The well-appointed bedrooms ensure a restful sleep, and the luxurious bathrooms offer a spa-like ambiance. A short walk through the enchanting forest leads to the serene waters of Pickering Passage, ideal for fishing, boating and outdoor activities. The property also boasts a spacious deck for relaxation and an expansive lawn for outdoor enjoyment. Be sure to listen for the Barred Owls calling from Squaxin Island!

Dump
The only thing good about the stay was the view. The house is old and musty. The property is very difficult to find. Cleaning staff was there until 5pm and complained that she didn't know the house was booked. Internet and TV are a joke AND there was a bat inside the house the entire stay! Way too expensive. Would not recommend.

Paradise!
Absolutely beautiful location to relax and enjoy meeting up with family. All the comforts of home in a quiet secluded rural area on the Sound, a couple hours from the city. Would definitely stay here again.

spectacular views
Cabin is in a wooded area and the view from the porch is amazing. Just a walk across the yard to the stairs that lead to the shore.
House is clean and well maintained. Kitchen is great for cooking meals and the table is a nice size to enjoy a family meal.
Close to parks for hiking.
Our questions to the host company did get answered but it took a while.
Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Family fun
We had a wonderful time visiting and enjoying the beautiful views of the bay. We were pleasantly surprised at the property was waterfront. We hosted a child birthday and everyone had enough space and we truly enjoyed the outside spaces. Truly fantastic family time.
