5 acres feels much bigger because it is surrounded on 3 sides by state land. Neighbors will never build next door. This is off grid, composting out house; private and quiet. Two tiny cabins available. Shower cabin with sink. We have no intermittent power or WIFI. Nearest town is 5 miles away, so come prepared. No RV's bigger than a van or class b (truck W/camper ok) because There's a steep part of the one-way driveway from the main road at first and it is a blind corner and steep for about 200 '. Listen first then gun the engine. You might want to get out and and see what you're up against. When it's wet. it's slick. Ps, my camry makes it fine, but no low cars advised. For RV's No hook ups. $30 per night. No sewage) A community fire pit and lots of wood can be found. We need help burning it, when no fire ban is in effect. A propane cook stove, fire ring and covered outdoor kitchen Prep space is available. Lots of birds and wildlife. We are close to Dabob bay but it is not immediately accessible. This is a great base for hikers who need some comforts before hiking the great Olympic Mountains! Forage for wild herbs and berries. Go on a fishing trip in many great rivers and lakes and salt water in the sound. A million frogs croak at spring and summer! Black bears won't bother you, if you see one. They're shy, leave them be. Coyotes howl at night. Cougars are not unheard of. It's pretty wild here! Walk our trails, and soon with plant identifiers and information stations. Find what Hood Canal has to offer!

It was really nice to have drinkable water available, as well as a shower and handwashing sink. The little cabin was cozy, and had screened windows to allow for fresh air at night. It’s not quite camping and not quite glamping! If you want the comfort of a building and less work setting up, but still want to feel like you’re camping, this is the place.

The directions are confusing. Another couple came in late Sat after looking for the place for a long time like we did. The address online says 1024 Carl Johnson Road. If you look for the Sign saying Thistledew on the right (next driveway after 1022 but not the one marked 1024 on the left past the actual place you’re looking for) you’re there. After driving 10 min away to get service and messaging the host, her response was fast, within 10 min. The whole place is actually really well set up. The BlackBerry cabin we were in was complete lined in the inside with cedar planks. The place smelled great. The shower cabin, composting toilet outhouse, communal kitchen setup, firepit were all well laid out. Found out if you walk up the hill you can get phone service and data. Outside of the initial confusion finding the place, it’s really awesome!! My girls want to come back sometime in the future and stay longer.

Rustic Charm with Glamping Comfort

This cabin offered the perfect blend of rustic charm and glamping comfort. The interior had a cozy, woodsy feel, while the amenities like the propane heater and LED lanterns made for a truly comfortable stay. The hosts were also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which added to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing getaway in nature.
