Located in Naches Heights among orchards and vineyards, Cowiche Canyon and hiking trails adjacent. (Please note: Although we are a permaculture farm, we are surrounded by both conventional and organic agriculture.) Close to White Pass and the Tieton, Naches and Yakima rivers. The cabin (Cathaus) is part of our local agricultural history. It was built by my grandfather to house migrant workers during apple picking season and that is how it was used until the late 1980s. It is not fancy, but it is cozy. Filled with books from local authors (Raymond Carver, Justice William O'Douglas, etc) and on local topics including tribal and labor history. Goats, alpacas, chickens on site. Free range cats. Wineries next door. Brewery closeby. Close to town but peaceful and quiet. Host is a bioregional herbalist and can offer advice for seasonal foraging options. You are likely to see us working in the shop and on the grounds. We will also do our best to give you your privacy. Composting toilet, refrigerator, cold potable water sink available outdoors.

Purchased in 2013 after a fire came through the area. We've spent the last 7 years regenerating the land, planting trees, building our house and collecting places for people to rest their heads. Masabaje is the first two letters of each of our parents names (Margaret, Sandy, Barry, Jerry). We offer five listings - a converted schoolbus, an Airstream, retro trailer, truck bed glamp pod and tent spot. Meet Birdy, a semi-converted Blue Bird school bus with a comfortable queen mattress, couch, two recliners, dry kitchen, cooking utensils, and camp stove. There is access to a toilet, shower and sink (clean up area) in back room of main house (about a 4 minute walk). Birdy sits at "Top Pond", farthest from the house in a super quiet and private spot. You must bring your own bedding or sleeping bags, pillows, etc. (available here for an additional fee). There is no electricity available in Birdy. Devices can be charged up at the house. There is also no heater in Birdy, overnight temperatures in September and October can dip down into the mid-low 40's or lower. Meet Tin Man, we found him after he had been in an accident. We bandaged him up and he became the first place to sleep when we bought our empty land. He has a comfortable double mattress, couch, chair, kitchen, cooking utensils, and two burner stove. There is access to a toilet, shower and sink (clean up area) in back room of main house (about a 30 second walk). Tin Man sits on our driveway round-a-bout and is closest to the house. You must bring your own bedding or sleeping bags, pillows, etc. (available here for an additional fee). Ellensburg is known for its wind and our land is just down from a wind farm. We cannot control the wind, but Birdy sits in a pretty wind protected oasis. Masabaje is a clothing optional space. We are less than 2 hours from Seattle, 1 hour to Yakima wine country, 40 minutes to Vantage, 40 minutes to Leavenworth, 50 minutes to Snoqualmie Pass, 15 minutes to Ellensburg, 25 minutes to Roslyn, 25 minutes to Yakima River Canyon for floating and hiking, and so much more!

Weekend Trip to Alder Grove Retreat

This place is phenomenal and exceptionally well thought out. Dawson was super helpful and responsive. The deck view was stunning and the place had everything we needed to make an amazing meal. This area is also beautiful and the drive to and from is unreal. Hope to be back soon.

This spot is a gem. Very cozy. A great place to hunker down and rest. The cabin was really intimate and comfy. The shower was unique and lovely! A perfect place to unplug for a weekend!

What a lovely space to unwind! The view is relaxing, fire at dusk, its a breath of fresh air. Everything you could need is supplied, we appreciated the little local guide binder that was provided. And the toilet is not scary to use at all.

Exceeded my expectations! This place was charming, cozy, and comfortable. The inside of the yurt is even more pleasant than you'd think. The themes of spirituality were also very appreciated. Definitely coming back the next chance I get!

3 nights at The Village at Rainier

This was a great spot for exploring Mt Rainier National Park, especially in the cooler weather. We loved soaking after snowshoeing and hiking and the space to cook and relax. Janet was very helpful and responsive with her communication.

