The Gypsy Caravan is an English bow-ledged design built in Port Townsend Washington in 1996. I used it as a traveling artist/storyteller/environmental educator as I toured the the western part of the United States from the Mexican border to the Yukon. The last 10 years it has been my guest space. Over the last year I have expanded it's livability with porch, shower, bathhouse and outdoor kitchen. It is a special and magical space with it’ own a private yardFreya's Gypsy Caravan is located in a well landscaped private corner of my large third acre city lot. It has it's own path through the trees from the road to the Caravan. Because of the lush plantings it is mostly hidden from the rest of the property and has it's own yard.  The Caravan is an authentic model of an English bow-ledged caravan and was a traveling home and stage when I traveled as storyteller/artist/environmental educator for 15 years. The Caravan itself has a double bed, desk/counter, two cushioned bench seats and a small sink with hot & cold water. It has electricity, heat and Wifi. There is a covered porch that has an outdoor kitchen with small fridge, hot plate , toaster oven and grill.  At the end of the porch is a small bath house with an modern composting toilet, sink with hot & cold water as well. Just outside, the bath house is a private outdoor shower. Robes are provided. The Caravan sits nestled in a private back corner and has a small orchard, clumps of bamboo plus lots of native hedges. There are tables and lawn chairs to hang out in and a small fire pit, with wood for an evenings campfire. Tea, coffee, cream are provided and there is fruit, yogurt and granola to get you started your first morning. Check out is 11 am

Perfect spot!
The caravan was beautiful and we were greeted by a Prince name Django, his hospitality was splendid and he even provided some therapeutic cuddles. The atmosphere was lovely and the host was kind enough to leave cream for coffee and some yogurt! Overall a beautiful spot making for a nice get away, thank you!

warm and inviting.
This was a nice, quiet, private backyard vibe with cozy and comfortable accommodations. The caravan was warm and inviting on a moderate September evening. The outside shower with hot water was invigorating in the cool of morning. I loved my stay.

So peaceful. Just what I needed. The caravan was so beautiful & comfy. The outdoor shower was very pretty. I would love to have one at my house! The outdoor kitchen was super helpful. There was tea & coffee and a kettle. The fridge had yogurt & there were bananas. And everyday I got a visit from Prince Django (the sweetest kitty). What a relaxing stay. I can’t wait to come back!

Charmed and Cozy
This was the most charming little spot. Immensely private and quiet but only a 5 minute drive to town. The grove of trees and bamboo leads you to the darling caravan and numerous outdoor seating areas. The outdoor shower was refreshing, the little bathroom clean and well appointed. We did not cook food, but made coffee in the morning with the beans and half and half generously supplied by the host. The bed was comfy inside and although it was a chilly night, we stayed very warm under the covers. The inside and outside of the caravan are even prettier in person with hand painted little scenes adorning it. Django the cat was such a dear and provided some wonderful pet therapy on our laps while we sat outside with some wine. One of the most unique hipcamp/airbnb experiences I have had and would recommend it again.
