About this property

The Peaceful Hidden House Bungalow, Bed & Breakfast

As you come up the long, tree-covered driveway and see 'The Hidden House', you'll feel a lot like Hansel & Gretel. Some call it magical, others call it enchanting. You'll be at the top of the hill but nothing tops the peace and tranquility. It's the perfect get away.

The cozy 1000sq ft 2-story Bungalow is only 10 minutes off I-5. It was built in the 70's as a get-a-way in the woods. It boasts many recent updates while holding a lot of original character. The main house was added in the 90's, but the Bungalow is still detached, and very private. So quiet that you may never see or hear the owners in the main house, and they may never see or hear you.

The reviews don't lie; the Bungalow has everything, and that means everything you might need for a comfortable stay... especially the high-quality Cal-King, and XL Twin beds…who doesn't need a great night sleep?! The kitchen is nicely stocked with coffee, fresh cream, condiments, spices and snacks. In the morning enjoy making gluten-free buttermilk pancakes and eggs. AJ’s special pancake mix, fresh eggs, real butter, and maple syrup provided.

Gaze at the wildlife from your swing on the covered back patio, the side porch or your own private deck above the chicken atrium. Take in all the expansive surrounding views!

In the winter you can light the logs prepared for you in the wood stove and snuggle up to a good movie, book, board game, or your favorite shows on the smart TV.

The bungalow is also the perfect place to bring work and bunker down at the desk with a picture window. Starlink gives enough wifi signal for everyone, especially for posting your bungalow vacation on social media. Either unplug from your cell phone, since service can be sketchy, or stay connected with wifi-calling.

If comfort, cleanliness and having all your needs met is important to you, then you'll love the Bungalow. Come ready to relax and rejuvenate!

Comfy, Cozy, Chickens!

Our stay was absolutely perfect and a wonderful midpoint on our northwest adventure. From the bedroom to the location you won’t 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.

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.

Lovely getaway

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.

Quiet and secluded forest bungalow

Our experience staying here was great. Everything is as advertised and some highlights include the incredibly comfortable bed, high quality bedding, easy to use fireplace and ridiculously well stocked kitchen. If a quiet, comfortable qetaway is what you are seeking this secluded bungalow is a great match.

About the host

Hosted by AJ Lane

Host profile image
Hello! My name is AJ. I was born and raised in the PNW. A fort-buildin' tomboy turned professional hair and makeup artist/vacation rental owner. I started my rental venture many years ago as one of the first vacation rental owners in Vancouver, WA. Since then, I've helped others manage and develop their properties. It feels like building forts all over again, and I simply I love it.

Why they chose this property

My latest venture is The Hidden House Bungalow off our new house in Castle Rock, WA. The entire house is a work in progress, but I love the work! So my husband and I spend most of our time, and money, making it the 'house in the woods' of our dreams.

What makes this property unique

Backed-up to forest for miles and miles, our property is a dream come true. It's quiet, peaceful, and the wildlife keeps it exciting. It's quiet and peaceful, did I already mention that? The well water on tap is straight from heaven. I call it the fountain of youth, and our guests like to take some home after each visit. Once you taste it, you'll know why!
