Ansel's Cabin, Riverfront Hot Tub w/MtView

A glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space" is how Ansel Adams described Yosemite, but he could have easily been describing this section of the Snoqualmie River. If Ansel were alive today, this historic cabin would be his retreat; his muse. Ansel's Cabin is located on banks of the Snoqualmie river, anchored at the foot of Mt. Si’s granite face. This cabin is for people who need nature in their lives; a place to decompress, experience nature, and restore sanity.
