My stay at this cabin on Herron Island was magical. Beautiful views, a cozy and comfy house. Full kitchen. We saw deer and raccoons and lots of wildlife, plus a few fantastic sunsets. Absolutely quiet. Even the rainy hours were pleasant. We were there for a diy writers retreat, and it was ideal.

Wonderful secluded location! Perfect for getting away from everything. The views are AMAZING!! It's very quiet and wonderful for meditating or just sleeping in each morning. The house is gorgeous!

Wonderfully comfortable house in a stunning location. Herron Island is gorgeous and Chris and Heidi have a wonderful home. The deck is expansive with views out over the water and towards to Olympics. We used their grill and ate outside for almost all of our meals. The great outdoor space, direct stair (though many many steps as the houses are relatively higher up on the bank) access to beach, well equipped kitchen, comfortable living room with lots of windows, all make the house ideal. My husband and two small kids (4 and 2 yr old) were extremely happy and comfortable during our three night stay. Chris and Heidi were extremely attentive and made every effort to make we had everything we needed.

Herron Island is a vacation paradise with seals, dolphins, mountains, kayaking, and crabbing. Sharon's place is super tidy, comfy, and has all of the amenities for a relaxing vacation including a wonderful kitchen and piano. Sharon was very easy to work with and played the role of tour guide nicely. My only regret is that we should have stayed longer!

Beautiful place with a beautiful garden and lots of amenities in a very nice setting. We went on Labor Day weekend and had to wait a while for the ferry, so plan ahead for that if you're going on a long weekend. Really lovely quaint island with lots of very friendly deer!

家庭是美丽的,设备齐全。这是一个很短的步行到水在各个方向。很多鹿遍布全岛的。这是对我们的感恩节周末的好地方与另一个家庭。大足以让我们的6。

This was our second stay at Sunset Lagoon, and we loved it just as much. It was cozy and warm and we fell in love with the island even more!

Dale & Carol embody hospitality. They rent out this space, because hosting guests is something they've wanted to do. They encouraged us to truly make ourselves at home and take advantage of their various amenities. We kayaked, rowboated, fished, crabbed, harvested oysters. There were five in my group, and we had young and old. Everyone had a great time. Highly recommended!

We cannot say enough about our stay at the Sunset Lagoon. We felt instantly at home, and the living quarters were beautiful, well appointed, and oh so comfortable! Carol and Dale were such gracious hosts - taking is crabbing (and giving us the biggest one!), setting up a tent so we could stay on the beach out of the sun, and providing carrots for us to feed the deer. My girls were in love with the animal life, and we left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. We can't wait to return!!

An absolutely wonderful "get away from it all" experience. Dale and Carol were warm and welcoming and a joy to talk to about the area and hear their experiences. It was fascinating to learn about their lagoon and its occupants, oysters and clams. The apartment was a delight with new furnishings and lovely decor. Everything we needed was there. It made it easy to settle in, relax and enjoy our surroundings. We were mindful of the fact that the apartment is attached to the hosts space, which wasn't a problem for us. We had a very relaxing and quiet stay. We fed deer in the morning, took a walk on the pebbly beach, and made use of the kayaks and paddle boat that was so generously supplied for our use. It's a bit like camping (or glamping) as you need to bring all your food--no grocery on the island. And be sure to bring carrying gear for your refreshments on the beach as it is a bit of a hike back up to the house once you get down there. Such a unique spot with its lagoon and westerly views. It was truly an enjoyable experience and I thank Dale and Carol for sharing it with us.

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

It is hard to put into words how magical our stay was. The home itself is well maintained, well decorated and very comfortable. Our hosts communicated well and were always timely. The view from this home is unreal; every member of our group just took time to stare off and enjoy it. There is also a ton of comfortable outdoor furniture so you can lay about and enjoy the view and weather. This is the perfect place to get away and relax. The deer on the island will eat out of your hand! They are also constantly roaming through the yard, which is sort of surreal. My tips would be to make sure you bring everything you need to eat and drink for the whole time you're there. The house has two fridges so there is plenty of room. Once you get here you're not going to want to leave the island because you ran out of something. The ferry is super easy, we worried over it a whole bunch and it turned out to be very simple. Don't let the fact there is a ferry scare you away! If we had, we all would have missed out on a remarkable weekend. It was just perfect!

I booked Anne and Jim's house for a bachelorette weekend getaway with 8 women. It couldn't have been better. Anne and Jim met us right away off the ferry and brought us to the house and showed us around. The house was beautifully furnished, clean and well appointed; beds were very comfortable. The living spaces afforded so many options for us to gather around, to cook, to eat together. We loved our visits from the deer and raccoons, to watch us on the deck and see what we were up to. The beach trail is fairly steep down but easily accessed and the beach was lovely. The island itself is quite charming; quiet with dirty roads, houses, and a park and dock/boat launch. Thank you both for such a fabulous and memorable trip; we hope to be back.

We were met at the ferry by Leslie Sanderson, with a beautiful bouquet for my sister for her birthday. There were 4 sisters on a special weekend. The house is even more beautiful than expected. We had everything that we needed. It had 4 beds in 3 bedrooms, which gave us each our on bed. The soaking tub was wonderful. We fed deer and saw eagles soar. This would be a wonderful home for a family vacation in the summer.

