Nestled near Arlington, our 75-acre property spans both new and old forest, featuring a salmon-filled creek and a vibrant beaver pond—all set against the dramatic backdrop of a 1,200-foot sheer cliff crowned with old-growth trees. Since its purchase in 1958 as a family retreat, this land has grown into much more than a getaway. It has become a place for relaxation, adventure, and connection with nature—a private forest for family and friends to enjoy. Over the years, the family has embraced forest stewardship and sustainable timber harvesting, while also creating campsites, trails, hosting rock concerts, and even making wine. What began as a simple escape has evolved into something extraordinary: a tree farm that successfully balances nearly every goal a forest landowner could imagine—timber production, wildlife habitat, natural beauty, recreation, and forest resilience. Valhalla embodies all of this with a harmony so seamless, it feels effortless.
The campsite offers a warm and welcoming experience, with hosts Shannon and Dave receiving high praise for their hospitality. Campers appreciate the cozy and secluded environment, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful getaway. The natural surroundings, including trails, ponds, and wildlife, add to the charm, providing ample opportunities for exploration. However, some visitors note the need for all-wheel drive vehicles, especially in snowy conditions.
We had a wonderful cozy stay on Shannon’s land. We chose the A-frame cottage and it was just the thing for a winter vacation. The wood stove kept us warm, the sleeping loft was comfortable, the view was amazing. Plus, there were lots of walking trails and other natural features to enjoy around the property like a pond, a creek with signs of salmon life, view of a waterfall, and even the chirping of frogs and eagles flying nearby.
I am so happy I found this A Frame on the hill to have my friends out for my 53rd birthday camping trip. It is the cutest cabin! It’s really was comfy and cozy. The loft with mattress pads are comfy on the my older hips. I was concerned but I was pleasantly surprising comfortable. I had a my friends park at the bottom because I don’t know how her minivan would do getting up the couple switchbacks. My truck did well, I did have to use 4 wheel drive in one spot. The cabin has privacy with a beautiful view. I loved having the propane stove, and wood fireplace. We were warm and toasty.
I brought extra firewood but never needed it. The cabin is well insulated and we had to keep the fireplace on low most of the time.
The color power lighting was awesome with usb and cigarette outlets to charge our phone was very nice. Composting toilet was a real plus as well. It was a rainy day for us so most of our time was inside for the one night.
I highly recommend this cabin. I am so grateful it was available. Communication was awesome with Dave and Shannon as well.
This is a very quiet and private camp spot. Located at wild forest. Easy drive in. It’s a amazing experience!
