It's simple: an eco-friendly, off-the-grid cabin in the forest on a private lake. About 70 min from downtown Seattle and an hour or less to all kinds of adventuring in the central Cascade Mountains. A great place for a digital detox! There's a wood stove, campfire and one can enjoy fishing (catch & release), swimming, hiking, bird-watching, grilling and more right in the backyard. The cabin is a great romantic getaway, place to unplug & recharge and/or have a weekend hang for a small group! The space Please note: Due to extreme drought conditions, we are not permitting use of the fire pit for recreational fires beginning August 1, 2023 until further notice. Thank you for understanding. The cozy cabin has most of the amenities of home while still being off-the-grid and remote. Lights are powered by solar panels, heat is provided by a wood stove and (seasonally) there is plenty of firewood in the shed. There is hot water, a toilet, shower, mini refrigerator, and 2-burner stove top - all are powered by propane. There is a large gas grille in the backyard. There is no oven. Guests must pack out their own garbage. Sleeping: Upstairs has a Queen-sized bed and a couch with plenty of space for an extra air mattress should you choose to bring one. Downstairs has an extremely comfy (no, really!) full-sized futon. For overflow there is a lake-front tent pad which fits a large, two-person or small 4-person tent. The property also has 2 row boats (and life vests) which are yours to use at your own risk. The property has an abundance of wildlife, resident and migratory birds and the lake has bass and trout. Fishing is catch and release only. ** PLEASE NOTE ** There is little to no cell phone reception and limited electricity provided by solar energy. The nearest LTE/4G phone signal is about 3-5 min down the dirt road. Some guests have spotty service but most just go to "Airplane Mode" relax and unplug. Nearby drives/attractions: -40 mins to Duvall (super cute town with lots of shops, cafes, breweries, etc) -25 mins to Monroe (all the amenities of a mid-sized town: Walmart, Fred Meyer) -20 mins to Sultan (cool new brewery, liquor store and convenience store here) -30 mins to Wallace Falls (great hike with amazing views!) -35 mins to Index (quaint mountain town that you have to see! Brewery and distillery too) -50 mins to Stevens Pass (skiing/snowboarding, snowshoeing) -1 hour, 45 mins to Leavenworth Guest access The entire cabin is yours to use, including upper and lower decks, stone patio, fire pit, gas grille, tent pad, floating dock and 2 (two) rowboats. Swimming, floating and boating is at your own risk. Other things to note The cabin is truly 'off the grid' - so that means no powered electrical outlets, and lights are powered by solar power. This property has little to no cell service and no internet service. We like it this way. It really provides an unplugged, relaxing and restorative atmosphere. As such, this is a tranquil property not suited for rowdy parties. There are fresh linens and towels, soaps and shampoo + conditioner. The kitchenette has everything you'll need: pots and pans, spices, cooking oil, a percolator and french press for coffee, a kettle for hot water and a 10-gallon purified drinking water dispenser with extra bottles. The stairs in the cabin are at a steeper pitch than your "normal" household stairs. Please be aware of this and use caution. We provide candles, headlamps and flashlights in case the solar battery runs down (please do not accidentally leave lights on!!) Charge your phones/devices before you arrive. Set phones to airplane mode to conserve your battery. Due to the remote and rustic nature of this cabin, this may not the best place for infants and young children. Feel free to contact us with questions to make sure this is the right getaway for your group. Lastly, this truly is a rustic cabin in the woods, subject to both nature's wrath and glory. Heavy rains, wind, muddy conditions, and the occasional frozen pipes are a reality. While we can't control forces of nature, we will always do what we can to make sure your stay is enjoyable. SUMMER GUESTS PLEASE NOTE: Due to increasing risk of forest fires in western Washington, restrictions on camp fires in the summer months are common. During these times the fire pit will be closed down and camp fires will be prohibited. WINTER GUESTS PLEASE NOTE: This is a remote property and water pipes can/will freeze in the winter. There is plenty of drinking water in the cabin but showers and faucets could freeze in the coldest months.
