On the farm

Wagyu across the fence.

You'll often see our herd grazing in the fields, or in the big yellow barn where they spend the winter. Please enjoy them from outside the fences.

Want to cook some during your stay? Order our Wagyu at least 24 hours before you arrive, and we'll have it thawed and ready for you at check-in.

Arriving

What are check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is anytime after 4 PM, and check-out is by 11 AM. If you'd like help when you arrive, please get here by 9 PM. After that we're off for the night, but you can still settle in on your own.

Is there parking?

Yes, free parking right next to the Barn Cabin.

How many guests can stay?

The Barn Cabin is made for two adults, with one queen bed.

Is there an age limit?

Yes. Because we're a working farm with machinery and livestock, all guests need to be 16 or older. The person booking must be 21 or older.

Can friends visit?

Yes. Visitors who aren't on your booking need a parking pass, park in the VISITOR area, and leave by 8 PM.

When are quiet hours?

Quiet hours are 10 PM to 7 AM, so everyone on the farm can rest.

Is the Barn Cabin open in winter?

Some weeks. In winter we open it a few weeks at a time, based on the forecast. In freezing weather it's closed, since there's no water or restroom then. Check the calendar for open dates, or call or text to ask.

How do I find you?

We're at 8402 Northwood Rd, about 3 miles from downtown Lynden. See directions.

The cabin

What's inside the Barn Cabin?

A queen bed, a heater, lights and power, a small fridge, a kettle and fresh drinking water, plus a counter with stools for meals or morning coffee.

Is the bed made up when I arrive?

No. Since the cabin is a barn on a working farm, clean sheets and bedding are stored in a tote for you, so they stay fresh and dry. Make up the bed with ours, or bring your own, whatever feels most like home.

Is there a kitchen or running water?

No. This is a glamping stay, so there's no kitchen or running water in the cabin. You'll have a small fridge, a kettle and fresh drinking water, and there's a sink with hot and cold water near the barn for washing up. If you'd like to cook, bring a small pan, a camp stove or a cooler.

What should I bring?

Simple cooking gear if you plan to cook, your favorite coffee or tea for the kettle, your own bedding if you'd rather, and clothes for the outdoors: layers, sturdy shoes and rain gear. A flashlight is handy for the walk at night.

Is there Wi-Fi?

Yes. We'll give you the code when you arrive.

Shower & restrooms

Is there a bathroom in the cabin?

No. The cabin has no plumbing. Your private portable toilet and a hot outdoor shower are a short walk away, under the lean-to by the barn.

What restrooms are there?

You have your own private portable toilet, plus a double sink with hot and cold water for washing up. In the colder months, your portable toilet moves right outside the cabin door.

Is there a shower?

Yes, a hot outdoor shower in a private, fully enclosed stall with a door and a changing area inside. In summer, our RV guests use it too.

Outside

What's outside the cabin?

Your own porch, a picnic table, two chairs and a fire ring, with open fields all around.

Is there a grill?

Yes, in summer, so you can cook some Wagyu right outside.

Can I have a fire?

Yes, in your fire ring. Firewood is $7 a crate from our farm store.

Is there a hot tub?

Yes, and it's private, at no extra charge. After you book, we send a calendar link so you can reserve your own time slot between 8 AM and 9 PM. The hot tub is behind our farmhouse, a short walk from the cabin, and it's yours alone during your slot. Slots can fill up, so reserve yours early.

Can we see the cows?

Yes. You'll often see our Wagyu grazing in the fields, or in the big yellow barn where they spend the winter. Please enjoy them from outside the fences.

Can I walk around the farm?

Yes. You're welcome to walk the fields and lanes. Please respect posted signs and stay clear of fenced pastures and equipment.

Are there security cameras?

Only outdoors, over the driveways. There are none at or near the Barn Cabin.

Dogs

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, one dog under 50 lbs. A pet fee applies. Your dog stays on a leash whenever it's outside, stays off the bed, keeps away from the livestock, and is never left alone in the cabin. Bringing your dog's crate or bed from home helps keep the cabin fresh for the next guest. An extra cleaning fee may apply for excess pet hair. Please read Dogs at the Farmstead before you book.

Our Wagyu

Can I order Wagyu beef for my stay?

Yes. Order Wagyu beef, eggs and more from our online farm store at least 24 hours before you arrive, and we'll have it thawed and ready for you at check-in.

Can I shop the farm store while I'm here?

Yes. The Farmstead Market is open Saturdays from 10 to 4. Any other day, call or text to set a time and we'll open it for you.
