Forest Farmstead

The Forest Farmstead yurt is a DREAM. If you like the feel of public cabins/huts - think MTTA huts and WA fire lookouts- this is perfect for you. It was raining almost all weekend so we mostly stayed inside the yurt and played lots of games, cooked hot pot, and celebrated a birthday. When it was sunny, we explored the property, picked fruit from the orchard, said hi to the chickens, and enjoyed the view of golden misty hillsides. The wood stove + ample wood supply kept the yurt toasty warm, as did the electric blankets and lots of linens. The beds were comfy, and we fit 17 total overnight with most people on sleeping pads/bags on the wood floors. The yurt had a broom and vacuum - useful for keeping things tidy as people came in and out in the rain. Lots of drinking water. The composting outhouse had lighting and warm water for handwashing. Terry is super communicative, friendly, and helpful. Thanks Terry and Erin for sharing your yurt and forest with us!

The yurt was a great place to stay while we visited the North Cascades this weekend! Centrally located, the yurt offered an elevated camping experience - nestled into the woods on a private farm with plenty of beautiful natural surroundings. The yurt came with everything we needed: a wood stove for heating, a small kitchen area with a sink and water dispenser, a mini fridge & freezer, cookware, utensils, a gas stove, a large dining table, 3 beds with lots of blankets (+heated blankets), and room dividers for changing/privacy. We did not use the media corner but there were plenty of board games and books as well. The site also came with two parking spots and access to an outhouse with a composting toilet (+ locking door and light) and a bathroom with a hot shower + towels & a sink (also locking + light). This was so convenient after long days of hiking! The owner was very friendly, we talked with him a couple times. Overall I would recommend this site if you’re looking for an elevated camping experience. We had to keep ourselves warm at night with the wood stove, which added a beautiful ambiance and felt like we were really camping minus the elements. I would recommend bringing some fire starter kits and a lighter. I would also rec bringing your own plates and utensils to avoid doing the dishes at the end. The navigation instructions were accurate and the owners were super responsive to our messages. It was a great experience and we would definitely do it again!

Loved staying in the yurt - the space is humble but comfortable while having everything you need to make a basic meal. The property and surrounding area are beautiful with plenty to keep you busy.
