About this property

The Peaceful Hidden House, Bed & Breakfast

  • As you come up the long, tree-covered driveway and see 'The Hidden House', you'll feel a lot like Hansel & Gretel. Some call it magical, others call it enchanting. You'll be at the top of the hill but nothing tops the peace and tranquility. It's the perfect get away.

    The reviews speak volumes - and after a seamless check-in, you'll settle into a spacious, private retreat designed for slowing down, getting comfortable, and enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

    Your stay includes the **second and third stories of our lodge-style main house**, with soaring **27-foot ceilings, exposed beams, abundant windows, 3 bedrooms plus a cozy twin sleeping nook, two full bathrooms, and room for up to 8 guests**.

    In the cooler months, turn on the electric fireplace and settle in with a movie, game, or good book. When summer arrives, the A/C keeps things comfortable. Upstairs, the open loft offers an **office/work/library area** for anyone who needs to stay connected - or simply wants a quiet corner to themselves.

    When it's time to unwind, enjoy your **private sauna** or sink into the **oversized soaking tub**. Sometimes the best part of getting away is having nowhere you need to be.

    The kitchen is made for actually cooking, with a **5-burner gas stove, electric grill, toaster oven**, and plenty of the basics already waiting for you. We keep it stocked with condiments, spices, and snacks so you don't have to bring every little thing from home.

    And breakfast is something of a tradition here. Enjoy freshly brewed coffee, **farm-fresh eggs**, and AJ's homemade **gluten-free buttermilk pancake and waffle mix**, waiting in the fridge along with real butter and Grade A maple syrup.

    Step outside onto the **front or back deck** with your morning coffee, enjoy dinner outside, or simply take in the peaceful territorial views. While the surrounding yard and grounds are reserved for the owners and are not included with the rental, both decks are yours to enjoy and provide plenty of private outdoor space.

    The owners live onsite in the **separate Bungalow adjacent to the main house**. The Bungalow and main house are connected only by a spacious closet area, with **separate entrances and no shared living spaces** - close enough if you need something, while giving you the privacy to settle in and enjoy the home as your own during your stay.

    **Please note: no children over the age of 1.** Unfortunately, the property and layout are not well suited for active and curious youngsters.

    **No pets, please.** But if you enjoy animals and nature, keep an eye out through the home's many windows and decks - you never know what local wildlife may wander into view.

    When you feel like exploring, the quaint town of **Castle Rock is just 12 minutes away**, where you can stroll along the waterfront, grab a coffee, and browse the local shops. Venture farther and you'll find the remarkable landscape surrounding **Mount St. Helens**, while both the coast and city make for easy day-trip adventures.

    And while this is a wonderful place to disconnect, you don't have to. **Starlink internet, smart TV’s, and Wi-Fi calling** make it easy to stay connected when you want to.

    Whether you're gathering with friends, traveling with family, working remotely, or simply looking for somewhere peaceful to disappear for a few days, the house offers plenty of room to spread out and plenty of cozy places to come back together.

    **Come ready to settle in, slow down, and enjoy your stay.**

Fantastic property - felt brand new with exceptional amenities - the Bungalow has everything you could need or ask for - one of the nicest rental properties we've ever used. The setting is incredibly quiet and peaceful - rural but within 10 minutes of restaurants and essentials.

We loved our stay at the bungalow! It was very clear that our host cared deeply about making sure our stay was as enjoyable as possible. The house was stocked with so many essential items, the views around the property were amazing, and it was the perfect hub for our adventures. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful comfortable place to vacation

Bungalow was beautiful, well stocked, and in a quiet area. The bed was extremely comfortable. We enjoyed the chickens and the breakfast was delicious! Easy drive to Mt St Helens and Astoria Oregon which were both on our list of things to do. Thank you AJ for the quick response to our messages and for offering such a nice place to stay.

Lovely getaway

Had a great stay here after exploring Mount St. Helens. AJ did a great job with directions to the house; there are some steep and windy roads, so getting there in the daylight is a good idea. The house itself was incredibly comfortable and well decked-out; the perfect spot to relax. We enjoyed saying hello to the chickens! Excellent little hideaway.

