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.

Moss Haven

42mi from Tacoma · 1 site · Lodging
Private off-grid small cabin and tent site with views of the water and mountains. The cabin can sleep up to four.
Nestled in a grove of gnarled, moss-draped maples and cedars, our humble cabin overlooks a quiet saltwater bay. Its location offers the perfect blend of forest solitude and coastal serenity. Inside the cabin, you’ll find a toasty wood stove, a queen bed, and large bay windows where you can watch the water shimmer with the ebb and flow of the tides or see the sunset paint the sky, reflecting off the glassy surface of the bay.
The only sounds are the cry of an eagle, the gentle lapping of the water, and the soft rustle of wind through the surrounding woods. A large deck attached to the cabin creates an idyllic retreat that feels suspended in time.
Located near Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest, just five minutes from the town of Quilcene.

It also includes a kitchenette and we welcome you to use any of the kitchen/cookware and appliances.

Mary and Lloyd truly have such a wonderful property and were incredible hosts! The stay was cozy, beautiful and most importantly dreamy. This was the perfect locations for an engagement trip for my fiancé and I. The views and the incredible outdoor tub was the icing on top. We will absolutely be back again to enjoy this magical location.

Our stay was even more magical than we could have imagined. The drive up felt like we were in Jurassic park (in the best way possible) and the views were insane. The cabin was cozy (heater included!) and the toilet and bath were extremely clean. Mary and Lloyd thought of all the details from a cute handwashing station to bath amenities (towels, soap, bath salts). We loved getting to know them and their sweet pup Leo. Thank you for the great stay! When we come back to the PNW we will definitely look to rebook.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Ridgeline Retreat
Its like a scavenger hunt to make it to the cabin which was so much fun! The road was very passable for our low-profile sedan. The property and view is absolutely stunning!
The tiny cabin felt plenty roomy and the decor was quaint and the bed was so comfy. We thoroughly enjoyed a glass of wine and the sunset on the AMAZING cliff's-edge patio before taking a nice log soak next to the most beautiful view you'll ever see! Its like a dream. A bucket-list experience, for sure! We woke up to a rain and lightning storm rolling through and it was great laying in bed and watching it through the glass door.
The hosts, Mary and Lloyd, were beyond kind helpful and hospitable. They even brought us coffee and homemade muffins in the morning!
The outhouse was clean amd smelled great. Everything seems brand new. The park was so close but we wish we had more time just to enjoy the cabin, bathtub, and landscape. We even asked about coming back the next weekend but they were booked. Multiple friends have asked us where the cabin is and how to book; the pics are that amazing!
Please love and respect this place. Its so special and even as it blows up in popularity, I hope it stays the slice of absolute heaven it is now🩷

This place is fantastic and I couldn’t recommend the experience enough! The quiet and seclusion make it a perfect place to relax and getaway. The location is close to the national park for good days hiking, and far enough where you can easily get away from all the crowds and end the day soaking in a sunset view with perfect outdoor secluded bath. In addition to all that, the hosts are the nicest and most hospitable people ever. Great location, great property, and great people!

1 night at Secluded Ridgeline Retreat
Mary and Lloyd (and their dog Leo 🐶) were such welcoming hosts! Their property was spectacular and the set up allows for the most gorgeous views from the deck of the tiny house and bath house. The bed is very comfortable and everything was clean and very well maintained. They have WiFi, power, outdoor path lighting, and a selection of hiking guidebooks for visitors. If you’re going to stay here, be sure to make time to enjoy the tub at sunset or under the starry sky. It’s quite an experience!
The road up the mountain is well maintained, but steep. It could be a challenge if it’s wet, but we had no trouble with our rented camper van.
We will definitely stay here again if we ever end up in the area!

Jenel and Khohay were very nice. The farm looks amazing! The communal area is super cute and cozy and the camp spot on the field with the animals was even and soft. I love the concept of self-sustainability that they follow. They had free farm fresh eggs and produce and were reachable at any minute while we were there. Very supportive and friendly communication. Thank you for having us!

We had such a great time camping at Khohay's farm! Our two boys absolutely loved every minute of it. We woke up to deer walking by, enjoyed farm fresh eggs for breakfast and visited all the friendly farm animals (pig, chickens, sheep, goats, dogs)! It was a dream for animal-loving kids. Having bikes really made getting around the property more fun and efficient.
The campsite was peaceful and private, with a beautiful sunset view over the large meadow. The "cantina" (communal kitchen/restroom) had everything we needed. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home, like family. They really open up their entire property for your use and were so engaging with the kids.
We’ll definitely be back —this spot is a gem!

Jenel and Khohay are great hosts. Jenel was very responsive to my messages and provided a lot of helpful local advice when I needed it. She even shared some recommendation lists, which made me feel that she truly cared. On the other hand, Khohay warmly introduced me to his farm after I arrived. The place feels like it’s full of little corners to explore and enjoy. Unfortunately, I arrived a bit late and had to leave early the next morning for a hike, so I didn’t have enough time to fully enjoy it.
I really appreciated how they challenged the typical idea of a campground. They offer a space where campers can freely choose where to set up their tents, while still providing full access to all the facilities like the kitchen and bathroom etc. I honestly didn’t expect that, but it made my stay feel very thoughtful and complete. I had a wonderful night(not to mention, the sunset over the fields, with the golden light streaming in, was absolutely beautiful!).
If you’re looking for a campsite close to Mt. Rainier and you’re open to a bit of adventure, this is a great spot. I’d definitely recommend it to all fellow campers!

We had a great stay at Kohays farm.
Kohay and Jenel are legends and were very friendly, accomodating and inviting.
The farm is really cool and there is plenty to checkout, it’s a great location if you’re looking to head to the Sunrise side of Rainier.
