Perfect place for our Sisters Retreat

Terri's home is a lovely place. We felt we were in a retreat center. The sustainable practices are noble, and we learned some things about decreasing our footprint on earth. Terri brought fresh veggies and beautiful flowers to the house for us. The home has many seating areas for dining, hanging out, crafting, creating, and relaxing (the tub was fabulous). The expansive front porch was perfect for breakfast and dinner and the circle porch area made a great outdoor yoga studio. The house is close to many hikes and Diablo Lake which we enjoyed very much. A wonderful stay for all of us!

Unique location close to Cascades

This VRBO was a great location that allowed us access to many of the hikes we wanted to do in the North Cascades park. The park itself is only about 15 minutes away and our favorite hike, Cascade Pass and Sahale Arm Trail, ended up being about 1 hour away. The cabin itself is 3 stories and the second and third story are quite spacious, about the size of a condo each. We had everything we needed and the place was really clean. The location is unique and our host, Terri, is a wonderful person. It is a large property with others living on the grounds tending to a large, natural garden. While staying there, Terri gave us a tour which included exploring natural berry bushes, munching on hand picked snow peas, and feeding the chickens. The kids really got into it by helping to hunt down and remove thistle, which is an invasive species. They also learned about sustainable farming practices along the way. Make sure you read the property description and understand the requirements, as they are different from most stays. That being said, if you have an open mind and a willingness to experience something different, this could be a fun stay. As noted, Terri is a great host with a big heart, so I would definitely recommend this location.

Large home offering respite from the city

This place is a unique get-away, offering tranquility, comfort, and memories. We enjoyed the uniqueness this place offered, from the tub bath to the view from the upstairs deck, we enjoyed our stay. I had the large upstairs suite, and I slept like a baby. The kitchen is well-equiped, there are lots of games for entertainment, and the yard is large with lots of flowering plants. We just enjoyed everything. Terri is a gracious hostess, and had some fresh fruits and veggies in the fridge when we arrived. Thanks for everything, Terri!

About the host

Hosted by Terri

I am so grateful to steward this beautiful property. After studying sustainable agriculture, herbal medicine and native ecosystems for years, I am finally able to put what I have learned into practice here. I stay in a remodeled bus behind the rental house and enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion for plants with others. If you are interested in a native plant walk or a tour of the permaculture farm here, I would be happy to arrange it with you.

Why they chose this property

This land hums with life. The gentle south facing slope, creek, and wooded hills hold lots of special little places. The house was designed by architect students and has been lovingly cared for and creatively enhanced over the years. It is very unique and beautiful.

What makes this property unique

We are so close to incredible natural treasures, yet able to enjoy all the comforts of home. There are hiking trails nearby including through Rockport State Park's old growth rain forest. Steep mountains, waterfalls, glaciers, blue rivers and sunny meadows beckon.
