About this property

#WoodsyRetreat is a daylight walk-out suite- apartment- a prime example that nature's basic drive is not competition, as supposedly 'class' evolutionary theory maintains - its connection to our environment, home, where we choose to stay- staycation. You certainly understood this, with your play pool, hike, and soak! Woodsy Retreat is a private spa atmosphere that we keep enhancing.

Peaceful spot in the forest

Such a sweet place surrounded by forest. Everything was clean and spotless. The kitchen was very well stocked and fun to cook in. The beds were so comfortable. We heard a Great Horned Owl in the trees one night and the frogs symphony.

Charming Intimate and beautiful.

Woodsy Retreat, was absolutely perfect for us. The owners really go above and beyond with the little details. I particularly enjoyed their little coffee station. So many choices and delights. It had all the convienence of home with a freling if camping outside. Sleeping with the windows open listening to the frogs and the the rain come down in very vomfortable beds gave us the ability to get some real needed dwep rest. Highly recommend Woodsy retreat for a small family or a couples get away

Woodsy Retreat plus hot tub!

We had a wonderful time and highly recommend it to others! The outside hot tub was a big hit, very private, and located adjacent to the forest, which is right outside the entrance, and offered easy access to trails. Inside was very spacious, with an open floor plan and two couches in the main room for group conversation. The gas stove in the corner provided a warm ambience. The generous host left a variety of snacks and breaded treats. It's in a quiet, rural neighborhood, but feels like you are miles away from civilization. Great getaway!

Pretty nice place

Enjoyed the extras. Couldn’t believe the wonderful food and beverages that were provided. I think the VRBO site itself was a stumbling block as it relates to communicating. Clunky. Have to go to my email then hit a button to navigate to the site .

Incredibly Indulgent

We had a fabulous stay at Woodsy Retreat. The natural surroundings are so incredibly beautiful. Even in the cold and rain, we were able to enjoy them from the hot tub and the wonderful swinging daybed on the covered patio with a heater! Nature therapy is tougher in November in the PNW, but this retreat made it comfortable and accessible. The inside is also beautiful and decadently appointed. To say everything we needed was provided is an understatement. From fresh bread, snacks, and breakfast pastries to luxurious beds and robes - everything was high quality. This did not feel like a typical VRBO - instead, we felt like we were esteemed guests for whom only the best was provided!
