One of the oldest original homesteads in the area, for nearly 150 years this gem has been in the family. We have shared it with many people over the years and would love to share it with you! These beloved woods are the remaining part of the once vast, St. Martin homestead-started in the late 1800s. Our family ties and our roots grow very deeply in these woods-we've been born and raised here and continue to strive to be good stewards of these lands. Pristine woods, trails, river access, and more! Located in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, 60 minutes east of Portland, 25 minutes west of Hood River. A truly tranquil place to enjoy exclusively, or to use as a basecamp for the unlimited adventures possible in this scenic area. Welcome and enjoy!

Little Island

Beautiful and Special place

This campsite is in a beautiful spot among the Wind and Little Wind Rivers, offering a peaceful and private experience. The composting toilets are clean, and the log table at the Little Island campsite is useful, though the deck is weathered so much, we weren’t inspired to use it. The cable gate system at the site entrance is cumbersome and honestly, is a pretty big safety concern (considering everything from a quick moving forest fire to a sprained ankle, needing to get to a medic) relying on a shared key, which could be problematic in an emergency. Individual keys or an emergency exit from the site would be better. The site is buggy, and with few trees, it’s hard to hang hammocks or lights. Improving river access (to both Wind and Little Rivers) with better trails, foot bridges, would also enhance the experience. Despite these issues, the location’s natural beauty makes it worth a visit.

Little Island

Love Windwoodrivers! So peaceful. Been several times. Stylish new composting latrines. Stayed at Little Island this time, and felt lucky to commune with the carved wood art. So special.

Cedar Grove

We absolutely loved it here! We are already planning a trip back in the fall. The swings are such a fun touch! The sound of the creek is so soothing. We loved sleeping to the sound of it. The bathrooms are super clean.

Fern Ridge

Restorative stay at Fern

This was our third stay at Fern, and we are planning on returning to this magical and artisanal place. We had a phenomenal restorative stay at Fern. Nestled deep within a lush forest of towering cedar trees, this site is a true retreat into nature. We loved eating breakfast and birding on the patio. The trails, Wind River and Little Wind, are stunning features on the large property. Faith was a welcoming host and Chris was a knowledgeable guide who helped us explore the local area. One of our favourite aspects of the tiny home was the outdoor shower. The shower is perfectly positioned to give us a sense of privacy while still being connected to the beautiful environment around us. The setup at Fern has thoughtful details such as comfortable chairs and a hammock that made it easy to relax and unwind. We were also able to book the sauna for private use, which was an amazing daily activity that we always followed by a cold plunge in the tub. This Hipcamp site is a perfect escape for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature. We can’t recommend it highly enough!

Eagle's Nest

Great time at Eagle's Nest!

We had a great multi-night experience at Eagles Nest. The short hike into the camp was well maintained and clearly marked. The bridge was a lot of fun to cross and well designed. The camp area was larger than we expected, flat, and very private. Even though there were other people camping on the property it felt like we were alone. The compostable bathrooms were very clean, organized, and well maintained. We really enjoyed walking the river, exploring the area, and having some quiet in nature. Great experience and will definitely want to return!
