The Fox Den a whimsical Earthen Glamping Cabin

Glamping on San Juan Island. The Foxes Den is a whimsical Earthen sleeping cabin, nestled in amongst a Douglas fir forest. Fifteen minutes drive from Friday Harbor and less then a 10 minute drive from Lime Kilm state park. The cabin sleeps 2 on a comfy queen bed and features a small sitting area and access to a separate designated bath house, complete with flushing toilet and hot shower. PPROV0-17-0021 The space The Foxes Den is an off-grid sleeping cabin lovingly made of earth and salvaged materials. This sweet eco-space resembles a hobbit hut and is cozy and whimsical. Battery operated lights provide the necessary power. Please note that as there is no electricity there is no place to charge a cell phone. The shared bathhouse with a designated toilet room labeled “Fox Den toilet” (complete with flushing toilets) and a designated and separate shower room “ Fox Den Shower” (complete with on-demand hot water) is in a separate bathhouse a short walk away ( approximately 75 feet) down a forested path. Please keep in mind that this cabin is not self catering and does not have heat. Guest access The Earthen cabin does not have a kitchen. There are a number of wonderful restaurants in town where guests can procure meals. We are happy to make recommendations. We provide a cook stove to be set up outside to make simple meals and prepare coffee/tea. Please note we do not provide cookware nor is there a place to do dishes. During the day we are happy to recommend a variety of sight seeing options such as sea kayaking, whale watching or wine tasting to name a few. Or feel free to just relax in the woods with a good book. If you aren't afraid of heights take a nap in our tree net; a lovely netted hammock 15 feet above the ground that accommodates up to 10 people and enjoys a view of sky and forest canopy. Other things to note Please note that getting to the island requires a ferry reservation from Anacortes to Friday Harbor. You can see the current schedule and pricing at WSDOT-Ferries. The reservation holds your spot on the ferry. Make sure to arrive at least 45 minutes before the departing ferry. You can make your reservation 2 months before, 2 weeks before or 2 days before your departure. Some standby tickets will be available for drive up however these goes quickly and during the summer months may require a long wait at the ferry terminal. The Foxes Den is located 1 mile down a country road off of Bailer Hill on the North West side of the island. As such we highly recommend a vehicle in order to access the property and allow maximum flexibility for sightseeing and seeking out meals. Road bicycles will find our road difficult to navigate and possibly dangerous. Mountain bikes are able to negotiate the access road easily however. Cell service on the property is spotty at best and WIFI is nearly non existent. We advise bringing a head lamp or flashlight for evening visits to the bathhouse and keep in mind that the paths to the cabin and bathhouse are in a forest environment with uneven terrain so it is advised to bring comfortable walking shoes.
