About this property

Our secluded cabin is located directly on the water with panoramic views of the Port of Tacoma, Vashon Island, Point Defiance, and the breathtaking Mount Rainier. This is the ideal spot for nature lovers or anyone who enjoys a nice view while enjoying a cozy day inside.

This cozy one-bed, one-bath cabin includes a full kitchen as well as a small dining and living area and it's hooked up to wifi. There is a TV with a connected Blu-Ray player for a nice night in, or a lovely outdoor space that features plenty of seating and a fire pit a mere few feet away from high tide.

The cabin is only a short walk from our designated guest parking area. Note that the grass is a little uneven and the main access is down a decent-sized hill with stairs, so unfortunately it is not wheelchair accessible or great for people who are unsteady on their feet. You have access to the cabin and the grass area outside. Beach access is a short walk away via the park up the street. Unfortunately, the boat house is not accessible to guests, nor the stairs to the beach alongside it for safety concerns. While the upper property is not part of the listing, we understand you will need to pass through the yard to access the cabin or your car. We only ask that you do not loiter or hang out in the yard to be respectful of the property owners as well as the neighbors who share the open yard.

As mentioned above, nearby is a public park with beach access! Downtown Gig Harbor is also only 10 minutes away and it offers a variety of dining, shopping, and activities for people wanting to get out and explore the town!

My dad and I live on the property above should a problem arise. While we are close by, this is a very private space and we respect your privacy and hope you enjoy the tranquility and beauty of our cabin.

We have a dog that runs around the property. She is a very friendly Australian Shepard who will probably stop to say hi! If you have issues with dogs please be aware of this.

A nice quiet place by the water! I was in the area for a rehab seminar by myself and it was a nice quiet place to relax. Easily one of the best places to have a cup of coffee and watch the wildlife on the water! The down the grassy trail to the steps can be a little sketchy in a downpour but it’s otherwise worth it!

Quaint getaway on the water.

Very peaceful and quite stay on the water in Gig Harbor. Rustic cabin, but cozy and has all the amenities. A little tricky to get access to, but not bad. The tankless water heater struggles to get the tub hot, but if you turn on the shower it will heat up just fine. Very nice host, and loved the view. Calming to sit there and hear the waves hitting the shore. Would be a great place to come during the summer.

A beautiful cottage on the water

We loved the solitude of this cottage and all the original architectural touches. Watched the seals and sea lions swim by so close that you could hear them breath. Listening to a storm crash against the bulkhead made me sleep like a baby. Property is perfect for a couple. Well appointed and close enough to town to shop for whatever you need. Just know that you have to take it down the staired path to your water front getaway. There is a beach park just 2 driveways away. Would definitely stay again.
