About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The most peaceful setting! Quiet and cute Puget Sound beachfront cottage.

Located on ever changing and world famous Hammersley Inlet in Shelton, this adorable beachfront cabin will provide you with the ultimate spot for some much needed rest and relaxation. Watch the tide, tug boats, seals, and occasional Orca from the comfort of the couch. With more than 20 miles of visibility to the West, the view will never be the same twice.

Originally built in 1940 this cabin retains it historic charm including the original hardwood floors, wooden walls, exposed beams, millwork and wood stove. There are even two Dutch doors facing the water perfect for letting in the summer breeze. A ductless heat pump has been installed to provide both heating and air conditioning. The home includes a refrigerator, dishwasher, washer/dryer, and microwave for you to use. The bedrooms feature queen beds, dressers, and closets. A queen sized inflatable mattress will also be left at the home. The home will be fully furnished and decorated for your enjoyment.

The property is over ½ acre in size and is fenced on both sides, providing a private escape for you and your guests. The home is the third to last home on a dead-end street, so you’ll see more marine traffic than cars driving by. Much like the waterfront, the landscaping is always changing. The yard features many seasonal plants uncommon to the region including Rice Paper plants, Banana Leaf trees, and Hardy Pampas Grasses. The backyard is exceptionally private during the summer months when the grasses are in bloom. The yard includes a brick-lined firepit, gated stairs (10 stairs total) to beach, and a small covered patio located off the kitchen.

The home features 75’ of low bank frontage along Hammersly Inlet in the South Puget Sound. This particular area experiences over 15’ of tidal movement and can look more like a river than the Sound during certain periods of time. The beach is rocky/sandy, allowing you to walk on it without sinking into mud. There is also a moorage buoy out front in case you choose to bring your boat. Adirondack chairs and two kayaks will also be provided.

During my seven years living full time at the home I have been lucky enough to see many Orca pods, sea lions, seals, and otters. The home is also often visited by many deer, Bald Eagles, and even the occasional fox. Watching the Seagulls attempt to break into the abundant amount of shellfish on the beach will entertain you for hours!

Upon arrival you will be provided with an information sheet describing instructions for the WiFi, television, and check out procedure. You will also be provided with freshly washed bedding, towels, drinking water, coffee, and all the plates/cups/silverware you’ll need.

Outdoor amenities include two kayaks/paddles/vests, BBQ, propane fire pit, and many lawn chairs perfect for watching the sunset over the horizon. We strive to have all of the lawns mowed and landscaping looking great for maximum outdoor enjoyment!

The exterior of home has been freshly painted, a new electrical panel installed, water treatment system installed, and whole house recently replumed. All systems/appliances in home are up to date and work great.

We're a private host who cleans, maintains, and services the rental ourselves. As opposed to locations which are managed by rental agencies, we have pride of ownership and are here to help at a moments notice. The cottage was my primary residence for 7+ years and over that time I poured my blood, sweat, and tears into making the property as tranquil and inviting as possible. We are proud of what we've built and look forward to sharing the experience with you!

Peace, in a piece of history, and what a view!
This sweet 1940 cabin with its rustic charm is a perfect location for R&R. We didn't want to leave it. Such peace, quiet, beauty. We saw seals and deer daily. Brady, the owner/host, was very responsive to any inquiries. His love of the area and of the home are obvious.

Great house/host
My family had a great time staying here. The host was responsive and was ready to help with any questions. The house was inviting, clean, comfortable, and has a great backyard with access to beach. It rained during our stay but did not mind staying inside and enjoying the view and games/movies. Will rent this again on our next trip to PNW.

Cute little cottage with lots of character. The communication was excellent with the owner. We would have loved to come during Summer and taken advantage of the kayaks but we watched the eagles and seals instead on a beautiful morning!

What a great place to spend time - either paddling in the sound or just sitting on the lawn chairs in front of the fire pit, this wonderful cottage is a treasure both for location and for comfort. Thanks so much for letting us stay for our second visit.