Weekend Trip to Alder Grove Retreat

Amazing, absolutely amazing land that we stayed on. Dawson (camp host) was excellent in communicating with us if we had any questions or concerns. We had a wonderful stay away from the world we live in today. The cabin we stayed in was maintained very well, upkeep on the trail leading to the cabin was top notch. We began our stay in wet and cold conditions. The trail had fresh wood chips to counter the slippery conditions. The parking area was freshly laid with a bed of thick gravel, this made parking and unloading our belongings safe for us. We recommend this stay to anyone looking for paradise in the mountains. To note, we stayed nice and warm throughout the night which was pleasant. We plan to stay many times when the weather is warmer. Cameron

Weekend Trip to The Khohay Farm

The Khohay farm was an incredible place to visit. Jenel and Khohay were both very accomodating made made our stay a delight. They had wonderful reccomendations for places near by and made sure my partner and I had everything we needed. Anytime I stay in the area, I'll keep their place in mind.

Weekend Trip to The Khohay Farm

Jenel and Khohay were very communicative hosts! It’s very clear they put a lot of love and character into their property. We loved the farm fresh eggs for breakfast in the morning and would highly recommend the sauna as an add on! We enjoyed waking up to the rooster “roostering”, the sheep walking the path near the tiny house, and feeding the goats! The deck was lovely for making s’mores and we appreciated having the outdoor fireplace. The layout of the tiny home was really comfortable and cozy. The puppies were a huge highlight of our trip and were absolute sweethearts as well and it was nice to love on them in the communal bunkhouse.

A wonderful spot! This has become our go to for a weekend away. Jim and Elona and so welcoming, the space is beautiful, there are two cats wondering around the property, and I can’t say enough about the bathtub. Check it out, it’s amazing.

Weekend Trip to Wildfern Grove

An incredible stay! Our yurt was so cozy and warm despite the 26° lows! The community space was like an oasis after a week of backpacking, and the cedar hot tub was just icing on top of the whole experience. I could not recommend this spot more.

Our pup literally avoiding coming to the car to go home.

This cabin is peaceful. It had everything we needed for comfort. It is maintained with thoughtfulness. The cabin is clean and stocked with supplies making it easy to care for while there. The weather was very cold (26 to 38 degrees) as expected and we stayed toasty, The roads are well maintained and the mountain spectacular. We will come back when we can spend more time outside enjoying the grounds and exploring. This was a fabulous place to retreat and spend time with friends. Our dog was so happy, she is part husky and was in her element outside. She loved it. We all did.

Weekend Trip to Rainier Explorer|MRNP|Ski|Hottub

We loved staying at the Rainier Explorer cabin! Overall we found the cabin to be comfortable, warm, and have all of the amenities we could need. I would highly recommend it to a friend who wanted to visit Mt. Rainier National Park, Packwood, or go ski White Pass. The cabin was well stocked and clean. The heater and electric fireplace kept use perfectly warm over the cold winter nights. The queen bed in the primary bedroom was really comfortable. The hot tub is just what we needed after a long day skiing. The cabin is a 5 min drive from Packwood, WA where you can find all you need to stock up for your stay and recover after a long hike/ski.

Lies and Deception / The Worst Experience Ever

Tent ·

Big Creek Campground

I'm an avid camper, and the experience I had at this campground with the host was ABSOLUTELY THE WORST ever. We arrived at the campground early & carefully selected a spot. I took a photo of both the envelope with payment and the receipt clipped at the site. After exploring the national park, we arrived at the campground at around 9pm. To our surprise, there was a group of people who took our campsite! When I checked the pole where I clipped the receipt, it was GONE & REPLACED by someone else's!! When I talked to those people who took our campsite, there were already drunk and were at the verge of becoming hostile. But they told us that the host "allowed" them to take the spot. We went to the host and he said (1) we never paid and that (2) there was no receipt clipped at the site. When I told him that that wasn't true, he proceeded to tell me that the information I wrote on the clip let him know that we were checking out today. So, for a second, I thought maybe I wrote either the # of nights spent or check-out date incorrectly. But then, I remembered I took pictures of both the envelope and the receipt!! I showed the photos to him, then, of course, he could not lie his way out of this. We did not want to spend another second there, so we demanded a refund, and "MIRACULOUSLY", the envelope (still glued) with our payment was found in his RV. I'm reporting the host to the US Forest Service.

