About this property
Cozy Forest Escape • Private Hot Tub • Trails & Gnome Walk • Near Beach
Welcome to Huckleberry Cabin & Trails, a peaceful forest retreat tucked into 10 private acres on beautiful Harstine Island. Surrounded by towering cedars, maples, ferns, and woodland trails, it’s a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and leave everyday stress behind.
Relax in the private hot tub nestled among the trees, gather around the year-round fire pit, or explore the property’s winding trails, including our charming gnome trail hidden in the woods. Whether you’re enjoying morning coffee on the patio, watching wildlife along the trails, or soaking under the stars, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to unwind.
Inside, the cabin is warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with a queen bedroom, kitchenette, cozy living area, kids’ loft, and everything needed for a relaxing stay.
A 2/10-mile walk/drive down the road leads to our community beach property on Puget Sound, where you’ll find Adirondack chairs, a picnic table, a fire pit, and beautiful water views. It’s a peaceful place to watch wildlife, enjoy the view, catch a beautiful sunset.
While the owners live next door, the cabin, hot tub, trails, and outdoor spaces are designed to provide guests with privacy and a peaceful experience. We’re nearby if you need assistance or local recommendations, but we respect your space and want you to feel completely at home during your stay.
Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a quiet retreat, or a base for exploring Harstine Island, Huckleberry Cabin & Trails offers a comfortable and memorable escape surrounded by nature.

Such a wonderful spot! The cabin is cozy and has everything that you need. We really loved the new hot tub and had the best morning walk on the gnome trail! The hosts made us feel welcome and gave us the perfect amount of privacy. We will be back again

Cute cabin, wonderful property and beautiful areas to explore. We had a fantastic trip.
We loved our stay at Ruth and Scott’s cabin! The cabin itself was cozy and warm, perfect for huddling up together on a chilly winter night, and very thoughtfully stocked with some delicious scones. The hosts also provided some very useful directions on accessing the more out-of-the way park on the island, which provided a perfect short hike with our dogs. The dogs themselves enjoyed all the trails around the property with plenty to sniff, and we were tickled with the gnome trail. We’d love to go back again!

The cabin and property had all the sweet cozy touches of comfort for a relaxing getaway!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this sweet spot on Harstine Island. Loved the cabin, the grounds, and beautiful location, near a lovely saltwater beach.
Beautiful location with everything we needed and more. Enjoyed the property and amenities with our dogs. Great place to stay to get away from life for a bit.
I needed a quiet place to stay while in the Shelton area and this is it! Lovely location and the owners live close by if you need anything. I highly recommend this VRBO!
Wandering trails through the woods with a little stream babbling along. Lots of spots to sit and ponder or relax. Plus a cozy cabin to curl up in. What's not to love.
We had an amazing time relaxing on a beautiful property in a nicely appointed little cabin. The trails on the property were great for our dogs and the owners are very nice and thougtful. A
My partner and I had a nice, serene time at the huckleberry house. We thought the extra touches the hosts put into the cabin were thoughtful. The cabin had a very cozy atmosphere and the forest trails were beautiful. Thank you!
Everything about the stay was amazing. Directions to the cabin were perfect, they left some really yummy huckleberry bread for us, the instructions for the hot tub were perfect. Ruth and Scott gave us plenty of privacy, but responded to our messages and texts promptly! The cabin itself was super cozy… we watched movies (even got the DVD player working!), had romantic meals by the fireplace, played some games, went out to explore the island and nearby yarn store, and walked around the property looking at the fruiting mushrooms. If I could stay forever I would. Thanks again you two!!
We really enjoyed our weekend at the cabin. Our dogs did too. The trails on the property were perfect for morning walks. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, always responded quickly and were helpful during our stay. They have a nearby community beach where you can clam which was so convenient. Close enough to town to go there for groceries and meals.
This cozy cabin is located on a beautiful wooded property behind a main house.Out hosts were welcoming and helpful, the area is quiet and relaxing.The cabin is well equipped with all the necessities for comfortable stay.We enjoyed it a lot.
I would recommend this property to anyone! The hosts were amazing and very helpful. There was anything that you could need in the cabin, and the space was clean. I would give this place more than 5 stars if I could! I can’t wait to book another trip there with my kids!
