Excellent experience

The cabin adorable. The property was fun to explore and pick berries. The accommodations were excellent. We were able to cook meals so we didn't have to eat out all the time. Very peaceful place to spend time at. We appreciated that everything was labeled and easy to find. I would highly recommend!!

Amazing!

Easy process to check in. The cabin was probably even better than advertised. It had everything we needed for our weekend stay and longer. Really close to 2 state parks. We got to see a deer in the yard our first morning and what looked like a big sea otter running though at night. Highly recommend!!!!

Tiny home

I had an amazing time at the tiny home in the trees! The place was so clean and the location was perfect to go swimming either in a lake or at the state park. My mom and sister want to come back with me to stay and I will definitely recommend this place to my friends

Cozy & Perfect Stay

My daughter and I had a perfect stay at the Magic Lantern tiny house. The design was perfect for maximizing space (it didn’t feel small at all!) and all the windows really brought nature in. We enjoyed eating berries off the vine and watching the chipmunks and birds do the same. Penrose State Park has a wonderful beach (turn right at the T for the best access) as well.

Perfect stay in a cozy cabin in the woods.

Michelle’s cabin was private, clean, and perfectly equipped for a multi-day stay. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked, and we were constantly surprised by the thoughtfulness of the amenities. Great communications and better than the description. 10/10 would stay again.

What a Joy

This house was so comfy and inviting. All amenities were thought of. And it was so close to family. Everything was just wonderful. Master bed was more comfy than our bed at home. Thank you Michelle for sharing your tiny home with us. A return visit is definitely in the future.

Beautiful forest getaway

Get away from it all in a charming tiny home cabin (that doesn’t feel at all tiny). Extremely clean, well appointed, light filled, comfortable cabin - in the woods but not completely isolated. Wildlife sightings, Penrose Point State Park very close. Responsive host. Green all around. Rejuvenating. My cousin visiting from LA, and I from Portland, LOVED our stay! Highly recommend!

Cozy

We stayed for 1wk and we absolutely loved it. Cozy, warm little cabin in the woods with all the essentials. Perfect getaway for my spouse and I. Location was great too, a little far away from State Parks and Seattle but we loved the distance from any hustle and bustle. Still able to easily drive and check out Rainier National Park, Seattle, Olympic National Park, Hoh National Forest also numerous Disc Golf Courses. Thank you for this stress free experience!

A fairy-tale cabin!

The cabin was wonderful! It was clean, well stocked, and private. I got there late at night and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see a thing. But Michelle left the lights on for me. So I was greeted by a cozy, well lit cabin that was surrounded by all the outdoor lights. We had a terrific time. Barbecued on the grill and made a bonfire one evening. It felt like a magical place to rest and unwind. We will definitely be going back!!

Family Connection Spot

This place was adorable and perfect for our needs. Myself my hubs and our daughters 7and 8. They Loved the loft bedroom and especially the mini fridge which could literally fit a couple capri suns, an apple, and yeah,a package of microwave popcorn. The beds are super comfy, the entire place is very clean and it is just an all around magical place. The living room is tiny, which was just fine for us. We spent a lot of time on the cozy covered porch playing cards and just being together. My daughter Juniper spent literally hours picking blackberries on the property and both the girls had a blast just exploring all the sweet magic. The water is so close. We spent our 1 full day at the bay playing in the water and exploring the beautiful trails. This was just what our little family needed right before the the start of the school year. The kitchen is stocked with decent knives (we have learned to pack our own just in case)along with tongs and all the other kitchen essentials. My hubs has been a cook for 25yrs so this is essential for us. One thing to note, the main road is closer than expected so there is some traffic noise during the day. This was not an issue for us, however if youre looking for a zen getaway, it may be distracting. Also, the local tiny mart is astronomically over priced. So come completely prepared. It is just basically a gas station without the gas and we had to pay $10 for a bag of marshmellows! So bring all the things! Overall, loved it!!!

Short family getaway

We stayed while in town for my step-son's wedding. While we didn't spend a ton of time in the house, the time we were there was amazing. The location was great, it was easy to find and was super cute! There were so many thoughtful touches the owner had added that made the stay perfect! We are already looking at dates to come back
