Amazing mini getaway
I would recommend this property to anyone! The hosts were amazing and very helpful. There was anything that you could need in the cabin, and the space was clean. I would give this place more than 5 stars if I could! I can’t wait to book another trip there with my kids!

Huckleberry House is Perfect!
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!

Peaceful getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our time, as did our senior dog! He usually gets nerves whenever visiting new locations but settled immediately after feeling the cozy warm of the fireplace, surrounded by the soft pitter patter sounds of the rain. I LOVED the property and its whimsical vibe… we got lost on the gnome trail haha. Plenty of privacy and all the amenities (hot tub, grill, etc) worked perfect!

Relaxing little trip
We had a quiet and rainy stay. The cabin was cozy and warm. We enjoyed searching for gnomes, saying hello to the horses and a little hot tub time during breaks in the rain. The hosts gave us plenty of privacy, but were quick to respond to messages.

We enjoyed the quiet set in the trees, the welcoming cake set out for our arrival, and the directions to a lovely beach. We spent time in quiet conversation in the cabin and enjoyed the trails on the property. The presence of our dog made the time away from home complete. It's so nice to be able to bring our dog along.

Absolutely magical!
I loved staying at the huckleberry house! It was the perfect spot to celebrate an anniversary with my partner. Even in January during a particularly cold time, we still loved the forest walks, hot tub, and even cooked ourselves a steak dinner in the outdoor firepit! I can't wait to come back in the future to see the place in different seasons.

Amazing little cabin experience
This is exactly what we were looking for. The cabin is warm, cozy, and clean. The grounds were beautiful. It felt really secluded yet was only a short drive from town. We loved exploring the trails which had little seating areas and surprises throughout. The hot tub was clean and in good repair, and had ample privacy. In fact, despite being right near the host's home, we had complete privacy. The host obviously went to great lengths to ensure peace and solitude for the guests. The only thing I could think to improve would be that some of the trails were hard to follow and were not clearly marked in some spots. Not a big deal though. A+ 5 stars, it was a wonderful weekend for us.

Came looking for a relaxing weekend away, Huckleberry cabin was so much more. Quiet comfortable pretty enchanting. The trails were great, full of all sort of surprises. There are so many details from the tree house, the hotub, fire pit, cozy cabin and of course the gnomes. Would definitely stay again. Scott and Ruth were lovely.

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.

Relaxing Private Getaway
We had a really great stay. The most amazing part was how the hosts knew what we wanted from them, without us ever saying it. Many other reviews talk about how helpful and interactive the hosts are. But we wanted a more private feel, and they just magically knew that and gave us a lot of space. And we still got to cash in on the famous zucchini bread that came fresh out of the oven just as we were checking out. The cabin and all of the areas around it have well thought out privacy screens that make you feel like you are alone, or at least way further away from the main house than you really are. The trail system was worth exploring. For two adults, give it about an hour of your time. If you have kids with you, you could easily spend hours out there checking out the gnomes, the horses, and the hidden forest swing. The listing is accurate for what is in the house and it is well appointed. The outdoor grill is adequate for grilling for two people. We did bring an extra cutting board which helped. Pro Tips - Hama Hama Oyster Saloon is 45 minutes away and one of the coolest day trips for a couple (especially with a reservation) - There are 3 disc golf courses within ~30 minutes. - There is a lot more to do and see at Harstine Island State Park (with a steep-ish hike involved) than there is at Jarrell Cove.

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!

An Idyllic Stay!
We loved our stay here at Huckleberry House! The hosts were kind & welcoming and were happy to show us around or let us explore ourselves! Their property is beautiful with lots to discover & relax and enjoy. We barely left the property because there was plenty to do between the onsite trails, the water access walking distance, the cornhole set, all kinds of seating and hammocks. We will surely be back! The cabin was even larger than the pictures looked. It was plenty of room for my husband, me and our chocolate lab! They are very thoughtful with what is available in the cabin from games, dvds, spare toothbrush, lights outside for the evenings, wood for the fire place & cooking essentials. Would 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!

We had a wonderful time during our long weekend at the Huckleberry Cabin. The cabin is small but super cozy and comfortable. Very peaceful and quiet. The grounds are so beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub, made a fire in the fire pit and enjoyed S'Mores, did some hiking around the island and drove up to the Olympic National Park for more incredible immersion in nature.

Perfect family getaway
The property was perfect for us. The 400 sq ft cabin didn’t feel cramped at all. It felt well-built and the solid wood trims were a reflection of the industry surrounding the area. We had all the essentials. The owners obviously put a lot of care, attention to details, and effort into the place. The trails were perfect and our kids enjoyed the gnome hunt. They loved the tree house and loft area. Meandering past the creek and racing sticks was definitely a favorite activity for them. The internet and TV were also a welcome distraction for the kids. We had a good balance of time to unplug and time to let the kids zone out.

The perfect retreat
My dog Pippa and I came for a working retreat, and Huckleberry House was the perfect place for it! I worked in the mornings and then we went hiking each afternoon in the Olympics. The cabin was comfortable, clean, and beautifully-appointed in every way. Loved the hot tub to relax in each day. And the lovely network of trails around the property were delightful for short breaks. Ruth and Scott were very reponsive when I had a question and overall have created a beautiful little haven on Harstene Island. Couldn't be better!

There is nothing to do but relax and enjoy nature. Take a walk on Gmome Trail and search for the Gmomes hidden along the path. Next take a walk on Fairy Trail and look for the fairies along the way. Don’t forget to sit by the fire to stop and smell the clean air and take in the beauty. Thank you Ruth & Scott

Island Escape with delicious cheese and ice cream too!
Ruth and Scott have created a very wonderful getaway spot on Harstine Island that was so very well cared for and IMMACULATELY CLEAN. Trust me when I say, there was not even a cobweb to be seen. Everything was very comfortable and cozy, it was just as it was presented on the VRBO listing. When we arrived it was ready to go, Ruth welcomed us and toured us thru the property and explained all of the amenities. The cabin is comfortably separated from the main home, privately screened by mature landscaping, creating a sense that you are privately nestled in the woods. The clearing, behind the cabin, has a cheery fire pit that draws you over "warm your bones " with your favorite little something in hand, while your burgers are grilling on the BBQ. While the trails thru the wooded acreage beckons " Explore". To top off a wonderful day, the private guest only hot tub beneath the lights, for a well deserved soak. The ultimate relaxing wind down after a days adventure. Oh yes, about the cheese and ice cream, The Olympic Bakery, smells just like you expect, is definitely worth the day trip. Neil, was so gracious he shared amazing taste offerings ranging from delicious gourmet ice cream, to local and imported cheeses, topping it off with wine and salami's. Heaven on a cutting board! Thank you Ruth and Scott, this Island cabin getaway was just what we needed!!!
