Coffee Creek is an intentional community and working farm on the north side of Centralia, Washington. While our 11 acres feels very secluded, we are just 3 miles from historic downtown and 10 minutes from the freeway and shopping. An accessible oasis! There is a park with swimming, fishing and hiking along the Skookumchuck river within a mile of the farm, in addition to the natural beauty found right here at home. We enjoy bird watching, exploring our forest, and relaxing around a fire when we aren't working on the farm. Seasonal Strawberries and pastured poultry are our specialties, and we offer a wide variety of veggies and fruits. Farm fresh eggs are almost always available and we have organic meats to purchase and grill.

I loved the location, it was decently close to the main city but still was extremely tranquil! I’ll definitely be coming back, our host was so sweet and we had a friendly kitty stay with us in the cabin.

This spot was just what I needed. A reasonably priced quiet spot to sleep near Olympia. Thanks Jimbo! Found the spot without trouble. Relatively flat and big enough for my rig. Might be tight for anything much larger.

Lezli has thought of everything you could possibly need or want at her amazing place. We felt so pampered and relaxed during our stay. The place is immaculate and everywhere you turn is an unexpected surprise in the special details she has thought of. The view is spectacular, beds comfortable and cozy, shower was great, everyone loved the snack bar, and the outdoor kitchen makes preparing meals easy and was so well stocked. It was hard to leave and we can’t wait to return!

We absolutely loved staying at this campsite. It was private, peaceful, and close enough to everything we wanted to do. The campsite itself is STUNNING and the lack of light pollution made for some great stargazing as well. I totally recommend this place!

Really enjoyed staying at the Land Sanctuary of Erosia with its quiet, secluded sites and plentiful firewood. We had one issue with another camper occupying our site when we arrived but the host was quick to provide a pleasing solution. I would go back again in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends.

Looking at the 1st pad with the fire pit from the 2nd pad which is for the Community Site 1.

We felt like we'd found a little hidden secret. Sarah's campsite is extremely private. Even though there were other campers we felt completely secluded. It is a stunning 10 minute drive to Shelton The firewood was plentiful. The sites are quite small. We had a 6 person tent that just fit the site.

Need somewhere to relax in the quiet to revamp before hitting the road again? Grabbing a spot in the field is perfect. Beautiful surroundings to wake up to. Deer and rabbits playing. Easy to find with the owners directions. Great price.

I cannot recommend this place enough! We chose this cabin for a romantic and restorative get away, and it did not disappoint. We had three adults but the property could have easily and comfortably accommodated a family or extended family; there were so many private sleeping places. There were so many amenities and unexpected touches not in the listing, things like supplies for rock painting, adult coloring books, and a very diverse library. We were able to take advantage of the sauna, outdoor shower, fire pit, and outdoor kitchen as well as the indoor wood burning stove. Everything was SPOTLESS; huge shout out to the housekeeping service. Even the outdoor couches were clean somehow! Lezli, the host, was a radiantly warm and friendly person. You can tell she built this property from a place of deep love and care, with her own big family in mind. She was wonderful about guiding us up the logging road and showing us how everything worked. It is very remote and the drive is unpaved, but your reward is complete peace and quiet. She was always quick to respond before snd during our stay. Lezli, thank you so much for sharing your magical land with us for the weekend. We can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely lovely. Lezli thinks of everything that you might need to have a relaxing, peaceful break from the city. Views are beautiful -- especially the one from the sauna -- and the grounds are maintained with an eye for native plant life and preservation of the forest.
