Laughing Leaf Cottage in Washington
Host Jonathon Powell says:
Escape to a peaceful off-grid retreat designed for two. Our charming 1926 cottage sits on the plateau of Woodpecker Hill, offering a quiet and private getaway surrounded by forest, open sky, and the gentle rhythms of our small farm.
Wake to soft sunrise light and the sounds of peacocks and goats greeting the day. Enjoy your morning coffee or tea on the patio overlooking the vegetable garden, then spend the day relaxing, exploring nearby towns, or simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.
Inside the cottage you’ll find a cozy queen bed, small table, coffee bar, and board games—perfect for a quiet evening together. When the air turns cool, curl up beside the indoor propane fireplace, creating a warm and intimate space for chilly Northwest nights.
Step outside to your private patio at the forest’s edge where you can play outdoor games, toss horseshoes, or gather around your private campfire while watching stunning sunsets over the Olympic Mountains. Our covered patio ensures you can still enjoy the outdoors even if the weather turns.
This is a simple, unplugged experience designed to help you slow down and reconnect.
