We stayed here for a couple of nights and it was exactly what we needed for a quick city escape. Right on the lake, the views were stunning—calm mornings with mist over the water. The scenery is pure postcard, and the atmosphere is wonderfully peaceful.

This place is small but it has everything you need for a lovely stay. It was very clean and comfortable, and you cant beat the view... or the quiet. Rained for our stay but the outdoor space looks like it would be great in the summer. The deck is HUGE and totally gated - which is good for the pups and kids. Would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Alma Tramill

Host profile image
This property was owned by our family back in the 1800's bought from William Vaughn himself and sold - (1979). We were able to purchase it back in 2011, 32 years later. Our love for this place is so strong, we wanted to share with others the same opportunities we felt.

Why they chose this property

The Blueberry cottage (Vaughn Bay) A place where freedom is felt and loved. Watching the magical sunsets, never one duplicated! Free roaming wildlife to watch and share with. The beach is filled with its own life. At low tide watch as the clams bask in the warmth of the sand - a song of their own. The small crabs find refuge under the rocks. With tides high or low it's a world of enchantment, hours of fun and relaxing

What makes this property unique

Use the small Dock - launch for your own boat/kayak, or the public launch across the bay.

Available to use: (2) Costco kayaks and rowboat.

Shopping and fine Dining: 10 minutes away, Maritime Gig Harbor offers waterfront shopping. The Blueberry Cottage: offers easy access to the Olympic peninsula, Olympic National Park and Hood canal. It is nearby Belfair - Shelton known for it's ATV trails and nature preserve.

In season: Pick Blueberries and Raspberries
