Near North Cascades National Park

Within a 30-minute drive from the North Cascades National Park Wilderness Information Center.

Our old growth temperate rain forest homestead begins the wild and uncut wilderness that extends 40 miles to the Canadian boarder and beyond just as far. Before us it was part of Cascadian Farm (the organic food brand which still operates a lovely ice cream, esspresso, and berry stand adjacent to us), and before that it was one of the first farms this deep into the Cascade Range supplying food for the crews building the dams. We offer both a yurt and tree house. You will be on our small farm/homestead that is backed up to the Mount Baker National Forest with undisturbed forest all north all the way to the Canadian border to the north, Baker lake to the north west, and to the North Cascades National park to the North east. The Skagit River flows to the south of us. If you like freezing cold glacier water, we'll provide you with a map where you can walk down to the river to cool off at a safe swimming hole. Guests love staying here "Such a glorious and relaxed stay. The yurt really was a palace, it was so spacious and had many thoughtful amenities. We hiked on the mountain, forded a river and played with Hiland cows, all within walking distance of the yurt. I was worried that it would be cold but we were toasty and were even able to cook full course meals. Terry and Erin were the perfect hosts, responsive and yet non-instrusive. Thank you so much for letting us have this experience!"This 30 foot diameter yurt has over 700 square feet of space, a mini kitchen, wood stove, table and chairs, a couch, and a mini library with books, magazines, and games. Three 'bedrooms' (separated by sheets) two with double beds and one with a single including a roll out trundle bed. Including the couch it sleeps seven; bring sleeping pads and the sky's the limit!

Forest Yurt/Palace

What a lovely place to stay to visit North Cascades. The yurt is very big and there are clean towels and a hot shower after a nice hike in the park. The site on Hipcamp is not update anymore. The animals are gone and the treehouse is gone but the rest is the same.

Forest Yurt/Palace

Cozy stay

I loved staying here! There was a really cozy ambiance in the rainstorms during our stay. I was pleased that there was electricity since I didn’t know whether there would be. Unfortunately, the treehouse was out of order. We did not see our host at all, but were well taken care of. There was enough water and firewood, as well as a nice bathhouse and outhouse only a quick jog away. There were about 6-7 adult sized sleeping spots, and that worked well for our group. The beds were really cozy and most of our group slept in each day. I liked being able to see the sky at night through the little window on the roof, which did leak, but hardly enough to be any problem, maybe a few drops, and most stuck to the wall and dried without issue. It’s different from the photos online. I think some are from 2017. There’s no urinal anymore, for starters. There were lots of cobwebs, but they were abandoned and weren’t bothering anyone. The door hates to stay closed and irked me to no end as I’d hear it click open when I’d walk away. However, the stove was so nice and the firewood was nicely seasoned and caught fire quickly. It reminded me of my wood stove at home. Overall, a really great stay especially considering the unsavory weather.

Forest Yurt/Palace

Cozy yurt with a view!

Yurt life is amazing. The outhouse was very nice with hot water to wash your hands. We made homemade pizzas and went on the walk around the property and down to the river. We even got a visit from a friendly cat. Despite it raining the night we stayed we really enjoyed the coziness of the space.

We loved the spacious yurt and the kids loved the rope swing. Terry was very helpful and friendly. The farm has great views and is very peaceful and relaxing. We really enjoyed our time.

Forest self lifting Treehouse

The treehouse was pretty neat, though I’m not sure if the self-lifting part worked. I followed the instructions, but didn’t have any luck, and the hosts didn’t respond to my message about it, nor did they respond to another message I sent asking which water was potable. I did fit in the treehouse diagonally, and there was a mosquito net, though a bit awkward to use from that position. The cat on the site was sweet.

Forest self lifting Treehouse

A private treehouse stay!

I loved the concept of the treehouse and how you could hoist yourself up into the trees. The treehouse had complete privacy from the hosts house and other hipcampers. Terry was friendly and greeted us upon arrival. The shower house and compostable toilet were great features.