这是多么惊人的观点!这家豪华的家庭里有上下甲板在那里我们可以坐下来,看水,即使在雨中(尼斯悬)!我侄女迅速选择了外面沙发上下层作为她的床上。主机安妮和吉姆走出自己的方式,以确保我们有我们需要的一切(包括蛋)。他们甚至帮助我们得到我8288年年迈的父母在串联皮艇! 这房子是在赫伦岛的南端,我们能够走小道下到海滩和环岛每天步行(惊人的,但不适合老年人)。 该岛是远程的,这正是我们需要摆脱,享受光荣的声音和我们的家庭。我们希望到明年夏天回归。

We simply could not have enjoyed Anne & Jim's home more. Four of us booked the Herron Island home for a 40th birthday Girls Weekend, and it was just the absolute best. Anne was super easy to communicate with & responsive. The ferry & the check-in were easy, and they even let us check in early because it was likely to be a busy weekend on the ferry. The home itself was gorgeous - even more beautiful than the photos show. We loved all of the outdoor space & made good use of all of the balconies. Jim stopped by early on Friday to be sure we had everything we needed, and we appreciated his thoughtfulness. We didn't want to leave & hope we have the opportunity to go back!

Donn was wonderful at communicating early and often. Even when we somehow didn't receive the information in the US mail, Donn quickly sent the information digitally so we would have what we needed for a seamless weekend.

If you're looking to unplug and unwind, this is the place for you! This darling cabin was the perfect blend of rustic and comfortable. Our group of one couple, a friend, and a family of 4 loved the unfussy, quaint cabin to celebrate a low-key Christmas. The loft was a nice place for kids!

DONN才精彩!回答我所有的问题(我有很多)及时,是礼貌和尊重的所有通信。所有的期待都清楚,手续与发送的指令......一个整体++

A beautiful home, right on the water! The perfect place to relax & unwind!!

Awesome place with incredible views!! Came with 4 friends for a yearly college reunion trip, and the kayaks and paddle boards were a huge hit! We would love to stay again- just know you have limited times to get off the island via a ferry, which we ran into some trouble with because of morning flights back home. Great place!!!

Lovely home with a gorgeous deck that overlooked the water. There were two bedrooms, on the main floor, with very comfortable beds. The loft had 4 twin beds. Perfect for a family with children. House was very tastefully decorated. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We had a great experience on Herron Island at Donn's house. I would definitely stay again.

Donn and Betty were wonderful, accommodating hosts. The house is beautiful and well appointed. We enjoyed having a bonfire on the deck and watching the seals play in the harbor. Also, my family had a blast feeding the friendly deer on the island! can't wait to come back soon!!

This was a fantastic place to stay at, nicely themed and relaxing. The view was great and there was tons of deer to watch. Incredibly clean house.

We loved our stay at Cedar Hollows. The house fit our large family very comfortably. Our children (ages 9 - under 1) loved the playground and being able to feed the deer. There was plenty of outdoor space for the kids to run around and play and the house was comfortable and bigger than I expected. The deck is AMAZING! We loved eating our meals out on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful view. Our family enjoyed the kayaks and it was so nice to have them available to use. North beach had a lot of little pebbles and we found several agates, which was exciting to my rock enthusiast son. All in all we had a great experience and we would definitely stay again. Thank you Alan and Dianne for making it so easy to plan and being accommodating to our needs!

Our stay at Cedar Hollows was absolutely delightful. The owners obviously take a lot of pride in keeping things tidy, as this was one of the cleanest houses I have ever been to. The furniture and decor seem newly placed, and organized with thoughtful care. The neighborhood is quiet and is a great place for a pleasant getaway. Our hosts provided all the practical necessities for cooking meals over the two nights that we stayed (utensils, cups, plates, spices, tupperware, etc.) and we never felt in need of anything in this regard. All in all, a great location.

I would highly recommend Alan and Dianne's place. We loved Herron Island and their home. They were wonderful hosts and had great communication. They were very friendly and helpful. The house has two separate sitting areas, a large deck, a playground, and the view of the Olympic mountains from the upstairs deck was amazing! Lots of seashell hunting, kayaking opportunities, deer feeding, etc... Great for the kids. We would definitely stay here again!

Diane's cottage was great. It was a great way to spend our last few days of our family vacation relaxing on the beach. The place was decorated in a cute beach them and had enough space that was perfect for my family of 5. My children had a blast feeding the deer. There is also this little surprise in the woods with a playground, tree house, and fire pit. We spend most of our days on the dock fishing and collecting sea shells on the beach. Our island hostess, Sharon was so kind and helpful and even was so kind to lend us her crab pot and squid jig which we were able to catch both. All the Herron Island locals are some of the kindest people we have met and helpful. I can not say enough great things about out experience. Would definitely recommend staying a Diane's place.

We loved having the deer come up in the yard every morning and evening. Feeding the deer made the whole trip for our grandson. The ferry staff were professionally friendly and the neighbors made us feel welcome. Seemed like home away from home. The only small drawback that could be an issue is the last ferry from mainland is at 7 pm, so you have to plan ahead carefully.

Dianne was a perfect host and our family LOVED the house and everything it had to offer. We would definitely stay here again and again. Beyond our expectations.

Alan and Dianne have a great space! Everything you might need seemed to be available. Very quiet with fantastic views. Thanks so much.

我们对赫伦岛一个伟大的时刻!我们得把我们的狗。我们上调上海滩环岛...最方式。有一个游乐场和一个指定的游泳区。当地人都非常友好。我们的孩子在这个岛上最响亮的事情。 机舱是伟大的。更多的空间比我们意识到在第一。我们四个人真的很舒服。而回家刷新和放松。床很舒适。房子是舒适,干净。厨房有我们需要的一切。我们使用的洗衣机和烘干机,我们来到回家。收拾干净的衣服,当我们回到家是很酷。 如果你去赫伦岛,这里有一些事情要记住:有岛上没有商店,所以你一定要带上所有的食物和饮料你。你总是可以乘坐渡轮回大陆,但谁愿意这样做呢?获取到轮渡码头月初。渡轮只能容纳约10多辆汽车,但他们会不断的旅行,只要有谁想要得到跨人。如果您决定环游小岛,准备弄湿。居民们建房子船/渔棚,一直到水边。

Diane was fantastic all around making our trip very smooth, giving us transportation, island, and cabin details as well as being available for any of our questions. The island is one of a kind, very walkable, and fun to explore. The cabin is quiet and comfortable, with a fantastic deck for humans as well as dogs. We look forward to staying here again and are already recommending it to friends and coworkers.

