The Nook Of Monte Cristo
located a little more then an hour north of Seattle in the foothills of the Cascade mountain range on the Mountain Loop Highway just outside the small town of Granite Falls is our property with a guest house "The Nook of Monte Cristo". Our property is nestled in the Canyon Falls neighborhood and is perfectly located for those wanting to explore our great hiking trails, wilderness, and all that nature has to offer. Then when your all done you have a place close by to come back, unwind, and relax.
The "Nook of Monte Cristo" is a guest house cabin on our property and sits adjacent to our trailer on the property. We do our best to give guests their privacy with even putting up curtains on our deck. The property is in a prime location for you to get started on your adventures on all the great hiking trails and wilderness that the Mountain Loop Highway has to offer.
After a long day of adventure this guest house/cabin is like a dream. All nestled inside 160 sq ft is a cozy oasis with all the amenities one needs even for a long holiday.
the guest house has a covered porch overlooking our small pond and is great for enjoying a morning cup of coffee/tea and maybe you will be blessed by a sighting of ducks, heron, frogs, birds, or even deer like to wonder through. The covered porch has two outdoor chairs with cushions and a table, if you like there are two TV trays inside that you can take outside to enjoy outside dining if you like. There is also outside lighting around the deck that can be turned off by unplugging.
When you arrive there is a dedicated parking spot straight ahead next to the cabin. If you have an EV, Charging maybe available for extra funds if needed($5 a night charges 10-12MPH). Please speak to host before just connecting. We only have J1772 so Tesla owners will need an adapter. If you have more then 1 vehicle the other vehicle can be parked outside of the property on the road it is only 50ft away from the cabin and there is not a lot of traffic here as there is only a handful of other properties in our section of the neighborhood.
Our neighborhood has a couple river access locations including a park. But, if your really looking for adventure then you will have to check out all the hiking trails that this area has to offer up the mountain loop highway, just don't forget your Northwest Forest Pass which can be purchased in town if needed.
