Discover the natural beauty of Vashon Island from the comfort of a cozy, modern tiny cabin. A short ferry ride from Seattle or Tacoma, The Wolf Den is tucked in the forest, ideal for couples or solo travelers seeking a restorative getaway. In the cabin you will find all amenities necessary for a truly relaxing stay. After a day exploring the island’s pristine trails and beaches, unwind with a soak in the wood-fired hot tub. Leave the urban hustle behind and immerse yourself in island life. The space The Wolf Den is tucked away on the edge of our shared 4 acre property. From the parking area, a short walk on a delightful woodland trail opens up and welcomes you to your very own private retreat. The architecturally simple yet significant black cedar cabin blends in beautifully with its forested surroundings. Despite the cabin's relatively small footprint, the cedar lined cathedral ceilings make the living area feel incredibly spacious. Cozy up on the couch and look out at the big leaf maples, madronas and towering firs. The kitchenette is the perfect place to graze. You will find everything you need to prepare a snack or light meal, including a mini-fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster, electric tea kettle, French press, and general kitchenware (glasses, plates, bowls, cutting board, bread knife and utensils). To accommodate your light cooking and grilling needs, the side deck features a BBQ gas grill with a side burner and a small frying pan, pot and cooking utensils. You'll be welcomed on arrival with local treats; including fresh island roasted coffee, a curated selection of loose and bagged teas, home baked and/or locally sourced goodies that provide an opportunity to sample what the island has to offer. Ask us about the best place to get fresh salmon when in season! The generous sized bathroom comes well appointed with all amenities including, luxurious cotton waffle towels, Public Goods shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap, Kiehl's hand lotion and a hairdryer. If you forgot anything, just let us know. The sleeping loft with its cozy full sized bed is bathed in natural light from a manually opening skylight. You will feel like you are up in the trees gazing out at the stars on clear nights or drifting off to sleep with the sound of rain on the metal roof. The front deck is the perfect spot to savor your cup of coffee or tea and that novel you have been meaning to finish. In the warmer months, grab takeout from one of Vashon’s many great restaurants and dine al fresco out on the deck while looking over the small orchard and gardens in the late afternoon sun. Deer frequently wander through our property, as well as, a wide variety of birds, including our favorite resident barred owl, lovingly named Hooty. We are happy to announce the addition of the Goodland Wood Fired Soaking Tub, available exclusively for guests! Perfect for 2 people and just steps from the cabin, this eco friendly tub is powered by fallen timber collected from our properties. The tub takes on average 90+ minutes to heat up and does require attending to the fire during that time. In the summer months, it can be used as a refreshing cold plunge. This is yet another wonderful opportunity to find stillness and fully engage with the land.

Guest access This is a wonderful space for you to slow down, soak in nature and connect. You will have access to the trails from the parking area to the open area in the front of the cabin and the little magical forested area in the back. We do reside on the property in the main house a distance away and separated by a cedar fence and small orchard. We will make every effort to provide you with privacy and we ask that you confine your activities to the areas described above. Other things to note The sleeping area is located in the loft accessible by a generous sized tall library ladder. You MUST be comfortable going up and down a ladder. The skylight in the loft bathes the room in warm, natural light. Without a shade to obstruct the view, it allows guests to tap into the natural rhythm of the day. If you are sensitive to morning light, please bring along a sleep mask. Sorry, NO PETS - While we love animals, we are not able to accommodate pets at The Wolf Den - NO EXCEPTIONS. Due to the uniqueness of the space, children under 12 are not allowed for safety considerations. During Washington mandated burn bans or if it is excessively dry in late summer, the hot tub will only be available as a cold plunge. The cabin has its own separate parking pad for 1 vehicle up to a full size pickup truck. From the parking area, the cabin is located at the end of a ~100ft natural walking trail through the forest. We have a cart for you to transport your luggage and the trail has a charming string of lights to guide your way at night. We recently installed a whole-house water filter, and the water tastes amazing—no additional filtration needed. Please let us know in advance if you will be visiting the island without a car. The nearest bus stop is 2 miles from the cabin. Uber does not operate on the island, however, there is a dedicated shuttle service comprised of individual drivers and we will happily share their information with you.
