Shelton, Washington
Surrounded by tall cedars our house is situated right in the middle of the amazing private community of Hartstene Pointe. A cozy front porch living room greets you. Then walk into a large great room with an 8 person dining table, a large well-stocked kitchen with a breakfast counter and a living room with 2 comfortable couches and a game closet for hours of entertainment, plus DVDs. Off the kitchen is a 3/4 bath with a washer and dryer. The back of the house has a master suite with a king size bed and a private bathroom with a large soaking bathtub. In the middle of the back hallway is a bunk room that can sleep up to 5. The last bedroom is in the corner with a comfy queen size bed and two windows looking over the forest. There are tons of board games, toys, stuffed animals and videos to keep kids entertained. Plus 10MB WIFI works great. Everything in the community is close by--hiking trails, beaches, seasonal pool and hot tub, clubhouse, lagoon for fishing, marina, tennis courts and more. You will not want to leave.
Everything was well stocked. Lots of family games to play.
We have stayed at this house so many times and love the way it is always so well maintained - so comfortable and fits our family just perfectly! The hosts are always so considerate and thoughtful, and we couldn't be more grateful! After a hectic fall season, this long weekend was just what all of our family members needed: time to read, walk, think, play and explore. Nailed it!
Very peaceful and great setup.
Our family has been fortunate enough to stay at this wonderful house and in this community a number of times now and this trip did not disappoint! The house was so comfortable, clean and well-stocked all we had to do was relax, recreate and enjoy! We've already booked our next visit and keep checking our calendars to see how much longer we have to wait until we can return! Thank you again!
The house was just as pictured. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we would need. It was handy to have pack n play and games for the grand kids. It was close enough to many hikes and a little longer drive to Olympic National Park. The weather was cool so we didn’t take advantage of the pool or beach but they looked lovely. We had no problems and had a great week here.
This home/community center was exactly what our family wanted for a short summer vacation. The home is a quiet, relaxing design at a great value and is close to a fun community center that is perfect for families. We could easily have spent 3-4 more days. The home itself is spacious, comfortable, and easy to use. The community center is an easy walk for kids, has a great pool/hot tub, and a pool/ping pong table that kept our crew entertained for days. The beach is a short bike ride or walk away and has great views of Rainier and shell hunting at low tide. We would have loved kayaking and trail walking if we had extra time. The home has great games and fun activities. The only thing that could have been improved is that the DVD player would not work (user error?).
Came with 4 kids, 4 adults, and a newborn. The house was equipped with everything we needed for the whole family. We enjoyed every moment, even the rainy days. Kayaking, basketball, tennis, hikes, ping pong, board games at the clubhouse, grilling, movies. Saw a lot of seals. Ate Dungeness crab. Made fires at the spit. One thing to note (I might have missed in the listing) - this property isn’t on the water, though the development has miles of private beaches. So you need a tow hitch to get the kayaks to the beach. Thankfully we had one. Thanks Lyon for this incredible slice of Pacific Northwest magic.
The home is more spacious and and lovelier than the pictures let on. Well equipped, perfect for our young children.
We had a wonderful time staying here. It is child friendly and a great place to spend time with family.
Wonderful property at Hartstene Pointe. Photos don’t do it justice! We had a weekend-long family event at the beach; 6 adults and one toddler were very comfortable staying here and 1 family/friends dinner with a couple more adults worked great. Property owner is very responsive and easy to work with. 5 stars!
The place was clean and well cared for. Lots of hiking trails near by. Beautiful views. The community is nice and friendly. There are tons of areas to sit by the water and have a BBQ. The pool is clean. My kids enjoyed the club house as well.
We had another great stay with our family. As always we enjoyed the home, fun times at the pool, bbq and kayaking at the beach,, fire pit at the spit, tennis by the beach, fishing at the marina, and the family of deer that came by to say hello every so often at the house. Looking forward to another trip next year!
This was our 3rd stay at this house (5th at Hartstene Pointe). What was different this time was that we stayed for a full week, and every day was blissful! This house has everything a family could need - pack in enough food for a week and everything else is just there. Amazing days spent swimming at the pool or down in the lagoon, walking the trails and taking in the solitude and space that Hartstene Pointe is so good for - then changing gears and playing pickle ball or tennis, going for runs, a bit of fishing and then grilling dinner and relaxing in the cool shade of the comfortable porch before going down to the spit for a campfire - where we got the bonus of staying late enough to watch the Perseid meteor showers... Entire family woke up the next day asking whether that actually happened...unreal! Loads of gratitude to the hosts for letting us use their very special home again. We would love to come back for a 4th stay someday soon!
I believe this is the third time we have stayed at Lyon's house on Hartsteine Island. We really enjoy the tranquility, and the friendliness of the area. The house is well equipped, and very clean. I know we'll be back again! Gary
Had a really great time here, enjoyed the beaches and trails. Download the key code and patrol cell number before you get to the island. We arrived after business hours and couldn’t get patrol to answer from the call box. Then someone let us follow them through gate but we didn’t have cell service to pull up the key code. The pool was fantastic, nice and warm and not crowded. The house was very spacious and well stocked. Appreciated being able to bring our dog with us and even off leash on the beaches.
If you want the get away, this is the place. Quiet and peaceful. House is well kept. Plenty to do if you want, tennis, basketball, pool, swimming, chess....
First let me start by saying this place is bigger than it looks in the photos. The home is clean and cozy. There are all sorts of games, air hockey, books, movies, streaming services, dishes, spices, condiments…. THE WORKS. Wifi works great! Grill works great and we had dinner one of the nights on the front porch. That’s just the start of the great things about this place. The community is PEACEFUL. No chaos, friendly neighbors everywhere we went. Pool was heated, playground was safe and sturdy for my 1 and 3 year old, fitness center has everything needed for a short stay workout, there were places to sit around the fire and enjoy each other’s company and the clubhouse was very inviting with lots to do. It was too cold to enjoy the lagoon. But that looked pretty cool. Same with the beach. The trails were nice and we even met a friendly deer. Last but not least, the hosts, Sarah and Lyon answered any questions I had and stayed consistent with communication from the initial booking to the actual vacation. Thanks for making Father’s Day weekend FANTASTIC! We Look forward to the next time we can come out here. FYI: signal away from the home is touch and go. But there are so many other things to do other than be on your phone.
This was a 50th bday get away. The property and community offered rainy day and sunny weather fun. It did not disappoint! We chilled in the cozy living room and covered porch space, cooked in the spacious kitchen, explored the trails, local park and sun bathed and kayaked at the point. It couldn’t have been a better birthday. I highly recommend this wonderful retreat.
Beautiful, clean place, good communication with owners. Quiet peaceful community.
Easy check in process and we were able to check in early. Which helped since our plans got canceled due to rain. House was clean, very open concept and bigger then the pics showed. We had a dog, there was a nice area in front of the house for her to use. Games to play, Wi-Fi to use and streaming was easy!!! We will actually be back since this house around the corner from my parents.
