Mush Room at SunRay Shire

Welcome to the SunRay Shire home of SunRay Kelley and Bonnie Howard. We are natural builders and our homes have appeared on MTV Cribs, Home and Garden Channel, in New York Times and Lloyd Kahn’s books Builders of the Pacific Cost and Tiny Homes.
We have hosted many travelers from all over the world in the unique structures on the land. The country quiet is only 10 minutes to the quaint town of Sedro Woolley and 15 minutes to city of Mount Vernon, home to the Lincoln Theatre and many excellent restaurants.
This rugged 9 acre property has walking trails, mountain views, gardens, apple orchard and many examples of handcrafted, sculptural homes and structures.
The Stump House aka Cozy Cabin ID#1541586 and Mush Room aka Fairytale Cabin ID#1541712 are adorable little cold water cabins set in a stand of giant fir and cedar trees. Each cabin overlooks a different trout pond.
The cabins have electricity, cold water sink, towels, coffee/tea station and wood fired heat in addition to electric heater November through April. Texting your eta and any changes to your eta on the day of your arrival is necessary to ensures you will arrive to a lit fire and cozy, warm cabin. We provide two bundles of wood per night. More wood can be purchased for $10.00 / bundle. Bring your rain boots fall through spring as the trails get wet and muddy.
The cabins each have a comfortable double bed made up with seasonally appropriate bedding for a comfortable nights sleep. The Stump House additional has an easy chair that fold out into a small single bed to accommodate a child or third guest.
Guests are welcome to use and socialize in the beautiful outdoor kitchen located in the apple orchard. The cabins share an outdoor, composting toilet and outdoor shower house. You may schedule an evening sauna for $50.00, please message us your request or make your request with the greeter upon your arrival. If you have booked a multiple night stay make sure to include the date you desire for your evening sauna.
The rustic nature of our property is not for everyone but those who are looking to unplug, reconnect with nature and enjoy whimsical creations will not be disappointed. If you have mobility issues our property is not a good choice for you as the parking area is at least a 100 yards away from the cabins and requires a walk down an earthen trail.
We are blessed to live in the forest on Cultus Mountain in North Western Washington. The trees, mountains, clean water, earth and air nourish body and soul. Come breathe, relax and walk in the beauty of nature.
Blessings to all from SunRay and Bonnie!

FYI: November to April wood fire is required in addition to the electric heat to keep the cabins warm and cozy. Wood fire heat takes time to start and to heat the cabin. To make your winter stay warm and comfortable good communication with us about your arrival time is essential!
Let us know your ETA, at least by the morning of your arrival, so we can schedule a fire starter for your cabin. Please update us if your plans change and confirm your arrival time when your GPS says you are 60 minutes away to have your fire lit and cabin cozy warm for your arrival.
Because guests are so frequently late we do not start your fire until you have messaged confirming your gps time of arrival when you are an hour away.