Had a great relaxing three days kayaking, feeding the deer and chilling out. Great spot very quaint and rustic. Nice escape from the crazy world. We will definitely be back!!

我们在这里度过了美好的时光。孩子们喜爱饲养鹿,然后从“内窗口”称呼对方。从主机,新毛巾,茶叶等总体很可爱的经历不错的功能。

我们在赫伦岛的住宿是美好的 - 房子是按上市描述非常多:远程和安详。空间,非常舒适,干净的手,你还能要求什么呢? 就像你可以在图片中看到,客厅和甲板可观赏水,这将是在夏天的时候华丽。我们住在二月,所以这是下雨了整个周末,但屋顶上的雨滴的声音本身就是非常舒缓和一个不错的,和平的安慰奖的。 一对夫妇摆渡提示:确保在轮渡有点早到达,因为只有10个左右的车适合就可以了。此外,一定要在主机的姓氏因为这是轮渡水手如何查找来宾通行证。

We spent a few relaxing days on Herron Island in July. The house, amenities, location and logistics were all as described online. Carmeta was very helpful, responsive and welcoming. The house was clean, but a little musty when we arrived. Opening the windows and airing it helped. It is important to plan trips off the island carefully as there are only a few ferries each morning and afternoon (plus lunchtime). If you miss the last ferry, which is not that late, you could be stuck. Life in the island is simple. With no TV and very slow Internet, we spent most of our time walking the island, reading and playing games. There are deer all over the island and they are very friendly. They will eat out of your hand. It's not necessary to have a car on the island. It's small enough that you can walk everywhere, and the property is right next to the ferry.

We went out to Carmeta and Pat's to unwind over a relaxing weekend and we were not disappointed. The island is so serene and beautiful! It felt so far away, but was so quick and easy to get to from Seattle. Carmeta is incredibly sweet and accommodating. I really felt as if she cared about us and our stay- she even gave us eggs, fruit, bagels, and baked us cookies! The house itself is charming and the 3 bedrooms are a great size for both small and larger groups. The huge, wrap around deck was absolutely perfect for sunrise & sunset relaxing! We loved the downstairs rec room with the pool table, bar, and super easy access to the beach. The island itself is fantastic! We LOVE the location of this house on the calmer, east side of the island. The walk around the island is incredible! It took us about 1.5 hours and was so pleasant and fun. I'd advise you to pay close attention to the ferry schedule and make sure you know the host's full name or they might not let you on. Everyone was so friendly, though, and there are deer everywhere- so cool!! This is definitely a place I plan on returning to with my family. Overall, I give Carmeta an A+ and can't wait to experience that relaxation and serenity again this summer!

We did not have the best experience with this air bnb listing. Our problems started when we arrived, we could not get in. Check in time wasn't until 4pm but the entrance wasn't staffed after noon. It mentioned a contact code but the code told us the call 911 for assistance. Karen did respond quickly when I called and asked what to do. She told me to "piggyback" another resident when they were entering, even though there was a sign specifically asking you not to. Once in we discovered the hot tub was empty. When we requested this listing one of the perks was a hot tub at the cabin. I checked the listing and that had been removed but I feel we should have been notified about the change. Yes, there was one at the lodge but that is open to everyone. Anyway, inside it was cozy but not clean. The floor wasn't vacuumed, the shower had a used body sponge inside and soap residue all over the floor, and the comforter on one of the bunk beds had a large stain. Access to a full kitchen was nice and it was great to have access to a washer and dryer. My daughter loved all the deer we saw and the private beach was wonderful. Overall though, we would not stay again.

House was perfect as a place to stay for my cousin's wedding. Pool and hot tub at the center were great.

We loved the community. Tons of fun things to do and very beautiful. We would definitely plan a return visit in the future. The home was very comfortable. The outdoor picnic table was rickety and should be replaced. This was our only complaint.

It was a little slice of heaven. Walking trails were awesome and beach is right there. One of the best vacations we've had in a long time. If you want to connect with nature and need some rest and relaxation you will find it here. Thank you Karen :-)

The description was accurate and we loved the walks nearby along the edge of the water. There were extra amenities and the bed was very comfortable

Karen was great. She responded to our questions quickly, and was reasonable in all requests. House was as described.

This is a quiet little gem on Harstine Island and we had a great weekend with Karen as our host. She accepted our last minute reservation and responded to all our messages promptly. The cabin is cozy and just right for a girls weekend away. Thank you!

Great location and very peaceful. Karen and her daughter met us to the gated entry and showed us their home and were very helpful and answered as many questions we had, as could. Both my wife and I are kayakers so being close to the water and having excess to the North Beach by carrying our kayaks was not a problem. Having 3 1/2 miles of private beach front was great and a joy. Access to the pool/jacuzzi and the club house was a treat. This is the only location where you'll find good internet connection, otherwise your cell phone (Verizon) will only have "1 bar". Being a "gated community" made it safe and very nice.

Hermosa vista de los Juegos Olímpicos, una gran cantidad de vida marina y una serie muy a favor! Gracias, Donn!

