Nestled on ten forested acres along the quiet shoreline of Burns Cove at Steamboat Island, this is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature, with yourself, and perhaps your creative spirit. New property discount! Use code TMQVRTGY for 10% off Just 15 minutes from Olympia and close to some of the region’s most beautiful hiking destinations, our land offers the feeling of being far away while still easily accessible. Towering trees, and water views create a setting that feels both grounding and expansive. This is more than a place to stay, it’s a living, breathing healing arts space. At the heart of the property is a stunning 30-foot geodesic dome where we host somatic yoga classes, sound healings, breathwork, Qi Gong, and community gatherings. Depending on your timing, you may have the opportunity to join an offering or simply enjoy the peaceful energy of the space. We offer two unique stays: The Dream Dome: a 16-foot glamping dome tucked into its own private area, with space nearby for an additional tent if desired. It includes a cozy woodstove, electricity, and an outdoor setup with a propane stove and grill for simple meals under the trees. The Birdhouse: a charming one-room tiny cabin with a covered porch, also equipped with a woodstove and electricity. A perfect perch for quiet mornings and slow evenings. Both units share access to “Alice,” our lovingly renovated vintage trailer just steps away, which includes a kitchen and bathroom. There is also a luxurious outdoor shower for those who enjoy bathing under the trees. This is a place for rest, reflection, and gentle adventure where forest meets water, and something within you has space to unfold.

The Birdhouse forest studio

Booked 1 time

Tiny home · Sleeps 2 · 1 bed · 2 toilets

Tucked among the trees with glimpses of Oyster Bay, the Birdhouse is a cozy tiny house designed for rest, creativity, and a slower pace. This one-room cedar shingle cabin, with its tin roof and skylight, offers a simple and peaceful retreat surrounded by forest and water. Inside, warm cottage-style details create an inviting space to land. White painted wood walls, thoughtfully chosen decor, electricity, and a tiny woodstove make it comfortable year-round while still feeling connected to nature. The skylight brings in soft daylight and a touch of the sky above. Just outside, a covered porch offers a private place to sip coffee, read, or listen to birds moving through the trees. The Birdhouse sits on a shared, forested waterfront property that blends quiet retreat space with occasional creative and healing gatherings. Nearby is a 30 foot event dome where private healing sessions are offered during the week, along with Tuesday evening somatic yoga classes and occasional sound healings, breathwork, and small group events. Most stays are peaceful and low-key, though you may at times hear soft music or gentle activity from the dome. Guests have access to two shared bathroom options: an incinerating toilet located near the dome, and a flushing toilet inside “Alice,” a charming vintage trailer that doubles as a shared bathroom and simple kitchenette space for this unit and one other. There is also a luxury outdoor shower with hot water, offering a refreshing open-air experience. Outdoor amenities include a shared BBQ, hammock, and picnic area, along with your own private porch seating space. Through the trees, Oyster Bay offers subtle, ever-changing views of light, water, and tide. Good to know: The Birdhouse is a rustic, nature-connected stay. While it has electricity and heat, it is a small, simple space. There is no WiFi (cell service and hotspots generally work), and you may encounter the occasional spider or critter.

The Dream Dome

Dome · Sleeps 2 · 1 bed · 2 toilets

A quiet geodesic dome tucked into the forest, designed for rest, comfort, and a deep exhale. The Dream Dome offers a refined glamping experience where modern touches meet the calm, grounding presence of the trees. This 16’ dome feels both open and intimate, with soft, filtered light shifting gently through the canopy above. Inside, a comfortable queen bed invites deep rest, while electricity and a tiny woodstove add warmth and ease in every season. The geometry of the dome creates a sense of spacious calm and an airy yet cocooned retreat that feels quietly removed from the pace of everyday life. Step outside to your private outdoor sitting area, complete with a propane fire pit and grill. Whether you’re enjoying a slow morning coffee, preparing a simple meal, or settling in under the trees at dusk, this space is yours to unwind in. The surrounding forest offers a sense of privacy and immersion, with birdsong, filtered light, and the subtle stillness of the land. The Dream Dome is part of a thoughtfully curated, shared property that blends retreat space with occasional creative and healing gatherings. Nearby, a 30 foot event dome hosts private healing sessions during the week, along with Tuesday evening somatic yoga classes and occasional sound healings, breathwork, and small group events. Most stays remain quiet and spacious, though you may at times hear soft music or gentle activity in the distance. Guests have access to a set of unique and well-designed shared amenities. “Alice,” a charming vintage trailer, serves as a shared bathroom and simple kitchenette space for this unit and one other. Inside, you’ll find a flushing toilet, sink, and indoor shower option. There is also an incinerating toilet located nearby for added convenience. For a more immersive experience, the luxury outdoor shower offers hot water in an open-air setting. Simple, refreshing, and deeply connected to the elements. Additional shared outdoor spaces include a hammock, picnic area, and places to sit or wander beneath the trees. The overall feeling of the land is quiet, spacious, and intentionally paced.
