The Chick Inn @ Tamihi Meadows

BRING YOUR OWN BEDDING (and camping gear). This adults-only tiny glamping cabin is charmingly basic with an outhouse, wood stove, and solar lights. NO ELECTRICITY, NO WIFI (but decent phone service), no frills, & no room for fussiness. NO BOOKINGS PERMITTED UNTIL YOU READ THE ENTIRE AD & AGREE TO ALL RULES! (Click “Show More” to view the ad.) We will not entertain complaints or refunds from guests who ignore this. Pls double check with us if it's available as it's also rented privately.. The space Due to ongoing disregard for our rules by certain guests, we’ve implemented additional charges as a deterrent. Furthermore, based on repeated negative experiences, we no longer accept guests with lower ratings in cleanliness or following house rules as they have consistently led to avoidable issues. LONG WEEKENDS require a minimum 2-night stay, including both Friday and Saturday nights. CHECK-IN is between 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Do not book if you cannot arrive by 9:00 PM. Late arrivals will not be permitted entry and no refunds will be issued (except for the cleaning fee). Self check-in is available only for returning guests. First-time guests must call us when you first turn onto Chilliwack Lake Road so we can meet you at the gate of our Tamihi Meadows Campground. Our phone number will be on the reservation after booking. You must be a minimum of 21 years old to book. Please also list the names of the 2nd guest (if any) in a message. 3rd party bookings not permitted. CLEANING: The $15. cleaning fee only covers a very basic (10 minute cleaning), if you want a better clean done, please let the host know & you can pay the extra for a more thorough cleaning. After you leave you will still be charged for anything requiring more than a 10 minute clean. WHO THIS IS FOR: Our place is meant to be a peaceful retreat — a space to relax in serenity and enjoy the natural sounds of the wilderness & river rapids. It’s important to us that all guests can fully experience this calm, without having to listen to music or raised voices from nearby visitors. This is not the place for heavy drinking, drug use, or loud gatherings. We expect all guests to be mindful and respectful of others. If these values don’t align with what you’re looking for, this may not be the right booking for you. THE CABIN: The bed is beside the 7' wide window looking at the river so you can lie in bed and watch the beautiful sunsets (& there is storage space underneath it). This cabin is a TINY 8 x 12', with a 6 x 12' covered deck. There is a porta potty just across the lane. There isn't any power but there are solar lights (which depend on how much charge they get during the day), & no running water but there is a refillable camp sink inside and a (non-potable) water tap in the campground (which is normally running unless everything is frozen). There is also a small table and 2 chairs, and a comfortable queen size bed & a tiny wood stove (which you can cook on if you'd like). There is also a little portable potty available that you can get from the host with a $25. deposit which will be returned when it is returned cleaned & rinsed out. if you wish to use it or you'd risk a $25. fee. Outside there is a small table & 2 chairs, fire pit and hundreds of solar fairy lights around the deck as well as inside on the ceiling. ***YOU REQUIRE A SHEET TO COVER THE BED & SLEEPING BAGS AS WELL AS YOUR CAMPING SUPPLIES INCLUDING TOILET PAPER, (which can't be left in the porta potty as mice will shred it). *The outhouse is across the lane from the cabin & must be kept locked & the key is in your cabin. It is only shared with the other cabin beside it. The outhouse smells like an outhouse (not a porta potty)! DO NOT BOOK IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR YOU! There is an indoor porta potty that you can get from the camp host with a $25. fee that is refunded when you bring it back clean. *There is non-potable water in the campground.
