Seattle Vacation Ideas

How many floating cabins are you aware of that are only accessable by boat?  For years, I’ve wanted to go to Ross Lake and stay at thesefloating cabins.  You drive north from Seattle and then take Highway 20 east about 65 miles to Diablo Dam and then have to catch a boat that will ferry you about an hour up the lake to the resort.  Board the boat which departs at 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. daily, and takes you to the end of Diablo Lake.  There are four styles of cabins, and they are fully furninshed and have hot and cold water as well as electricity. This is a place to get away, no roads or stores are nearby so be sure you bring your own.  The resort is open from mid-June through October. 

Recreation includes fishing, boating, hiking, camping (although be sure you get a back country pass from the USFS).   You can rent fishing poles, kayaks, canoes, and small motor boats. On the weekends, you must rent a boat on the weekeends if you’re staying in a cabin.of Diablo Lake
