This property offers a rare opportunity to experience authentic rural forest life while supporting meaningful conservation efforts. Situated on 37 acres of actively regenerating forest and certified tree farm land, guests are surrounded by thousands of newly planted seedlings recapturing original forest habitat. The expansive Winlock Plateau location delivers breathtaking big skies and spectacular sunsets and sunrises, along with dark night skies perfect for stargazing and celestial views. A leisurely hike down to the nearby creek reveals a hidden temperate rain forest featuring towering old-growth Douglas Firs, Big Leaf Maples, and Cedars—visitors may discover fossils or wildlife tracks along the stream bed. Wildlife viewing is abundant throughout the property. Northern Harriers, Bald Eagles, ravens, and numerous songbirds frequent the skies and trees. Deer often appear at dusk, providing memorable wildlife encounters in their natural habitat. The grounds feature multiple peaceful walking areas among trees of all ages, with ample space for guests traveling with pets to explore comfortably. Parking surfaces vary across mowed grass and gravel areas, with several well-spaced spots positioned far from the main residence to ensure privacy and solitude. The grounds are thoughtfully designed for comfort and connection. Level parking areas are situated over 50 meters apart, with generous spacing between sites so guests enjoy complete privacy and unobstructed views in every direction. Pet-friendly accommodations welcome leashed dogs and their companions. The property's location on the beautiful Winlock Plateau places it conveniently close to regional attractions including Mount St. Helens, Highway 12, and I-5, making it an ideal overnight stop or peaceful retreat destination. A unique aspect of staying here is the "pay it forward" tree program—guest donations support discounts for families purchasing Christmas trees from the property, creating a meaningful way to give back during the holiday season. The combination of serene natural surroundings, genuine hospitality, restorative silence, and opportunity to participate in the property's mission makes this location a cherished destination for those seeking rest and renewal among the trees.
