Remember your bug spray. We were happy we packed our netted camp kitchen.

Weekend Trip to Valhalla Tree Farm

Beautiful property and easy access to site. Roads are gravel and very well maintained. Water is fantastic and convenient location at all the sites. So quiet with lots of beautiful bird songs. Saw baby ducks, great cranes and several other birds at the pond, so peaceful. Looking forward to our next visit.

Weekend Trip to Grace E.’s Mini Forest Cabins

Had a great stay, but make sure to book in advance, not day of. Amazing property that felt like we were deeper in the woods and mountains. The property was way larger than expected, plenty of room between cabins, with trails running throughout the property. Cabin 4 had two double cots, a pull-out king futon, and a lofted space; six of us were able to fit plenty well. The outhouse was clean and had toilet paper.

Weekend Trip to Grace E.’s Mini Forest Cabins

First of all, I want to say what a wonderful time my sister and I and our 2 dogs had at Grace's cabin !! Grace was so prompt at answering my questions, when we got there she showed us our cabin, ( wow, just perfect!) And explained everything. All was so organized with signs, and so clean! There was a gas fireplace, but didn't need it as it was warm. The futon bed and cot were so comfortable, And there were a couple of lanterns in the cabin. We so enjoyed walking around the property, Then enjoying the evening on the porch of the cabin. This is a most wonderful place, Great host, perfect cabin, so clean, We loved it!!!

1 night at Valhalla Tree Farm

A relaxing retreat in the forest, I took my pup here for our first overnight trip together. She loved exploring all the different ecosystems here: pond, stream, outcropping and lots of woods. The cabin is rustic but solid, I loved relaxing on the deck listening to the sound of the stream. Will definitely be returning soon.

Weekend Trip to Valhalla Tree Farm

This campsite is one of the hidden gems of Washington. The campsite is large and beautiful with everything you could need while camping already set up for you. The outhouse is new and clean, the firepit well kept, and a permanent table with a well crafted shelter. Outside of the campsite itself the land has many beautiful trails and little hideaway spots to relax at and read or do some birding. This is our second time here and we defined plan to come back soon.

Weekend Trip to Valhalla Tree Farm

My kid loved this campsite. It is gated and felt safe with wonder around with my kid even it feels like in a mountain. We brought wakietakie for my kid (there is cellphine signal) and made the lil cliff behind the camp site as his castle for the weekend. You can see the poind from there and it wad pretty. The water inside the campsite made thinga a lot easy. We heard owls and some critters. Outhosue was basic but didn't have smell.

Weekend Trip to Valhalla Tree Farm

I've now stayed at all the sites at Valhalla, and they're all great. Popcorn Pond is meant for campers and RVs, so it doesn't have some of the amenities of the other sites, like a covered shelter or a toilet. But, it's still peaceful and quiet, with a fresh water spigot, table, and a great fire ring. I made a fire and listened to the chorus of frogs in the nearby pond, and took a stroll around the trails on the property. Had a great time!

1 night at Valhalla Tree Farm

What an exceptionally beautiful place- the peace and quiet afforded by this sweet refuge was just what I needed to completely relax and shed my stress. I stayed in the small cabin, which was simple but comfortable, with a sink and outhouse, and a wonderful gas stove that kept the cabin so toasty warm...There are no outlets available so keep that in mind and be prepared if you need cell phone access, I found being off grid exceptionally freeing. The host included a summary of the short trails available on the massive property and was responsive to questions and issues...This was definitely a great find and highly recommend- don't forget to bring blankets and a towel for the outdoor shower!

1 night at Cedar River Retreat

Nice little cabin close to Seattle but away from the hustle. My wife and I decided on the day of our stay to get away from the city. Booking was smooth and the area was well maintained. The trail is nearby and is probably best for bikers as it’s good for bike riding as opposed to scenic walking views. This cabin was comfortable and there is a creek behind it with chirping frogs. Read the fine print and don’t forget to bring your own bedding. We had a great night away and all was smooth and we enjoyed our day/night.

Weekend Trip to Valhalla Tree Farm

Dave's land was super great, the site felt very private and natural but well-kept. Dave was very responsive and provided lots of information about short trails around the property to explore. Would definitely come again!

Weekend Trip to Cedar River Retreat

Weekend Trip to Simple Roots Ranch

Pure bliss. Was so appreciative of the care that Sharon and her husband take with their land. I felt welcomed to explore the land and was happy to do so! The futon was comfortable and space heater helped keep me warm on a wet Spring night. Kitchen was just well appointed enough! I especially appreciated all of the outdoor covered areas so I could stay dry and still enjoy. Was super fun to meet the dogs too. Total sweethearts. Thank you so much!! I will be back.

