Welcome to my charming island home in the wooded Pacific Northwest! I invite you to settle in, get comfortable and make yourself at home. It is an ideal place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Stargaze on a clear night as there is no light pollution. The property is a very safe place with few neighbors and places to explore. The house is not shared with anyone, it will be all to yourselves.

Both bedrooms have Roku or Apple TV, comfortable queen sized beds and cozy linens, dressers, full sized closets and a view of the trees in the forest with private doors to the back deck with chairs, patio set and hammock. My home and property are very clean with lots of light and is comfortably furnished. The loft is not a ailanle for yuest use at this time

The house has a full kitchen. Coffee, coffee maker, tea and condiments are provided along with some breakfast items and snacks. No cable or satellite, but the wifi is very good.

Harstine Island has a bridge and is less than an hour from Olympia, 1.5 hrs to SEATAC airport and 1.75 hrs to Seattle, less than 1 hr to the Bremerton ferry and about 2+ hrs to the west coast beaches or Portland.

The house is close to the Olympic mountains for hiking, Lake Cushman for kayaking or to go boating or sailing in the Puget Sound. There are some nice golf courses in the area. The air is clean and crisp, there are lots of birds, we're close to the state park and cove. The property has a summer vegetable garden, apples and blackberries in the fall, a winter creek in my private park, and two decks. The fire ring may be used when there is no burn ban in effect. Fireworks are never permitted.

The town of Shelton is about 20 mins. away and has some fun festivals throughout the year. There are some things to do on the island and there is a farmer's market on Saturdays from May to early Oct. There is a great supermarket, quaint restaurants, shopping and antique stores in downtown. About 8 minutes away are some restaurants and gas. The closest restaurant is casual has a great lake view, bar and pool tables.

My place is NOT handicap accessible and it is not childproof. Only babies that are not walking or crawling and kids 12+ allowed. Infants are not counted as an extra guest. Please bring your own pack and play. No pets, extra guests, weddings or events, please. Cigarette, cigar, marijuana smoking or vaping or is not allowed in the house. You must be checking in and staying with your group (no 3rd party booking.) I am on the property in another building occasionally for some work. If there is anything you need, I am always available to help.

I hope you can stay! You’ll love the place as many others have!

    Immaculate cottage, comfortable and private. Beautiful woods . For over a week I was alone in cottage and at last four days girlfriends joined me. I felt so safe while I was alone and my friends absolutely loved the cottage. Our hostess was beyond words. If I had a question I texted her and had immediate response. I have stayed in VRBOs across the nation and this was the cleanest and most comfortable I have ever encountered. A plus was the beautiful kitchen outfitted with every appliance you needed. I positively will stay there again! Excellent WiFi and computer reception.. the grounds are beyond words!,,,

    We enjoyed our stay. It was very quiet as we hoped for. Good communication with owner. Just come prepared if you want to stay in. The next grocery is 30min away. On our way out, we found an amazing bakery that’s only 10 min away. It’s called Olympic Bakery and Deli.

    Very nice, clean home on a quiet country road with acreage and large lawn. House was very comfortable and well stocked and organized. Great front and rear decks overlooking large lawn and chicken coop. We really enjoyed the property and location close to the state park. The power did go out the last morning and couldn’t contact the owner. Turns out the power company was working on the line so we left early.

    Cooking was made a breeze with all the supplies, seasonings, all the extras that made cooking there so much easier. Coffee for the Keurig was supplied as well.. The beds were so comfortable slept solid all the way through, better than my beds at home. the place was so peaceful I could be outside, enjoying my coffee and not worried about anything interrupting my quiet. Lori responded quickly with all of my questions. I look forward to staying here again! this is definitely one of my favorite places that I’ve been to.

    This place is an amazing gem! If we could give it 10 stars we would! Well worth the extra drive from Shelton. Lori decorated the place for Thanksgiving and it will be one we will treasure at this cozy, beautiful cabin in the woods. Lots of walking trails and incredibly quite and peaceful. To top things off, we messed up and accidently arrived early, and Lori helped us rectify the situation. Thanks again, we hope to return soon!

    This is a very well appointed home. The kitchen was amazing. Only the garlic press wasn't great. Lots of extras...salt, pepper, sugar, types of coffee makers. My only concern is that the smell of dryer sheets was too strong for me.
