About this property

Stump House at SunRay Shire

Welcome to the SunRay Shire home of SunRay Kelley and Bonnie Howard. Bonnie and I are natural builders. Our work and homes have appeared on MTV Cribs, Home and Garden Channel, and 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 in the unique structures on the land. The country quiet is only 10 to 15 minutes to the quaint town of Sedro Woolley and 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. The cabins have a double bed, electricity, cold water sink, tea station and wood fired heat in addition to electric heater November through April. Bring your rain boots fall through spring as the trails get wet and muddy. The Stump House additionally has a chair that converts to a single bed to accommodate a third.
The cabins share an outdoor, composting toilet and outdoor shower and bath house. Guests are welcome to use and socialize in the beautiful outdoor kitchen located in the apple orchard. The rustic nature of our property is not for everyone but those who are looking to unplug, reconnect with nature and enjoy some 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 and some stone steps.
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 30 to 60 minutes away to have your fire lite ahead of your arrival.
Because guests are so frequently late we do not start your fire until you have messaged confirming your gps time of arrival.

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.

Magical Forest Escape
My husband and I wanted a quick escape from the city, and this was the perfect peaceful retreat we were needing! The property itself is picture perfect with waterfalls filling ponds, enormous trees everywhere, and the friendliest deer you will ever meet. The Stump House where we spent the night, was cozy, romantic and very clean. We plan on making this a regular city escape in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Bonnie Howard

Host profile image
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.
