    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.

    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!

    We enjoyed our stay in this cozy cabin. The view from the front deck was delightful. Our hostess was quite helpful and a pleasure to talk to. We would definitely stay here again.

    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.

    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.

    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!
