We are a peaceful, private, forested 6 acers that is 6 minutes to a secluded neighborhood beach with big mountain views and only 8 minutes to Alder Lake State Park. Our hill-side location offers treetop views, an off-grid cabin, wood fired sauna, and soon to include select areas for tent camping. We are just 15 minutes to Elbe's Whiskey Train. 30 minutes to Mt. Rainier National Park. 20 minutes to the grocery store in town that has cool restaurants and a great crystal shop. Local hikes are close, include gravel, paths, and waterfalls. Our property IS off-grid and collects rain for water and solar for electricity. We do not have WiFi but do have cell service. Potable water is provided in small quantities at each site. Fires are subject to local burn bans and property provided materials. All areas are walk-in and include wagons to transport any gear.The Hillside Off-grid Cabin is a private 12'x12' studio room for two perched on a hillside with a private deck and huge views to the NW. Please be aware the cabin is walk in and about 300 feet down a reasonably level trail from the single parking spot provided next to the owners cabin. A wagon or wheel barrow are provided for moving gear. It takes about a minute to walk to from the parking area. The Hillside Off-grid Cabin is furnished with a queen bed, loveseat, coffee table with raising top, a small heater, and a gear/coat rack. It also features a private exterior bathroom with composting toilet and gas heated shower. Outside is a private deck with a bistro table, seating for two, a propane BBQ, and a fire pit (when allowed). The Hillside Off-grid Cabin uses non-potable filtered rain water for washing and bathing but includes a few gallons of filtered drinking water per rental. The cabin also features a 100% solar electrical system that powers lights, a small fridge, induction cook top, kettle, and toaster. Instant coffees, hot chocolate, and some teas are provided along with some sweetener and creamer options. The Hillside Off-grid Cabin does not have WiFi or a TV but there is good cell service generally allowing visitors to create their own hotspot and get online if needed. While staying here you are allowed to explore and access the entire hillside property. Up the hill from the parking area are a few large communal level shady areas to enjoy the views of the lake, cool mountain breezes and general serenity of being in the treetops.

Beautiful remote cabin close to Mount Rainier. Short but beautiful walk to get to the cabin from parking. The views from the porch are incredible. Less than 30 min drive to the park. Highly recommend!

Hillside Off-Grid Cabin

We loved the view and the cozy room. It was a beautiful time of year to be there. Dawson provided some hot cocoa mix and we were able to make some hot cocoa to warm up and play some card games.

Hillside Off-Grid Cabin

I didn't want to leave....

What a lovely space! I seriously can't remember the last time I slept so peacefully! I was really sad I only had one night here, but already planning the next trip to the area so I can stay here again. Peace, quiet, all the nature, and oh my gosh, that shower!! Highly recommend this getaway for anyone needing some quiet downtime. The hosts are very thoughtful in the items provided in the cabin as well as the lighting provided outside, and especially in the instructions provided about the cabin and to get you to the cabin. I can't thank them enough for the incredible space they are sharing with others-- truly a one of a kind stay! Thank you!! Can't wait to go back for another (longer) stay.
