Drive up the circular driveway, past cedar trees where you are greeted by an inviting covered porch entrance that instantly provides a genuine welcome. As you step inside, the vaulted wood-clad ceilings and large windows create a bright atmosphere filled with natural light. You'll feel good in the spacious uncluttered design with decor that pleases the eye & never detracts from the forested window views. The dimmable lighting allows you to set the perfect mood for relaxation and perhaps some romance. :)
Picture yourself unwinding in the main floor queen bedroom with multiple windows for nice views with turned down low bedside lighting. The bedside nightstands with USB ports ensure your devices are right where you need them and conveniently charged. A smart 32” TV adds another enjoyable element. Just when you thought it couldn’t be better, you’ll sleep in cozy comfort on a natural latex mattress with organic cotton sheets. You'll have your own thermostat, ceiling fan, extra blankets & pillows to customize your comfort.
Up the stairs in the loft, you'll rest in the second queen bed while enjoying a bird's-eye view of the beautiful outdoors through three windows. One wall contains wallpaper with woodland mushrooms a perfect compliment to remind you of the surrounding trees. A glass topped table with swivel chairs is the perfect spot to work on your laptop, gaze down over the rail to the lower level or simply take in the beautiful outdoor surroundings. All you will see is trees!
In the fully equipped kitchen, you'll let your culinary creativity flow using the gas stove with spacious countertops that offer plenty of room to prepare delicious meals. A counter depth French door fridge has ample space & ice to hold your fresh food & drink. Wake up to the birds (maybe a deer!) and easily make morning beverages your way using a drip machine, mini Keurig, French press, electric kettle or AeroPress. With all the essentials at your fingertips, guests love cooking here.
As you relax in the living room, sinking into the plump blue leather loveseat, you'll appreciate the ottomans that provide extra seating and a place to rest your feet. The large windows keep your eyes on the interesting trees...look for the atmospheric moss covered maples and large cedars. The Smart 32” TV invites you to unwind after a day of nature hikes or beach combing with your favorite streamed shows or movies.
The full-sized bathroom welcomes you with its bright vanity lighting, good-sized counter space and quality cotton towels. You will feel truly rejuvenated with a steamy shower (large enough for two), handheld sprayer & seat while using premium natural hair & body care.

Step outside onto the covered porch (a guest favorite!) filled with comfortable seating. Protected from the elements, you'll spend much of your time here. The attached sun deck provides you a dining space for four, umbrella and a gas grill for your al fresco meals. You will love eating outdoors! Deepen your experience by wandering the property and all the glorious trees. Lounge in the hammock, sway on the swing for two, or gather around the fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars. You'll see why we call it the Magic Lantern with the glow of the garden and house lights!

IDEAS FOR AN ITINERARY:
2 days= the tiny home and surrounding property can be all you need to enjoy your time. Depends on if you primarily came to relax and enjoy the company of whom you are traveling with or if you are looking for regional activities and sights. Slip in a visit to Penrose State Park just down the road via car or a casual walk. There is beach access and trails.
3 days= All of the above, but depending on your relaxation requirements you can further explore the Key Peninsula. I like to look for water access (lakes and boat ramps) or parks. Joemma State Park is the other good state park out here. There is a lot of history on Key Peninsula, I like looking at the interesting barns and buildings out here. Or if doing some driving isn't an issue, spend time in Gig Harbor (30 minute drive). Walking the waterfront shops and restaurants. Also an area for many retailers. Or head for Belfair State Park and/or Hoodsport (summer is best for this little town). Or start to think about day trips- 2 hours in any direction gives you access to the best of the PNW.
4 days and longer- Viewing the tiny home as a base camp to the Olympic National Park & Forest. You could do these day trips ideally with as little as a 3 day stay. Take a scenic drive along Hood Canal 1.5 hours away to Lake Cushman (home of Staircase, gorgeous viewpoints and mossy trees). Or Mt.Walker lookout at 2.5 hours where you can see Seattle in the distance and so much more on a clear day. And everywhere in between there are rivers, salt water, trails and water falls. And/or add another National Park day trip and visit Mt. Rainier. A two hour drive gets you up & personal with the big mountain, the trails and glorious nature found there.
One week and more= Do more of the above. If you have specialized interest we can make further recommendations, like mountain biking trails, local fishing, hiking, off-road driving or just beautiful locations. Bring your kayak! There are some amazing waterways around here. We love this area! We've got room to park your boat and other *toys* here.
