Located about an hour from Olympia, Tacoma and the Olympic National Forest.

Within 15 minutes are 3 places to launch boats, kayaks, etc., along with some beach access trails. Many hiking opportunities in the area. Berry picking and fresh apples in the summer on the property.

Vintage caravan · Sleeps 2 · 1 bedroom · 2 beds · 1 toilet

After a long day out enjoying the outdoors, the 24' vintage RV offers a perfect resting area, a base camp as you will. It has electricity, 2 twin beds and the dinette folds down to a larger full size bed. It is situated in the rear corner of the property and is private. Nestled amongst ferns, firs and wild birds, you can also relax in a provided hammock. Behind the trailer, find a short trail to another sitting area beneath a large cedar. A firepit with wood provided is allowable as long as there isn't a burn ban. Bring fresh picked oysters and clams from our many of our local area farms to throw on the camps BBQ. There is also a grassy area (shared by my dogs), a picnic table, a private shower room, and an outhouse. There is space enough to pitch a tent, bring a boat, jet skis etc.., A tidbit about me. I restore and sell vintage trailers. I consider my place a unique place to conect with outdoors and rejuvenate yourself. Some quick noteables-behind the trailer, find a short trail to another sitting space. Just on the other side of the fence, find my beehives. If you sit calmly out of their direct entry, you can safely watch them. I usually have lemon balm for tea or some other form of fresh herbs near cooking area, you are welcome to use in your cooking. The island boasts a seasonal array of berries. If you are a mushroom forager, let's talk chanterells. Animals on property. I have a flock of ducks. If you bring a dog, the ducks will be safely in another area. If you don't bring a pet, they will be running around. I have 2 australian shepherds. They are very friendly and love all forms of life. They are trained to stay in yard. I have 2 cats. One keeps to herself, the other will present herself if she hears a male voice. There is a map of island highlighting places to visit. There is a Saturday Farmers Market at our grange 10-12pm. Nearest restaurant is Spencer Lake bar and grill. Nearest best stocked little store is Spencer Lake store and gas. You can rent kayaks from me for additional fee as there are 2 lakes within 15 minutes. I will even haul them to/from.

Airstream Style Vintage Trailer

A very cute, cozy, and clean stay! Angie was very accommodating and the all amenities were very clean and tidy. Love the vintage vibe of the trailer and lots of land for our dog to stretch his legs on. Located on the owner's property but very private. Separate outdoor toilet which was incredibly clean, rustic outdoor space equipped with seating, BBQ etc. My only suggestion is to use fragrance-free detergent on the linens (it was very strong but indicated they were very clean!). Thanks Angie!

Airstream Style Vintage Trailer

I loved staying in the vintage camper and my pup loved roaming Angie’s beautiful property. It’s was a slice of what our life could be like in our own vintage camper someday. Easy to arrive and embrace the natural setting. An owl serenaded us in the middle of a quiet and restful night.

Angie was a fantastic camp host. The trailer hitch is on a quiet piece of the property and has plenty of privacy when you'd like it. The two dogs are adorable and it was just as described in the posting. Very laid back place to relax, loved it a lot.

Such a sweet little gem!

Airstream Style Vintage Trailer

My cousin and I were scrambling to find a perfect meeting spot between where we live and we stumbled upon this sweet little gem! We were greeted with a Angie and a friendly cat and 2 even friendlier pups. The trailer was super cute and the space felt far enough from the main home and neighbors so it was like our own little oasis. The fridge in the trailer kept our food and drinks super cold and we were able to make ourselves a nice dinner with the campfire stove/cooktop. We even pitched a tent and the trees provided the perfect shelter from the rain. Would definitely recommend staying here and popping by Blondie’s for breakfast on your way out of town. Thanks again Angie for the dry firewood and anticipating everything we could have needed!
