Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! BEFORE BOOKING: Please read through all of the rules and restrictions- due to inconsiderate guests we have had to update rules and add new ones. Thank you. **IF YOU ARE BRINGING YOUR DOG: PLEASE read ALL the rules for your pet- especially the one about having your dog on a leash AT ALL times while you are on the property. Take note that there is a nightly fee when you bring your dog (MAXIMUM 2 dogs per site), make sure to select it under 'Extras" when you book! More info under the pet rule section. Thank you! Waterfall Sanctuary is a hidden gem at the end of a dead-end road on 17 acres of land, bordered on two sides by the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Located in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge just outside of Carson, Washington, Waterfall Sanctuary is home to a mini-farm with goats, ducks, and chickens. Deer and elk walk through the property on a fairly regular basis depending on the season, it's less than a mile walk (or a short drive) to the Wind River and a perfect swimming hole with a rope swing, and another short distance further down the road is the Pacific Crest Trail. A 20-minute drive and you're at the Columbia River, the world destination for kiteboarding and windsurfing. Water equipment can be rented from nearby businesses or you can book a whitewater rafting trip on the White Salmon River. An hour from the property to the West is Portland, Oregon if you are in the mood for some city life, and about 40 minutes to the east is Hood River, Oregon, a gorgeous old town with tons of charm, shopping, breweries, and great restaurants. Drive the Fruit Loop or do a winery tour. The closest town, Stevenson, Washington is also home to adorable shops, great local restaurants, and access to the Columbia River as well. Also in close proximity are multitudes of amazing waterfalls, Panther Creek Falls and Falls Creek Falls being the two closest. National Forest roads are close by and well maintained. No matter the season there is something to do a short distance from the property. Please, keep in mind that the property is very rugged except for the trails we have provided for our guests to be able to access other parts of the property. We keep it that way not only so we can attract the copious amounts of wildlife that are a joy for our guests to experience, but also to be more environmentally and ecosystem friendly. We are also off grid and as sustainable as possible- no electricity or running water is available, although we provide battery or solar operated lighting, and a container of water for each spot that we will happily refill for you during your stay.

Site 1- Stargazer Tent

Very cool

The site was clean and well furnished. We definitely needed more bedding so it was good that we brought extra. The bedding provided is a very light cotton bed spread and a light fleece blanket. The bathrooms were very clean and host was friendly and quick to respond.

Site 7- Forest View Cabin

beautiful!!

We had a beautiful stay! the cabin was a perfect place to camp for the weekend, especially with the weather getting cooler. it was clean and it was cozy and i could lay in bed and watch the clouds go by for hours. there’s a trail to explore from the campsite and a picnic table to set up at. the goats were so friendly and the bathrooms were so clean! 10/10 recommend

Site 7- Forest View Cabin

Lovely Cabin Stay

I loved the cabin on Tyla’s land. The views were gorgeous, and it felt nice and private. Tyla was a wonderful host too. She’s very communicative, and we loved doing the goat therapy with her and learning all about her farm and animals.

Site 3- NEW! Meadow View Dome

We had a wonderful time at Meadow View Dome. Tyla was a lovely house. The accommodations were thoughtfully designed and very clean. We would love to come back for another visit.

Site 3- NEW! Meadow View Dome

Magical Stay Under the Stars

My family and our doggo stayed at the Meadow Dome, and it was great! As we were falling asleep in the dome, we saw a few shooting stars through the top window—it was truly magical. We also enjoyed swimming at the nearby swimming hole and exploring a few trails in the area. We had a wonderful stay, and Tyla is a fantastic host.

Site 7- Forest View Cabin

So much potential...

The cabin itself is pretty nice and secluded. Unfortunately, similar to previous reviews there were signs of mice. In my case there was a pretty obvious smell and saw some droppings. This made the cabin much less inviting to what it could be. Also, around the cabin is pretty of exposed dirt. Might get muddy when it is raining.
