We have both a short-term and long-term rental opportunity at Wise Acres cooperative Association.

We are building an ADU on our property so I ( Elisha) can live on a single story and, because we no longer need a large family home.  We have families with kids in our community and we are excited to open our home to add to that demographic.

Short term: We have a shared-house rental opportunity that can last a few months (are you curious about living in community and want to dip your toes in?), up to approximately a year, ending around August 2026 (Are you looking for a longer experience of community and are potentially interested in finding a way to and put down roots?) 

We live in a three-story house. The top floor is a master suite with a large bedroom, a smaller room that can be used as an office or perhaps a child’s bedroom, and a full bath with bathtub and shower. The middle floor is where the kitchen, living room, and dining room are found, and the bottom floor is a bedroom, an open living area, and another bathroom. (photos below)

We live on the bottom floor and are open to renting the top floor. The middle floor would be shared. Rent is $900 plus community dues (approx. $60/month per adult) and some utilities (a portion of electricity, and phone if you want a landline).

We are in the process of building an ADU on our property, attached to the main house, and there will be significant construction going on over the next year.  Because of this, we are negotiable on rent.  

Long-term:  Starting around August 2026, we will have a (2,400 sq ft) home to rent (see above for description and below for photos) in our community. We are excited to create an opportunity for a family to join our vibrant and deeply connected community.  We are looking for people interested in the joys and benefits of community, as well as the work and commitment involved in building deep relationships and tending the long-term health of the community. Rent is $3,000/month, plus community dues (approx. $60/month per adult) and some utilities (electricity, and phone if you want a landline).  As a renter, we would share our patio, yard, and driveway with you.

We are starting our search early because it can take time to get to know each other and for you to get to know the community.  We are hoping to find renters interested in being here for years to come!

Who are we?

Rain Family

Nils and Elisha Rain. We moved to wiseacres in 2000 and raised our daughter here. She is now 26 and living in Seattle.

Historically we have been avid outdoor enthusiasts, backpacking, kayaking, skiing and still try to get outdoors as much as we can!

I (Elisha), am a former registered dietitian nutritionist medically retired due to multiple sclerosis, so I’m mostly home during the day. I spend my time doing physical therapy, reading, doing community administration work, various volunteer jobs, and making art. I was a fine art major undergrad focusing in photography and I’ve recently been tracing my roots back to that part of my life

Elisha
Nils

Nils is a former paramedic and now a high school teacher teaching firefighting and emergency medicine to juniors and seniors at the regional technical education high school.  During the school year, he is gone during the day. He loves cooking, picking locks, working on building or repair projects, or learning anything and everything.
