Our old growth temperate rain forest homestead begins the wild and uncut wilderness that extends 40 miles to the Canadian boarder and beyond just as far. Before us it was part of Cascadian Farm (the organic food brand which still operates a lovely ice cream, esspresso, and berry stand adjacent to us), and before that it was one of the first farms this deep into the Cascade Range supplying food for the crews building the dams. We offer both a yurt and tree house. You will be on our small farm/homestead that is backed up to the Mount Baker National Forest with undisturbed forest all north all the way to the Canadian border to the north, Baker lake to the north west, and to the North Cascades National park to the North east. The Skagit River flows to the south of us. If you like freezing cold glacier water, we'll provide you with a map where you can walk down to the river to cool off at a safe swimming hole. Guests love staying here "Such a glorious and relaxed stay. The yurt really was a palace, it was so spacious and had many thoughtful amenities. We hiked on the mountain, forded a river and played with Hiland cows, all within walking distance of the yurt. I was worried that it would be cold but we were toasty and were even able to cook full course meals. Terry and Erin were the perfect hosts, responsive and yet non-instrusive. Thank you so much for letting us have this experience!"This 30 foot diameter yurt has over 700 square feet of space, a mini kitchen, wood stove, table and chairs, a couch, and a mini library with books, magazines, and games. Three 'bedrooms', two with double beds and one with a single including a roll out trundle bed. Including the couch it sleeps seven; bring sleeping pads and the sky's the limit!

Forest Yurt/Palace

Cozy and Spacious

The Yurt was basic without running water and you needed to walk a bit to get to the toilets on the other side of camp, but we found it relatively clean and cozy. We spent two nights there. It got a little cold as the space heaters couldn't quite keep up at night. But there was a stove for a fire that could have been used to keep the place warmer if you wanted to get up periodically at night to tend it. There was coffee, which we appreciated, and games and puzzles that the kids enjoyed. Definitely a big step up from tent camping! We would stay again if we were in the area. Thank you for your stay!

Camping with an upgrade!

Beautiful location. Everything you need and more for a great glamping experience. Unexpected addition of a hot shower was a nice bonus! Not far to drive to Lake Diablo and the North Cascades National Park Visitor Centre with plenty of trails. The accommodation is 'rough & ready' so as the hosts say, if you want a hotel finish, this is not the right place for you. If you want camping with a comfy bed, kitchen and all the amenities including fridge/freezer and toaster, then this is perfect! We were only here one night but wished we could have stayed longer.

Nice tucked away yurt!

Had a great time here, the yurt is very comfortable and homey. There isn't much space around the yurt but had access to plenty of bathrooms and showers. The beds are a life saver when camping and the host was very friendly!

The yurt was in desperate need of repair. Extremely mildewy smelling and everything was damp due to wet, mildewy canvas of yurt even though it was mid summer. Hardly anywhere to park due to overgrown blackberry bushes, unlevel porch and yurt floor. Left early as smell was too overwhelming.

Forest Yurt/Palace

My friends and I would never spend the money to stay here again. We even left early because we were too uncomfortable staying 2 more nights. The owner is not on site and the property manager barely welcomed us and showed us around. I had to go and find him and ask questions in order to get any information. The listing of the Yurt is very different now, so please continue to book with caution. This place has so much potential, but it has been completely neglected. Driving up, you feel like you are at a junkyard. The yurt itself was super hot, so thankfully they had fans running. There were spiders and webs all over and we even had a mouse inside. The fridge doesn’t work, so the property manager brought in an emergency cooler that smelled like mildew but was functional so we were thankful our food wasn’t going to go bad. The “appliances” are barely usable (toaster is super dirty, French press could maybe make half a cup of coffee). There’s clutter everywhere (like an entire stack of plywood just piled adding to the clutter). When I looked behind the counters and stove, there was a bunch of dirty kitchen utensils and something that looked like it was rotting. There is a shower you walk to, and definitely no trail to the river. We thought this place was going to be much nicer than it was. When I reached out to the owner and property manager to let them know we were leaving early because of how uncomfortable we were, nobody responded to rectify the situation.
