Calamity Cabin

Surrounded by a canopy of trees and boasting lovely ocean views from the deck, this charming Gig Harbor cabin has it all! Fire up the provided gas grill to host a sweet summer barbecue, explore the property's trails, or head into town where you can grab a bite to eat, play some golf, or take peaceful walks around Sehmel Homestead Park. Additional attractions nearby include the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, Fort Nisqually Living History Museum, and Pantages Theater.

Freshly remodeled and cozy, the interior of the cabin radiates warmth. The sunny living room is a place of pure peace with its comfortable seating, large TV, and marvelous outdoor views. The adjacent well-appointed kitchen gleams with its old-school fridge and ample meal prep space. When mealtime rolls around, dine at the lovely dining table, or eat alfresco on the deck. Also in the kitchen, appreciate having access to a private washer/dryer.

Follow the effortless nautical decor into the bedroom. Lined with high-quality linens and mementos to Washington living, sleep is sure to come effortlessly in this space.

As the stars begin to make their appearance in the night sky, head back outside and gather around the firepit for s'mores. All of the components of the perfect wilderness retreat are here - all there's left to do is book!

Our Cabin Stay
Overall 5 stars. Loved the ease of finding the place and where it was located. We enjoyed seeing 3 deer in the yard. The bathroom needs a small shelf or rack for personal bathroom items. We only had the floor. Small problem.

As Peaceful As It Gets
The house was amazing. You could see the Sound from the front windows and just a short walk down the trail and you are there. The small garden was very nice and accessible. I was working throughout the week but my wife loved every minute we had there. Any time we return to the area we will be staying here if it's available.

Restorative Stay
Lovely stay at a well-decorated cabin. Beautiful view from the front deck of the Sound. Peaceful (mostly except for the occasional carpenters working on a nearby home). Overall, you won't regret choosing this rental! Please think about supplying a box of tissues for the cabin...thx!

Beautiful mini cottage
I don’t know much about cottages but all I can say is the place was beautiful. It was super cute and peaceful the neighborhood is lovely and felt safe. The beach was just a little walk through the woods. The company( Vacasa) was great to work with Donna responded asap to any concerns we had. I would definitely book through Vacasa again! :) The only complaint is I wish we would’ve stayed longer so we could do more exploring and relaxation at the beach!
