Rusty Bridge River Lodge | Hot Tub & Barrel Sauna
Escape to this riverfront lodge beside the iconic Rusty Bridge on the Mountain Loop. Soak in the hot tub, warm up in the barrel sauna, take a cold plunge, and gather at your covered riverside firepit. Inside, enjoy a gas fireplace, cozy lodge-style interiors, fast Wi-Fi, and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Near Lake 22, Heather Lake, Gothic Basin, Mt. Pilchuck, and Verlot.
Tucked along the South Fork Stillaguamish, this cozy riverfront lodge blends mountain adventure with rest and recharge. Spend the day hiking nearby trails, then come home to unwind by the river.
Inside, the lodge features a comfortable living area with a gas fireplace, smart TV, and inviting seating. The home sleeps up to 4 guests with a queen bedroom on the main level and a queen bed in the loft, all with hotel-quality linens.
The fully stocked kitchen makes it easy to cook meals at home, and the dining area plus patio BBQ give you flexible options for staying in and relaxing.
The outdoor setup is what makes this place special: a riverside patio with hot tub, barrel sauna, cold plunge, and chiminea, plus a shared covered firepit down by the water. It’s an ideal basecamp for couples, friends, or small families looking to recharge in the woods.

Owen and his team have a gorgeous cabin that I would recommend to anyone! Secluded, cozy and perfectly placed off Mountain Loop Highway! The outdoor sauna was a complete game changer, especially with a view of the Stillaguamish River.

Perfect to disconnect from reality and breathe in some nature.

If you're looking for a peaceful getaway, this is the place. The cabin is perfect for a couple just wanting to relax and enjoy nature. It's comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed the hot tub, sauna, and also hung out by the fire pit. Water levels were low since it was late September but we didn't mind because you could still hear it flowing. Overall we had an awesome stay and would recommend this cabin.

Loved our stay!!! We went down to the river every day. Our kids and dog loved exploring. Beautiful house. We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna every day. Great mattress! We can't wait to go back.

Very nice cabin with quality touches inside and out, in an ideal location next to the river. We hope to be back for a longer stay next time.

We absolutely loved our stay. It was a much needed break from the city. The place was spotless and gave such a cozy/homey feel. We had everything we could have needed in this space. The amenities were great, the hot tub was nice and clean so was the sauna and the bbq pit. We loved the layout of the home and the decor. We would definitely book again when visiting the area.

What can I say about the Rusty Bridge River Lodge?! It was everything. My husband and I spent three glorious nights here. Spent time at the river, went for walks across the bridge and down the road to see waterfalls, spent time in the hot tub AND incredible sauna. We took two hikes in the area (Heather Lake, and Perry Creek Falls) and drove awhile on the mountain loop highway. Lots to do in this area if you like the outdoors. The hikes were beautiful, and were made all the better by coming back and being able to soak in the hot tub. Even if you just wanted to chill and unwind at the cabin, it would make for the perfect escape. Also a great launch pad for the Cascade mountain loop, which is what we’re doing. I hope very much I make my way back to RBRL someday! We’re very grateful for our time there!!
