About this property

Oberon Cottage - Hot tub, Paddleboard, Beach Access, BBQ

This very unique, secluded, pristine cottage is located less than 90 minutes from Seattle on the Key Peninsula in a 17 acre cedar forest with ocean frontage. Expansive views of Mt Rainier are a feature of the Oberon Property, along with a very secluded waterfront access for launching your kayak or beach combing. Boaters and sailors can make use of the private mooring buoy as well. If you want to explore the area further, the "Key", as locals call it, is an undiscovered gem of tangled woodland surrounded by state parks and ocean on all sides. There are numerous festivals and activities throughout the year as well. Beyond the three salt water state parks the Key has a variety of other parks with extensive walking, biking, and horse trails. Winter or summer, the Key has everything for the perfect get-out-of-the-city-and-enjoy-nature getaway without having to drive for hours. It is quiet and rustic, peaceful and beautiful. See Ken Pen Parks for info.

Two day getaway!

We absolutely enjoyed our little getaway at this cabin after our wedding. It was tucked away in the woods and near the ocean, which led to it being so relaxing. The place was decorated so nicely and every little extra detail led to the atmosphere being cozy and relaxing. We hope to make it back soon!

4 Sisters Retreat

A beautiful refuge perfect for four sisters who needed space from everything. The cabin was clean, organized, and well stocked, although we couldn't find a ladle. Something to note is that there is no oven. We really couldn't have been happier!

Perfect Retreat!!!

Oberon Cottage is the perfect retreat! Everything about the listing is accurate and the photos really do not do it justice... From the moment we arrived we enjoyed every part of the property. It was the perfect size for the two of us and the sitting area and beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the patio and hot tub very much. The well appointed, efficient kitchen and barbecue made meals easy. The outside has so much to offer...a fire table with comfortable furniture, large grass area with another fire pit and oh, the private beach!!! We enjoyed watching the tide come in and out, beach combed and even saw live crabs and sand dollars in the water. We really appreciated the outdoor shower to rinse off after. Our favorite memory was watching a sea otter come up the stairs from the water and disappear into the wooded area next to the house at sunset the 2nd night. We cannot wait to visit Oberon again...thank you for sharing your amazing, secluded and very private cabin with us!

Great getaway

Oberon is a sweet, relaxing, private oasis. It is very well appointed with everything you need. We were lucky that the mountain was out our first night and we had a gorgeous moonrise as well. We had the beach to ourselves aside from a few frisky otters and sea lions who swam around just off shore. The cabin is tucked into the trees, giving it a treehouse feeling. We had a very relaxing stay.

A Wonderful Place to Stay

My wife and I fell in love with the property within the first 2 minutes of arriving. The cottage is well stocked, cozy, and comfortable. The grounds are calm, peaceful, and the sound of the waves was glorious. We will stay there again when the temperatures are not as hot as the surface of the sun. There was a small misinformation that was quickly taken care of. All in all, it is an amazing place

Beautifully decorated cozy cabin house

Absolutely adorable house. <3 We loved the propane powered outdoor fire pit for smores and staying warm outside in the evening, and chatting. And we really enjoyed the hot tub!

Fantastic property!

Oberon is one of our favorite vacation rentals we’ve had the pleasure of staying in. It’s a lovely place - well equipped, located in a beautiful setting, and private. We certainly hope to return.

Perfect, magical northwest getaway

We had only been there a few moments before we mutually agreed we must come back! Over the 4 days we spent at Oberon that feeling only grew stronger. We spent our time soaking in the hot tub under the shade of tall cedar trees, lounging and playing games on the beautiful wrap around deck, and collecting oysters and sand dollars on the beach. The home is so thoughtfully designed, built and decorated! It's a small indoor space but equally functional and beautiful, and the expansive private outdoor space makes it feel huge. This place is such a treasure, we hope to be back soon!

Absolutely Spectacular!

Our three-night stay at Oberon was absolutely magical. The property is stunning and accommodates everything you could ever need. The photos of the immaculate cottage, the picturesque fire pit, and the secluded deck don't begin to do it the justice it deserves. From the moment we drove onto the property, we were enchanted. Following the signs for Oberon, you have to drive down a long and winding perfectly maintained gravel road into a secluded forest of Sitka Spruce trees. The anticipation is palpable. Then, the cottage, along with a fantastic view of the Sound and Mt. Rainer comes into full view and the adventure begins. The cottage itself is clean, well decorated, and yet has a comfortable "at home" feel. We were some of the first few guests to stay at Oberon and even though it's a new listing, almost every detail you could think of are included. We often travel with a few kitchen gadgets to fill out the shortcomings of most home rentals, but none of them were necessary with Oberon. The space is intimate and would be a bit crowded for four adults (especially if the weather was rainy) but there is enough room to spread out and the upstairs "crows nest" transports you back to being a kid and building a fort, filling it with everything your imagination could conjure up. The only thing I would suggest bringing is a small portable night light for the bathroom. Climbing down the ladder from upstairs in pitch-black darkness can be a little tricky. Perhaps the best part of Oberon is the magnificent deck that wraps around the cottage. There's plenty of space to spread out, a completely secluded private hot tub, and amazing view of the Sound through the trees. All in all, this is one of the most incredible rental properties we've ever stayed at, especially if you're looking for a quiet, beautiful, relaxing, remote getaway for two people. Aside from a quick trip to the grocery store, we saw not a soul and wanted for nothing over the course of three nights. This place is a rare gem and we will definitely be coming back in the future.

Why they chose this property

Nothing beats beautiful beach views, secluded nature, hotdogs over the fire, barbequing on the deck, hot tubbing before bed, it's a lovely break from the busy, hustle and bustle of the city.
