Flicker's Nest
We had such a great time in Erick and Sarah’s property! The yurt and bathroom are newly constructed, everything was clean and well-kept with thoughtful touches everywhere. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you’d need to cook on the small stove or outside on the fireplace grill, then eat/drink out of beautiful ceramic mugs and plates. The bathroom stays toasty with a propane heater and the custom concrete shower surrounded by cedar walls was a lovely experience. Outside of the yurt, the huge firs, maples and cottonwood trees are FULL of twittering birds and, at night, frogs. There’s so much to see and watch around the wetlands property, we didn’t have time to explore as much as we wanted but would love to come back and see even more! The hosts were super helpful and welcoming and great to chat with, they’re clearly very proud of the space they’ve set up for guests and happy to share. We’d absolutely stay again next time we’re in the area.

Flicker's Nest
Very cute yurt, and great hosts
I definitely recommend staying at Erick & Sarah's yurt. It is an incredibly inviting and cozy place that is well-decorated for a relaxing getaway.
It isn't super big so it doesn't take much to keep it warm and it is set up well to be comfortable for making food, having an evening in, and sleeping. Don't expect a massive cabin where you are going to have lots of guests over, that's not what it's designed for. But for 1-4 people it's great.
Its location is also fantastic because not only is Erick & Sarah's property massive, and has a cute river flowing through it, but the Acme area is gorgeous. You are about a one-hour drive from Mt. Baker, 5 min drive from a pretty sunset view of the mountains, 40 min from town, and just a walk away from lots of woodlands.
Finally, the hosts are phenomenal. Erick and Sarah and both very nice people who explained how everything worked and checked in with us to make sure our stay went well. They were extremely helpful in providing ideas for hikes in the area as well as just fun people to chat with.
Ps: I will say, if you are unaccustomed to the outdoors do keep in mind that Acme, and this yurt, are definitely more rural than a city (which I love). With thin walls, like in all yurts, you do hear animals outside like deer, raccoon, and their big friendly dog. I feel it personally makes me feel more connected to nature, but if hearing animals around you isn't your vibe this is something to consider.
