Beyond expectations!
This property is amazing and as other people have said, Lezli thought of everything. Everything we needed was there, and then some. My fiancé and I, my parents, my brother and his girlfriend, and our big German Shepherds all stayed here for three nights. Everyone was comfortable, slept well, was relaxed, and enjoyed their time. The outdoor kitchen was equipped enough for our slightly gourmet (for camping) meals. The rooms are all cozy and very nicely decorated. The battery operated lights and the ability to charge devices was thoughtful and worked so great. We used the outdoor shower each day and, man, what a great addition. There is ample seating all over the property. There is a burn ban so we could not use the sauna or have a wood fire, but the propane fire was all we needed, and now we want one at home! My fiancé and I stayed in the view room, and I could have laid on that bed and gazed at the trees all day. It is so beautiful. The dogs were happy and enjoyed tons of off leash time around the property. I cannot say enough about this place and all of the thoughtful details! We realized too late that there were materials to paint rocks (which is such a cool idea!) We will definitely be back, and next time I’m using that sauna!! Thank you Lezli!

Perfect Retreat & Exceptional Host
My husband and I stayed at Lezli's beautiful off-grid cabin on 5 acres in the Olympic National Forest, and it was the perfect getaway for his birthday. We were seeking peace and serenity, and this place truly delivered. Despite being off-grid, the solar battery packs provided kept our devices charged and the string lights on as much as we needed throughout our four-day stay. The wildlife was abundant, and while we didn’t encounter any bears or cougars, the provided bear spray offered peace of mind. Lezli is an exceptional host—welcoming, flexible, and accommodating, clearly passionate about sharing her stunning space with others. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience and are already planning our next visit, possibly with friends, as there are multiple tiny-house cabins on the property for additional guests. The listing is accurate and thorough, so make sure to read it carefully before booking. Our dog also loved the tranquil setting, and we enjoyed nearby activities like rock hounding and exploring the charming town of Hoodsport. We highly recommend this retreat for anyone looking to unwind in nature.

Pampered paradise
Had such a great time at this retreat! Lezli is the world’s greatest host. If you want a less busy park with great swimming, highly recommended Lake Kokanee division 9 spot.

The "St. Helens" A-frame w/ a view
Lezli's A-frames and cabins are so beautiful, surrounded by forest and with a lovely view. My sister and I had a wonderful stay - everything we needed was provided for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend if you are interested in a quiet, peaceful getaway. My sister and I drove into the Olympic National Park for hiking on all three days. Two days we hiked close by and the third day we drove up to Port Angeles (about 2 1/2 hours) and saw the sights up there. We had an amazing time!

Amenities for days!
We had such a fantastic time! The kings cottage was perfect for a 2 couple stay (you could probably do 3 couples if one pair doesn’t mind sleeping in a double bed). If you work with Lezli to book the A-frames, you could have a big crew at the site easy-peasy. Lezli has the space completely stocked with everything you need for camping and more. Lights, head lamps, towels, face masks, firewood, chairs (indoor and outdoor seating), cushions, coffee, tea, dishes, cozy blankets, spices, trash cans, hand washing station, some light snacks just in case, bird seed (treats for the squirrels and salamanders too), activities from knitting to rock painting to board games to discs for the local disc golf course— she has thought of everything! All you need to bring is yourself, clothes, some extra drinking water, mosquito repellent, and food. We could have easily spent our entire time relaxing at the site. It was nice to have separate buildings for each couple so we didn’t have to worry about snoring waking up each other up (and they were really sound proof). Lezli was so wonderful to accommodate us with a late check out. The view is unbelievable and you can see it from inside the sauna. The photos really don’t do it justice. There is much love put into every detail. Each cabin feels unique but cohesive. Serene and quiet and no neighbors to worry about when you’re laughing over a late night smore’s session. if you’re thinking about booking here do it! We hope to come back next year!