La Wis Wis Campground

Great campground with lots of river spots , and a great short hike to the crystal clear waters of the blue pool swimming hole if you can handle the cold water. But on a hot day you do get used to it. I’d go back again for sure

Fantastic day trip with family

There are several trails for 4x4 vehicles, mountain biking or hiking to enjoy. Not only is there a gorgeous river running through to picnic near with fast moving falls, it has a high peak looking over miles and several Oregon and Washington peaks from Gumboot Mountain peak.

Gov. Mineral Springs Cabin

February 2023 The fireplace is propane. When we called the ranger station they told us it was wood burning, I can confirm that it is definitely propane. There’s still wood stocked at the cabin, but there’s literally no place to burn wood.

Iron Creek Campground

A beautiful campground with clean vault toilet and potable water. There is path from our campsite that join the bigger loop around the campground and access to the river. We were there after the July 4th holiday so it was quiet. We chose this campground as a base to explore the East side of Mount St Helens. It takes about an hour to reach the hiking trails and viewpoints for St Helens. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed this location. Lake was low in October, but still lots of fish biting. Campsites are hilly and most don't have a ton of flat ground real estate so plan accordingly.

Paradise Creek Campground

Just camped here for three nights. It's great if you don't mind the HORRENDOUSLY LOUD noise of the logging trucks going by at all times of the day especially in the early morning when you might be trying to sleep. Not the best way to enjoy the peacefulness of nature.

Paradise Creek Campground

Beautiful campground and in a central location to get to nice hikes and attractions. The portable water is not suitable for drinking so bring your own. We pumped out some and it looked like watered down apple juice. We used our water filter to filter it, the water was clear for a day, but tasted like iron. It also starting getting yellow again after a day. When we cleaned out our filters at home they were full of brown gunk. We would stay there again and bring our own water.

Iron Creek Campground

Great campground with lots of privacy. It is somewhat primitive, with only vault toilets and no electricity or hookups, but the grounds are well maintained and each campsite has a fire ring. We really enjoyed our long weekend here. The hiking loop around the campground and along the river was enjoyable and easy enough for kiddos. There are some beautiful old growth trees to be seen, and the river is gorgeous.

Nice little clean campground. 8 miles up the road is the "Oklahoma" Campground which is maintained by the same group. No bugs. Great hiking on the "Monte Carlo Trail No. 52. Steep elevation on the hike but a beautiful view of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams.

Twin Falls Campground

Twin Falls is a great campground. It’s beautiful and clean. I’ve been twice and there are very few people who come here. Be prepared to be cold!!! I have camped here in July and August and it was really cold the entire time on both occasions. Bring multiple layers and lots of warm and dry clothes, as if you get wet your clothes may not dry in time to wear them again. Bring extra toilet paper, sanitizer, and BABY WIPES!!! The toilet is literally on top of a hole over a big septic tank. It doesn’t flush. I had the unfortunate experience of splash back so MAKE SURE you have a way to clean yourself should that happen!!! You have to bring everything you need to this campground and Pack out or burn your garbage.

Great, large but secluded spot. Camped at E 6 along the right along the river. Fire ban was in place so I assume late night vibe might be different had they been allowed. Pretty basic amenities, the bathrooms look newer. Its out there though bring everything you think you would need.

If driving in on SW 503, buy firewood (and anything else you need) at the Eagle Cliff Camp Store in Northwoods. It's your last chance before you get to Lower Falls.

Lower Falls Campground

Awesome campground out of the way from everything. The road there is a little rough if you don't have a vehicle built for it. Pit toilets and pump water. If you can bring plenty of water and wood. The falls will be awesome once the water level goes down. The campsites vary in size and some are only for The.

Lower Falls Group Camp

Camped here over Memorial Day weekend and WOW! It was everything we hoped for and more. The sites were large and had quite a bit of tree covering so it made it feel like no one was around! A quick walk and we were right by lower falls which was RAGING because of the fantastic winter that we have had. One thing to note, DO NOT follow google's directions as the address is incorrect, make sure to follow the coordinates! For sure will plan to go back!

The yellow jackets (aka: meat bees) are crazy dense at certain times of year. They go to bed at night, but they're seriously unpleasant dining companions. Those who are allergic should totally avoid this place.
