Hi, I am Lisa, your Host,
We offer a two-bedroom self-contained apartment and a one-bedroom Tiny House. Choose your place to stay that fits your needs. Both accommodations have beautiful views of the panoramic farm fields surrounding the property. We encourage our guests to walk around and take full advantage of the peaceful surroundings. Whichever you choose, you'll enjoy a tranquil stay. The apartment features two bedrooms and two bathrooms a King size bed in the master bedroom and queen in the second bedroom. Our Tiny house has a queen bed. All bedding has extremely comfortable fine linens.
Stay with us for an experience, unlike anything you've had before. We do have the best sunsets, and you can see the horizon for miles. Unlike staying in the city.
We have a few cows and acres of Raspberry Fields. Glen, my husband, works on the farm and is also a Contractor. Hosting is my full-time job. :) The reason we love Hosting, is because of the interesting people we meet from all over the country, and world.
When you travel through Western Washington, don't "stay" in the city, you can stay in the city anytime. You will love the freedom you feel when you get out of the town even a little way. We invite you to join us at the farm and enjoy the quiet life of stress-free living where your neighbors are nowhere around, and the sirens don't sound at night. Welcome to the farm.

What makes this property unique
We have no Neighbors :) our property is completely private and off the main road. The only neighbors you have will be us, upstairs, but we are very quiet
