The property we named GAEA (the old Greek spelling of Mother Earth) was first seen in a vision. Historically, Deep Creek Canyon was a winter encampment for the Spokane Indians, whose ancestral lands surround us. We feel the healing spirit of the land, in partnership and stewardship. We gather community for Solstice & Equinox celebrations, bringing people together to honor the changing seasons. Our original house was one of the first in the canyon, in the early 1940's. There’s a map that leads you to hidden features, like the gypsy fortune-telling tea house, a fairy mound at the base of a huge fir tree, a yoga platform, and a Buddha bench for contemplating or conversation.

#1. A forest glade
We loved our time at Jane’s place. We had both site #1 and #2 booked for our large group and they were both fantastic. Between the two sites, there are a total of two wooden platforms for tents, a large tipi that 4 of us comfortably slept in (although it could probably fit up to 5-6 people), and we found one or two additional flat areas that were adequate for setting up tents. Do note, the entire property is on a slight hill, and Jane has beautifully created level areas for fires, picnic tables, etc, but there are only a couple additional “natural” flat areas. The “far-out house” was awesome; very clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Also note, the tipi is not 100% bug proof and the hole in the canvas at the top where all the wooden poles come together does allow rain in. We stayed in the tipi multiple nights and had absolutely no problem though. We only noticed mosquitos at our campsite (not inside the tipi) for about an hour or so one evening, besides that the entire area was pretty bug-less, as we had a gentle breeze up on the hill most of the time. A few of us had intermittent, unstable, low-bar signal on our phones up at the tipi site. It’s about a 5-10 min drive out onto a main road for cell service and amenities (convenience stores, etc). Jane was communicative and accommodating. She graciously helped us transport a few large, heavy loads of our camping equipment in her golf cart. We would definitely stay at Jane’s place again in future!

Loved this site!!
Absolutely loved this spot! Jane and her husband were so accommodating and sweet :) their land they have is beautiful and they’ve really made the most of the camp sites they’ve created. The campsite we stayed in came with 1 bundle complimentary wood and fire starters, sticks to roast marshmallows, a cute bench fixed with blankets for cushion, chairs, and best of all, FILTERED WATER spout right at our site. Definitely one of the top places i’ve stayed on hipcamp. This area felt so safe as well, i’d even consider coming back and camping alone! (im 23F) They had such cool things to walk around and look at too. The outhouse they built with a shower/toilet/sink was very nice! Highly recommend!

#1. A forest glade
Campsite was so nice ! The overall layout was very very cool. Private campsites and a great place to do your business 💩 the shower was very cool too outside, one with nature. Yet private. I now understand why she calls it the “farout” house. Cuz it was pretty cool. 5 out of 5 stars deff would poop there again. Jane was very helpful kind and willing to make sure we have the best time we followed the trails to other sites and crossed a cute little bridge and checked out her fairy garden the kids loved it all so much. We will 100% be staying here again.
