Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape! Just 90 minutes from either Portland or Seattle, this cozy glamping site is located on 220 secluded acres of private wilderness along the Chehalis River. Sleep in a cozy queen-size bed! There's propane heat, power, WIFI, and a lovely stone firepit. Come relax, hike, and explore! This wilderness campsite is located down a 2-mile gravel logging road which is steep and bumpy in a few places! Four-wheel drive is recommended in the wettest part of the winter, and please drive carefully any time of the year in whatever vehicle you bring. As a guest, you are free to access any part of the 220-acre property except other campsites (there is currently only one). This listing is located on The Riverbend Preserve, a private nature park, so there is no hunting, fishing, or foraging. Please do not discharge any firearms during your stay. The forest to the west of the Preserve is Washington State land, and on occasion locals go up into the hills to target shoot. In the unlikely event that this happens during your stay, don't be alarmed; the British are *not* coming. This land is a nature preserve with lots of wildlife. You're welcome to bring your pet, but keep small animals close to you as there are coyotes and predatory birds in abundance. Black bears and mountain lions also live in the hills, so please always be cautious while hiking and exploring. If you use AT-T, Verizon, T-Mobile, US Cellular, or most major carriers you can expect good cell service. Single use or small cellular carriers may have intermittent signal or no signal at all after you leave the City of Chehalis behind. Most important of all, relax and enjoy your stay in this incredibly peaceful and secluded valley. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints!

⭐️ RATED 10/10 ON vrbo ⭐️ Welcome to The Shack—a 548 sq ft portal to a slower frequency, set on .36 acres just minutes from the Pacific. Inside, things get groovy. The space is compact but dialed with bold color, vintage touches, and just enough weirdness to keep it interesting. It’s the kind of place where time stretches a bit, plans dissolve, and suddenly you’re three games deep at the pool table wondering what day it is. Out back, the energy shifts. A detached guest house doubles as a quiet little library—your personal hideaway for reading, napping, or disappearing into your own head for a while. It’s a softer space to balance the buzz, and a favorite for slow mornings and late-night wind-downs. What you’ll find: ● Pool table for late-night tournaments and questionable trick shots ● Detached guest house library (read, nap, repeat) ● Easy access to the beach ● 36 acres to stretch out and breathe ● A psychedelic, one-of-a-kind interior
