Hi! Welcome to Custer Family Glamping! We are so glad you are here ;) Our 10-acre property is located in Custer, WA in the Northwest corner of Whatcom County. Custer is an easy 20-minute drive to Bellingham, 10-15 minutes to 2 coastal beaches (Birch Bay and Semiahmoo), and only 10 minutes to Blaine and the Canadian border. We love to host our friends and show people around our beautiful slice of the PNW🌲 We are a big family, so we designed all of our glamping sites to be kid and pet friendly and big enough to fit families of 2-6. A little luxury and ease for the grownups and a magical nature experience for the kids. Kids are allowed to "just be" here. Cellular reception isn't great but no one seems to notice. Not when they are busy building forts, roasting marshmallows and climbing up tree houses. The intention infused into all of our spaces is a Hygge* (pronounced hoo-gah) vibe. *Hygge is a calm, comfortable time with people you love. The absence of frustrations; often enjoyed with warm drinks, cozy blankets and candlelight or a fire.❤️ County Noise Statement: We love living in rural Whatcom County and we know land owners in our area love it too. In fact, their enthusiasm for the great outdoors is so high that sometimes they can generate sounds that will travel throughout the day. These are likely sounds you are not accustomed to hearing in a traditional neighborhood. Distant noises such as: -county shooting range located a few miles away -tractors -mowers & chainsaws -ATV vehicles -barking dogs -farm animals (goat, horses, crowing roosters) -wild animals (early morning bird song and owls at night) -children laughing -adult voices -train horn Evenings are generally very quiet and peaceful as night falls with the exception of holiday weekends as the enthusiasm for owning property in the country may ramp up ;) We tell you all this in order to be fully transparent about noise potential. If the potential for noise and the nearby shooting range will be a damper on your glamping experience, no worries! We totally get it! Our place is probably not the best fit. If you want to bring your kids to a place where they can build a fort, take a break from their screens and build family memories over a campfire, then you will love it here! And we look forward to seeing you soon. In hygge + gratitude, Sarah and Jake

Cozy birthday weekend!

Starrynight Pasture Glamping

We loved our short stay at Sarah and Jake's beautiful glamping site. We drove up from Seattle area for the weekend to celebrate our son's birthday close to nature. We are a family of 4 with 8 and 6 yr olds. The glamping site is as represented in the pics. The fireplace inside with good exhaust system made the inside super cozy and we had loads of fun playing board games inside. The toilets and sinks were well maintained and clean. There was a storm in the night that we stayed and we were well protected and dry inside. We also spent time in the Semiahmoo beach and Birch Bay State Park that are close by. Overall we had a lovely weekend and will definitely do this again.

It rained

Hidden Forest Glamping

The site was cute, and they accommodated my need for some dishes and BBQ tools. Unfortunately it decided to pour down rain most of the time we were there, which lead to a crabby disposition of the children. We had to leave early, but not because of anything on the hosts part. I would return if I felt up to trying to take my kids camping again. 😅

Hidden Forest Glamping

We had a really nice time glamping at Jake and Sarah's place! It was easy to locate, adorable, super clean, and had plenty of privacy. Overall, we found the space quite comfortable for an overnight with 2 kiddos. Everything matched the listed description accurately. We enjoyed the beautiful forest, the covered picnic table, the BBQ area, the awesome fire pit, and easy access to handwashing/restroom. Our kids played happily in the treehouse all evening with new friends from the campsite next door. There was some continuous noise from the nearby shooting range, but nothing loud enough to interfere with our enjoyment of the campsite, and it quieted down well before bedtime. As it got dark, the rain started coming down pretty hard and continued all night, but not to worry- the tent was super cozy and dry inside, with nice warm bedding! The temperature was mild enough that we didn't need to use the wood stove in the tent, but it was sure nice to know that option was available just in case. We would definitely love to visit again!

Hidden Forest Glamping

It was a good stay, and as advertised. Never saw the hosts, pretty easy approach and the spot was a good distance away from the house. Yurts are nice. We did two in a bed, three adults in bags on the ground. Comfortable enough.
