About the host

Hosted by Brittney Douglas

I live in Woodland, WA with my husband and three dogs, Ollie, Karma, and Ruby. We love the great outdoors whether its hiking, fishing, kayaking, camping, or snowboarding.

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood because the property is a very unique and beautiful place. It is located on a serene creek and secured by an electronic gated entrance. Visitors to the property include deer, elk, and blue herons. You can also see small trout swimming in the creek.

What makes this property unique

The property includes 2 separate dwelling units. A cabin and saloon. Both dwellings provide sleeping and kitchen amenities. A gorgeous hand-built greenhouse provides basic fitness equipment to keep up on your daily workouts and meditations. Tip: For the ultimate mediation station, take a yoga mat to the creek bridge and allow the sounds of the creek to fully surround you.