Fauna, paseos en bote, cordilleras, tranquilidad, calma, encantador y lleno del potencial de experiencias felices y recuerdos! Eso es lo que hace que esta casa en la playa se destacan. ¿Qué más se puede desear y no hay nada más que necesita aquí! Tuvimos un paseo en kayak tranquila muy agradable a las playas cercanas por las tardes aguas tranquilas por lo que el silencio se llenó de la fauna y aves cerca. Escogimos dólares de arena y conchas y volvimos a casa para cocinar y comer con vistas naturalezas paraíso. ¡Ver por ti mismo! También, sobre todo, un personal atento y generoso. El tipo de hospitalidad que usted espera. Gracias Donn y Sharon.

Tenía un tiempo fabuloso. vistas preciosas, cómodo hogar. Podríamos ver películas, kayak, y calentar a fuego. ¡Fue perfecto!

casa del lago de Donn fue un respiro maravilloso de nuestra vida de la ciudad ocupada y era justo lo que recetó el doctor. Independientemente de sus días normales, vienen aquí para relajarse por completo. La isla tiene su mente a otro mundo donde usted y sus vecinos pacíficos son los únicos habitantes.

Esta cabina de Herron isla era perfecto para nuestra familia de 4. Nuestros chicos encantó la estancia en el desván y la soledad de la isla era justo lo que necesitábamos. Nos quedamos a mitad de semana en primavera y que parecía que teníamos la isla para nosotros. Las casas están situadas justo al lado de la otra pero no nos encontramos con otra persona en cualquiera de las playas de todo el viaje. Nos sentimos como nuestra propia isla privada. Hermosas vistas de las montañas olímpicas cuando las nubes se abrieron. La cabina es cálido y tiene todo lo que necesita. Limpio y acogedor! Dormimos bien, visto películas, jugado juegos de mesa, llevamos a cabo los barcos y caminamos en la playa. Asamos hogueras en el pozo de fuego y el ciervo tomamos de las manos de los niños. Realmente no hay servicios en la isla así que venga preparado. Hicimos un viaje de un día a Gig Harbor y disfrutamos de las tiendas y restaurantes frente. Paquete de luz, no es muy mínima de almacenamiento para los elementos de la cabina, la adición de un pecho vacío de cajones o debajo de la cama de almacenamiento sería ideal. instrucciones del Donn son claras y detalladas que sabía exactamente qué esperar. Nuestra familia ya está recorriendo nuestro calendario para volver en el verano!

el lugar de Donn era increíble! La escapada perfecta del ajetreo de la ciudad a una isla secreta. Tanto la cabina y en el anexo eran muy cómodas, limpias y acogedoras. El paisaje a través de las grandes ventanas que se despierta a uno que es que sólo puede ser la mejor experiencia en persona y en vano describir con palabras. El acceso a playa privada, el barco y kayaks, la foca común (tal vez de leones marinos) y el ciervo, que se acercó a todo hecho por una experiencia muy trance, encantado y mágico de nuestra cabaña. Donn era un gran anfitrión, muy comunicativo y metódicamente con instrucciones detalladas que aseguró que nuestro viaje fue una experiencia cómoda y sin problemas placentera. El patio amplio (cubierta) sólo se ha añadido recientemente y que no podría estar más feliz con ella. No hace falta decir que este lugar es muy recomendable y ciertamente sería visitar de nuevo.

Tal una ubicación increíble y la cabina. Nos alojamos en la cabaña de Donn para un par de noches para ganar un poco de paz y relajación. Nuestra estancia fue muy cómoda y nos dejó sensación de frescor. El paisaje y el ambiente son excelentes. Muchas gracias Donn por tenernos en su cabina. Aclamaciones, Stephen

We were looking for a quiet place to reflect and do some writing and planning. The place was perfect for those activities. We live in the middle of Seattle and the utter quiet at night was so refreshing. I walked out to see the stars and almost ran into a young and curious deer. Also saw some seals playing in the water. This would be a great place if you want to kayak or get on the water, but it was equally great for just chilling. Being on an island like this was really fun and made it a unique experience. Donn was very responsive as were the people on the island that we met. The place had everything we needed. We used the electric grill to cook our dinners and it worked great.

Jeff & Cheryl were so accommodating as we were staying for quick weekend. We had a late arrival and then after 2 nights an early departure. They helped us feel welcome and taken care of, even in very cold weather for the area.

This was a great tree house experience. It's in a quiet area with wonderful hosts and beautiful surroundings. A great place for a walk on the beach but close enough to go to town for dinner. The tree house is cozy and comfortable too.

What a great experience! If you're looking for a quiet escape in the beautiful Puget Sound, you've found it. Jeff and Cheryl are a delight. The treehouse is perfectly equipped and beautifully finished. The location is ideal for walks along the beach and admiring the ocean views. It was our first treehouse experience. We loved it and hope to be back. Enjoy your stay!!

Jeff and Cheryl are incredible hostesses'! They went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable, had what we needed, and gave us great information on things to do and places to eat during our stay! The tree house is as beautiful inside as it is outside and although it is on the smaller side, it has the perfect amount of space for a couple's getaway! The hot tub, kayaks, and trail to the water make your stay at the Waterfront Tree House even better. My husband and I, without a doubt, would recommend staying here for a long weekend! We plan to come back in the Spring/Summer! Thanks Jeff, Cheryl, and Huli for an incredible weekend!

Jeff and Cheryl are wonderful. Great relaxing stay.

Jeff & Cheryl's treehouse is magical! Everything was perfect- the accommodations were perfectly clean and cozy and their property pristine. One of the quietest and most relaxing places in the world. Thanks again folks!!

