Nestled in the Tarboo Valley near Dabob Bay, you will find a relaxing little off grid hideaway where the forest meets the sea!

Ravens converse, robins sing and deer meander through Cedars, Big Leaf Maples and luscious ferns. Fall asleep under the stars and wake up to the chirping birds. Our woods are home to Grandma Big Leaf Maple that holds you as you swing from her branch and feel the joy of letting go rush over you. With the freedom of no cell service, you can spend a quiet moment to think under the cedars at our meditation rock. We offer a communal fire pit, kitchen & bathroom area in our meadow for refreshing and recharging while meeting magical new souls sharing in the euphoria of nature in an alcohol and tobacco free space.

This location provides easy access to trailheads in the Olympic National Forest, Mt Walker Viewpoint, and kayaking in the most pristine and protected inlets of the Salish Sea.
