We are open! This magical, 40-acre, cultivated ecosystem, will wrap around you and leave you enchanted. Enjoy this peaceful, country retreat, as a place to rest and reconnect with the earth and yourself. This is a great place to stop for the night, but one day might not be enough to meander the many paths, drink tea harvested from the herb garden, sit on a bench talking to ancient Maple trees, walk the stone labyrinth, wander the sacred Grove, and camp under the stars. There's so much to enjoy here, from the fragrant rose gardens to the orchards and sheep meadows. Spend the morning sipping tea with a book in the greenhouse, an afternoon wandering the many wooded trails, preparing dinner with vegetables grown from the garden, and enjoying the evening watching the moon and stars come up from the observatory platform. You could take a guided tour of the land and animals, or join one of the many workshops hosted here, such as learning to spin yarn from our herd of Icelandic sheep or take an introduction class to Permaculture. Bring your knitting, friends, or just a favorite book, and spend a few days in this tranquil destination, as this land has something to offer everyone. Please NOTE: This is a working farm, we have animals, dirt, sticks, bugs, poop, and lots of opportunities to "connect" with Nature. All of our amenities are shared spaces, designed to foster community. You will find signs posted around the property with clear communication. All of our lodgings are off-grid with no electricity or running water. Water, electricity, and WIFI are available in the shared kitchen, garden, cafe, and lounging areas. Please bring battery-operated lights, bedding, and a pillow, unless otherwise noted. Amenities include: shower house, bathhouse, large semi-commercial kitchen, library, cafe, fiber studio, yarn shop, plenty of outdoor seating, safe potable water, 2 regularly maintained portable toilets, hand washing station, 2 charcoal/wood barbeques Check-in is 4-8 pm Contact us to inquire about using the land for weddings, retreats, and other gatherings!

A Sanctuary Filled With Nourishment
Hanna
Kateen and Co. are a source of inspiration for anyone desiring to create harmony with the land. The space is carefully curated to hold simple visitors, permaculturists, nature-lovers, and anyone just needing a reset amongst the blooming garden and sacred forest. There are numerous places to find quiet and connection within, or to venture about the garden and play with the many creatures (two-legged, four-legged, winged). It was the perfect place to get work done as a mountain man entrepreneur, and to learn from the many passers-by. I recommend this sanctuary of a place to anyone desiring to learn more about themselves, the land, and our relationship of reciprocity to it.

Kateen had a really great setup at her farm. My kids loved over exploring the trails around the place and completing the mindfulness labyrinths on the property. The amenities were great from the shower house, to the communal kitchen and lounge areas. We were even able to take in the evening stars on the moon deck.

I was extremely impressed with Kateen's land and really appreciated the initial tour which was very helpful. The property offers something for everyone and everything was so well thought out intentional. The night was extremely quiet and I slept well within the serenity of the surrounding beauty. I would definitely return and will recommend this property to friends and family in the future.

Sustainable Communal Glamping
Bumblebee
Excellent for eco-friendly thinkers + animal lovers alike! This site is very sustainable and Earth conscious. Gorgeous views from Sunrise to Sunset. The dogs are so freaking cute and great with babies/kids! They really thought of everything to provide the best “glamping” experience. Hot shower, stove burners, electricity, and potable well water. Kateen is an organized host. Consider this your best choice if you want to connect with nature and people. This is a VERY social experience. Not the most private space if that is what you’re looking for. Great for people looking to connect with other glampers. As expected for such a beautiful property, there are lots of posted set rules for everyone. One that was tough to get around was no camp stoves, candles, or fire of any kind near your site. Cooking is done in one central shared area away from camping sites. This is perfect if you want to take the load off of packing your car to the brim with camping gear. Not ideal if you’re looking for more independence and “going off grid.” Overall, lovely experience and everything was made easy. I would still visit again and share this with friends. Worth spending a day to explore 40 acres of beautiful country.

Kateen has such a peaceful space. So many amazing paths to explore and a beautiful garden. The tent pad was super comfy with fresh bedding, making the ground nice and soft. The only note that I have is 2/3 of the nights there were dogs barking in the distance pretty much all night at another property making it a bit hard to sleep (I'm a light sleeper).

The farm was really cute and amazing. Our 9 month old daughter loved getting to see all the animals running around, especially the really friendly dogs. Kateen was an amazing host. Very responsive and gave a really lovely tour of the farm and explaining different aspects of the business. It was really cool to get a chance to talk to her in more detail about them. The you pick vegetables was a great touch even in May! The communal parts of the farm were really a nice touch. It was great getting to meet the other campers over food. You felt connected without being on top of each other. Would definitely come again!

Kateen’s space was truly such a reflective experience. I was only there for a night, yet in that amount of time, I was enveloped by the gratuitous atmosphere she and her team have curated. As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe and welcomed to be who I was and connect with my own being throughout my short amount of time. The space is well maintained, the signs around the site are mindful, and the amenities were truly magical. I walked away with a new sense of what it means to be sustainable as I travel as well as appreciate every moment.

I would highly recommend a visit to Compass Rose. This was a beautiful, fun, peaceful space to stay, with plenty to explore and enjoy on site. It felt like a sanctuary, with lots of wonderful places to retreat to for quiet solitude. At the same time, it also drew fun and interesting guests and provided lovely shared spaces for connecting. All the best of camping combined with amenities you’d find in a great hostel. Kateen herself was an incredible host: very welcoming, inspiring, and fun to learn from.

Sweet spot with many opportunities to perch on a bench or hammock and bask in the glory of the natural landscape. The communal kitchen is spotless and well organized. The shower house is super charming. We spent a delightful morning sipping coffee and tea in the adorable little glass house amidst the colorful flower garden. Felt very cozy in the round house lounging in bed under the down comforter gazing up at the mesmerizing patterned ceiling.

If you like communal-style arrangements with a strong sense of restorative and connection with the land, this place is great. I enjoyed the dried herbs for mixing custom tea blends, community gathering spaces, meandering trail through the forest and wetlands, and incredible flower garden and orchard. The vintage camper itself was clean and comfortable, with good mattress and pillows. Kateen is also a great host, meeting us and providing a small tour at the start. Portable toilets are not my favorite, but they were well-kept, with a hand-washing sink with soap available. I could see coming back and staying for more than one night and would recommend to others.

Cutest Stay!
Round House
My partner and I were looking for a place to stay near Port Townsend, a friend who stayed there recommended us to check it out, and I am so glad we did! We planned on tent/car camping but ended up staying in the Round House cabin, and it was just what we needed! We came in late at night, I never felt more safe walking solo on a property than at the Compass Rose Farm. All of it was absolutely majestic! The gardens, the charming structures, and we just loved being greeted by all the farm animals in the morning. Highly recommend staying on the property, even if you were just needing to sleep in your car!