Beautiful and peaceful oasis!
My husband and I spent a lovely five days at Collier Cottage to celebrate my birthday in September. From the moment we pulled up to the property, we both said "wow" - it was even better than the pictures - beautifully landscaped, you could see the inlet in the background, and the cottage itself looked neat as a pin and very inviting. The storybook feel was even better inside! The house has a very cozy and warm vibe, you have no choice but to start relaxing right away, mesmerized by the amazing water views. The kitchen, with its red tile countertops and dutch door, reminded us of being at a lakehouse in the adirondacks. Seriously - it was so welcoming. The bedrooms were both nicely appointed with lovely, high quality bedding and mattress. We slept like logs (which for us is nothing short of amazing). Step outside and you are in another world. The Hammersley Inlet treats you to a constantly changing view: every morning I saw too many seals to count just cruising along the shore, peeking up to see if you were watching. One morning we saw a pair of pretty rare otters eating clams as they swam by. Sadly no orcas, hopefully next time! It was so wonderful to just sit in a chair and soak the views in. The location in Shelton can't be beat. We brought our kayaks, so spent a couple days paddling Lake Kokanee and Dabob Bay in Hood Canal. The drive there from the cottage was very easy, and takes you right by Hama Hama Oyster Company - also a must see. Brady was an excellent host, and responded very quickly the couple of times we had to text him with a quick question. It's clear his main goal is your comfort, and that you have an excellent experience at his home which he obviously takes great pride in. We had a wonderful time, and will be back! Thank you so much, Brady!! What a gem you have in Collier Cottage!

View and landscaping were very soothing and relaxing. Brady was easy to work with and responsive when we needed him but sensitive to our privacy. We saw seals, birds including an eagle and almost daily visits from a pod of 5-6 killer whales. Overall, a great stay.

A peaceful, cozy waterfront cottage
We had a wonderful experience! We adored the cozy, peaceful cottage right on the waterfront. The cottage was charming and exactly as pictured on the listing. The outside space is really what makes this place magical. The seal watching, beautiful sunsets, and beach are amazing! The water is so calming and I loved doing yoga right out on the lawn facing the inlet. The kiddos were outside the majority of the time and loved exploring. We would definitely book from Brady and his family again. Thanks for the memories!

Relaxation & Fun on Hammersley Inlet
We loved our stay at this cottage. Everything we needed and more was provided, including kayaks! The beds were super comfy and the property was so well cared for and clean inside and out. We saw seals, otters, geese and a soaring eagle. The gas grill was a big plus and allowed us to host our family for a cookout. Many beautiful places are just outside the door and ready to enjoy. Plus, Brady and his wife are great hosts!

Solitudes of water.
This property is located in a well reserved and preserved area of the sound. Quaint cottage with some dated, but well maintained, accommodations. This place was perfectly in opposition to the noise and high energy of my racing this weekend. The quiet lapping of the tide, picturesque sunsets, and small water craft dancing on the waves was serene. Parking with a trailer was easy and the grounds were exemplary. The host was accommodating and cordial. This would make a wonderful small family respite with a multitude of games in house (yes non electronic board games) and a private beach. A week stay would flyby.

Hidden gem on the shores of the Puget Sound!
What a fantastic property this is and the location is amazing. The property is kept impeccably and the home was what our soon to be 8 year old referred to as a dream house and we could not agree more. The views are just killer and the property is in a very quiet and peaceful location. Perhaps because it was early season, no one else was around which was really nice. The house is beautifully decorated with a fire pit and options to kayak off the beach right behind the house. It was a little too cold for that, but we were able to enjoy a couple of beautiful sunsets while sitting by the fire pit. We highly recommend this house, its a great house to loaf in. We could just stare out the large windows for days! We definitely hope to be back again!

Just what we needed
My husband and I stayed here for a week to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Shelton is kind of a random little town to choose but the scenery and peace is what we wanted. I'm so happy we decided on this home. It is such a charming, older, little cottage just a couple steps away from the water. The quietness of this location is astounding but it I still a short drive from town and shops. We really decided to go here because they had kayaks available for us to use but we were having so much fun visiting the antique shops in town (3 min away) that we didn't get a chance to kayak. We also took some very beautiful hikes. The food is amazing in this small town. I recommend the taco food truck. We took some tacos with us on a hike and had an amazing day outside. We got some of the best couple photos we have ever taken. Everyone in town was so nice and would talk to us like we lived here for years. Most importantly the hosts are very attentive but still give you privacy. We felt like this was our home while we were here and really lived out the most relaxing week we have had as a couple. When I first arrived I noticed there wasn't any curtains on the windows and I was a little worried... the next morning I realized why. The view was breathtakingly beautiful and there was no window that neighbors could see into. It really encouraged us to take in the scenery that was around us and encouraged us to get up and enjoy our surroundings. The doors that face the water are so charming and allow you to open the top half to allow the breeze to hit your face while you relax on the most comfortable couch I've layed on. We hope to come back again soon and am grateful for the stay.

When we arrived early Brady was spiffying up the lawn. He was warm and inviting as was the cottage. It was just homey enough to not be stuffy and oh so comfortable! We enjoyed watching the birds and harbor seals as well as the change of tides. Just a wonderful spot for a weekend and close to Hood Canal where we were diving. Thanks for a great stay, Brady. We’ll be back with the whole family.
