Bush House Inn

We loved our stay at the Bush House Inn! Beautiful little inn in a beautiful spot convenient to many outdoor activities. The staff was very friendly helpful, the rooms were clean, and the food was excellent! Train tracks nearby but it was not a problem despite us being very sound sensitive. We definitely recommend the Bush House Inn.

I booked a room with a private bath. The room was small but very fine for one person. The room ambiance is deliberately old-fashioned, with a vintage wardrobe and dresser. I love the style! The room had a lovely view of what is for good reason called "The Wall in Index". The mountain looks as if it is at a 90-degree angle from the ground - it's a straight vertical. Fascinating! WiFi is free and works well. The bed is very comfortable. There are several wall outlets for charging gadgets. There is free parking right outside the Inn. The Inn is historical but has not been open very long in this incarnation, so a few things needed to be addressed in the room. The battery-operated smoke detector batteries are apparently not changed on a yearly schedule, so one or maybe both of mine were beeping. This was taken care of immediately once I notified the front desk (which I believe was the owner). There was no hot water. This was also immediately addressed once I informed the front desk. There was hand soap and shampoo in the bathroom, but oddly, no shower soap. I ended up using the shampoo as a body wash, as I felt that I had bothered the front desk enough! The dining room is not yet open. It is supposed to open soon. I very much hope to come back and stay at this lovely place and dine and have breakfast in the restaurant.

I stayed at the Bush House Inn for a family event last weekend and couldn't recommend it more highly. It was comfortable, clean and historic. It exceeded all of my expectations. Most importantly, the people who work there - literally 100% of the people we interacted with - were incredible. They were kind to us, understanding, and helpful. Hopefully you get to stay here during an adventure - a beautiful Inn in a beautiful part of the world.

The Bush House is the place to stay in Index, WA. Situated near whitewater rafting, hiking, climbing walls and bouldering...you can't go wrong. In fact, it is an absolute delight with delightful Innkeepers, clean rooms and tasteful renovation. YES, we will be back to enjoy their hospitality, the envirmental surroundings (including passing trains) and the opportunity gather with friends here.

wonderful and welcoming reception by staff…the reception area in the inn had a display of pictures and examples on the history of the area, both mining and lumber, the inn has been remodeled but still retains the feeling of it’s history…the rooms though small are comfortable and cozy… Great restaurant which though the rooms were above..,were quiet before 9:00pm.,, Great hiking paths and those who are so Inclined rock climbing., Stunning area

In Index is a charming town a short ways off of the bustle of US2. The Inn has been throughly renovated, but maintains charm and character of its history. I felt very welcome. Lots of views that remind you that you are well into the mountains. enjoyed the Heybrook Ridge Trailhead that is about a quarter of a mile away. The restaurant is managed separately from the Inn and I had several pleasant meals there. If you are looking for a spot to sample the Cascade Mountains, this is a great place to base your visit.
