The property sits on a acre surrounded by undeveloped forest. Huge old century-old cedar stumps litter the surrounding woods and you'll see where loggers in the early 1900's cut into the sides to place their springboards. The trees surrounding the property today are mostly fir and alder. The 16'x20' cabin sits tucked back against the forest, looking out with territorial forest and mountain views of the Cascades. Outside you'll find a firepit with chairs and a picnic table for your enjoyment. Off to the side you'll also find our tidy and clean-smelling outhouse. Inside the cabin you'll be surprised at the roominess and open feel given the cabin's dimensions. A counter with sink hides all of your plates, utensils, pots and pans. An L-shaped dining nook seats 3-4 comfortably. Across the room you'll find wonderful wood-stove for those chilly nights, and a pull-out sofa to relax on. A wide ladder leads up to the sleeping loft where you'll find a double -sized (full) futon bed tucked under the window looking out toward the mountains. Given the cabin's size, it is best-suited for couples - though it is possible to sleep 4 with the pull-out sofa. There is a nice flat tent-site at the cabin as well. Maximum occupancy is 4 guests at the property at any time. Please note, this is an OFF-GRID cabin with NO ELECTRICITY or RUNNING WATER. You're welcome to bring a portable generator to plug into our lighting system. In the Spring/Summer we have a rain barrel that may provide limited water to the sink for washing only, NOT for drinking.Our cabin is located just over an hour from Seattle with easy access in Spring, Summer, and Fall. From November to March there is usually snow on the ground, so the last 200 yards off the main road would only be accessible by snowshoes or by foot. The area is beautiful with lots of trees, greenery, and wildlife. Explore the Forest Service roads nearby, or take one of the many hikes in the area. Fishing can be fantastic on the Skykomish river, or any of it's nearby tributaries. Steven's Pass Ski area is 30 minutes away - great for winter skiing/boarding or mountain biking in the summer! For longer stays, pop over to Leavenworth (1.5 hours east) for a Bavarian-themed experience - don't miss the brats and beer!

Small quiet cabin for 2

Definitely off the beaten path. Nice and quiet for the most part except for the neighbors barking dogs. Cabin was nice and clean would definitely recommend this place for a quiet getaway

Great camping experience!

We loved our stay at the cabin! Place was clean has everything we’d expected and some more. Nearby nature is awesome, there is a creek nearby with few deeper spot to swim. Very quiet and calm atmosphere. Host provided clear instructions/directions and overall communication was smooth and friendly. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs some off the grid time! Thank you for hosting us!

The Little Cabin in the Woods

This is an awesome spot to get away and lose yourself in the woods. The place was super clean and well-kept, which was a big deal for us. It's really quiet and crazy dark at night, perfect for stargazing—I saw some of the best night skies ever. Just as advertised, and Josh was quick to help with a couple of small issues. Definitely recommend!

The Little Cabin in the Woods

The perfect affordable cabin

Just a quick 1 hour and 20-minute drive from downtown Seattle, this cabin is the ideal spot for a nature-filled overnight staycation. Josh's directions were easy to follow, and the cabin far exceeded my expectations, especially given the price. It's much more spacious than it appears in photos and came equipped with all the necessary appliances. The upstairs bed is incredibly comfortable, and the string lights add a magical touch. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit in the evening and the indoor one in the morning. There's also a small creek just a 10-minute walk from the cabin where we floated on tubes. I would absolutely stay here again.

The Little Cabin in the Woods

Mixed bag & smelly

It’s a mixed bag. The cabin is well constructed, clean and in a convenient (5 minutes from HW 2) and natural (in a forest) location. Bed was quite comfortable. However, the owner seems to have some trust issues. First you have to agree to a set of rules. Then you need to confirm them by email Next you must print & sign a waiver with these rules. When you get to the property, there are 5 signs with “Get Out”, “Private Property” and what have you. In the house, you again find these rules in a prominent place. And finally, you need to send the owner 5 pictures of how you’ve left the place behind. IMHO, that’s really over the top. Finally, there was a bad smell in the place, maybe mouse poison or a dead mouse?
