Fun Hideaways

Est. 2011 — Inland Northwest

Cabins that are hard to find. On purpose.

We broker eleven off-grid hideaways — eight cabins, a decommissioned fire lookout, and two converted shacks. Wood heat. Creek water. No cell service. Bring a book.

Currently booking through guest referrals only. If you're here, someone sent you.

The directory

Eleven properties. Each one we've walked, split wood at, and slept in. If it's listed, it works. Filter labels are descriptive, not marketing — "sleeps 2" means two adults, not two adults and a cot for the dog.

Ground rules

01 — No keys left under mats

You get codes, a map, and a gate combo the day before. Written directions, because your phone won't work.

02 — Pack it out

We don't have a dumpster service. Whatever you bring in, you drive out. Nobody has ever complained about this.

03 — Leave wood for the next crew

Split at least what you burned. The maul is in the shed. It's not hard, it's just work.

04 — No parties, no weddings

These are quiet places. If that sounds like a limitation, this isn't the directory for you.

05 — Gates closed, always

Every gate you open, close behind you, whether there's stock in the field or not. Local habit. Don't be the exception.

06 — Kids are welcome, mostly

Eight of eleven cabins are fine with kids. Two have drop-offs we don't want a toddler near. Ask.
