If life or the city feels like too much right now…escape to our incredible sanctuary with six powerful waterfalls, 35 acres of farm and forest to roam, stunning vistas, and the blessing of solitude to bring you back in touch with the magic of nature, and the quiet longings of your soul.
Sacred Falls Sanctuary is a special place unlike any other, which you’ll experience when you’re standing in front of our lower Grotto Falls, feeling the cool, misty wind blowing across your face, or slipping into the grotto pool at the top of the falls, carved from the solid rock. Or perhaps you’ll feel it while meditating inside our small cave, feeling like you’ve stumbled into the land that time forgot. If you need a sanctuary, a place of retreat, some calming and healing solitude, this is the place for you.
The land around Sacred Falls Sanctuary was one of the original pioneer homesteads on this traditional Cowlitz tribal land. Besides our magical falls and forest, we also have some bucolic farm vistas across our wide open pastures, including a small apple orchard, and our giant 120-year old barn that still stands from the original homestead.
If you like animals, we have a horse, pony, four goats, two cats, and two dogs who make their home here, as well as lots of wild animals, including eagles, elk, and coyote that can be seen from the back pasture. In summer, we have gardens, and wild edible plants in the forest, like oxalis and chanterelle mushrooms. In August, we’re practically a u-pick blackberry farm.
As a heads up, this is a super rustic but still working farm, which means it has giant hunks of old rusting tractor parts, random farm junk, and various kind of practical but not always beautiful fencing left around by the owner.
I am not the ‘owner’, but the steward for this land; I’m also queer, trans, and an indigenous shamanic practitioner. If you appreciate supporting Native people and ventures, I’m happy to have you here. I hold this land and water as sacred, and these elemental beings as our first healers, and I love being able to share the healing power of this place with folks like you. I work from home, so let me know if you’d be interested in a session to support your retreat; you can see more about my work at www.portlandshaman.com.Welcome to the tiny farmhouse! It looks out over our grassy apple orchard and historic 120-year old barn. There’s a queen bed for guests in our 24’ wood interior tiny house, and a comfy wicker chair so you can lounge in the warmth, read a book, and watch the rain outside. Enjoy an electric fire in the wood mantle hearth while you sip some tea provided in the wooden spice drawers and enjoy the view of the barn out the glass door. There’s a small kitchenette with a hotplate and mini-fridge, basic utensils, and salt, pepper, and oil. There is a composting toilet inside the tiny house during winter. Delicious pure well water is accessible via a hose just outside the door. There are two chairs just outside the tiny house to enjoy the orchard if it’s not raining, and the creek and waterfall on the land are a short walk away. Let me know if you’d like a tour or orientation to the land, and I’m happy to show you around or just leave you in peace. Enjoy the sanctuary of our tiny farmhouse!
