About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A Perfect Place to Relax and Enjoy Nature

Cross the bridge to Harstine Island and enjoy a beautiful and quiet retreat in the woods. Relax in the comfortably furnished cabin or enjoy exploring the 5 acre property with meandering trails through a lovely forest. Surrounded by huckleberry bushes and nestled among giant Alaska Cedars and Big Leaf Maples, this cozy guesthouse shares the quiet woodland with the property owner’s home. The one bedroom cabin sleeps 2+ with a comfy queen bed and kids loft in the bedroom, and a double size futon in the living room. The complete kitchenette, covered front porch with cafe table and chairs, a covered patio with a sweet swing seat for two, and a gas BBQ, are just some of the other features of the cabin. The beach access is a short walk away and is a great place to sit and enjoy birds, sea life and watch the tides change. Visit one of the state parks on the island, or plan an excursion to explore the wonders in the South Puget Sound or the magnificent Olympic Peninsula -- it's beautiful here!

Peaceful stay
The Huckleberry cabin is set in a wooded property behind the main house. It felt very private, tucked away with shrubs around the front porch for privacy. There was a lot of thoughtful details put into the cabin. Fresh roses and forest flowers, huckleberry bread, robes and flops for walking to the hot tub, gnome hunting cards 😂 for the gnome forest trails and outdoor sitting areas, hammocks. The private community beach was a treat!

Cozy Cabin Comfort
This cute little cabin was perfect for our anniversary getaway. We enjoyed the private, outdoor hot tub even when it rained on us. We relaxed on a covered, cushioned outdoor swing as well as on indoor couch.The kitchenette was sufficient for basic needs, and our family appreciated that we had wifi in case of emergency. The cabin is surrounded by wild trails in the woods around the property with several benches and sitting areas set up. We didn’t bring our kids but *I* enjoyed the gnome trail.There were many amenities we did not have time to use. The crafty decor and welcoming details were appreciated. The owner’s house is right there but strategically partitioned off so only the driveway in and out is exposed. We only saw the owners once when we had a quick request for a kitchen utensil we forgot and once for a surprise berry coffeecake delivered fresh from the oven at checkout time. We look forward to reserving another visit.

A well needed break from racing cars and screaming cats
We didn't realize how much we needed to stay at a place like this until we did. We live in Lake Forest Park right off of HWY 104 and we're constantly hearing sirens, car racing, and a variety of other noises regularly. Our cat is also fairly vocal. This place is pretty remote. During the day we'd explore the Island or surrounding area, and in the afternoon/evening we found ourselves relaxing in the back yard with a book, and dinner from the grill. Later in the evening we had the choice to hot tub or do a fire; hot tub won out the two nights we felt up to doing stuff. The hot tub is technically behind the owners garage, but the walking path to it is largely private, especially at night. The amount of interaction you want to have with the owners seems to be largely up to you. We briefly talked to them in passing; on our way in our car to explore the island or walking down to check out the trails on the property, both while they were tending to horses or their garden. You can text them if you need anything during the stay, but we found that we didn't. A LOT of the beach access on the island appears to be connected to private, gated communities. My wife can't walk very vary and as a result we didn't check out the community beach available to us, and the walk to Fudge Point State Park after driving to a secret spot (denoted in the guest book) was too far for her to finish as well. Come for the forest and the tranquility it provides. These kinds of spaces are hard to find

Huckleberry House
Out stay was incredible. The hosts were very helpful, even providing us with a cooler full of ice during an unexpected area-wide power outage so we could store our food. They were quick to respond to any questions and just over all have an incredibly lovely property. I would book here again given the chance!

Couldn't ask for better!
This cozy cabin is exactly as described and even better in person! The property was spotlessly clean and had everything we could have needed - comfy bed, ample linens, helpful host recommendations. The best part is the grounds that the cabin is nestled on! Despite being close to the main house, the cabin feels secluded amongst a beautiful yard with a fire pit, hammocks, lots of cozy places to sit, and a few wooded trails around the property. My favorite part of the weekend was enjoying a peaceful morning in the hammock while watching the hosts' 2 beautiful horses roaming around their enclosure.

Lovely locarion
We enjoyed our stay at this delightful cabin. The island was interesting to investigate. The futon was a little uncomfortable as a sofa though. Perhaps a hide-a-bed? The owners were delightful and very helpful. It was the perfect spot for a quiet "getaway". We enjoyed the bakery on the other side of the bridge for a treat and the drive-thru coffee stand. We will be back sometime.

My partner and I stayed here for our handfasting ceremony! We had four friends join us on the day, but stayed overnight for three nights just us two. It was breathtakingly beautiful here! The cabin was perfect for us, we loved using the grill and the hot tub! The trails around the property were fun to explore! We really enjoyed our time here! Thank you so much!

Cozy Cabin Retreat
We enjoyed the most wonderful week at the Huckleberry Cabin. We love the peaceful surroundings, the porch swing, the hammocks, the hot tub nestled in a lovely garden, the many beautiful artistic touches on the property. We were able to really relax. The hosts provided everything we needed to make a fire in the fire pit, so we relaxed by the fire and ate our messy, delicious S'mores. We loved the sandwiches and ice cream at the nearby Olympic Bakery. Each day we found a beautiful new place to go hiking. Day trips to Gig Harbor and Poulsbo rounded out our trip. The cabin is small but oh so cozy! Highly recommend!

We went to Shelton to visit family and found peace, quiet and a beautiful cabin. If you like to hike and are adventurous the owners will guide you to amazing trails. The outside of our cabin was the best. A swing, hammocks, and fire pit. We highly recommend this place. We’ll be back next year .

Does this explain my stay when I have already booked for next visit? Being single woman- I found my stay not only comfprtable but felt so safe. Being in a wooded fairyland site, the beauty and peace surrounding you brings such a relaxing feeling. Little Huckleberry House is both comfortable and spotless. I highly recommend it except when I want it!
