It was very quiet and easy to locate. ##### EDGAR C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Deane and Melissa S. 7 Jul 2025 #### 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. ##### Deane and Melissa S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wistar K., Seattle, USA 28 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Last minute code 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. ##### Wistar K. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Deane & Melissa S. 8 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### 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. ##### Deane & Melissa S.

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. ##### Sam B.

Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Erin L. 13 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### 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. 😕 ##### Erin L. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Julie B. 11 Jul 2022 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Too dirty to stay 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. ##### Julie B.

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. ##### Dylan L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica G. 1 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy home and beautiful views Very cozy home, the views of the water were beautiful esp with the snow that week. ##### Jessica G.
