Your Forest Hideaway on Beautiful Harstine Island

Cross the bridge to Harstine Island and step into a serene forest retreat. Tucked beneath towering Alaska Cedars and Big Leaf Maples, this charming one-bedroom guest cabin offers comfort, quiet, and the beauty of nature on a peaceful 10-acre property. Wander meandering woodland trails, snack on wild huckleberries, or soak in the hot tub beneath the trees—it's the perfect place to unwind.

The cozy cabin sleeps 2+ with a comfy queen bed, a kids’ sleeping loft, and a full-size futon in the living room. You'll find everything you need for a relaxing stay: a complete kitchenette, a covered porch with a café table, a private patio with a swing for two, a gas BBQ, and of course—the hot tub, exclusively for guest use.

The beach is just a short walk away, perfect for quiet moments watching herons, seals, and the shifting tides.

While the cabin is its own private space, the property owners’ home is nearby—close enough to offer a warm welcome or assistance if needed, but far enough to ensure your privacy and peace.

Explore nearby state parks or take a day trip into the South Puget Sound or Olympic Peninsula. Whether you're seeking rest, romance, or outdoor adventure, this peaceful woodland escape offers a perfect blend of comfort and nature.

Quiet, lovely space

After a small mix up at the beginning of our stay, which the hosts took care of immediately, everything went smoothly.The cabin is a great space for a quiet get away. The property is great with lots of places to go, trails to walk on, and places to sit outside and relax.

Wandering trails through the woods with a little stream babbling along. Lots of spots to sit and ponder or relax. Plus a cozy cabin to curl up in. What's not to love.

Such a lovely place!

We had a delightful time in this well-appointed, clean and comfortable cabin. Ruth and Scott were most welcoming, the grounds were gorge, and the island just what we needed. The queen bed was comfy, shower had good pressure, the hot tub was clean and well maintained, there was a good selection of movies and TV options, WiFi was solid, and the kitchen had what we needed.

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.

Another great stay at Huckleberry Cabin

We had a lovely long weekend at the cabin on Harstine. It was our second stay. We brought our dog this time. We had a great time visiting local state parks with her and relaxing and cooking in the cabin. There are so many small details that make this cabin homey. Ruth and Scott are very communicative and you can tell they take a lot of pride in their property.

Best part? All of it!

Our stay at the Huckleberry Cabin was exactly what we needed: mini adventures on property tucked into magical woods filled with hidden treasures and animals - domestic and wild alike! Our hosts were above and beyond! The only problem was when my son (9) announced we must move from the big city and live in the woods. Maybe someday... in the meantime, we'll return to Huckleberry Cabin again and again!

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!

Just wonderful!

We had a fantastic time. The owners have provided so many wonderful amenities throughout the property. The cabin sits on acres of natural forest filled with trails with fun locations throughout furnished with chairs, hammocks, etc. Closer to the cabin there is a well-kept yard area with a fire pit, patio furniture, and more. The owners could not have been nicer or more welcoming. We also appreciated the wi-fi access that allowed us to map out travel plans on our phones and to watch a movie when we felt more like staying in at night. It was our first time visiting but it will not be the last -- we can't wait to return!

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
