About this property

Glamping on the Puget Sound - Small Waterfront Cabin

Looking for a quiet place to get away - our special cabin is the place for you. The cabin is small and cozy. It features a queen bed in an upstairs sleeping loft(accessed via a steep ladder - see pictures) as well as a small couch that pulls out into a double size sleeper. The kitchen is outside - with a small fridge/freezer, ice maker, blender, griddle, BBQ with a side burner and sink. The private shower is also outside. There's an easy-to-use Incenelet toilet a hairdryer, and plenty of supplies.
The two-level deck is spacious with lots of seating room, a gas fireplace and a beautiful view. There are two TVs - upstairs and down, the upstairs TV has a VCR & DVD player with a lot of fun old movies to watch. The downstairs TV comes with AppleTV that can be used with your home accounts.
The cabin has the most peaceful beach and fire pit area - where you will find plenty of chairs, tables and wood. We also share with you our three kayaks, canoe and paddle boards. So much fun for everyone. We also provide a boat tie up, if you are interested in launching and keeping it out front. Zittels boat marine is about a mile away - you can launch your boat or rent one of theirs for a lovely day on the Puget Sound
Due to the size of the cabin - we do not allow parties without prior approval.
The good news is we do allow you to bring up to two dogs for a small $50 fee for each. Please ask when you're booking.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great space for two, and we were able to bring our two dogs! Having the beach right out front was a dream, and we quite enjoyed the bonus activity of trying to cut wood and make a fire. Super cozy cabin and the host is wonderful! They are easy to communicate with and made us feel welcome. Thank you for the stay!

Would definitely come back

We loved the view and cozy feel of this rental. We got to enjoy some time on the beach, tried the paddleboards, and even saw a seal swimming in the evening near the shore! We'd love to stay here again for more than just one night.

Our stay was so magical at this beautiful cabin! The location is serene and secluded but still so close to downtown Olympia and the farmers market! It’s such a gorgeous property and the views are unmatched. Showering outside in the magical outdoor shower was so cool and such a dream under the tree canopy! Overall was such a great place for a weekend stay and we loved how accessible the kayaks and paddle boards were as well! Definitely will stay here again

Relaxing vibes. Loft bed is not for the faint of heart but very worth it! Host has provided everything needed to throw down on the grill. Definitely snag some tin foil baking trays to bring with you. That way you can grill anything.everything else was provided. Such an awesome spot!

Thanks for staying with us. There is a cookie sheet for the grill - but good tip on those disposable pans. I’ll consider adding a couple to supplies or maybe put the cookie sheet in a place easier to find.

Short and sweet stay

Beautiful small getaway that was perfect for my best friend and I to escape to for a night. We went out on the kayaks and it was just what we needed to relax and connect, this place is a real gem and the owners were incredibly responsive and accommodating. I’ll definitely be back!

On the water & dog friendly

This place is beautiful. There are several gathering spots (fire pit, deck, lawn, and more). The outdoor shower has a ton of hot water.The incinolet toilet was easy to use. It’s much cleaner than a standard toilet (imho).

Excellent host! The property was a dream come true. My visit was a rainy PNW night. This place has a great vibe for all seasons. The outdoor shower was phenomenal. Elevating the experience more, I brought my own heavy comforter and slept perfectly. If you’ve read this far, I could go on for days about how great it is. This is a bucket list experience, do it!

Most beautiful gift I’ve ever given myself

My daughter saw an orca spout and fin, and I don’t suggest that you try to kayak when the tide is coming in. I loved this place. I’m coming back. I’ll be there. It was amazing and the host was fantastic. My family came for the day one day and it was absolutely amazing. I would stay again and again and again thank you

Perfect relaxation

The cabin is a small comfy slice of relaxation! Wonderful views of the Sound. The property is well equipped with everything you need for a glamping adventure. The outdoor shower was wonderful- hot water and fresh air. The owners added extra touches like snacks and a bottle of wine. WiFi worked great in case you need to sneak in a little work or stream a movie. I didn’t go up to the loft but might need to know that it’s ladder steps and not everyone might be able to utilize it.

Amazing beach getaway!

In love from the moment we arrived! Friendly hosts, so accommodating and every little detail was thought of. The kids had a blast on the beach. The view is breathtaking and the hosts were available with any questions we had. Such a peaceful place. Only regret is that we only booked 1 night. We BBQ hamburgers and hotdogs, had a fire in the fire pit and watched the sunset, snuggled in and watched a movie before bed, then got up made breakfast, drank coffee while enjoying the gas fire pit, combed the beach and just relaxed before packing up. We will definitely be back.
