This cabin is PERFECTION! There are not enough adjectives to explain how wonderful our stay was. Sitting on the deck was so peaceful and calm. This is the perfect place to take a deep breath and let all your stress melt away. The owners have thought of everything from all of the amenities to helpful information throughout the cabin.The close proximity to two state parks was also a bonus. We will definitely be back, often!

What a cute place!! This is a really charming cabin out in the Lakebay area and was perfect distance to the venue for our friend's wedding. The cabin is well equipped with all amenities, including ground coffee, sugar, toiletries, and a comfortable bed. WiFi works well and is easy to connect to. It's a quiet area with very little road noise. The only downside is the property sits in front of another cabin that has roosters, and they like to crow early in the morning. Bring ear plugs to drown them out. Would highly recommend this property if you stay in the area. Thank you again for allowing us the opportunity to crash your cabin!

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!!!!

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.

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!

This fabulous Tiny House is really not that tiny!

I am fascinated about tiny homes! Even more so after being here. When we walked I was so impressed that I messaged Michelle to see if we could stay a 3rd night. Here’s what i didn’t expect from a Tiny Home: * Two queen bedrooms! * The master bedroom is on the main floor, next to the bathroom. It has a pull out TV, bed stands with reading lamps on both sides, lots of drawer and closet space to hang your clothes. * A good sized bathroom with decent counter space and a very nice large shower. * The second queen bedroom in the loft is accessed by stairs, not a ladder. It’s a good size room with lower ceiling clearance, but large enough for a little table. * Dimmers on most all lighting. * The large deck is partially covered and wraps around one side of the home with nice outdoor furniture and lighting. * Lots of windows that open with forest views, high ceilings in most rooms make the home feel so much larger. * A living room with comfortable seating and Smart TV where we could watch the Seahawks. * ADA compliant (American Disability Act) . The property is fabulously secluded. The driveway is lit up with festive white lights. The home is very clean, tastefully decorated, not cluttered. Drawers are labeled with access to extra extra blankets and pillows. Pots, pans and dishes are all in great condition and there are 3 ways to make coffee! Michelle was great to communicate with and very quick with her responses. We can’t wait to return. Thank you Michelle!
