Washington officially became a state in 1889. Only a few years later, this all-wood cabin was constructed by some of the first white settlers occupying the farthest reaches of Puget Sound. Although it has been lovingly restored, the original structure remains – and you can even spend the night here. This cozy cabin is perfect for a relaxing, secluded getaway.

The Stanley House was originally constructed in the 1890s, built in the rough-hewn archaic style that was common back then.

In 1928, a group floated barges of finished lumber across the Puget Sound from West Seattle to build a row of waterfront cabins that looked like this one. But the Stanley House is the only one that remains.
You'll find this historic cabin sitting right on the water between Shelton and Bremerton, in a quiet, rugged setting.

It isn't uncommon to see wildlife on the property, especially rabbits, deer, and raccoons.
You won't find five star accommodations here -- and that's the point.

The cabin, while in good shape for its age, is definitely showing signs of wear and tear. That being said, everything here is clean, comfortable, and safe.