Very cozy treehouse and friendly, accommodating hosts

Jeff and Cheryl were sweet and attentive hosts! The treehouse is tiny but even more charming in person, with fantastic details like recycled high school wood stadium seats as walls and railing and a deck of cards in the small drawer in the "kitchen" table. The place was well-stocked for microwave meal-making and they left us a bottle of sparkling cider and chocolates! The compost toilet is easy to operate and the hot tub by the water at night is truly delightful, complete with terry cloth robes. A small space heater keeps the treehouse warm and cozy - and the place has tons of great lighting. Jeff has a well-stocked binder of activities (including the tide table for the week!) and nearby food options, gave us directions into town the next day but also gave us space and privacy to enjoy the cove. The semi-secret access to the spit of land between the cove and the Pacific is a fun little adventure - especially going both at high tide and low tide. Bring your hiking boots! We were glad to have them in the car. Overall, an utterly delightful weekend escape from Seattle. We'd love to come back in the Summer.

The cabin was exactly as Denise said it would be. Check in was easy and communication with the host was a breeze. We will definitely be staying there again!

Denise's cabin was great! It's very cozy, and there are lots of walks along the beach very nearby. The biggest thing I was worried about was the "gated community" - that it would be too much like a packed summer campground. But even though it's relatively close to other houses, the woods are dense enough that it still feels very calm. We sat out on the back deck every night, BBQing, chatting and playing cards, and rarely heard anyone else. The nearby beaches are really great - there's one you can walk to in about five minutes, but we also got clamming licenses and dug up enough clams from the state park (off Yates road) to make a huge pot of clam chowder. It was great to have the kayaks to spend some time out on the water, too. There isn't a dining room table in the cabin, but we mostly ate outside. The one evening we ate inside, we pulled in some deck chairs and clustered six of us around the coffee table, which was just fine. Denise was very responsive, also. We would definitely stay here again!

The cabin was exactly as pictured and very cute. Denise went out of her way to make sure we got access to the cabin at the time of our arrival. She was very accommodating. The location of this cabin is exceptional. We felt very safe for our 3 year old to cruise around on a scooter that he found stored underneath the cabin. We were subsequently forced to purchase him a scooter once we got home. :) This cabin is very well equipped and stocked. It was a cinch to whip up a meal (with our own groceries, of course) without missing a beat thanks to the kitchen equipment, spices and condiments that were available. Saw lots of deer, water birds, seals. We drove up to nearby Lake Cushman on one of the days, but just staying on Harstine and taking in the shoreline and its "quiet noise" (as my son put it) was plenty relaxing for us. Thanks Denise! We hope to be back again soon.

We honestly couldn't have asked for better accommodations and are so grateful to have spent such a wonderful week at this cabin. Every single detail was in place to ensure good, quality, old fashioned family fun will be had! From a wonderful collection of family movies, as well as a few to enjoy once younger eyes are sleeping! There are board games galore and we had tons of fun with our children (ages 3 to 8) with a collection that had something for everyone. There are kites, bikes, scooters, kayaks and an inflatable boat that was perfect to take the toddler out on while the older two kids learned to kayak for the first time. We saw seals out on the water and had a gorgeous view of Mt. Ranier every single day. The gated community provided everything we could have asked for outside of the cabin...beaches, a heated pool as well as a hot tub, tennis courts and a wonderful play ground, walking trails through the woods where we were met by deer each day, the folks are friendly and welcoming. The cabin provided everything we could have asked for in a kitchen. The pantry had a lot of food (had we needed to supplement my meal planning efforts) there were plenty of spices and condiments, coffee and cream and one of the most beautiful bouquets of flowers I've ever seen awaiting us on the kitchen windowsill. The beds were quite comfortable and the kids loft was so welcoming with its bedding and assortment of toys to entertain the kids. There was plenty of storage and dresser space so we could unpack and feel truly at home. It would be our pleasure to return again to make new memories and reminisce about the week we just spent!!!

Denise was prompt getting back to me about the accommodations. The cabin was cozy and clean. My family and I enjoyed playing foosball and air hockey in the evenings and made use of the grill for meals. The location is beautiful. We brought our dogs and they enjoyed running on the beach--it is off-leash. In the evenings we either stayed in or went down to the spit and had a fire and roasted marshmellows for s'mores.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Denise's cabin. There were 8 of us, 6 adults and 2 young children. The cabin is rustic, but very adequate. It is nestled in beautiful woods on a beautiful island. We jogged, biked, walked the beach and swam in the community pool. Although we didn't meet Denise, she was very available through phone when we needed to speak to her.

The cabin was wonderful! It was exactly as we expected and it was the perfect spot for a girls weekend getaway. We had such a good time, and might come back next year! Thank you so much!

The cabin was fantastic, and Denise was very communicative and helpful with instructions on how to get there. Overall it was a very positive experience!

The Beach house was even more scenic than in the pictures. The house is very open while still feeling pretty cozy, especially with a woodstove for heat, and those views! It was the perfect escape while still being 20-30 min away from all the amenities in Gig Harbor. It is a great place for one or two couples or a small family to get away. Peggy was very kind and flexible getting us into the place and showing us how everything works. It was a little sparse on kitchen supplies so just know you might want to bring some of your own stuff if you plan on cooking at the house.

Werkelijk prachtige plek aan het water. De ruime kamers en badkamers. Oprit is een beetje moeilijk - maar ik was ook in een grote 4 wheel drive truck. Aanbevolen!!!

De locatie aan de waterkant is geweldig. Er is privacy en afzondering, hoewel de buren in de buurt. De buren kwamen we op het strand waren vriendelijk en gastvrij. Het huis is ruim en uitnodigend. Het was perfect voor een winter weg als gevolg van de grote ramen met het uitzicht op het water en de gezellige houtkachel hoewel het buiten regende. Kan niet wachten om weer te gaan wanneer het zomertijd.

What a beautiful place. The view was amazing and the sounds of the water, the birds, and even a seal or two added to the peacefulness of this spot. A perfect place for a walk on the beach which is covered with sand dollars and seashells. Glad we planned a night away from the city because Peggy's place was just what we needed.

