Index accommodation from AU$248

This is literally located right next to the river. Listening to the roar of the river at night reminded me of camping next to the river as a kid. Remote area surrounded by mountains. We stayed while it was chilly so there was a lot of fog surrounding the mountain tops. Close to a couple easy hiking trails. If you like nature be sure to visit here. This is a great escape from the big city.

We’ve stayed here quite a few times. It’s super quiet and safe. The staff is wonderful. The bathrooms are very nice, with heated floors. The one shower has dual heads. Beautiful historic inn.

When we showed up, everything was ready to go. Hot tub heated and ready (a nice touch), a bottle of wine set out for the adults, and games and movies ready to go without trouble. The neighborhood is true mountain town. There’s not a lot going on as for entertainment and dining, but we expected this going in. It’s part of the joys of being in Index. There is occasional train noise, but I found it undisturbing to my sleep with fans going. The place was clean and I felt as listed. We did a number of hikes in the area during couple of days at the house that were fun and okay for some inclement weather. In the guest book, they mention that their water is some of the best drinking water in America, and we’d have to agree—it’s very good water. It’s great for both drinking and showers.We’d definitely come back.
