About this house rental
Welcome to my charming island home in the wooded Pacific Northwest! I invite you to settle in, get comfortable and make yourself at home. It is an ideal place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Stargaze on a clear night as there is no light pollution. The property is a very safe place with few neighbors and places to explore. The house is not shared with anyone, it will be all to yourselves.
Both bedrooms have Roku or Apple TV, comfortable queen sized beds and cozy linens, dressers, full sized closets and a view of the trees in the forest with private doors to the back deck with chairs, patio set and hammock. My home and property are very clean with lots of light and is comfortably furnished. The loft is not a ailanle for yuest use at this time
The house has a full kitchen. Coffee, coffee maker, tea and condiments are provided along with some breakfast items and snacks. No cable or satellite, but the wifi is very good.
Harstine Island has a bridge and is less than an hour from Olympia, 1.5 hrs to SEATAC airport and 1.75 hrs to Seattle, less than 1 hr to the Bremerton ferry and about 2+ hrs to the west coast beaches or Portland.
The house is close to the Olympic mountains for hiking, Lake Cushman for kayaking or to go boating or sailing in the Puget Sound. There are some nice golf courses in the area. The air is clean and crisp, there are lots of birds, we're close to the state park and cove. The property has a summer vegetable garden, apples and blackberries in the fall, a winter creek in my private park, and two decks. The fire ring may be used when there is no burn ban in effect. Fireworks are never permitted.
The town of Shelton is about 20 mins. away and has some fun festivals throughout the year. There are some things to do on the island and there is a farmer's market on Saturdays from May to early Oct. There is a great supermarket, quaint restaurants, shopping and antique stores in downtown. About 8 minutes away are some restaurants and gas. The closest restaurant is casual has a great lake view, bar and pool tables.
My place is NOT handicap accessible and it is not childproof. Only babies that are not walking or crawling and kids 12+ allowed. Infants are not counted as an extra guest. Please bring your own pack and play. No pets, extra guests, weddings or events, please. Cigarette, cigar, marijuana smoking or vaping or is not allowed in the house. You must be checking in and staying with your group (no 3rd party booking.) I am on the property in another building occasionally for some work. If there is anything you need, I am always available to help.
I hope you can stay! You’ll love the place as many others have!

Immaculate cottage, comfortable and private. Beautiful woods . For over a week I was alone in cottage and at last four days girlfriends joined me. I felt so safe while I was alone and my friends absolutely loved the cottage. Our hostess was beyond words. If I had a question I texted her and had immediate response. I have stayed in VRBOs across the nation and this was the cleanest and most comfortable I have ever encountered. A plus was the beautiful kitchen outfitted with every appliance you needed. I positively will stay there again! Excellent WiFi and computer reception.. the grounds are beyond words!,,,

We enjoyed our stay. It was very quiet as we hoped for. Good communication with owner.
Just come prepared if you want to stay in. The next grocery is 30min away. On our way out, we found an amazing bakery that’s only 10 min away. It’s called Olympic Bakery and Deli.

Lori's home is just lovely and very well equipped, including lots of extra niceties that were helpful and a thoughtful touch. Lovely area - perfect for boating & hiking in the woods. Located to the southeast of Olympic National Park, it was a great location for us to head out to the park each day. Plenty to do in the general area, including Lake Cushman or Hoodsport if you're not necessarily heading to the national park.Thanks Lori for a lovely stay and a terrific home and environs!
