About this property

Step back in time to this charming 1935 waterfront cabin. Hike down a steep trail of old growth trees and native sword ferns to our cozy waterfront beach cabin. There are 80 stairs and 7 switchbacks on the walk down and back up again to the road, but the beautiful private location is worth the effort. Enjoy 120' of low bank waterfront facing west. Beautiful sunsets, beach walks, and abundant wildlife await you. This quiet spot will steal your heart. Just 5 minutes from the Vashon ferry dock, and yet feels a world away from busy Seattle.

Remodeled kitchen, "great" room with massive rock fireplace and 2 sets of French doors that open onto the deck overlooking the water. The deck has outdoor seating for lounging and dining. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare your home cooked meals. The cabin sleeps 4, with a queen-size bed in the main floor bedroom, plus 2 full-size futon beds in the attic sleeping room. The bathroom is vintage "beach cabin" with a claw foot tub/shower, plenty of linens, bath towels, and beach towels are available for your stay.

The outdoor space includes a picnic lawn area with a charcoal BBQ grill. One of our favorite spots to enjoy sunsets and evenings is the teak bench down on the edge of the water below the deck.

Fun things to do while at the cabin:
Watch the eagles and cormorants circle the cove from your lounge chair.
Keep an eye out for "Lucy" the local seal to pop her head up, and the blue heron who likes to pose on one leg at the beach.
Walk the rocky beach, exploring the tidelands.
Hike the 3-mile roundtrip to the Vashon Winery through the beautiful Shinglemill Creek Preserve.
Enjoy a camp fire at sunset.

Due to the steep trail with stairs and switchbacks, this beautiful little place will appeal to hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. There are 78 wooden stairs and 8 switchbacks on the trail. This is what islanders call a "walk-in." A backpack will be easier to carry than a suitcase.

Perfect Getaway!

I couldn’t have asked for any better than this cottage for my weekend getaway for some R&R! It was just what I was looking for! I would recommend to anyone and would love to stay here again for a future trip. The home is cozy and the location tranquil. I enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning and taking in the beautiful outdoors. The kitchen was well stocked. Communication with the host couldn’t have been better, and I appreciated they allowed for some flexibility on check in/check out based on their other bookings. Wonderful cottage!

Tranquil Waterside Retreat: Your Peaceful Getaway

The location of this cabin was truly exceptional. Nestled right by the water's edge, it offered an uninterrupted panorama of the shimmering water, and each evening we were treated to the most magnificent sunsets. Watching the sun dip below the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow across the tranquil waters, was a sight that left us in awe. The accommodation itself was equally impressive. The hosts had thoughtfully designed a cozy and inviting space, perfect for unwinding and embracing the peace that the waterfront offered. The interior was tastefully decorated, and large windows allowed for plenty of natural light to flood in during the day. The kitchen had everything we needed, from cookware to utensils. We look forward to returning to this tranquil oasis.

Why they chose this property

We bought this cabin in 2016, and love it. It's a quiet retreat and cozy home-away-from home. We live in the Seattle area, and it takes us only about 75 minutes to get here, door-to-door, including the ferry ride. We hope you love it as much as we do.
