About this property

Welcome to the SunRay Shire home of SunRay Kelley and Bonnie Howard. We are natural builders and our homes have appeared on MTV Cribs, Home and Garden Channel, in New York Times and Lloyd Kahn’s books Builders of the Pacific Cost and Tiny Homes.
We have hosted many travelers from all over the world and from all walks of life in the unique structures on the land. The country quiet is only 10 minutes to the quaint town of Sedro Woolley and 15 minutes to city of Mount Vernon, home to the Lincoln Theatre and many excellent restaurants.
This rugged 9 acre property has walking trails, mountain views, gardens, apple orchard and many examples of handcrafted, sculptural homes and structures.
The Stump House ID#1541586 and Mush Room ID#1541712 are adorable little cold water cabins set in a stand of giant fir and cedar trees. Each cabin overlooks a different trout pond. Each cabin has electricity, cold water sink, tea station and wood fired heat in addition to electric heater November through April. The cabins each have a comfortable double bed. The Stump additional has an easy chair that fold out into a small single bed to accomodate a child or third guest. Bring your rain boots fall through spring as the trails get wet and muddy.
Guests are welcome to use and socialize in the beautiful outdoor kitchen located in the apple orchard. The cabins share an outdoor, composting toilet and outdoor shower house. The rustic nature of our property is not for everyone but those who are looking to unplug, reconnect with nature and enjoy whimsical creations will not be disappointed. If you have mobility issues our property is not a good choice for you as the parking area is at least a 100 yards away from the cabins and requires a walk down an earthen trail.
We are blessed to live in the forest on Cultus Mountain in North Western Washington. The trees, mountains, clean water, earth and air nourish us body and soul. Come breathe, relax and walk in the beauty of nature. Blessings to all from SunRay and Bonnie!

FYI: November to April wood fire is required in addition to the electric heat to keep the cabins warm and cozy. Wood fire heat takes time to start and to heat the cabin. To make your winter stay warm and comfortable good communication with us about your arrival time is essential!
Let us know your ETA, at least by the morning of your arrival, so we can schedule a fire starter for your cabin. Please update us if your plans change and confirm your arrival time when your GPS says you are 60 minutes away to have your fire lit and cabin cozy warm for your arrival.
Because guests are so frequently late we do not start your fire until you have messaged confirming your gps time of arrival when you are an hour away.

The little one-room cabin was cute as all get out. The one thing I did not understand was the bathroom was an outdoor composting toilet and the kitchen and showers were also outside. While I spent many years hiking and backpacking I am now 79yo and don't really enjoy peeing in the pouring rain in the forest in the middle of the night. My husband is 87 and not really able to withstand the cold and wet. They do have a nice big home they rent thant has all the amenities. The hostess was wonderful.

Great overall

The stump house was great. The view was perfect. It was exactly what we wanted. Only downfall were the people staying in some of the cool houses weren’t very nice. We were exploring and I guess we shouldn’t have. The man was very upset with us.

SunRay Shire Stump House Stay

We had an amazing stay at the Shire, it is truly a magical place. Bonnie and Eli were warm and welcoming, inviting us to explore and use the different buildings on the site, which we did. It was a gift to visit and explore, a perfect place to relax and recharge in the forest.

About the host

Hosted by Bonnie Howard

Growing Up In The Cascade Mountains Of Western Washington I Developed A Profound Love Of The Trees. Over The Last Forty Five Years I Have Developed An Organic Style Of Round Pole Timber Framing That Celebrates The Beauty Of The Natural Forms Around Me.
My Goal Is To Use My Architecture To Reconnect People With Nature And Their Own Playful Imaginations So They May Expand What They See As Possible.

Why they chose this property

My property is part of my Grandfather Janicki's original homestead. Grandma and Grandpa were Polish immigrants. My Mother moved with Grandpa and Grandma to Western Washington from Chicago in 1920. She was the oldest of 10 children and was the first one in her family to speak English. The old growth cedar trees had been logged from the property when my Grandfather bought the land. I grew up on Cultus Mountain playing on those big old growth stumps, climbing trees and building forts in the woods. I never lost my love of doing those things.
