DUE TO FAMILY NEEDS WE HAVE MOVED OUT OF STATE. THE PROPERTY IS UNDER PRIVATE ONWERSHIP AND THEY HAVE ELECTED TO KEEP IT PRIVATE AS OF JULY 14, 2023. Thank you to all who shared this wonderful piece of land and nature with us. We will miss it so very much! We profusely apologize to those whose bookings we are forced to cancel. After a summer spending time at various hip camps our family decided to make one of our own and share it with the hip camp community! It is a dream come true for our family. We started out with two sites completed in 2021 and added a third spot for the 2022 season. A fourth spot is in progress for the 2023 season! The entire property has access to a shared outhouse with an incinerating toilet! It is super important the instructions for it's use are ALWAYS followed. Check out our how to video here https://youtu.be/MNpf8RmxQUY The Shabin is the first site completed. It has been a labor of love and we are so pleased with the outcome. It boasts upcycled and repurposed materials whenever possible crafted by local tradespeople and some of our very own sweat equity! It sleeps 6-8 people including a loft space we ensured could handle adults as well as kids! The Shabin is full of windows making it feel like you’re still outside giving you views of the river and the mountains from every inch of it including windows in the loft. We made sure there was plenty of graveled and wood chipped spaces to enjoy the outdoors with your friends and family around the smokeless fire pit and created a path leading to the river as well as to the hunting and hiking lands at the back of the property. A tool shed contains tools, toys, and extras for our guests use. The Overlook is the second completed site. It is a tent site that overlooks a flowing creek and little waterfall year round. It is a mostly level 38' x 31' space nestled among the ferns and wood chipped for comfort and to reduce dust and mud. The Overlook comes stocked with a firepit, Tiki Torches, Tiki Oil, an 8 ft table, and optional camping chairs. The Romantic Retro Riverside Retreat is the newest addition. Positioned right on the Wallace river, the Retro Retreat is designed to be a romantic 60's inspired riverside getaway for Adults. From the pink Flamingos to the lovingly restored collectors Vintage 1966 Aristocrat Lo-Liner, this is a uniquely beautiful experience. We packed a lot into this awesome space from a toaster oven/coffee maker and matching Adirondack chairs next to a cozy firepit to a deluxe full size bed! For larger groups, the option to book the entire property for family gatherings or corporate or team building events is available!Amazing custom designed and built Shabin (Shed/Cabin) right on the Wallace river. Privately maintained gated road leads to 8 acres with 100ft of Wallace riverfront (including our very own swimming hole!) and backing up to hundreds of acres of DNR and FSB lands for endless hunting, fishing, hiking, rafting, climbing and kayaking options in one of the best areas the PNW has to offer! Instant Hot/cold drinking and fresh water in the shabin! Loft space with Japanese sleeping mats that easily sleep 4! A sleeper sectional and couch accommodate an additional 3-4 guests. 4G and 5G cell reception available; leverage your phone hotspot for Wi-fi so you can work from the spacious desk if you have to! Dinning table seats 6 and mini fridge and microwave/convection oven combo make meal prep a breeze! Outdoor smokeless fire pit, Charbroil Propane Grill, and Pit Boss Propane Griddle round out the camping experience. We encourage outdoor cooking! Please no food or drinks in the loft area. Shabin comes stocked with 3 gallons drinking water in the countertop cooler (bring your reusable containers to keep the waste to a minimum!), 10 gallons of fresh water and 10 gallons of grey water catchment per weekend, plenty for the whole family! Please make sure to minimize food waste in the sink. We provide pots and pans for cooking but keep in mind the limited access to water. Please prewash pots and pans in the river and finish off in the sink. We provide a limited number of paper cups, plates, and bowls. Really cool Outhouse with Incinerating toilet 😱 Requires a bowl liner for every use (yes even a number one) each and every time to ensure proper incineration. This cool piece of tech leaves no trace and makes the proximity to the river possible! Please help us maintain it by following the instructions posted. 😊 Check out this how to video on using our outhouse https://youtu.be/MNpf8RmxQUY We provide garbage cans but you must pack out your garbage. Please bring your own linens or a linen package can be added. Please Note the outhouse is shared with the Overlook and the Retro Retreat. Remotes and manuals are provided for all equipment and tech in the Shabin and on the property which are stored in the document holder on the side of the desk.

The Shabin

happy dogs happy campers

Perfect weekend on the river! We opted to reserve all the sites on this gorgeous property so we and our dogs could rip around in the water and spread out at night. Some of us tent-camped, some stayed in the Shabin. We enjoyed sitting around a fire and making a couple nice dinners with the ease of the amenities provided- tables, grills, utensils.. We lucked out with great sunny weather so we beached it for most of the day and we’re able to relax in the evenings with tired pups. Maria the camp host had answered all of my questions before our arrival and our instructions were clear and easy when we got there. We had total privacy and that allowed us to give our city dogs off-leash freedom we were hoping for. 10/10 experience.

The Shabin

Great place!

Super cute place and very well set up. The only drawback was one of the sofa beds was not usable. The location was great. If you have mobility issues, getting down to the water will be a challenge. Overall our kids loved it!

The Shabin

The location was gorgeous - lovely creek to play in. The Shabin wasn't set up for us... there wasn't water, the grey water bin was overflowing and flooded the shabin on our first night there, and the smoke alarm kept beeping so we had to go into town to buy a new battery for it. The owner had moved away and apparently the person that was supposed to look after the place wasn't around either. Also, I'd only rent this if there's no one staying in the RV, as that's literally right in front of it. We were happy that it was unoccupied, as it would have been very intimate otherwise.

The Shabin

The Shabin structure was great and the location on the gentle river was perfect for the kids. The Shabin has plenty of amenities, fully stocked kitchen. The hill was a bit steep down to the water with some tricky steps and footing. The incinerating toilet was very cool. The pullout couch could be improved. All that said we great that we needed and were able to reach Maria easily with a couple issues that came up and she was very responsive and helpful!

Romantic Retro Retreat

Peaceful Retreat

Maria is an amazing host. She answers calls right away when I needed her help. The place is very peaceful and I love that the river is just a few steps away. Beautiful view. My husband and I fit perfectly on the air mattress with a cozy comforter. We also enjoyed exploring Skyhomish River. I will highly recommend this place.

The Shabin

Camping with some of the comforts of home, we had an amazing time. 10/10 would recommend. We had fun exploring the woods, playing in the river, and sitting around the campfire staring at the stars. Very relaxing. Our dogs were in heaven. Our host was very communicative and the other people we encountered were just as friendly. We will be back!
