The Sea Container Cabin was created to bring the beauty of nature and the comforts of home together in one unique experience. Located on a gated, 5-acre, forested property, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, the cabin is made from two sea containers and features 2 bedrooms up, surround sound living room, and open kitchen downstairs. The Sea Containers are about 250 ft from the river bank which you can access down the trail over the stage behind Clay Baby, the gray cabin. There are 5 other small cabins on the property. They are usually filled with my family and I or other like-minded outdoor loving folks like yourselves. It makes for a perfect spot for a quiet getaway. Come and enjoy an unforgettable experience in the heart of nature. The new custom shared sauna and cold plunge located on the yoga deck is also at your disposal. They have been a big hit. We recently put in a frog pond fountain out in the front yard. Please look for the tad poles and water plants.
The Sea Contianer Cabin, private firepit, the acre of grass field, the private forest walking trails behind The Treeframe, and The North Fork of The Skykomish river. Shared sauna, cold plunge, yoga deck.
Please text with questions.
The Sea Containers are one of 6 small cabins clustered around a grass field on this gated 5 acre property perched beautifully on the South bank of the North Fork of the wild Skykomish river.
We now offer grocery service! Please send us your list to have your fridge and pantry stocked.
Please bring your own firewood.
The white marble lava steam shower has a floor to ceiling window that faces the forest. It is quite wonderful and designed so that the steam fogs the window for privacy. The Treeframe cabin is about 200’ away through the forest. It is very unlikely that anyone will be looking your way during your shower. If this makes you feel uncomfortable, you’ll need to wear a swimsuit in the shower.
Any additional guest must be cleared by host, additional fees may apply.

Such a neat concept! Interior was done well. Hot tub, box sauna were all sweet amenities— esp the steam shower! Spent the night to celebrate significant other’s bday. We ran into the host and his dog Cozy on the property— both super welcoming :) Thx for the stay!
We loved our stay at the Sea Container! My partner and I wished we had booked more than a night to fully experience all the amenities and nature surrounding the rental. The furnishings and all the details put into the home were so beautiful. Nick has been super helpful and communicative through the whole process! Thanks for an amazing stay!
We loved everything about The Sea Containers! Such a beautifully designed structure! So modern, so many luxury additions… felt like a mini resort. Even the lighting is uniquely designed. Footsteps from the Skykomish River, magnificent mountain vistas, swinging chairs on the porch, fire pit and hot tub on the deck! Amazing everything! If we can swing it, we’ll be back again!
Wonderful unique property. The host , Nick, was very responsive to any and all questions. The lighting and the fixtures in this unit are top notch. Would absolutely stay again.
Was a lovely well needed date night with my husband while my parents were visiting from the UK. Fantastic property with really high end features. I gave 4 for the online description as the stairs in the property are steep & very deep which was fine for us but may be tricky for some folk. Will definitely try & stay there again! Thank you Nick for Bri g super responsive to my questions!!
Very unique and fun cabin, very quiet and relaxing. This cabin, and all the others on the compound are right on the river, perfect location for fly fishing, hiking, climbing, and a trip to Leavenworth for a day trip. Nick the host, was simply the best, he has put a tremendous effort into this compound and it shows in every detail. I can;t think of anything that I would improve! I'll be back next summer for sure!

Really excellent! The amenities were quite luxurious, and the location can't be beat. Only notes would be that a stool broke the moment I sat on it and the other one seemed structurally unsound (I'm not *too* big, at 210 lbs). The stairs are also quite steep, and could be a challenge for those with mobility issues.
The sea containers minus the hot tub is what I got
The cabin is so unique and love everything about it. I was looking forward to have a balcony with a hot tub which was the main reason why I booked the sea containers, but the hot tub was broken and I was told to use the next cabin’s hot tub. So the online listing was inaccurate and I don’t think it’s fair that they charged me full price for it.
Staying at the sea container has been on my bucket list for a while now since I saw the treehouse. I was able to book a night in the middle of the week for a mini getaway. It was just my cat hot dog and I. It was perfect! Heated floors, beautiful fireplace. Amazing giant sauna with beautiful views of the river. My own personal steam room in the shower. Hot tub on the roof. Amazing trails to wander on. My only regret is I wish I had stayed longer. Nick was wonderful with communication and I couldn’t give them a higher recommendation. Worth every penny!
