• Flashlight for use to and from the hot tub, strolls down to the river after dark, etc. It is also nice to have when you arrive after dark. Occassionally the porch light burns out and leaves you in absolute dark trying to enter the code to retrieve the key!
• Towels and robes for hot tubbing. Sandles or shoes to wear to and from the tub. The tub is about 100 feet from the cabin, 200 ' from tipi, and down a dirt trail.
• No oils, lotions and bubbles in the tub, please!
• Hiking / climbing / fishing/ ski gear
• Videos & CD's. We supply the players, some great movies, romantic CD's in cabin. (sorry, none in the tipi)
• Food and beverages
• Towels for use at the River (towels for use inside are supplied)
• Firewood for fire pit (except during very hot months when there is a burn ban). Small outdoor fires are permitted only when conditions are safe. Please tend your fire, keep it small and make sure it is completely out before leaving. Grocery stores with firewood and logs - Coming from Seattle / Redmond / Everett there is an excellent Safeway in Monroe with a large stock of bundled wood and Dellogs. Coming from Eastern Washington there is a Safeway in Leavenworth with everything you will need.
• Charcoal and lighter fluid for BBQ grill

There are great old style community stores in Baring, Index and Skykomish. The Baring Store has a great deli, espresso, chili, and is a fun experience as the local community parades by to pick up their mail at the post office in back. There is fine dining and lounge in Index at the Bush House, good burgers and breakfast at the Index Cafe and the hotels in Skykomish.