4 nights at Olympic Wanderer~Creekside~HotTub

My wife, 2 sons (6 &5) and I had a lovely week staying at the Wanderlust Cabin. The pictures don’t do the property justice! The creek running through the property, the proper fire pit, all the games in the cabin, and of course, the proximity to Hood Canal and Olympic National Park made our stay a blast. Our kids have already asked if we can come back, and we will!

Weekend Trip to Olympic Wanderer~Creekside~HotTub

My partner, friends, and I had a great time at the Olympic Wanderer cabin! There's plenty of sleeping room, a cozy kitchen, ping pong table, hot tub, beautiful little stream in the back yard, a big fire pit, and a TV with tons of dvds to finish the night with. Lots of fun outdoors activities! We brought our rescue dog on his first camping trip here and he had a great time.

Weekend Trip to Simple Roots Ranch

What an awesome stay, Sharon and Dave were lovely. We enjoyed staying on their beautiful property, not only was it stunning but you could really see the care they put into every aspect of their offering. Would recommend highly!

Weekend Trip to Grace E.’s Mini Forest Cabins

Second time visiting this peaceful property. Kids and dog loved the wide open spaces. Cabin is cozy. We really appreciated the heater and grill. Well appointed for an off the grid cabin. Highly recommend

2 nights at Valhalla Tree Farm

We stayed at the cabin and additional tent site and had a wonderful time. The scenery here seems like something out of someone’s imagination. It rained quite a bit during our stay but we still had a wonderful time. The forest was so pretty and the sun would hit the nearby mountain at certain points during the day and it appeared as if nature was lighting it up! We loved it here and will definitely be returning in the future!

3 nights at Forest Glen Cabin

I stayed five days! Luckily I was able to extend. What a wonderful experience with so many fun amenities. Bed was very comfortable, lots of cooking utensils, full stove and microwave. Lots of games and a great place to throw an axe or do a cold plunge. So many great trails and parks nearby …. access to a private boat launch at Olympic tracts. The communication was above and beyond, thank you so much Michael ! I will most definitely be coming back. *Oh the rain on the roof every night was perfect, not loud, it was so soothing/ calming!

Weekend Trip to Cedar River Retreat

Cedar River Cabin is the very definition of cozy. With a heater, mini-fridge, microwave and bottled water, it was hardly roughing it. Yet the setting is quiet, close to the Cedar River trail and full of birdsong. The mattress was actually comfortable! It’s the perfect spot to escape the sounds and pace of the city and so convenient. I will definitely be back.

Valhalla Tree Farm

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Arlington, WA

Nestled near Arlington, our 75-acre property spans both new and old forest, featuring a salmon-filled creek and a vibrant beaver pond—all set against the dramatic backdrop of a 1,200-foot sheer cliff crowned with old-growth trees. Since its purchase in 1958 as a family retreat, this land has grown into much more than a getaway. It has become a place for relaxation, adventure, and connection with nature—a private forest for family and friends to enjoy. Over the years, the family has embraced forest stewardship and sustainable timber harvesting, while also creating campsites, trails, hosting rock concerts, and even making wine. What began as a simple escape has evolved into something extraordinary: a tree farm that successfully balances nearly every goal a forest landowner could imagine—timber production, wildlife habitat, natural beauty, recreation, and forest resilience. Valhalla embodies all of this with a harmony so seamless, it feels effortless.

Grace E.’s Mini Forest Cabins

12 sites · Lodging12 acres · Arlington, WA

This property is supposedly one of the first homesteads in Jordan Road. This information is based on stories from some old timers my husband had spoken to in the past when he bought this property in 2002. The owner back in the old days sold off parcels and parcels of lands back then. The property is all fenced in, a place where your fur buddy can run free so you don't have to worry of the baby getting lost! Hopefully you'll get a visit from a deer and hear the hooting of the owl. :) You are welcome to check out our goats too if you want (they're in their enclosed space). The surroundings are peaceful and private, you will enjoy exploring the trails all around the 9 acres out of 12 we are sharing. Stroll down the hill to listen to the sounds of the creek and fish ladder. Our campground cabins are about 4.9 miles from the 'Granite Falls Fish Ladder'. Visit this beauty at Mountain Loop Highway if you fancy a little hike. Drive around 7 miles to the 'Lime Kiln Trailhead. The trail is full of amazing views and history. Our place is only about 45 minutes from Seattle. Why not pack your tent and sleeping bags then drive here after work, then leave in the morning. Leave your worries behind.. enjoy nature.
