The experience is simple and real with no modern-day conveniences such as Alexa, vacuum cleaners, pressure washers or hot water this is what nature looks like (ok we do use a little elbow grease but hey I'm pretty sure they had that a hundred years ago!) Headlamps and personal flashlights are a must as there are multiple stairs/entrances and rugged uneven terrain. Warm sturdy clothing and layers are a good idea as well. Cell reception is weak but you usually can get/receive texts and the occasional call. Any mobility issues could make this stay not a good fit as access to the only 'traditional' style bed is via a very steep ladder Guest access PLEASE READ AS THE PROPERTY IS SHARED with others however the spaces are nicely separated and each has its own private outdoor areas. COMMON AREAS ~ Similar to a campground the rentals do share a regularly serviced portable toilet unit with hand washing sink station adjacent. ~there are no showering facilities on the entire property. If you're a shower a day person the state park; Fort Flagler at the northern tip of the island has coin operated showers or down by the general store there's a dock where you can jump in the bay! ~Purchase firewood and charcoal from the VW bus farmstand. Peruse the free book library, borrow a game or puzzle, reserve your hot soak, grab some 9Mile merch, forgot your s'mores fixins? dont worry we got you covered!! this can all be done at the bus.

CHARCOAL FIRED SOAKING TUBS: **Please read instructions thoroughly BEFORE use.

Other things to note Nine Mile Adventures Eco House experience may not be for everyone if you are uneasy without your wifi, running water or really any modern day conveniences, or on the contrary if bugs make you fidget, the quiet makes you nervous and you can't roll with occasionally unforecasted wind/fog/rain this may not be your cup of tea, and thats ok!. The cabin is a work in progress and cannot be fully secured(locked). It is made mostly from reclaimed building materials, a steep ladder may make the loft inaccessible to some and has things like antique windows that don't fully latch, bugs get in, hot air gets out. Be honest with yourself, does this listing sound intriguing or terrifying? if the latter please rethink before booking. Please understand that the camp is undergoing constant improvements & various projects may be underway during your visit. We try to keep it tidy but realistically that just isn't always possible. What we truly hope, what our vision from the beginning has been is that all our guests enjoy a unique, peaceful, handcrafted experience that brings each individual that much closer to our planet, respecting her maybe just a little bit more. 9 Mile adventures hopes to provide you with a moment or more of tranquility and a fulfilling escape from society.
