Near North Cascades National Park

Within a 60-minute drive from the North Cascades National Park Complex Headquarters and Visitor Information.

Drive down this shaded two-track road through the forest, cross the bridge over Maple Creek, and emerge into a meadow surrounded by woods. A hand-crafted tiny house is on your right, and a camping area is ahead of you, where you may choose the spot you like for your tent or rig. To get there: In Maple Falls turn Left on Silver Lake Road. In 2 miles, turn right onto Independence Lane, then shortly after, at the T, turn right again onto Full Moon Way. After the second house on the left, keep going a short distance, following the Maple Creek Meadow signs, turning Left onto the good two-track road to the Meadow. It's about 800 feet, (passing a small building where water is available at a hydrant). The road crosses a bridge over the Creek, and leads into the clearing. You will see the tiny house on your right, with its woodshed, and, looking to the left, an accessory building (The Tool Shed), where the composting toilet is located, along with a place to hang your sun shower (provided). If you are renting the Tiny House, you my park directly behind it. There are two picnic tables which may be used for cooking, eating, and washing dishes. The open meadow has room for two or three tent and camper sites. Just upstream from the bridge is a beaver pond, the beavers often busy though seldom seen. There is a trail to the pond, which is a good place to view bird life and hear frogs sing. The vegetation includes many large Sitka Spruce, Red Cedar, and Bigleaf Maple trees with their common understory plants, which now include trilliums, bleeding heart, and the less-loved stinging nettles. Two miles north from my place, on Silver Lake Road, is Silver Lake Park, a lovely large County park that offers swimming, fishing, trails, and small boat rentals. Two miles to the south is the community of Maple Falls, with its own trail network as well as shopping for groceries, hardware, treats for your pet, local art, and as of this writing, a food truck. Maple Falls is the second to the last town heading east on Mount Baker Highway, which ends at Artist Point in the heart of the mountains. Many hiking trails are to be found in the area along the highway. Maple Falls Visitor Center is a good place to get info on the endless attractions available.

Entire Site

Tiny home · Sleeps 12

The entire site is perfect for a gathering of friends and family. As well as the handcrafted Tiny House, there is a campground with space for several tents or camping vehicles, two picnic tables, an enclosure with composting toilet and place for a sunshower. The tiny house has room for 3 sleepers, a tiny woodstove, a 3-burner propane cooktop, and drawers and closets for storage. It has its own tiny bathroom with composting toilet and shower stall. There is no running water, but everything is set up for convenience. Please bring your sleeping bags. A full size mattress in the loft and a cushioned settee in the downstairs provide space for 3 sleepers. The rest of the 2-acre property is mostly flat with several places to park a van or truck camper, and/or set up a tent. The toilet (composting) and shower area are in a separate room at the back of the little building known as the Tool Shed. The small front porch of the Tool Shed is a comfy place to sit and watch the afternoon. I have cleared a few spaces among the trees around the border of the clearing where you can tuck in a tent or park your camper. There are no hookups, but water is available in jugs, which can be filled at a hydrant at the small storage building where you drove in the gate. Two--soon three--picnic tables are on the site. There's also a hammock, and a patch of wild strawberries that are tiny and sweet and ripen in June.

This is a tiny house that can accommodate 2 or 3 people. There is a sleeping loft with full size mattress and a settee below. . There's a 3-burner propane cooktop, a little bathroom with composting toilet and a shower stall in which to use a sun-shower. (the water can be heated if the sun isn't hot enough). There's a smalll drop-leaf table, closets and drawers to stow your things, a stained glass window and a tiny wood-burning stove for warmth. There's no electricity or running water, but several portable solar lights can be used when it's dark. Potable water is available in 5 gallon containers on site, and those can be refilled at the beginning of the driveway near the open gate. In addition to the sleeping loft, there is a storage loft. The same ladder can access either one. A front porch is nice to sit on in the afternoon sun. 2 miles to the north is Silver Lake Park, a county park with a large lake where you can swim, hike, and rent small boats and paddle boards. 2 miles to the south is the village of Maple Falls, for groceries, local crafts, and information about hiking and exploring the Mt. Baker area. Additional people in your party can camp in the Meadow. There is room for about 4 camping vehicles (van or pickup size) and tents. The camping guests have their own facilities--a bathroom with composting toilet and sun shower place, in the back of the building called The Tool Shed. The Tool Shed has a front porch too, a nice place to sit and watch the day go by.