Better than a hotel or a regular B and B, Lori's place is the perfect spot to unwind or explore the Hood Canal, Puget Sound and beyond. It was the best Air BnB experience we have had so far. Her house is scrupulously clean but homey and comfortable. The bed was super comfy. She has such a great collection of books that I had to take a picture of the books so I can find them at my local library. The room opens up to a beautiful first where you could see birds such as Blue Jays. Basically, the house and bedroom are exactly as described. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment and great breakfast treats. Be sure to partake of Lori's homemade jams and banana muffins. They are delicious. She also a great chicken coop and an adorable poodle named Bird, while we fell in love with. In conclusion, Lori's place is a beautiful, quiet retreat. It's exactly as described. When we needed help or suggestions, she was extremely helpful. For people who are concerned about privacy and host interaction, Lori gave us plenty of space and privacy. I would heartedly recommend this place to anyone.

Lori was a phenomenal host! My girlfriend and I arrived very late but Lori was understanding and helped us settle in quickly. She had coffee and breakfast ready in the morning and couldn't be a better host. Thank so much Lori!

Great location, wonderful vibes! Enjoyed our visit immensely. Peace, love, and applesauce, K & B

We arrived late and although Lori was not able to be there to meet us her father gave us a wRm welcome and was helpful in getting us settled. Her house is in a beautiful setting and we immediately felt at home there. Lori provided everything one could possibly need and more. The experience totally exceeded our expectations. Lori was warm and friendly, a wonderful person to talk to. We stayed only two nights but wish we were able much longer.

Lori has a beautiful secluded spot that is lovely, clean and comfortable. She is entirely affable and accommodating, none of my requests ruffles not a one of her chicken lover's feathers. Did I mention the chickens? Who knew they were so beautiful and friendly? And her dog, Bird. Well, he is now my BFF. Having him there made me feel so safe and secure. I cannot recommend Lori's get away enough. Book a stay with her - I promise you will be absolutely delighted!

Lori was very hospitable, respectful, and flexible with us even though our schedule was a little crazy. We will definitely be back!

I liked Lori's place so much I stayed an extra week. It is so peaceful and serene with gorgeous woods to explore. The park is within walking distance experience the coastline. I loved the private deck off the bedroom for working and having the benefit of an amazing variety of birds coming to the feeders. The hummingbirds were enjoyable to watch. I loved our conversations and the ability to cook for myself. Lori has a well equipped kitchen. On the days I didn't leave the island, it was wonderful having Bird (the poodle) as a fun companion on my walks.

Lori's place is a fantastic oasis in the country. She wasn't there to greet us but was super good with emailing and texting back and forth, so we felt like we were just dropping by a friend's house. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend, including great breakfast items, use of the kitchen, and eggs fresh from the hens! We sat on the porch to enjoy our morning cup of coffee and decided to skip our golfing plans; instead we just hung out for several hours reading and relaxing and enjoying the much needed peace and quiet. The place was just as described with country charm. We will definitely come back!

We had a wonderful stay in this home. It was a family reunion of sorts with guests from 2 months to 78 years old and we all enjoyed it. The beds were comfortable, kitchen well supplied, view marvelous and neighbors friendly. We took walks and enjoyed long talks on the porch. It was a perfect retreat. Amy was communicative and helpful - we arranged to pick up the keys on the way up and instructions were clear. Only complaint is that the upstairs shower needs a little tune-up/update. But, otherwise, our stay was just perfect. (There are even some friendly neighborhood deer who come around in the evenings - we loved seeing the two mama/baby pairs!)

The house had good beach access and privacy. We didn't get a chance to use many of the neighborhood amenities, but had a bonfire and enjoyed the view of the Puget Sound. We were able to comfortably fit 10 people. Amy was very accommodating and helpful.

Our host, Laura, was easy to communicate with and had a lot of helpful information about the area. The house was very roomy and comfortable for our family which included my husband, 4 kids and my mother-in-law. It was clean and well stocked with kitchen necessities, linens, and games/movies. The view of the Sound from the living room is pretty fantastic as well as the small meadow in the back where deer walk through every day. In fact, our kids were playing frisbee and the deer came by, coming closer to watch the game. So cool! The views and the amenities are even better than shown so we were really blown away by how amazing this place was. The beach area was our favorite with the rope swing, swimming, great shell hunting, gorgeous views - we even saw a whale swim by! All within a few minutes walk from the house. The neighborhood is a quiet gated community so we were able to use the pool, the playground (which was a really good one), hang out in the library, and play ping pong. There is even the occasional yoga class you can join in on. This is really a gem of a house!

Amy was great! Super easy to work with and had good notes on the fridge letting us know what was up. The house was lovely, super clean and large! And the beach was only a 2 minute walk away! The neighborhood is definitely very quiet, make sure to keep the windows closed if you're playing music or watching a movie! Thanks, Amy, for making our stay so nice!

This cabin was a very cozy spot for my friends and I to escape to for the weekend. With plenty of activities to do around the house and on the island, we had no problem filling up our weekend with fun stuff to do. We had 9 guests and were all able to sleep, relax and eat together comfortably.

We spent a lovely family Christmas in the Harstine Beach House. The house was well furnished and complete with a kitchen the best stocked we've ever seen. Our host Amy was responsive and easy to work with, and we were very pleased with the home and the neighborhood. We went for a walk on the beach every day (only a block away) and had daily visits from a deer with fawns.

