day. An hour in the morning and an hour in the evening after 7am and before 9pm. Its easy to start. There is a remote in the kitchen window sill. Just press and hold the button until you hear the generator. If it doesn't fire right away, just wait. It will try to restart itself up to 7 more times. DO NOT REMOVE THE REMOTE FROM THE WINDOW SILL. If it gets lost, there is a $200 replacement fee. If you use the microwave/ hair dryer/appliances frequently, you may want to run the generator a bit longer. Never use the microwave and hair dryer at the same time. This will cause the breaker to pop... joys of off-grid living! Please be mindful to turn lights and other things off to preserve the battery power. Do not leave any food or garbage outside. Please turn lights off, start the dishwasher, and lock doors and windows prior to leaving. Before leaving the park, return all keys to the lockbox. There is a $100 fee for lost keys/gate card.
Smoking outside is allowed away from open doors and windows. Please use ashtray. If bringing a dog, please clean up after them (doggie doo bags provided) and keep them on a leash/cable while outside. If you go somewhere and can't take your dog with you, it must be crated when left unattended. The Upriver Bar and Taproom allow dogs on their patio seating. Before check out, please load and start the dishwasher. We will handle everything else 🙂
