About this property

Forest Cabin on 2 Acres, 1 Mile to Penrose Point

  • 2+ private acres of cedar forest, 1 mile from Penrose Point State Park beaches on the Key Peninsula.

    -Two queen bedrooms, one on the main floor with step-free entry
    -Garden lights guide you along the path after dark
    -Morning coffee on the covered patio while the rain chain runs
    -Grill on the sundeck, then finish the night at the fire pit
    -Dogs welcome, beach trails a 15-minute walk or 2-minute drive
    -Wi-Fi and a private workspace
    -Washer, dryer, iron and cleaning supplies

    Follow the garden lights up the path and feel the day fall away. Big windows frame towering cedars and mossy maples, the rain chain sings on wet mornings, and the chipmunks act like they own the place. This is a certified wildlife habitat on 2+ private acres, a short walk from Penrose Point's beaches.

    WHAT YOU'LL LOVE

    -Certified wildlife habitat: deer, owls, otters and eagles have all been spotted
    -Covered patio with rain chain and deep lounge seating
    -Sunny deck with dining for four, umbrella and gas grill
    -Fire pit, hammocks and a two-person swing around the property
    -Penrose Point beaches and trails, a 15-minute walk or 2-minute drive
    -A kitchen guests call "the most complete we've ever stayed in"
    -Up to two dogs welcome
    -Wheelchair ramp, step-free main floor, step-free shower with seat
    -Washer and dryer, Wi-Fi and a private workspace

    THE CABIN

    Vaulted pine ceilings and oversized windows fill the cabin with light, and the big picture window shows the forest changing with every season. Warm wood, a plush blue sofa and soft evening lighting make it easy to stay in.

    -Streaming TV with Chromecast and Fire TV (use your own logins)
    -Bluetooth speaker, books and board games
    -Portable A/C in summer; electric wall heater with central heat as backup

    SLEEPING (SLEEPS 4)

    Primary bedroom, main floor: wake up to forest views on every side.
    -Queen bed with natural latex mattress and organic cotton sheets
    -Smart 32" TV, nightstands with USB charging, dimmable lights and ceiling fan
    -Closet, drawers, extra pillows and blankets

    Loft bedroom, upstairs: my favorite place. A treehouse hideaway under a wood-clad ceiling, with mushroom wallpaper and treetop views from three windows.
    -Memory-foam queen bed with a headboard made for lounging; the ceiling is about 56 inches, so it's for sleeping and sitting, not standing
    -The stairs are steeper than normal, with rails on both sides
    -Glass-top table for work or meals, overlooking the living room

    KITCHEN & COFFEE

    For guests who consider morning coffee an important event.
    -Gas stove, microwave and French-door fridge with ice maker
    -Drip coffee maker, Keurig, French press and electric kettle
    -Ground coffee, a handful of K-cups and several teas
    -Pantry basics: oil, seasonings, vinegar and sugar
    -Sharp knives, quality cookware and plenty of counter space

    BATHROOM

    -Jack-and-Jill layout connecting the primary bedroom and kitchen
    -Walk-in, step-free shower with seat, handheld sprayer and grab bars
    -Toilet grab bar
    -100% Egyptian cotton towels and Ginger Lily Farms natural toiletries
    -Tankless water heater for plenty of hot water and pressure

    OUTDOOR LIVING (A GUEST FAVORITE)

    This is where most guests spend their time. Coffee on the covered patio while rain runs down the chain, dinner on the sundeck, then the fire pit as the garden lights glow through the trees.
    -Benches, a picnic table, chairs and hammocks around the property
    -Life-size games and a play area
    -The property is not fenced and wildlife is all around, so keep pets close

    DOG FRIENDLY

    Well-behaved dogs are welcome, up to two. The forest, decks and nearby trails make this an easy stay for guests traveling with pets. Please review the house rules and note our pet fee, and add your dog(s) to your reservation.

