About this property

Herron Island Maple Grove Retreat-Dog Friendly

Cozy, 2 bedroom cabin nestled amongst old growth maple and cedar trees on Herron Island, a private island located In picturesque Case Inlet, South Puget Sound, Washington.

A 30-minute drive down the Key Peninsula from Gig Harbor takes you to the dock where you will board the Charlie Wells, the private ferry that services the island (ferry fare not included In rental cost). All guests will need a pass to board the ferry. Contact the owners for this pass prior to your arrival. The round trip cost for the ferry is $20.00 for 20 feet and under vehicle and driver and $3.00 per passenger.

Visit the Herron Island website for more information on ferry fares, directions and pictures of the island.

A quick 11 minute ride will take you to the island where you will meet the resident deer (which are so tame you can feed them by hand). Look for bald eagles and osprey as they soar around the island, pods of killer whales as well as seal pups as they soak up the warm summer sun.

The cabin Is located on one of the quietest roads on the island, across from the Nature Park, a wildlife refuge. At the cabin you will find two large decks, one facing west, the other facing east for relaxing, outdoor dining etc... two hammocks in a grove of alder trees make a comfortable place to pass away an afternoon... two beaches, one with a swimming area and marina, one undeveloped, are both within 1/2 mile walking distance of the cabin.

All bedding and towels, cooking utensils and appliances provided (sorry, no microwave or cable but the TV is great for watching DVD blu-ray movies). No Smoking, please.

This Is A Private Island With Unpaved Roads And No Grocery Store Or Gas Station. There is a 15 mile per hour spped limit and the deer have the right of way. Island rules must be followed. There Is A Grocery Store And Gas Station Located About 20 Minutes From The Ferry Dock On The Mainland.

Delightful and relaxing spot
This was our first visit to Herron Island and we'll be back. Maple Grove retreat had everything we needed, from two kayaks to outdoor yard games, to CDs, and comfortable beds. Really appreciated the communication about the property in advance and we're grateful to the owners for sharing this special place!

Great getaway
We love coming back to this place for relaxation during the summer. The hammocks are great for relaxing in the shade and reading a book after a trip in the provided kayaks. The house has been upgraded during the past couple of years and gets better each time.
