Rusty Bridge River Lodge

Rusty Bridge River Lodge is a pup friendly cabin that comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests. With a plush queen bed on the main floor and a queen in the cozy loft. Both beds have hotel quality cotton linens. This fully remodeled cabin, built in 1958, sits adjacent to the single lane Rusty Bridge over the Sauk River, providing guests with breathtaking river views. This is a 4 season paradise!

Inside the cabin, guests will find a living room with a gas fireplace and comfy couches, perfect for relaxing after a day of outdoor activities. The fully stocked kitchen has everything guests need to prepare meals, and there is a BBQ on the patio for grilling.

Beyond its cozy interiors, the lodge boasts a hot tub strategically positioned for uninterrupted river views. Let the sounds of flowing waters mingle with the crackle from the covered fire pit, all under the watchful eyes of the majestic evergreens.

But the experience doesn't end at the lodge's boundaries. Rusty Bridge serves as your portal to the Pacific Northwest's wonders: from kayaking amidst fall's riot of colors to winter fly fishing. Discover trails leading to hidden waterfalls, and the nearby hiking spots like Lake 22 and Gothic Basin.

After a day outdoors, Granite Falls beckons with its array of offerings. Dive into the local culture with bars and tap rooms echoing with stories of the Cascades, coffee shops brewing the perfect blend of warmth and flavor, and restaurants serving culinary delights that celebrate the region. Granite Falls isn't just a town; it's an experience, blending history with modern tastes.

The entire home and property are yours to enjoy. Adjacent cabins are nearby, but each has separate parking areas and entrances and is privacy fenced, providing a peaceful and private atmosphere. Past guests have enjoyed the privacy with hardly a notice of the other guests in those cabins. The firepit by the beach is reserved for you, and river access just below the steps is shared with Mt. Pilchuck River Cabin. The Verlot Campground, the ranger station, and Heather Creek are just a short walk away.

We are located next to the Rusty Bridge and the Stilly River. Situated just below Mt. Pilchuck and Heather Lake. We are in a community of cabins within the USDA forest service area. It's a little rustic in our neighborhood. There is a mix of vacation cabins and permanent residences. We have very low crime in our zone, and most folks keep to themselves. This is an all inclusive space and very welcoming. Don't be surprised if someone goes by and gives you a friendly wave. Many locals have helped with our restoration and creation here, and folks look out for each other in the Verlot community. You are in a welcome place :)

We want to ensure that you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
