There's always catching sights of the local wildlife... depending on the season, you can see seals, sea otters, whales, eagles...etc. And of course, kids can collect shells, rocks from the private beach. At night, the whole family can roast s'mores in the fire pit while watching the stars.

Wonderful Getaway

We had a wonderful time at this place. Extremely clean and quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Beautiful view right on the water. Had a family of ducks that would swim by and visit every evening like clockwork. Saw a few friendly seals swim by as well. Host was responsive and everything we needed was supplied in the house. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we are in the area.

Oasis on the sound!

This was an absolute heavenly property! Extremely neat & clean, very comfortable beds, plus all amenities you could possibly need! Decor was unique and fun! Very kid friendly as our five year old granddaughter enjoyed the outdoor play set, books and toys when she visited! Our two little dogs were easy to keep track of as they enjoyed their stay with us too. The deck is huge but completely gated also! We enjoyed sea otters and sea lions daily! At low tide walks on the beach were an adventure! We had a little difficulty getting a hold of someone to help us get in when we arrived due to the entry instructions. I wish I didn’t have to leave such a wonderful review because it will make more people want to stay here and more difficult for us to reserve!

We always have a wonderful stay at the Gone Fishing Cabin. A week filled with peace & serenity - so beautiful! The cabin is very well appointed & comfortable and just outside marine life is passing by the deck. Walks on the beach when the tide is out - are incredible!

Cute Cabin - Beautiful Spot

While this was our first rental through VRBO, we have stayed at many vacation homes over the past few years and this cabin was the cleanest and most well organized home we've ever seen. Very comfortable! 5 stars on everything - heartily recommend . We loved our stay - very relaxing with beautiful views. Cabin is well appointed and decorated with lots of fun signs and nice touches.

Really, this is one of the best properties I have ever stayed at through VRBO. The setting is perfect, it is absolutely stocked with EVERYTHING you could ever want, and the owners are super responsive and very nice.

No matter the weather, this place is great as a quick get away from the city. So relaxing to just sit in front of the fire and watch the water. We had a power outage and the owners were great with looking up the expected fix time for us - very communicative. I cannot say enough nice things about this place.

About the host

Hosted by Kim and Arne Schrider

Host profile image
Welcome to Gone Fishin' Cabin, our home away from home in the Northwest! My husband and I both have busy careers. And like most working parents, we are challenged by balancing family needs with work schedules. The cabin is our little Puget Sound waterfront get away from the chaos of normal life. Here, we can enjoy a stroll on the beach with the sea breeze in our hair, take in the amazing oceanfront view while sipping our morning coffee, and listen to the crashing waves from the deck lounge. And the best part, the kids can play on the beach, go clamming, learn to fish or kayak in front of the cabin. Happy memories are made of these...!

Why they chose this property

Gone Fishin' Cabin is in the amazing Puget Sound and within an hour from Seattle. We're super family friendly. It's easy to travel to the cabin, either by Ferry or by road. It's in a small rural village, but also close to Gig Harbor, a seaside port with a pedestrian waterfront, quaint shops, restaurants, and all amenities.

What makes this property unique

As a family, we love just hanging out by the water and enjoying a relaxing time BBQing, fishing, crabbing, clamming, kayaking, snuggling with a book, or playing board games. When we feel really ambitious, then we go for a long walk on the beach. Taking it easy is what we enjoy best at the cabin.
