Clean, quiet, serene

Beautiful little cabin tucked away in the woods. Although it is in a neighborhood, it has lots of privacy and the view is wonderful. The house was spotless, and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed the coffee and equipped kitchen as well. Would definitely stay there again!

Great location, a short trail through the woods gets you to the beach and Gig Harbor is an easy 15-minute drive away. Home was cozy, ideal for solo or couple travelers for a weekend; my husband and I stayed for a week, and it felt a bit cramped for that long of a period as there weren’t dressers or space to put our clothes. Check in was easy, when we texted the cabin’s operations manager about a lack of laundry detergent (which Vacasa/Vrbo had said would be provided) the cabin’s operations manager responded the next day and had some dropped off. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the deck and fire pit were especially nice!

Peaceful & Relaxing Cabin!!

The cabin was perfect for my visit to my hometown Gig Harbor WA..The cabin had everything- a cozy fireplace, super comfortable furniture & bed, and an awesome view of the Puget Sound from the living room. The short beach trail had incredible giant trees , a creek with a little bridge , and a beautiful green lush forest. The beach views were absolutely spectacular! I had the best stay!!Will for sure return for my future trips to the harbor.

As Peaceful As It Gets

The house was amazing. You could see the Sound from the front windows and just a short walk down the trail and you are there. The small garden was very nice and accessible. I was working throughout the week but my wife loved every minute we had there. Any time we return to the area we will be staying here if it's available.

Restorative Stay

Lovely stay at a well-decorated cabin. Beautiful view from the front deck of the Sound. Peaceful (mostly except for the occasional carpenters working on a nearby home). Overall, you won't regret choosing this rental! Please think about supplying a box of tissues for the cabin...thx!

Private, Peaceful Refuge

My husband and I spent two nights in this lovely little cottage. The view of the water (and easy access to the beach) was so nice. The furniture and amenities in the cottage were very nice: tasteful and pretty. The cottage is close to state parks, Gig Harbor, and Tacoma (Point Defiance Park was a special treat!). It was a perfect balance of convenient location, while also feeling secluded, private, and peaceful. Thank you!

Our Cabin Stay

Overall 5 stars. Loved the ease of finding the place and where it was located. We enjoyed seeing 3 deer in the yard. The bathroom needs a small shelf or rack for personal bathroom items. We only had the floor. Small problem.

Nice stay

Nice quiet little place to stay and unwind, with the beach a short walk away down an enchanting boardwalk through the woods along a babbling brook. Straight out of a storybook.

Very nice cabin with a path down to the water. The cabin is well-equipped. We were there for a week and it was convenient to prepare our meals there and also do laundry. We enjoyed the deer we saw every day and the garden was beautiful. We will definitely stay here aga when we are in the area.

Beautiful mini cottage

I don’t know much about cottages but all I can say is the place was beautiful. It was super cute and peaceful the neighborhood is lovely and felt safe. The beach was just a little walk through the woods. The company( Vacasa) was great to work with Donna responded asap to any concerns we had. I would definitely book through Vacasa again! :) The only complaint is I wish we would’ve stayed longer so we could do more exploring and relaxation at the beach!
