Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
With a beautiful waterfront position overlooking an inlet of Puget Sound, this home in Shelton is a place to relax and unwind. You'll have three levels of decking with a view of the water, access to a dock that's shared with a neighbor, and two kayaks to take out on the sound each morning.
The front of this property is shaded by evergreens and the rear open to the water's edge, with stairs leading down to the pebbly shore and a ramp connecting to the shared dock. You can begin each morning here, with a quiet paddle on the water and a cup of coffee enjoyed on the lower-level dining deck, the main-level deck off the living room, or the balcony off the main bedroom upstairs.
Inside, you'll find a casual kitchen with full-size appliances and a two-sided breakfast bar with seating for four. There's a gas grill on the deck to assist with meal preparation, a washer/dryer to refresh the day's damp clothes as you eat, and a wood-burning stove to warm you as you read or play games in the living room. There's also a Netflix-equipped flatscreen TV upstairs in the loft for movie nights.

Needs a detail Cleaning
Loved that the cabin had all that we needed, blankets, games, seasonings, pans, towels etc. no complaints about that. It was very quiet and easy to locate.
We had no choice but to head out from Tacoma with our baby still not knowing how to get into the house on our day of arrival. We use T-Mobile which has modest to poor service in rural areas so it was not reassuring! I was ready to book a motel in Shelton if we had to. Standing in front of the door at 4:30 we got a text with the code. I guess they had my email address wrong! Whew! It was a very nice stay after that.

Not Clean...
This property was not clean upon arrival. We found dog poop in the TV area by the chair. If the cleaning staff doesn't see dog poop, I can't imagine what else they overlook. They said they would refund $100, but haven't seen that yet.
The communication with the management company wasn't great. We asked if lifejackets were available (since there were kayaks there) and we told no and we would have to bring our own. We purchased one lifejacket as a result of this communication. When we arrived, there was a chest full of lifejackets...so we purchased one for nothing. Every time we talked with someone, it felt like AI.
This is a great location and the water access is also great. It's a very quiet area and that was nice.
There are a lot of good things about this cabin, but finding dog poop on the floor really made our stay less enjoyable.

Very disappointed…dirty, extreamly outdated and unfinished with rusty water
The pictures are some what deceiving. We really wanted to enjoy this retreat! The inside smelled and looked by the dirt and dust in the floor and counters as though it hadn’t been cleaned and stayed in for awhile. Some of the plates, pans and silverware still had food and or grease on them. The walls above the shower hasn’t been finished; had the studs showing. The bathroom sink moved around a bit on the counter. Worst of all, the water had light orange color coming out at times. We could smell the rust or iron coming from the water when taking a shower and hand washing dishes. The coffee also had a funny taste due to the water.
Aside from all that, the setting of the house in front and off the back to the water was cozy and relaxing.

Not Clean...
First the bad...After arriving and putting our things away, we found dog poop on the floor upstairs by the TV area. Unacceptable. If they didn't ensure that dog poop was removed, what else wasn't cleaned? The overall cleanliness wasn't great, but this is an older cabin and some of that is understandable...but not dog poop. The managing company says they will refund us the cleaning fee. The communication with the manager was not great...often feeling like we were speaking to AI. Before we got there, we asked if there were lifejackets available (since the property had kayaks) and were told no. So, we purchased a lifejacket. When we arrived, we found a basket full of lifejackets. The listing says there are 2 kayaks, but there are actually 5-6 kayaks. We brought 2 kayaks with us and probably wouldn't had the listing been accurate. Now the good...The location is great. Water access with use of kayaks is great and we took advantage of that. It's a very quiet neighborhood and that was great. The big decks and outdoor space is great. Overall...I hope the cleaning issue gets resolved, because this is a great location and our viewpoint might have been different had dog poop not been our first experience.

Beautiful view and setting
We loved the water view, fishing off the dock, the ample deck space, and the comfy king bed. Very peaceful and restful few days at this rustic cabin!

Could be cute cabin on the cove
This is a very small but cute cabin in a cove just across from Harstene Island. It is a take on shabby chic but misses on comfort. The furnishing were once very nice but are simply too old and uncomfortable now. No good seat in the house. The patio furniture was a better option for comfort. Sadly, a cat had it's way with this little house at some point and after the third day the smell was no longer masked by the cleaning. The carpet upstairs was riddled with stains. It was a bit of a disappointment, really.
With some new carpet and a few small upgrades, this cabin would be a repeat destination. As is, I'd give it 2.5 stars. 😕
Wanted to love this place but we did not stay. Once we walked the house and saw the state of stains, disrepair and discomfort we immediately searched for somewhere else to go and left. Would be good for access to water but not a place to relax and celebrate.
We loved the peaceful and beautiful area. The beach house had a homey feel and so many amenities! The cove is calm and we saw so many birds and seals. We went into town for groceries and really enjoyed the slower pace. We hope to come back and do some beach combing!

Relaxing Getaway
We loved our quiet, relaxing stay at this quaint location on the beautiful Puget Sound. It has all the amenities you need, along with waterfront access with kayaks and a paddleboard provided. We enjoyed our evening kayak trips around the sound, followed by a warm nights sitting around the wood stove fireplace. For you wildlilfe lovers, this is an ideal location for birding and spotting various sea creatures. We will definitely be returning as soon as possible.
