We provide a small refrigerator, a 2 burner stove with pots and pans for light cooking, coffee making supplies (reusable keurig pods or pour over coffee along with creamers and sugars), wine openers, dishes, and more. We have 2 tables where you can enjoy meals and games either indoors or outdoors. You will be one block away from Highland Park which has a tennis court and baseball field. Less than a mile north, you can explore the West Duwamish Greenbelt Trails. Only two blocks south of the property is Westcrest Park that hosts a community garden, a dog park, and small trails in their greenbelt. You’re also walking distance to downtown White Center, which has a microbrewery, a roller skating rink, a gay bar, a plant store, and plenty of coffee shops and restaurants.

Mountain Wild Retreat

16. Mountain Wild Retreat

18mi from Elk Plain · 2 sites · Lodging · Alder, WA
Tucked away beneath a cathedral of whispering evergreens, this hidden woodland retreat feels like stepping into a storybook. A winding path leads you to our sites; a rustic cabin along with a vintage camper van framed by forest shadows and sunlight. We invite you to linger beneath the trees, swaying gently as the ever-present evening breeze carries the scent of pine and earth. Walk the paths lined with towering strong firs and swaying alders, protected by sword ferns and salmon berries, climbing and winding around 3 acres of wild mountain space. As dusk settles, the forest comes alive with the songs of crickets and owls, while the lanterns cast a warm golden glow, guiding you back to your woodland sanctuary. Perfect for dreamers, stargazers, and anyone seeking a quiet escape, this retreat offers the magic of solitude without sacrificing comfort—a place where time slows down, and the simple beauty of nature takes center stage. 🌲✨ Outhouse bathroom and sinks are communal. All sites feature a sheltered cook nook perfect for outdoor meals or morning coffee. Each cook nook is stocked with clean potable water, butane burner with butane, plates(paper & ceramic), teapot, French press, cooking and eating utensils(plastic & metal), mugs, and basic cooking pans. Even though your retreat with us lets you unplug, Eatonville is close enough to conveniences and wild explorations to make your stay both comfortable and full of possibilities. The town offers charming local shops, art galleries, family‑style cafes, and a beloved cider‑house & live music venue at Mill Haus Cider Co. For adventures, you won’t be lacking. Northwest Trek Wildlife Park spans over 700+ acres, where tram rides and free‑roam tours let you watch bison, elk, wolves, and more in natural settings. The nearby Little Mashel Falls Trail offers a moderately challenging but beautiful hike with rich forest, cascading falls, and mossy surroundings. Ohop Lake gives you peaceful water access—great for fishing, boating, or just paddling quietly. Alder Lake is close too, bringing lakeside camping and scenic paddling. And if you gaze east on a clear day, Mount Rainier looms majestically, offering its alpine meadows, glacier-fed trails, and unforgettable sunrise or sunset vistas!
