Peaceful Spring Break Getaway
Posted Apr. 14, 2024 on HomeAwayCute, small footprint cabin directly on the water with a beautiful view of the mountains. We had a relaxing stay and had the beach to ourselves for nearly the whole time we were there. We fed deer by hand, saw a dolphin and some seals from our deck, and found countless treasures on the beach. A few things to note- it is a studio a frame set up- much smaller than we anticipated from the pictures. The main bedroom is really in the living room right behind the front door with no door or privacy screen, the loft upstairs has a very low slanted roof maybe 5 ft at the highest point - fine for smaller kids but not for adults. No drawers or closets to store clothes so be prepared to keep in your luggage. Couch only seats 3 people, we couldn’t get the TV/dvd to work, kitchen didn’t have any space except the counter top to store non refrigerated food, dishwasher only has a bottom rack and sliding back door has a broken handle so a little tricky to open. Plenty of towels and paper products- but no coffee filters so be sure to bring your own. These were all small things and the view and the cleanliness, comfy beds, and direct access to the water overrides them and still makes this a 4 star rental. Ferry process was easy to get on/off the island. Communication with host was quick and easy. We didn’t use the kayaks or SUPs but they looked to be in good working order. All in all a cute little cabin that is worth the stay!

Melissa,
Thanks for your review. We're so glad you all had a great time on Herron Island. I'm so sorry the cabin fell short of a 5 star rating. Our guests having a fantastic experience really is our top priority. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We try to make it clear in the listing description that the cabin is 700 sq feet and that the bedroom and loft are open to the rest of the cabin. I guess we could add a photo that will show the proximity of the downstairs bed to the cabin and indicate in the text that the ceiling is low in the loft and that there is very little storage space.
We really appreciate your input and hope we get the opportunity to host you agin in the future.
Happy trails!

Herron Island Getaway
Posted Aug. 20, 2023 on HomeAwayHad a wonderful weekend getaway at Herron Island! The views over looking the bay and Olympic mountains were beautiful, and we enjoyed being able to use the kitchen/grill to cook all our own meals. Check-in was easy. Lots of friendly deer came to visit and we enjoyed their company :) We stayed in the mainhouse & annex (be sure to request the annex when booking if you are booking for more than 4 people). No wifi, but cell service was great. Overall, had a great time!

Out annnul long weekend away-amazing.
Posted Aug. 14, 2023 on HomeAwayWe love Herron isalnd, this cabin/s are in a amazing location, right on the water. There are a few stairs to get there but easy trip to launched at boat ramp and come over. I would add the the loft in the main house property not middle aged adult friendly.

Stunning views and Awesome stay
Posted May 16, 2023 on HomeAwayI hate writing an amazing review because now everyone will stay here and we won't be able to get back in! Seriously, you will NOT regret staying here. From the ferry ride over to seeing the house and views, it's a hit. Kayaks! Deer! And yes -- seals, eagle, whales, ...
Kitchen is well-equipped. BBQ grill works great. Fire pit? Super!
If stairs are your nemesis, as they are mine -- it's hard but not impossible. It's worth it!
Sunsets... surreal.
No wifi, no worries! Too much else to see and do! (And yes, you have cell coverage.)
We rented both -- the cabin and the annex. Loved every minute. Thank you for sharing your houses with us!

Beautiful Stay
Posted Apr. 13, 2023 on HomeAwayWe absolutely loved our stay on private Herron Island. Even the ferry workers were super nice and hospitable. We stopped at a grocery store prior to the ferry to get stocked up on food. As soon as we arrived at this adorable loft style home, we saw dolphins from the back porch and soon after that we were feeding the neighborhood deers. The weather was absolutely perfect. We walked down to the beach from the private stairs and enjoyed our walk completely around the island at low tide. Baby crabs for days. The views were amazing. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

Get away from it all
Posted Mar. 26, 2023 on HomeAwayMe & my husband wanted to go somewhere beautiful, quiet and peaceful. This checked all the boxes. No cellphones, no tv, no interruptions. Now we feel recharged and so relaxed. Feeding the deer was a very beautiful experience. We already miss them. We saw seals and a few whales. Meditation was amazing here.

Peaceful Haven!
Posted Mar. 13, 2023 on HomeAwayFlying in from Dallas to spend some time in Washington, we were not sure of what to expect staying at Herron Island. We were pleasantly surprised:). The tranquil state of the island, the deer, the bay and the ferry are things we shall cherish from the visit. We learned on day one to pay attention to the ferry schedule because we did not want to miss going to the mainland and likewise returning to the island. Because it was still cold there, we appreciated the wood burning fireplace/stove, which warmed the entire home. The home has a well equipped kitchen and bathroom, and even has a pair of binoculars to look out into the water. If it were warmer, we would have gone canoeing. I can rumble on about this home and Herron island:). Overall a very pleasant stay.
