Purchased in 2013 after a fire came through the area. We've spent the last 7 years regenerating the land, planting trees, building our house and collecting places for people to rest their heads. Masabaje is the first two letters of each of our parents names (Margaret, Sandy, Barry, Jerry). We offer four listings - a converted schoolbus, an Airstream, retro trailer, and tent spot. Meet Birdy, a semi-converted Blue Bird school bus with a comfortable queen mattress, couch, two recliners, dry kitchen, cooking utensils, and camp stove. There is access to a toilet, shower and sink (clean up area) in back room of main house (about a 4 minute walk). Birdy sits at "Top Pond", farthest from the house in a super quiet and private spot. You must bring your own bedding or sleeping bags, pillows, etc. (available here for an additional fee). There is no electricity available in Birdy. Devices can be charged up at the house. There is also no heater in Birdy, overnight temperatures in September and October can dip down into the mid-low 40's or lower. Meet Tin Man, we found him after he had been in an accident. We bandaged him up and he became the first place to sleep when we bought our empty land. He has a comfortable double mattress, couch, chair, kitchen, cooking utensils, and two burner stove. There is access to a toilet, shower and sink (clean up area) in back room of main house (about a 30 second walk). Tin Man sits on our driveway round-a-bout and is closest to the house. You must bring your own bedding or sleeping bags, pillows, etc. (available here for an additional fee). Ellensburg is known for its wind and our land is just down from a wind farm. We cannot control the wind, but Birdy sits in a pretty wind protected oasis. We are less than 2 hours from Seattle, 1 hour to Yakima wine country, 40 minutes to Vantage, 40 minutes to Leavenworth, 50 minutes to Snoqualmie Pass, 15 minutes to Ellensburg, 25 minutes to Roslyn, 25 minutes to Yakima River Canyon for floating and hiking, and so much more!

Magnificent Stay

Magnificent experience. Chris and Bruce are Incredibly kind and gracious. The clubhouse/common area is the big score. State of the art fridge, washer and dryer, and an amazing glass shower. 5 star all the way. Health and happiness are the priority here. And wait till you see the stars…

Birdy

This was a cute place to crash after a show at The Gorge Amphitheater. The noise of the brook flowing into the pond next to Birdy was soothing. Clear communication and directions from the hosts was appreciated.

Birdy

Come prepared and enjoy.

Birdy is in a serene, lovely oasis: quiet and private in a beautiful setting. However, for this 68 yr old it presented some challenges. The toilet is located too far away for folks who need more than one bathroom run during the night. The kitchen is also located in the same building. It's a bit barebones, so if you like semi-roughing it, Birdy is perfect! No running water, electricity, and you need to bring your own linens and bedding. Inside Birdy is comfortably furnished with a comfortable bed, sofa and two easy chairs. Other on-site amenities are described on Hipc⛺mp's site. All-in-all, Birdy is a perfect place for folks who can do with fewer amenities or conveniences. I'd stay there again, but come better prepared

Luxor

What a wonderful experience!

The land is beautiful and the hosts could not be any friendlier! The weather wasn't looking so great for our trip, but Chris came out and offered a dry place for us to stay. He was super proactive and responsive and I couldn't ask for anything more!
