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!

David, thank you for your 10 star review! I want to address the comment about the bedroom not having a door so others aren‘t confused. There is a curtain so it is private in that sense. The toIlet is also a standard size, obviously toIlets come bigger, but I wouldn’t want our guests to assume it‘s too small for the average person. Again, thank you for all your possitive comments! It was a pleasure hosting you, and I hope you get the chance to return.
Fantastic property - felt brand new with exceptional amenities - the Bungalow has everything you could need or ask for - one of the nicest rental properties we've ever used. The setting is incredibly quiet and peaceful - rural but within 10 minutes of restaurants and essentials.

We loved our stay at the bungalow! It was very clear that our host cared deeply about making sure our stay was as enjoyable as possible. The house was stocked with so many essential items, the views around the property were amazing, and it was the perfect hub for our adventures. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

One of the best vacation home option near Mt St Helens.
Very thoughtful details and comfortable stay!
This is far above any other lodging I have experienced in my life. No detail was missed. I highly recommend the bungalow to anyone seeking comfort and peace.
Great spot for a getaway where it's peaceful and relaxing. Really appreciated all the attention to details that the hosts have done. We enjoyed our stay tremendously!

Thank you Angel! It was a pleasure hosting you and chatting for a bit. I appreciate all your feedback. Hope to see you again sometime.
Beautiful property with so many thoughtful extras from the hostess. Relaxing and quiet atmosphere all around and the whole energy of the place is so serene! I hope to come back when I'm down that way again.
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.
If you’re looking for a quiet, sweet getaway, this is your spot! The host was very kind and responded very quickly to anything we needed. Book them now!

About the host
Hosted by AJ Lane
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!