Peaceful Location

The Bungalow is perfectly located to explore the Mount St. Helens area. Although attached to the main house it is very private and offers separate outdoor seating to relax and enjoy the peaceful scenery. Watching the chickens in their atrium is also quite entertaining! The Bungalow is well stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The egg and pancake breakfast was an added treat! Highly recommend and would not hesitate to stay again.

Perfect hidden getaway!

I wish I could give this place 20 stars. My husband and I stayed overnight for a quick and quiet getaway for our anniversary. Communication with the host was incredible and they were so friendly. The morning pancakes were literally to die for!! It was stormy outside during our stay and it was so relaxing to just hang out and choose movies to watch and games to play from their collection! We would absolutely stay here again.

Lovely stay

Easy arrival and minimal check out obligations. The property is secluded and peaceful. We took advantage of the offer of coffee, eggs, and leftover non perishable foods in the kitchen so we didn’t need to go out for food. Lovely chickens in the back yard coop. Hot water ran out or got a little cool during bathing. Nice place to stay and I’d return when in the area.

A Great Stay

We had a wonderful stay at the Hidden House. The suite is beautifully decorated with many lovely features. The kitchen is very well laid out and has all the features needed to have a gourmet meal. The owner left us many little extras including fresh eggs, real cream and pancake mix ready to use. The house is as described in the listing if not better when you actually see it. The location is beautiful and very quiet. Would definitely recommend and look forward to returning again. Andy & Karen

Sweet Retreat

This place is just as pictured. Cozy living space and nicely designed kitchen. Lots of coffee choices, and the fresh eggs were a wonderful treat. It was fun to watch the baby bunnies and chickens. It's a very peaceful location so easy to unplug, but also close enough that you can grab whatever essentials you might need. If time allows, try Roland Winery nearby for some live music, good wine, and good food. The drive to visit Mount St. Helens monument was beautiful. AJ is a great host too! Would recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful escape.

I can’t speak highly enough about this property!!! My husband and I stayed here just before Valentine’s Day and had the best experience. We loved snuggling up on the comfy couch, watching movies, playing games, and reading in front of the wood-burning fireplace. The bed is super comfortable and the kitchen is pretty well stocked with cooking utensils and some basic seasonings. The pancake mix, syrup, and eggs that are provided made for a delicious breakfast, too! If you’re staying during the snowy or rainy seasons, be sure to have a 4WD/AWD vehicle because the driveway is extremely steep (AJ did offer to pick us up at the bottom of the driveway if we didn’t think our car could make it, though!). AJ is an amazing host and has created the most beautiful hidden vacation spot! The Bungalow exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to go back!

This bungalow is so well appointed, clean, cozy, comfortable - very thoughtfully put together. I visited solo as I came to ride the Tour de Blast, a cycling adventure riding up Mt St Helens. It was a perfect base for that. But know I see it as a perfect base for a multi day visit to Mt St Helens for hiking and cycling. I can see returning to the bungalow after a full and active day to enjoy a hot shower, use the washer dryer for clothes, and use the fantastic kitchen to cook some hearty food. Then it’s popcorn and a movie and sleep like a baby, it’s so quiet and relaxing. I’m sitting here thinking up reasons to go back. Can’t wait to do so. Thank you to hosts Sandy and AJ for a wonderful gem. Yay!

Lovely quiet stay with yummy breakfast

We had a lovely stay at AJ’s place. The space is extremely clean, with a very comfortable King bed, and all the amenities you’ll need without ever leaving the property. In the kitchen you’ll find plenty of real cookware, cast iron skillet, utensils, and dish ware (all in great condition), as well as the usual condiments and then some. Although we brought dinner with us prior to arrival, there are available food items in the freezer and cupboard from which you could make your own meal, so no need for traipsing into town for dinner. Especially treat worthy, our hostess delivered fresh pancake batter (gluten free) on check-in, which we consumed entirely the next morning, along with fresh eggs provided from the backyard chicken coop. The A/C was much welcome during our stay given the high temps outside. Lots of bathroom amenities, too, with a washer and dryer. The host provided clear instructions on how to find the spot, which was well marked and easy to find. The road up to the rental is one-lane in some spots, so be alert to occasional oncoming traffic. We loved the quiet and solitude of our rental, and appreciated the kindness of our host on check-in, who otherwise remained out of sight and respected our privacy. We recommend!
