This romantic retreat for two boasts handcrafted woodwork, an indoor fireplace, and a private hot tub under the stars. Perfect for couples seeking a cozy getaway near stunning hiking trails. Enjoy modern amenities in a one-of-a-kind rustic setting.

Key Features:
* Relax by the cozy indoor fireplace.

Explore the surrounding hiking trails and enjoy the stunning natural beauty of the Ashford area.

We aim to give our guests complete privacy to enjoy their retreat. We will not be present during your stay, but our local contact is just a phone call away should you need anything. In the event of a power outage, our own communication may be delayed, but our local support remains available to assist you.


* Seasonal Road Closures: FOREST ROAD 52 / SKATE CREEK ROAD, which travels between Packwood and Elbe, is often closed, especially during the winter months. Please check road conditions before traveling.