This is a calm, fantastic and well-maintained vacation home in the very edge of the Harstene Island, with wonderful views of the beach from your living room. It has a positive vibe that pictures can't convey. It had 2 TV's, Internet which helped us watch some movies together when it rained. There were enough beds, pillows and towels for 7 adults and 2 kids. The Kitchen had tons of dining-wares, and cook-wares. We brought some supplies and enjoyed some good food during our stay. The barbeque/grill was great too, so just bring your favorite meat and beer, enjoy evenings by the patio, #grilling. The whole neighborhood is calm and cool, and the beach was right behind, so we went out for long walks. One of the 3 tennis courts was also located by the beach. The clubhouse is a 10-minute drive, it had pool table, ping pong, board games, reading books, Hot tub, tennis court, basketball court, kids play area, and a temperature-controlled swimming pool. All the guests we interacted at the clubhouse, and the whole island were polite and friendly. Would return again, for sure!

We had a great time at the home. Amy was responsive, very helpful, and made everything very easy. Checkin and checkout was a breeze. The house was just as described and the photos are accurate. If anything the house was nicer than expected. We enjoyed having plenty of space to spread out and being within walking distance of the beach. A highlight was spending time exploring the shore and lagoon at low tide. It was great being far enough off the beaten path that everything was very quiet, while also being in a convenient location to sightsee throughout the Olympic Peninsula, Mount Rainier, Seattle, Olympia, etc. We also made good use of the well stocked kitchen to make several meals. Near the house, we really enjoyed visiting the Harstine Acres produce farm (you can pick your own vegetables for meals!), and the Olympic Bakery and Deli for fantastic sandwiches and baked goods. Highly recommended!

Harstene Island is a beautiful, magical place! We had two families for the weekend and we all loved the layout of the house. Both couples stayed in the bedrooms downstairs, and the kids all stayed in upstairs! It worked out great! The house in is a beautiful setting with great porches and comfy beds. We will be back!

Vicki was gracious and drove us around this wonderful island. Her house is decorated beautifully and we are really enjoyed all of the space. We also enjoyed all of the amenities Harstine pointe has to offer.

The photos for this listing don't do it justice. It's tastefully decorated without feeling commercial. Likewise, I was under-prepared for just how family friendly this community is! The neighborhood is very quiet and one is as likely to see an electric golf cart as a slow moving car on the road. A great beach (complete with a swing to carry you over the water at high tide and a hose to wash the salt and sand off) is only a short 1/4 mile walk down the road. You get the best of both worlds here. Your home is nestled in the cool and shady forest, while your can escape to an impossibly bright beach at a moments notice. Head down to the end if the spit at low tide and you won't be able to walk without stepping on critters from the tidal pools! The island is a well kept secret. Your host is incredibly patient and welcoming. This is my favorite place in all of Washington! In fact disregard everything I said here...I want to keep it all to myself!

The setting was incredibly beautiful and home well kept. I loved the nautical decorations inside. Vicki was so kind and sent a message in the midst of our trip wishing us well. The neighborhood was very secure within a gated community. There are a lot of homes here but with the trees, one would not know it as it seems much less. All the trees and growth have been left in tack in this neighborhood and I loved walking through it,with the deceptice feeling of being more secluded. Wewere able to do a bonfire on the beach which my kids loved in firepits that are already set up. There is a lagoon to swim at your own risk as well as basketball courts, tennis courts, and an outdoor pool for the summer. The beach is rocky and my kids loved just finding colorful rocks and complete sand dollars there. The view was breathtaking from the beach. I saw several dear in several places in the community. At Vicki's place, we enjoyed sitting on the front porch in rocking chairs. There was a nice back covered patio as well. There were nine of us, so taking showers back to back had the last few people with cold showers and we could not all sit around the kitchen table to eat as there were not 9 chairs. We spread the used towels out to dry in the laundry since we used them within an hour of leaving, but were not sure what to do with used linens. We left the sheets on the unmade beds as I was not sure if we should strip them. I hope that was not wrong thing to do as we were wanting to be good guests and are new at house renting. The entire experience was rejuvenating and I felt like Vicki and Linda, a friend of hers whom we met was very hospitable and kind. It was like a little paradise!!

Vicki was beyond accommodating to us. Communication with us was above and beyond anything we've ever experienced with other rentals. She sent us information on things to do in the area in the weeks ahead of our arrival. The house was extremely well kept and clean and you can tell that she put a great deal of love into her home. Highly recommend!

The host canceled this reservation 58 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Vicki was very accommodating. Very communicative before my arrival about how and when to get the key. Met us to show us the house and even had some fruit and snacks waiting for us. Neighborhood was very quiet and relaxing. Lots of trails to walk and close to the beach. Saw deer daily. Lovely time.

Vicki welcomed us and gave us a tour of the facilities and house. Her family was so sweet to my kids!! The house has everything you need to be really comfortable and is in a quiet and beautiful location. Lounge on the back porch and watch the deer, so wonderful! Miles of walking trails, spectacular views, serenity - it's all here. We took votes and decided that we will have to come back and discover more of the beauty. Also the Hartstene Island Pointe community is very friendly. A really nice place to be.

What a wonderful place and host. Laura was very prompt in answering any concerns or questions and made us feel welcome in her place. We had 5 adults and two children. The beach was awesome to sit and watch the tide come up and searching for sand dollars and crabs was a blast. On our last night we had a fire on the designated fire pits on the island and the stars and view was unforgettable. Very beautiful hiking nearby in two state parks as well as breathtaking views of the olympic mountains in Hurricane Ridge. Highly recommended!

Anne made us feel welcomed. We loved the house, lots of room. Pictures didn't show the upstairs room (which the kids loved). Location is great, easy walk to the beach.

Excellent location, wonderful island, ideal to relax. All contacts with Laura were perfect. Strongly recommend

Laura's place is a lovely, quiet spot away from the bustle. Her communication and welcome was superb. Thanks!

