Cozy cabin with gas fireplace and extremely comfortable bed. Beautiful water views. Nice staircase to the beach. Watched bald eagles in the tree, seals in the water and deer just outside the front window. Deeply restorative nature stay. Kayaks available in a locked boathouse, we didn’t use them but it was nice to know they were available. Would most definitely stay here again.

This was one of the best short-term stays I’ve experienced. It is better than the description! Beautiful location, nicely furnished, a very comfortable bed, and quiet (my stay was Sunday-Wednesday so it might be different on weekends). Kayaking and seeing seal pups frolic in Puget Sound was a real treat. It the perfect respite for me, a solo traveler, To cap it off, Carolyn is a delightful host. I hope the cabin is available the next time I’m out that way as I would definitely return.

Amazing location! My daughter loved the beach out front, we did a lot of rock skipping and shell finding. Also great deck on the water to hang out on when the tide is high. The cabin itself is beautiful and cozy and has everything you need to feel right at home. Carolyn was so welcoming and hospitable and really made staying there so much better.

Silver Fox Log Cabin was the perfect place to stay. It was cute, cozy, and quiet. Everything we needed was supplied. We enjoyed sitting on the couch wrapped up in cozy, soft blankets, enjoying the fire and the sound of gentle waves outside. Carolyn is so friendly and was an excellent communicator from start to finish. We would definitely stay here again!

Great spot for a getaway! Lots of sea life around, made for a great mini vacation. Right on the ocean passage, just steps away.Cabin was great and rustic. Bed and couches were comfy. Even though it's a bit away from some shops if you need groceries, that's the point! Was able to get groceries delivered but

Wonderful week at Silver Fox Log Cabin

The cabin was so cute and had a beautiful view to the Puget sound, we enjoyed walking at the beach at low tide, so much sea life in the tide pools. Carolyn was a wonderful host, we felt like going home, we had everything you needed in the cabin, we can’t wait to go back, next time we want to stay longer, one week is not enough. Thank you Carolyn, you made our vacation so memorable. Btw, we also saw the Orca swim by, so cool.

Memorable Weekend

We absolutely loved our weekend at the cabin. The place was spotless. Everything is perfectly placed and organized. We were mesmerized by the views. We saw seals, cranes, and orcas while we were having breakfast. We walked on the beach and enjoyed the sunshine. We will definitely be back. Carolyn is a super host. She gave us great suggestions for eating and shopping.

Relaxing Cabin on the Sound

We loved this magical experience for our two day stay. Wished it was longer. This cute efficient well laid out space has everything you need. The views are amazing inside and out. Sunrise, sunset lighting, tides rise/fall, the Narrows Bridge views, the sea and bird life gave us plenty action dawn to dusk. Walk miles along the beach when the tide is out and around the neighborhood to the end of the pier when the tide is up. There’s so much to do and see. Chambers Bay golf course and park is across the sound was the perfect hike / lunch outing for us. Carolyn is a wonderful host who has it all. She respects your privacy but is there for you if you need anything. Charming, witty and fun loving, she will make your stay complete. We will be coming back. 👍

Beautiful, cozy cabin with amazing views

We loved our stay at Carolyn's cabin! The views are spectacular, particularly early morning when you can view an amazing sunrise and dusk when the sea animals especially come out. We were able to spot harbor seals and porpoises all throughout the day from the cabin and the beach, which does require stairs and some agility to get to. The bed and couches were comfortable. Such a quiet and peaceful setting. We also enjoyed taking the kayaks out around the island. We had my nieces who live locally come by a few times and spend the night and Carolyn was so helpful. She even lent her flip-flops to my niece and helped us by getting kid-size life vests so they could use the kayaks. There are two nice fans in the cabin as it does not have air conditioning but we were very comfortable with that and opening the windows. There were plenty of nice dishes, coffee pods and a good size refrigerator. We truly were sad to leave and cannot wait to come back to this beautiful place.

Couldn't have been better!

We loved every minute of our trip! The cabin was perfect and absolutely adorable. Carolyn the host, was warm and kind. She also thought of and supplied the cabin with everything anyone could possibly need. Everything was neat as a pin, and very well organized. The bed was really comfy, sheets were super good quality, the TV and cable worked great (which normally we wouldn't care about but we wanted to watch the Olympics in the evening). One morning that was a little cool we turned on the fireplace and it was cozy as ever. We love to kayak so the two kayaks were a big draw for us. While out kayaking, three seals popped up along the way and a we also saw a couple of dolphins in the distance. Ahhh.... Even though it feels like you are worlds away, the cabin is only a 20 minute drive from Gig Harbor. We really appreciated a quality grocery store called Metropolitan Market. You can pick up incredible produce, delicious baked goods and quality prepared food. And we're super picky! Lastly, don't miss the I-Screamery in Gig Harbor. An artisan local ice cream shop inside a BBQ restaurant in Gig Harbor. The "Bee's Knee's flavor (buttermilk and honey) was some of the best ice cream we've tasted. The flavor may sound weird but you have to at least as for a taste! We loved the cabin, the location, the views, the host. We will definitely be back!
