About this property

OFF-Grid "Eco" House + Wood Fired Hot Tubs

Lower your footprint and truly unplug in this rustic, OFF GRID, no electricity, no running water no Wi-Fi forest house nestled in the trees on a tranquil island. Walking distance to many beaches, trails & nature including all her elements; birds, bugs, owls, deer etc. Base camp to the Olympics, Port Townsend & more. We recommend booking with us if you want a superbly located, "green" experience moreover than just a place to sleep. Many liken the Eco House to "camping with comfy furniture". **Wood fired soaking tubs open late June!!**
SLEEP
The idea really is to snooze outside with nature in the sleeping hut. However, if nature isn't cooperating inside you will find a convertible daybed- a compact full pullout futon or climb the STEEP ladder (admittedly not for everyone) to a loft where a traditional full bed awaits. The porch alternatively has a twin swing bed that can be curtained off into its own private setting. Whatever your choice beds are made European style (no top sheet) topped with lofty down comforters to ensure a warm, restful night's sleep. Please let me know in advance if you will be using ALL beds (5 people max/additional fees will apply) so I can assure comfy linens are present for all during your stay.
LIGHTING
Is provided via rechargeable battery powered bulbs. To use simply locate the universal remote (on kitchen counter) point it at the lamp you want on and hit power. We suggest conserving lights to the room you are in and until after dark

THE KITCHEN
An efficient set-up including 4 burner propane cook top, gravity fed (no hot water/non-potable) sink, eco soap, towels and sponge. For cooking pots, pans, utensils cups, plates and bowls available. Basic cooking essentials can be found in the pantry: salt pepper, oil, coffee, tea, condiments and spices Additionally we have equpped each unit with a portable power battery bank for recharging the light bulbs and or your devices. No fossil fuels so no fridge bring a cooler or let us know and we can provide you with one. Drinking water provided in the VW farmstand.

TOILET/W.C
A regular serviced porta potti a quick jaunt from the front door. No shower on premises but if you want a real treat try Soak On The Sound a unique bath house located up the street in Port Townsend.

CHARCOAL FIRED SOAKING TUBS:
**coming second week in June**
~2 communal tubs located each in their own private forest setting
~Self serve, works just like a charcoal BBQ
~With monitoring /stoking comes to temp in 2-3 hrs
~Sign up sheet reserves your private time

HEAT
Comes by way of the wood stove. If you're craving an insta-heat and flame kinda fire you may want to pick up a bundle of kindling and supplement with store-bought wood. Without fires in the winter it will be chilly so pack warmly and keep a fire going or it won’t be comfortable.

Almost everything at Nine Mile Adventures Eco House has had or played a part in a prior life! We recycle and we create!! The off-grid cabin is a small sturdy, hand built (y2k-0) structure by a couple of twenty somethings. A truncated, bare bones dwelling made from mostly reclaimed and recycled materials. Where gaps, cracks and no sheetrock lacks character abounds with antique doors and windows once destined for landfills now proudly play a part in this quirky setting.

MANAGING EXPECTATIONS:
Every off grid set up it unique, ours is no exception. The experience is simple and real with no modern-day conveniences such as Alexa, vacuum cleaners, pressure washers or hot water this is what nature looks like (ok we do use a little elbow grease but hey I'm pretty sure they had that a hundred years ago!) Headlamps and personal flashlights are a must as there are multiple stairs/entrances and rugged uneven terrain. Warm sturdy clothing and layers are a good idea as well. Cell reception is weak but you usually can get/receive texts and the occasional call. Any mobility issues could make this stay not a good fit as access to the only 'traditional' style bed is via a very steep ladder.
