Near North Cascades National Park
Within a 60-minute drive from the North Cascades National Park Complex Headquarters and Visitor Information.
Located on Chuckanut Drive, this secluded off-grid cabin offers a rare combination of forest solitude and ocean proximity. A short 5-minute walk uphill leads you into a quiet forested sanctuary on 20 acres of private land. Experience being completely immersed in nature, yet just across the road from the beach and steps away from the interurban trail system that gives access to miles of exploring and trails. Inside the cabin you will find a warm, cozy space designed for rest and simplicity. This is an off-grid cabin that requires a peaceful 5-minute walk uphill through a private forest. We recommend that guests pack their belongings in backpacks to ensure an easeful experience. Off-grid means that there is minimal electricity and no running water. There is an overhead light and a charging port for cell phones. There is fresh filtered spring water from the land for drinking that has been tested and is exceptional. We are delighted to offer this gift from the land. There is a double burner stove-top with a complementary tea, coffee, and miso soup station. You are welcome to bring other varieties of soup. We ask guests not to cook anything else in this space. We provide restaurant and trail recommendations in our welcome binder in the cabin. There is an outhouse with a composting toilet for use. There is hand sanitizer wipes available for hand washing. Need a shower? Larabee State park is located 1 min away by car and there are public showers for use. Or rinse off in ocean! We want the expectations of the experience to be very clear so that guests know what to expect. This is an incredible sanctuary and we strive for simplicity. You have full-use of the cabin and are free to explore the forest. You are welcome to use the interurban trail which allows for hiking, biking, and walking down to the beach. Follow the trail 1.5 miles down to Clayton Beach OR access Wildcat Cove across the street (we recommend driving there). Access Fragrance Lake Trail from the interurban trail about .5 miles away. We are immersed amongst incredible trails on the Chuckanut Mountain. Mountain bike? We are smack dab in the middle of mountain bike heaven. We are also located 7 minutes from downtown Fairhaven where you can enjoy phenomenal food and shopping.Located on Chuckanut Drive, this secluded off-grid cabin offers a rare combination of forest solitude and ocean proximity.

A little oasis in the woods
Chuckanut Mountain Forest Retreat
Such a lovely stay among the trees and near Larrabee. Pack with care given the trek in through the forest to the cabin from parking spot. Warm and comfortable. A beautiful getaway. Hope to return soon.
