**House rules:**

- Please use the waterfront with caution and at your own risk. Swimming and kayaking are both much better at mid- to high tide. The network of sloughs within the island is fun to explore and offers good wildlife viewing, but the way can be confusing. Bring a detailed map, GPS or chart of the area. There are recycling centers for cardboard, paper, and cans nearby on the island, and glass recycling on the way to Longview. We're happy to direct you to those locations. We have no garbage service.

> This is a lovely location. It is quiet, the view is bliss, the host is super helpful and welcoming. The warm shower was a definite little luxury. There is easy access to launch a kayak and it is a 10 minute trip into town if you need anything.

> This site is on a tiny little island and was beautiful! We had a very private camping area with a wonderful view of the field and farm area and a gorgeous sunset. Lisa and Holly were very welcoming and kind.

> The camping spot is a mowed yard within view of the house and road but the hosts were gracious and let us drive to the far back of the field which was very private. We saw deer, a number of different birds including a kite, and heard an owl. The stars were incredible.
