About this property
Entire place
Remote Off-Grid-Rustic Tree House @ Sustainable Eco-Village
The two beds in the Treehouse (one in the loft) are twin mattresses, tight for two people. It has fit four adults, but ones who like to sleep close to one another. Otherwise, think of it as a two person cabin, although six have occupied it. No electricity, heat, or plumbing -- it is a rustic cabin. Come prepared
This location is very beautiful if you are into nature --and remote -- so please be sure you've read through the full description and are prepared for certain elements of "roughing it" and adventure travel. In fact, let me talk you OUT of coming here....
--There are bugs here spring through fall (it deep in the wilderness) dirt in places (as the dirt/forestry roads coming in are gravel roads and THIS IS A AN OFF-GRID FARM).
-- Accessibility: This is within the Siskiyou Mountains, so, hilly/steep and 5 miles deep into the national forest. This makes some people nervous. It's a gravel forestry road with some small potholes and our driveway is a little rougher.
-- Beds. Our rooms are always clean but the sheets are likely from a thrift store, probably don't match, and may have stains on them, or tears. There won't be a fancy duvet or chocolates on the pillow. It's very rustic.
-- The Village is also a work-in-progress so we are likely to be working and there may be some construction and messes around. It is NOTHING like a resort. Just some good peoples in the middle of a vast National Forest/wilderness area endeavoring to live off the land in a self-sufficient, sustainable, holistic way.
-- Animals: Between the two Border Collies who run around at night chasing forest creatures, springtime frog concerts and the early-rising chickens, it is likely that there will be some animal noises or general forest sounds occurring at unpredictable moments during the night and day.
-- Wild animals: There are various of these that live in the forest, including skunks, chipmunks, foxes, black bears, and many birds and insects. Since we have dogs and people around, the wild animals tend to keep their distance from the areas that we use. If you are lucky, you might spot a black bear on a hike or one the forestry road coming in; they are basically like big raccoons and prefer to run away from humans.
-- But THINK FARM. As such, we might track muddy footprints into the bathhouse if its raining (this is rain forest) and there's almost always a project going on, so there could be a leaf pile outside your cabin, other possibilities, too.
If you're a city-city person, maintain LOW expectations. Think CAMPING with some perks.
Perks/Amenities
--Lighting / Electricity: Your cabin does not have electricity; we recommend that you bring your own lights as it can get very dark here.
--Bathhouse: It is a shared space (with all residents and guests) with an indoor composting toilet (bucket with seats) a bidet and an adjoining wood-fired steam sauna, cold plunge tub, and cold shower. It is about 150 ft away from the TH.
---Community Kitchen is a common area with an indoor kitchen, refrigeration, stove, and all the condiments and utensils you need. It's community space -- and you are a part of our community while you're here.
-- Swimming hole, trails (Nick's Trail)
---(Lack of) Phone / Internet: Some Verizon and US Cellular service is available, like one bar, but AT&T and T-Mobile do not service our area. We do not have wifi.
-- Our dogs, Happy and Boo will bark and look mildly invigorated while they herd your vehicle when you arrive, then want petting and tummy scratching. They are clever con-artists convincing you that they are never loved and will woo you.
There was a (mostly) ground fire, the Smith River Complex Fire, in August of 2023. We lost seven buildings and some animals. No human lives were lost. Our area is very green, but you'll notice harder burns coming in on the forestry road. Updates on our renewal progress on sustainable ecovillage do tc om
You are welcome to wander anywhere, hang out in gardens, Sasquatch Temple, our Solarium, visit the swimming hole, visit with animals, trails, etc. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
If I didn't scare you off (too much), welcome : )
