The Windward Forest

For thirty years, the Windward community has been developing its stewardship forest as a home for a variety of sustainability systems using renewable energy systems and cooperative community. Learn more about this land:Our 40-acre campground is adjacent to our main sustainability research center. It is completely isolated from the world at large. Our forest is located in a transitional zone where you'll see Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine growing side by side among century-old oak trees.  From here you can tube the wild Klickitat, hike the alpine slopes of Mt. Adams or windsurf the Columbia. 

Wildheart's seasonal pond is filled with spring water from October to May. 

Wildheart Homestead

Our humble homestead sits on five beautiful acres of combined oak forest and wildflower prairie in a region of Washington state so renowned for its recreational opportunities that it's referred to as "Sportsman's Paradise". We're just getting started here, but have big plans for establishing a self-sustaining intentional community centered around teaching visitors about primitive skills such as hide-tanning, herbalism, wilderness survival, and wildlife tracking; as well as important modern homesteading skills like managing a composting toilet system, growing gardens, setting up alternative power sources, and raising livestock. We have the astounding privilege to live within just 20 minutes of the Columbia River Gorge, world-famous for its numerous fishing, wind-sports, and adventuring opportunities. This is a region famous also for big game hunting (deer, elk, bear, cougar), wild-foraging of edible mushrooms (morels, in particular), wineries, art museums, and more! Located just a 10-minute drive from the heart of Goldendale, Washington, you can enjoy the seclusion of our land while remaining close to restaurants, bars, grocery stores, laundry service, a community pool, mechanics services, and many other amenities. Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent in our beautiful oak grove, or in the heart of our wildflower prairie in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. You'll have easy access to potable water, a composting toilet, and can take advantage of the unique opportunity to learn about primitive skills and the homesteading lifestyle from your hosts, Danny and Sarah. Danny is an herbalist and studies plant medicine extensively, often utilizing materials foraged from the property or from the nearby woods. Upon request, Danny can lead herb walks and foraging talks to interested campers. Sarah is an accomplished survivalist and taxidermy artist, who teaches hide-tanning, skinning, and butchering. She has been featured on national television for her primitive survival skills, and can teach classes on tracking wildlife and tanning animal skins. Let our homestead serve as your home base while you fish, hunt, hike, and explore the stunning Columbia River Gorge!

Opa's Goat Grove

Legend has it that the cabin was a stage coach stop for the US Army.  Our deed is signed in 1899 by then President Benjamin Harrison.  Learn more about this land:This is a cozy little RV, 13 years old yet fairly pristine. Queen bed and main room: fold out 3/4 bed and another pull out to a twin. Small kitchen and small bathroom, a bit larger than that of an airplane. Heat and AC. Parked on our rural property, exceedingly quiet, stones throw from Dry Creek which runs from October to May.  You are two miles from the Columbia River, in the Gorge.  Great hiking, biking, fishing, water sports on the river.  You will be sleeping in our little private park. Old out buildings and log cabin on the property might make you think you are in the old west. Great private place while you enjoy family, friends, and all the Gorge has to offer. No smoking, of anything. $40 non-refundable cleaning deposit.

Nadja's Hideway

Happy New Year! 
We’ll be ready to open up again this spring, so start planning for the 2024 season. Hope you can be our guest this year. 

Play in Hood River during the day, relax in the country at night. We're 6.5 miles up in the hills, called High Prairie, above the sleepy town Lyle.

Enjoy the peace on our 5 acre hideaway, wake up with the chickens - we have a rooster just FYI -

(and yes we sell fresh eggs :). Take a walk to look at Mt. Adams which is just around the corner. Hiking, biking, kite boarding, windsurfing all within a few miles of reach with never ending opportunities to get your exercise. Just ask for tips.

The land has mostly Oak trees where you can take your nap in your hang matt. The place is easy accessible, far away from all but still close to all Gorge attractions during the day. The town has a nice little convenience store, breakfast place and the Sandbar that has good food and some entertainment.

Grocery shopping is best done in Hood River, White Salmon or

The Dalles. Once up here, there isn't much, so come prepared.

The site (loft) is separate from Nadja's house. 

You can see Mt. Rainier from the backyard!!
