Very relaxing and private stay. Absolutely stunning gardening and decoration. The hot tub is very well kept and clean and the sauna is no joke. Privacy was a large contributor into what booking we chose and Stillmeadows was exactly what we looked for.

A wonderful place to stay! The place is private and the hosts were available on site but let us have our privacy. The garden was beautiful, even in winter. The hot tub and sauna were just what we needed and had a wonderful and private view of the garden. The home was clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful property! Gardens and hot tub and tranquil creeks are amazing! Great outdoor spaces for painting, eating and playing games.

We had a fantastic time at the garden retreat. Beautiful and serene. Our hosts were very helpful and clear in communication. The hydrotherapy was incredible. A note to future renters- bring flip flops! We did not bring suitable footwear for utilizing the water features at night. Robes and lots of towels were provided. We absolutely loved playing chess in the Africa room and watching nature docs on the big screen. Very close to wonderful views and hikes at Mt.St.Helen. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Beautiful and relaxing

We loved this little property. You could tell that a lot of love went into it, and the gardens are absolutely amazing! We really love that it was also pet friendly, so we could bring our willow and not have to worry at all.

My only regret is that we were just passing through and didn’t have more time to enjoy the property. Excellent amenities, quiet, beautiful, very close to St. Helens, wonderful decorations and hosts. Even the coffee was good. Next time we’re in the area, we will be definitely looking at an extended stay.

Relaxing Water Spa

We drove up from Portland and although the drive wasn't long it really felt like we were out in the country. The atmosphere was relaxing and cozy. The hosts were informative, friendly and unobtrusive. I think staying 2 nights would have been even better than our 1.

A sanctuary of peace

A lovely rental in an area that is hard to find accomodations in. The hydrotherapy set up was amazing and we loved wandering in the gardens. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was tiny, which was hard for us as people who often cook on these vacations, but we made do. We absolutely would not hesitate to recommend this location to anyone looking for a place to stay that isn't forever away from the Mt. St. Helen's area. Thank you for sharing your space and your peace with us!

I loved this place so much! It was so nice to be greeted and showed around upon arrival. They were very welcoming and I felt very prepared for my stay. The property is beautiful! This place is in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by beautiful gardens (I can see why it’s in the name). There’s a private outdoor shower, hot tub, and sauna. The location was close to Castle Rock which has some restaurants and shops to check out. It’s also close to Mt St Helens which is why we chose this property to stay. But now that I know how wonderful it is I’m going to try to come back and stay again soon!

The landscaped grounds with pathways was part of the therapy experience. I tried the outdoor shower, hot tub, sauna, cold bath, breathing, and meditative cycle and loved it. The cold bath is a shocker but is worth the experience. I would like to have stayed another day. You should know that there are two beds and both are doubles. The unit was well appointed and spacious. Enjoy...

Beautiful garden with fun hydrotherapy

The host was nice and the garden was beautiful. We really enjoyed the little hydrotherapy area with the outdoor shower, hot tub, sauna and cold plunge. Fun place to go and just relax and read a book. It was a hot summer day and the small wall air conditioner unit is on the opposite side of the house from the bedroom, so it was hot sleeping even with the window open. The hosts live right next to the house. Their office is part of the same guest building and shares a front door area. With the doors kept open for airflow it was not the private setting I was expecting, but they kept to themselves and were nice hosts. I would return for another stay sometime.

Amazing garden

So, just some thoughts on previous comments: 1) I could not hear the rooster at all inside. The only time I heard it was 4 pm one of the days I stayed. 2) the Internet was really easy to connect to and 3) backing up was like 50 ft, if you can't do that you perhaps driving lessons. On to my review. The garden is absolutely amazing. I mean, you have to see it to understand. There are so many features, it's incredible. Also the hot tub was very nice and secluded. And there were so many shady spots to sit. My friend and I just read for hours one of the days out our stay. The drive in, too, has incredible views of Mt St Helens. Downtown had all these lovely little shops, I recommend the Parwell Farms and Quilting shop, and the vault bookstore. It was a wonderful weekend and I would definitely stay there again. You can tell the owners have put an incredible amount of though and heart into their little getaway.

Absolutely wonderful and peaceful!

My partner and I visited for the weekend and had such a wonderful trip. It was genuinely so quiet, perfect if you need a quiet peaceful escape surrounded by trees. I was surprised by how large the outdoor spaces were, with multiple different areas to sit on outdoor chairs and couches, depending on if you wanted shade or more sun. The gardens were so lovely too, and the hot tub was perfect. It felt very private as well with our our private entrance and pathway. The inside was great and even larger than expected. The kitchen was a little tight with limited counter space if you're planning to cook full meals as we did, but that's to be expected, and it worked out just fine. There were plenty of pots/pans, cooking utensils, some spices and teas, and such. The only thing we forgot to bring was EVOO, but David was so sweet and brought us a nice bottle with a plate of fresh berries. The TVs worked great as well (there are two, one Smart TV with Netflix and other apps). The AC was powerful and kept most of the space very cool in July (it didnt entirely reach the bedroom but it was still plenty cool enough to sleep). Overall it was a dream and I'll definitely plan to come back for a little getaway!
