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.
What a wonderful stop. I wish we had more time there, but we only stayed one night on our way between Portland/St Helens and Rainier. The house is secluded, as shown in the listing. The balcony overlooks a gorgeous forested valley and we enjoyed just sitting out there and listening to the birds both in the evening and in the morning. The chickens were amusing and they provided part of a wonderful breakfast that was included. The bed was very comfortable, which allowed us to sleep in. The generous check out time was one of the reasons that clinched this spot with travel days on both sides of our stay. The bungalow was spacious, and we were able to do laundry. Host communication was good. Again, I wish we had scheduled more than one day here as it was very peaceful and comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again next time we're in the area.
Our stay was absolutely perfect and a wonderful midpoint on our northwest adventure. From the bedroom to the location you wonât find a more comfy spot to stay in. We had an amazing time winding down to the collection of movies over breakfast for dinner from fresh eggs and homemade pancake mix provided by the hosts.
Beautiful property with so many thoughtful extras from the hostess. Relaxing and quiet atmosphere all around and the whole energy of the place is so serene! I hope to come back when I'm down that way again.
I canât speak highly enough about this property!!! My husband and I stayed here just before Valentineâs 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 youâre 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 didnât 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 canât wait to go back!
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.
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.

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.
If youâre looking for a quiet, sweet getaway, this is your spot! The host was very kind and responded very quickly to anything we needed. Book them now!
Quaint and elegant Bungalow for the perfect getaway to relax and disconnect.
My husband and I could not have picked a better place to stay- we will be coming back soon!
The host is amazing and made sure her guests are well cared for.
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 didnât 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 Iâd return when in the area.
We had a lovely stay at AJâs place. The space is extremely clean, with a very comfortable King bed, and all the amenities youâll need without ever leaving the property. In the kitchen youâll 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!
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.
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.
Great spot for a getaway where it's peaceful and relaxing. Really appreciated all the attention to details that the hosts have done. We enjoyed our stay tremendously!
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 itâs popcorn and a movie and sleep like a baby, itâs so quiet and relaxing. Iâm sitting here thinking up reasons to go back. Canât wait to do so. Thank you to hosts Sandy and AJ for a wonderful gem. Yay!
