Serenity in the mountains

This hotel is a wonderful, unique, historic building. The rooms are a little small, but there is a large sun room that is available to all guests. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. I came to visit for a quiet getaway and it was absolutely perfect.

Hotel and town of Index are both gems

A beautifully restored historic property in a very sweet little town. Abundant hiking and natural beauty. The restaurant at the hotel is way better than it has to be — the chef knows how to cook. We will definitely be back!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Bush House Inn. It’s a short in 1 Hour Dr. from Seattle. The Inn has a lot of charm and is very clean with lots of charm. The owners are sweet and knowledgeable about the area.
