Our three-night stay at Oberon was absolutely magical. The property is stunning and accommodates everything you could ever need. The photos of the immaculate cottage, the picturesque fire pit, and the secluded deck don't begin to do it the justice it deserves.
From the moment we drove onto the property, we were enchanted. Following the signs for Oberon, you have to drive down a long and winding perfectly maintained gravel road into a secluded forest of Sitka Spruce trees. The anticipation is palpable. Then, the cottage, along with a fantastic view of the Sound and Mt. Rainer comes into full view and the adventure begins.
The cottage itself is clean, well decorated, and yet has a comfortable "at home" feel. We were some of the first few guests to stay at Oberon and even though it's a new listing, almost every detail you could think of are included. We often travel with a few kitchen gadgets to fill out the shortcomings of most home rentals, but none of them were necessary with Oberon. The space is intimate and would be a bit crowded for four adults (especially if the weather was rainy) but there is enough room to spread out and the upstairs "crows nest" transports you back to being a kid and building a fort, filling it with everything your imagination could conjure up. The only thing I would suggest bringing is a small portable night light for the bathroom. Climbing down the ladder from upstairs in pitch-black darkness can be a little tricky.
Perhaps the best part of Oberon is the magnificent deck that wraps around the cottage. There's plenty of space to spread out, a completely secluded private hot tub, and amazing view of the Sound through the trees. All in all, this is one of the most incredible rental properties we've ever stayed at, especially if you're looking for a quiet, beautiful, relaxing, remote getaway for two people. Aside from a quick trip to the grocery store, we saw not a soul and wanted for nothing over the course of three nights. This place is a rare gem and we will definitely be coming back in the future.
