Why hello there!

I'm Jewel. My wife and I are the owners of The Secret Land. We made our way nervously down the overgrown ½ mile driveway with keys in hand in December 2022. We decided shortly after moving onto the 30-acre riverfront property that we had to share it with others! We started with a massive clean-up of hoarded belongings left on one side of the property and a demolition process of over 10 outbuildings that month and hauled away tons of trash, cars, boats, buildings, and more. We started in the old farmhouse on the property making a home for our 2 children to enjoy.

We then switched to the riverfront side of the property hand cutting trails, limbing thousands of trees, and slowly, painstakingly in the February snow building an intentional space for guests to enjoy. We drove nails into reclaimed lumber, we shed blood with many…many injuries, and we doubted if it was possible. We made mistake after mistake and believed that if we just got up in the morning and did what was in front of us, we could welcome just one person to enjoy a still moment by the river, with campfire warming their boots, to sit and just be.

This property was a hidden gem for over 100 years and as the new caretakers of the land, it was up to us to make it come to life! We welcomed our first guest April 1st, 2023 and the rest is history. In 2023, we welcomed over 300 guests onto the land and are learning with each guest, and each conversation how important it is to keep working on this space for others. We’ve welcomed guests of all ages and backgrounds with stories that have kept us motivated, allowed us to celebrate, evolve our approach, change our vision, and opened our hearts.

Some moments particularly memorable have been a girlfriend who booked a stay while her boyfriend wanted to enjoy a day in the mountains after being diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer. A sweet family from the UK that was visiting Washington for the first time and spent 2 days cuddling our dogs asking to stay for a while longer, even offering to help us build our little cabin resort. A loving couple from Seattle who came back many times with gifts and food for our son. They helped us rehabilitate one of our rescue dogs and even jumped on our tractor to create a new area for the chickens. And lastly, all the questions, comments, and stories we’ve gotten from so many couples that ask us how to do what we’re doing. Those many conversations with young couples that want land, and space, and to share their passions but feel a little lost on how to start have really been a driving force. All these guests have held a large space within our hearts and kept us going.

All that’s missing is you! We’re looking forward to entering the next chapter of our little woodsy resort and in 2024, we want to welcome you to enter a place that’s been waiting for you. We invite guests onto our land with acceptance and kindness always. This is a safe space that my wife and I found to be one of the first places we can freely hold hands without stares from anyone; well beside a deer or owl. This land is particularly important as I have autism and it provides me with an important sensory experience.

We support you as you are. We invite you to the freedom of strolling this land owned by a loving couple who'd love to share our happiness and warmth with you today. We invite you as friends and hope you leave as family!

Cheers,
Jewel and Maile

★ Our Resort Mission ★

Our mission is to connect and serve people who want a lush experience on a casual budget! We're brand new opening in April 2023 and we're so excited to serve you. As a millennial couple--we understand things aren't always easy. But our land is a perfect getaway for intimacy, privacy, and casual relaxation. We're just getting started! Come stay with us and see what everyone's talking about!

There are 3 hidden riverfront beaches with sand and space to relax on our beach chairs. There are 30 acres of trails built just for guests to stroll. There's a secret island to explore if you travel through the vast forest. Discover some hidden views of the bamboo forest, stargazing spots, and wildlife wander.

★ Quality over Quantity ★

One of our values on the land is we offer experience over excess. The experience of privacy! We carefully plan each site to have privacy from others who may be enjoying the land. We don't want everyone to find us--it's why we're called The Secret Land! Across the 30-acre land we have two small cabins, one small RV, and one big RV each intentionally spread not to see the other. We'll be building a couple more cabins but we do not plan on milling our old growth, or overpopulation at our little riverside resort. We offer this quality over quantity promise so you can just relax with privacy.

Please reach out for more information about our resort or visit TheSecretLandinEnumclawdotcom.