The following message is just my personal opinion because Laura and I have some conflict. First, there are three bedrooms in the house, but there is only one moster bedroom photo (no curtains in the room and people outside can clearly see the inside). The other two rooms I will describe. Her son's room has a single bed and add a single bed next to each other. (The added that is not very comfortable). Attic room is the third bedrooms and there are two beds (enclosed space). One important notice that hot tub is not private. It belong to community (public). You need to drive to the community club in order to get hot tub. Secondly, I want to talk about my trip. First you need to detemine an accurate time in order to ask someone let you enter the community. After entering the house, the master bedroom toilet is out of service. Landlord had remind me, but it's the second day after I had made reservation. And it is still out of service during my two-day stay. Thirdly, I'd like to share our problems. We accurately cleaned house preferly including cleaning the deck's leaves and strip beds in the laundry. (cannot understand we still need to pay $80 clean fee). The problem is some of us are smokers and two-day sleep made bed sheet have cigrette smoke. The landlord asked us to pay around $400 (more ridiculous is that the landlord said the sheets were washed twice and bed sheets still have cigarette smoke). BTW, we did not stay at her house for the whole day. We need to buy some food in the surpremarket out of her community and went to some near attractions. Some of us would smoke during that time. The house is non-smoking. We followed the rule. (If we smoked in her house, she can easily find and make a complaint to us because she even find bed sheet have cigarette smoke after washed twice.) Overall, it is my person opintion and the feedback may include the bias. I cannot sleep tonight because of this travelling, so I spend half house to write this feedback in order to let myself calm down.

Laura is a great host! She answered my every question promptly and patiently. The house is marvelous - spacious, comfortable, clean, and fully stocked with everything you need, including condiments. The view out the front window is mesmerizing. The setting in the woods is calming and quiet. Being in a gated community also made us very comfortable out with the grand kids at the community pool or the park playgrounds, both of which were great fun - the pool especially as the sound water is still very cold. Enjoyed our walks on the paths and the beach and kayaking is fun, though be mindful of the currents mid-channel as the tides change. Overall, very highly recommended. Tom from Texas.

Laura's place is spotless, comfortable, and beautifully situated. A good, do-able beach walk/hike for those with little ones: Take a left from the house, go down to the beach, take a left at the bottom of the steps, walk to the spit, walk up from the beach to join the bluff trail and head back toward the house on that trail. Perfect!

Our time at Laura's home on Harstine Island was everything we expected. The home was comfortable, welcoming, peaceful and well appointed. The views from the living room, kitchen dining area and deck were amazing. The beach is just a short walk from the house. However, for people with young children it is helpful to know that you can not actually visualize the beach from the deck (you can not send your children to the beach and supervise them from the deck). The access to the private community's ammenities including the pool, hot tub, tennis courts and hiking trails were nice perks. We were warned ahead of time that there wasn't much in the way of nearby groceries or restaurants, so we did bring our food for the week with us which worked out well. Everythng was ready for us when we arrived, and there was prompt attention to our inquiries.

我在萨拉的小屋住宿很可爱。莎拉给了大家正确的信息,使我们的到来变得轻而易举。有一瓶香槟等着我们在冰箱里!我们花了我们大部分的时间都坐在甲板上阅读,享受阳光。莎拉有一些靠垫为户外椅,我真的很感激 - 它很高兴能坐很长一段时间,并保持舒适。有一个营在路的尽头,所以有的时候,我们听到非常兴奋的孩子皮划艇在海湾的声音。这是只针对一两个小时,虽然,它是一种甜蜜的看他们打球。厨房是非常齐全的,我有一个简单的时间寻找我需要的东西。租赁厨房大多是令人失望的,但不是这一个!很干净,有所有你需要放在一起美味餐点的基础知识。整个地方是非常干净和有组织的。该社区是和平的,虽然有点更密集的比我想象(邻居都只有几英尺远) - 但是是正确的在水面上,从城市这么短的通勤 - 我真的不能抱怨。我很喜欢服用短距离散步的主要道路。野花,空气清新吨。

This cabin was airy and spacious, nicely furnished, overlooking the water. It is very quiet and the hummingbirds do barrel rolls all day long to the many flowering bushes surrounding the property. We saw eagles, blue herons, ducks and geese, but most importantly it was peaceful. Everyone was quite comfortable. It's close enough to get groceries and a local bar/restaurant, the Home Port - for throwing some horseshoes. We all enjoyed just hanging out on the huge back porch overlooking the water, and we also went down to the dock for drinks (plenty of lawn chairs) and canoeing. Sarah was attentive and was quick to answer questions. It's a treat and all of us thought we would rent this "Peaceful Cabin on the Cove" again when next we visit.

Sarah has a truly beautiful home. We stayed here the weekend we got married, and having such a quiet and peaceful escape from wedding madness was such a gift. We loved sitting out on the patio and watching the water. The house also provided a beautiful backdrop for wedding pictures, and once our photographer took a few pictures of me getting ready with my bridesmaids she decided to do the first look pictures with my husband and me out on the beautiful dock. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! Thank you!

我们一群朋友有一个美好的周末在萨拉的小屋放松。这是非常齐全,从内到外,空间是干净,舒适和温馨。虽然邻居们都接近,有没有人左右,而我们在那里,所以它确实是和平的。我们不介意听力和湖泊仅在道路上激发营员 - 这是一个夏天的声音!我们享受独木舟,桨板和海滩,以及探索一些什么样的地区所提供的。莎拉是及时和有效的在她的信函。

Beautiful, well kept cabin and really friendly experience. I loved the view! It was hot when we arrived but there was fans that solved that even without use of the air conditioner. The beds and couch were comfortable.

A splendid stay! We were hoping for something tranquil in the middle of a very busy and stressful weekend. We took advantage of their full kitchen and prepared some lovely meals and then left our cell phones at the cabin to row around the lake. Such a sweet two days.
