Great view of Rainier
We greatly enjoyed our stay and the view of Rainier down by the beach was fantastic. The cabin is very close to Fox Island, Gig Harbor, and the Narrows bridge for quick access to Tacoma.

Heaven in gig harbor
It was a nice experience to sit on the porch have a nice cold beer. Listen to the birds, the wind going through the trees so refreshing I recommend this place to anybody that I just want to relax and chill.
We found the cabin and location excellent for staying in the Gig Harbor area. The deck was great for entertainment. Kitchen was small but adequate. The bed was very comfortable and bathroom spacious. Thanks
Great property for a couple. Loved the trail access to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful cozy cottage
The location is very beautiful, calm and peaceful.
The Cottage is beautifully designed and furnished.
A lovely vacation retreat.
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.
Great place to relax and unwind. Great views, quiet with nice walk through the woods to the beach. Very comfortable furniture and bed with a well equipped kitchen.will definitely stay again if available.
Very nice accommodations, albeit compact. Host was very helpful and responsive. Walk to the beach was a little longer than expected but the walks along the beach alone, or with our 7 and 3 year old grandchildren definitely made it worth it. A little cumbersome using a long code as a key but not overwhelming (be sure to carry the code for the first few days at least). Nice touch including hiking suggestions and local info in the welcome book. We would return.
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.
Beautiful surroundings and clean, well decorated cabin. Would appreciate having Keurig pods available. Loved our stay! Would absolutely return.

Clean, quiet, serene
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!

Lovely, Quite Cabin
Nicely put together for a comfortable stay. Relax on the deck next to the fire pit or BBQ some juicy steaks. Clean and bright
Was a great place to stay, check in was a bit confusing though because there are two buildings on the property and the address provided is not the rental unit. The provided address takes you to the non-rental, which also has a name (Calamity cottage) similar to the rental (Calamity cabin). Once we got that figured out it went well. Great view of Rainier from down on the beach. The trail down to the waterfront appears to be going into the neighbors yard, but it isn't. There is a sign for the trail, but it was just covered in ivy.

Peaceful & Relaxing Cabin!!
The cabin was perfect for my visit to my hometown Gig Harbor WA..The cabin had everything- a cozy fireplace, super comfortable furniture & bed, and an awesome view of the Puget Sound from the living room. The short beach trail had incredible giant trees , a creek with a little bridge , and a beautiful green lush forest. The beach views were absolutely spectacular! I had the best stay!!Will for sure return for my future trips to the harbor.
The house was amazing. You could see the Sound from the front windows and just a short walk down the trail and you are there. The small garden was very nice and accessible.
I was working throughout the week but my wife loved every minute we had there. Any time we return to the area we will be staying here if it's available.
Lovely stay at a well-decorated cabin. Beautiful view from the front deck of the Sound. Peaceful (mostly except for the occasional carpenters working on a nearby home). Overall, you won't regret choosing this rental! Please think about supplying a box of tissues for the cabin...thx!

Private, Peaceful Refuge
My husband and I spent two nights in this lovely little cottage. The view of the water (and easy access to the beach) was so nice. The furniture and amenities in the cottage were very nice: tasteful and pretty. The cottage is close to state parks, Gig Harbor, and Tacoma (Point Defiance Park was a special treat!). It was a perfect balance of convenient location, while also feeling secluded, private, and peaceful. Thank you!
