"An iconic, axe‑hewn spruce backcountry lodge from the 1930s that operates without electricity or running water but delivers exceptional comfort and hospitality; reached by a seven-mile trek over Deception Pass (or by horseback or skis in season), it is famed for its restorative, seasonal cooking (afternoon teas and candlelit communal feasts by cooks like Vanessa Stirrett with dishes such as rack of lamb, roast carrots with tahini, tzatziki, cast‑iron buns and mascarpone‑frosted honey cake), cozy daybeds, and historic charm—book well in advance and allow at least a two-night stay." - ByLindsay Anderson
