What a magical place! Even in constant rain I felt comfortable. I have a truck top tent that just was my place to sleep. The rest of the time, I hiked to the hidden waterfall, took a bath outdoors, warmed up in a sauna and played with my pup in the rain. Chris and his husband are great hosts and made sure I arrived safely since it was so muddy. Which brings me to this side note-if it’s raining you gotta have 4x4 for mud but I threw mine in 4 low and slowly made my way out. I was kinda bummed I wasn’t stuck there.

What a wonderful place to get away! Chris has built such a lovely collection of campsites and orchards on his property. We loved the sauna, and were in it constantly during our winter trip. The piano by the kitchen is also a really fun touch. I would recommend bringing your own spices, oils, and staples if you plan to cook, but the kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, and tools. Drive carefully on the last leg of road! I could do it in a prius but it was tricky. Would totally go back!

The sky! The sauna! The shower!

Ok, so we blithely ignored the info about the drive up the road and suggestions to arrive in daylight (all doable just a bit more challenging for a quick night in and out on a fast roadtrip). BUT that’s on us. The directions were clear. The info solid. And the place! Amazing, peaceful, beautiful, serene. Plus the amenities. What luxury to have the hot shower and sauna, the plumbed washbasin. The toilet. The love put into this place shows. We just didn’t have enough time there which again is on us. Next visit more time to soak it all in.
