Our old growth temperate rain forest homestead begins the wild and uncut wilderness that extends 40 miles to the Canadian boarder and beyond just as far. Before us it was part of Cascadian Farm (the organic food brand which still operates a lovely ice cream, esspresso, and berry stand adjacent to us), and before that it was one of the first farms this deep into the Cascade Range supplying food for the crews building the dams. We offer both a yurt and tree house.  You will be on our small farm/homestead that is backed up to the Mount Baker National Forest with undisturbed forest all north all the way to the Canadian border to the north, Baker lake to the north west, and to the North Cascades National park to the North east. The Skagit River flows to the south of us. If you like freezing cold glacier water, we'll provide you with a map where you can walk down to the river to cool off at a safe swimming hole. Guests love staying here "Such a glorious and relaxed stay. The yurt really was a palace, it was so spacious and had many thoughtful amenities. We hiked on the mountain, forded a river and played with Hiland cows, all within walking distance of the yurt. I was worried that it would be cold but we were toasty and were even able to cook full course meals. Terry and Erin were the perfect hosts, responsive and yet non-instrusive. Thank you so much for letting us have this experience!"This 30 foot diameter yurt has over 700 square feet of space, a mini kitchen, wood stove, table and chairs, a couch, and a mini library with books, magazines, and games. Three 'bedrooms', two with double beds and one with a single including a roll out trundle bed. Including the couch it sleeps seven; bring sleeping pads and the sky's the limit!

For those drawn to the animals we currently have a flock of chickens and a farm cat! Doing some infrastructure work to accommodate a new herd next spring

The yurt offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for those looking to escape into nature while still enjoying some comforts of home. Guests frequently mention the warmth and comfort provided by the wood stove and the abundance of blankets, creating a snug and peaceful environment. The views of the nearby mountains and the surrounding nature add to the tranquility of the stay. However, a few guests noted the need for minor repairs and updates, such as cleaning the dome on top of the yurt or addressing mildew smells.