    LOCATION

    -Penrose Point State Park: beaches, shoreline trails and sunsets
    -Gig Harbor, Belfair and Tacoma for dining and shopping
    -Day trips: Hood Canal, Lake Cushman, Mt. Rainier, Olympic National Park, or the Seattle ferry from Bremerton

This cabin is PERFECTION! There are not enough adjectives to explain how wonderful our stay was. Sitting on the deck was so peaceful and calm. This is the perfect place to take a deep breath and let all your stress melt away. The owners have thought of everything from all of the amenities to helpful information throughout the cabin.The close proximity to two state parks was also a bonus. We will definitely be back, often!

Michelle’s cabin was private, clean, and perfectly equipped for a multi-day stay. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked, and we were constantly surprised by the thoughtfulness of the amenities. Great communications and better than the description. 10/10 would stay again.

We stayed while in town for my step-son's wedding. While we didn't spend a ton of time in the house, the time we were there was amazing. The location was great, it was easy to find and was super cute! There were so many thoughtful touches the owner had added that made the stay perfect! We are already looking at dates to come back

Cozy & Perfect Stay

My daughter and I had a perfect stay at the Magic Lantern tiny house. The design was perfect for maximizing space (it didn’t feel small at all!) and all the windows really brought nature in. We enjoyed eating berries off the vine and watching the chipmunks and birds do the same. Penrose State Park has a wonderful beach (turn right at the T for the best access) as well.

A truly magical place

We have stayed here before and the quiet serenity never disappoints. Michelle and Roger have thought of everything for a true retreat away. All of the details are so thought out, it seemed the deer greeting us upon arrival was planned. He stuck around to make sure we got unloaded ok and then hopped back into the woods, checking on us throughout our stay.

Perfect little home in the middle of the woods near a Longbranch wedding venue. Very comfortable with all the amenities you may need. Particularly helpful were the laundry facilities and gas grill. For those that need it, this home has a handicapped ramp and accessible bathroom facilities. Also enjoyed some blackberries during our stay. Great communication with owner.

Beautiful forest getaway

Get away from it all in a charming tiny home cabin (that doesn’t feel at all tiny). Extremely clean, well appointed, light filled, comfortable cabin - in the woods but not completely isolated. Wildlife sightings, Penrose Point State Park very close. Responsive host. Green all around. Rejuvenating. My cousin visiting from LA, and I from Portland, LOVED our stay! Highly recommend!

A fairy-tale cabin!

The cabin was wonderful! It was clean, well stocked, and private. I got there late at night and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see a thing. But Michelle left the lights on for me. So I was greeted by a cozy, well lit cabin that was surrounded by all the outdoor lights. We had a terrific time. Barbecued on the grill and made a bonfire one evening. It felt like a magical place to rest and unwind. We will definitely be going back!!

Family Connection Spot

This place was adorable and perfect for our needs. Myself my hubs and our daughters 7and 8. They Loved the loft bedroom and especially the mini fridge which could literally fit a couple capri suns, an apple, and yeah,a package of microwave popcorn. The beds are super comfy, the entire place is very clean and it is just an all around magical place. The living room is tiny, which was just fine for us. We spent a lot of time on the cozy covered porch playing cards and just being together. My daughter Juniper spent literally hours picking blackberries on the property and both the girls had a blast just exploring all the sweet magic. The water is so close. We spent our 1 full day at the bay playing in the water and exploring the beautiful trails. This was just what our little family needed right before the the start of the school year. The kitchen is stocked with decent knives (we have learned to pack our own just in case)along with tongs and all the other kitchen essentials. My hubs has been a cook for 25yrs so this is essential for us. One thing to note, the main road is closer than expected so there is some traffic noise during the day. This was not an issue for us, however if youre looking for a zen getaway, it may be distracting. Also, the local tiny mart is astronomically over priced. So come completely prepared. It is just basically a gas station without the gas and we had to pay $10 for a bag of marshmellows! So bring all the things! Overall, loved it!!!
