Pretty Cool Tree-house like Waterfront CabinAmenities are pretty basic so the big expense is for the location which is pretty spectacular. Enjoy views of Hale Passage and occasional peeks of Mount Rainier.Just a heads up - if you have any kind of mobility issues walking from the parking area down to the cabin and then down to the waterfront could be a challenge. It wasn't an issue for us. Also, be aware that they limit the number of people at the cabin to four - so don't think about inviting a few local family or friends!We enjoyed our two weeks here.

What a View!
Gig Harbor is just beautiful. The house was lovely. We were 2 older, senior couples, old friends, meeting up to visit for a few days. We were all comfortable. Had a wonderful time visiting the area.

Fabulous rustic cabin hideaway!
Cozy beachfront cottage - well appointed kitchen. Great for sitting and watching the ripples, enjoying wood burning fires each chilly evening and morning! Wonderful spot to step back from busy weeks and outside demands. Gotta come back!

Quiet
Great location for a quiet relaxing stay. The cabin is very private even with the neighbors next door. Gig Harbor was close and fun to visit. We came to do nothing and that’s what we did.

Great time in Gig Harbor
The cabin was clean and contained a variety of items to make a stay comfortable. The location was beautiful, quiet and within short distance of stores, restaurants and activities. We observed seals and birds and even got to see Mt. Rainier. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during our time at the cabin and Gig Harbor.

Gig Harbor cabin
Our stay at the cabin was most enjoyable. We were happy to know that the main room was larger than expected. There was plenty of towels, soap, etc. for our needs. The view was spectacular. I would recommend a little more attention being paid to removing dog hair from the furniture and floor. Also, you might want to include short instructions on using the fireplace, since can collect in the cabin unless windows/doors are open. In case you’re wondering, the flue was indeed open. Getting the baseboard heating to work was a bit odd. Overall, we very much enjoyed staying at the cabin.

Waterfront cottage
Beautiful setting and cute cottage. Enjoyed using the kayaks. Only negative was that the washer and dryer were not hooked up for use like advertised in property description. My son's clothes got wet while kayaking and it would have been nice to have use of the dryer. It also would have been nice to have use of the washer too. The rental price of this property should have been reduced due to the lack of was
her and dryer.
