The Black Lodge

The Black Lodge is a cozy Norwegian style cabin, tucked away in the woods in a quiet and peaceful setting. A perfect home base or launching pad for your adventures in the North Cascades. The space This is a five acre lot in the hills above Clear Lake, close to Mt. Vernon and Sedro Woolley. It's quiet, comfortable, and serene - there are big panoramic sky views, lots of trees, and a great sunset view in the summer. We are frequently visited by deer, coyote, and plenty of avian friends both large and small! If you're headed east into the mountains, you'll love the easy access to South Skagit Highway and Highway 20. This unit is a 200 square foot stand-alone cabin with a bed, living room, a wood stove, and a coffee / eating nook. Located in a separate nearby shared space you have access to a kitchen featuring full refrigerator and freezer, two burner induction cooktop, toaster oven, toaster, electric griddle, sink, and plenty of accoutrements (no full oven - just a tiny adorable toaster oven). The bathroom features a large shower stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It's likely that no other tenants will be using this space during your stay, but attached to this building is a working music studio, and the studio is accessed by walking through this kitchen area. Guest access Dedicated parking area, patio area outside of shared kitchen space, shared kitchen, shared bathroom, shared dining area, entire cabin, patio and area outside of cabin, walkway to cabin. Other things to note There is not a bathroom or kitchen located inside the Black Lodge. A shared bathroom and kitchen space is accessible just a few steps away. We have two large dogs (a Goldendoodle and a Bernedoodle) that live with us, and you might see them running around. They don't go outside unless accompanied by one of us, but you should be aware that running into them is a possibility - just in case you don't care for dogs! Other animals on the property are free-ranging chickens. Anything in the refrigerator is available for guests to use during their stay - usually these are a few beverages and some basic condiments, but when the chickens are active there are farm-fresh eggs as well.
