Incredible Sunset at Beachfront Glamping Cabin on Private, Herron Island with Fire Pit and Kayaking near Olympia, Washington
This glamping property is located on a tiny private island near Olympia, Washington, about 90 minutes from Seattle.
A short 10 minute voyage on our private ferry brings you to our Beachfront Cabin and Annex where you'll probably see more deer, eagles, seals and whales than people.
The property features 2 individual buildings, the Cabin and the Annex, available separately or together, that accommodate parties from 1 to 8 guests.
The main cabin on this WA Island sleeps up to four glampers in two bedrooms. The downstairs open bedroom has a queen-size bed and the upstairs has two single beds in the open loft. There is one full bathroom with a shower and laundry facilities are available. Ductless heating and air conditioning and a wood-burning stove are provided to keep guests comfortable year round. The dining and lounge spaces are perfect for socializing indoors, and the deck has plenty of outdoor furniture for relaxing, meals outside, and enjoying the spectacular view.
The Annex will sleep an additional four guests with a queen-size bed in the upstairs master bedroom and a comfy sleeper sofa downstairs. There is a fully-equipped kitchenette with a sink, induction hotplate and a large microwave. In addition, there is a bathroom with shower and laundry facilities. The lounge has an electric fireplace with a TV and a DVD player. Guests should note that the Annex cannot be rented individually; it can only be rented as an extension of the Cabin. Groups of five or more must add the Annex since the main cabin will sleep only four guests.
To add the Annex guests should simply inquire with the hosts once the reservation has been made and the hosts will update the rate. Adding the Annex costs an additional $85 per night (plus $60 cleaning fee).
Glampers will find two kayaks and two stand up paddle boards at their disposal and waiting at the beach. On the back deck, there's a patio dining table with a large umbrella, a couple of nice chaise lounges, Adirondack chairs, a propane grill and propane fire table that is the perfect setting for an evening under the stars. The host supplies all propane, towels, linens, soap and paper products.
Guests should keep in mind that there are no stores, restaurants, or medical services on the island. Be sure to bring all your food with you. This will a truly authentic experience of glamping: Washington, Herron Island and its natural world will be right at guests' fingertips.

This amazing beachfront cabin and annex are secluded on the west shore of Herron Island, a tiny private island in South Puget Sound, situated about 90 minutes from Seattle. It can only be accessed by a 10-minute voyage on a private ferry. The island is truly tranquil—there are no shops or restaurants—meaning guests will experience a level of peace and quiet that is hard to match anywhere else. Glampers can enjoy all that Herron Island has to offer and should respect the neighbor's rights to do the same. Guests should be respectful of the neighbor's peace, privacy, and property.
Glampers will enjoy unobstructed ocean, island, and mountain views. The sunsets are spectacular all year long and guests can watch for resident deer, eagles, herons, seals, and porpoises. The location on the west shore is one of the best Orca sighting spots on the island. A short walk down the stairs will bring guests right to their own beach.Activities near Lakebay

This island is a great place to spend a glamping holiday. It is private and secluded, making it a great place to relax and feel away from it all. The water is very calm and an early morning paddle is a fantastic way to start the day. The water can get fairly warm in the summer and excellent for swimming and floating.
The calm waters make for some of the best kayaking and paddle boarding guests will find anywhere. A leisurely walk along the sand or inland on the island is a great way to enjoy the lovely surroundings. There are outdoor basketball and pickleball courts, swings, and a play area, as well as a baseball field at the community center at the top of the island.
