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. 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 2 separate toilet rooms (complete with flushing toilets) and 2 separate shower rooms (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.

Additional Information
Guest access
The Earthen cabin does not have a kitchen. Due to the pandemic we are no longer able to provide our usual breakfast basket. There are a number of wonderful restaurants in town where guests can procure meals. We are happy to make recommendations. Guests are also welcome to bring their own cook stove to be set up outside to make simple meals. Please note we do not provide cookware nor is there a place to do dishes.<br />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. Finally, this property does have a pet dog. She is big, fluffy and friendly but mostly sticks close to the hosts.

Friendly, compassionate, open and laid back I have a passion for the outdoors, the perfoming arts, wellness. I am the mother of 3 amazing young adults and married to my best pal and enthusiastic travel partner. We met while traveling in Alaska 29 years ago and have had the fortune to explore much of the west coast and wonderful national parks of North America and some of Europe, Central and South America, Australia, Tanzania, India, and South East Asia together. My husband is funny, gregarious, enthusiastic and a born story teller. We live to travel and it is our great pleasure to host other travelers. We love learning about new cultures, meeting new people and discovering as much of the rest of the planet as is possible in the days to come.
