Amazing waterfront cabin experience
I went here with friends for a birthday weekend and had a wonderful time. The house was very spacious and roomy, and there were more than enough beds and blankets for all of us. The main heater works well for the family room, and smaller space heaters in each bedroom made it so we could each set our desired sleeping temperature.
The VIEWS are absolutely incredible, I did not get tired of waking up to the beautiful Hood Canal and all of the animal life right outside the window (we got to see several Bald Eagles that nest in the area). And the beachfront access was delightful -- we were able to dig up some oysters on the beach to enjoy, and it was great to experience the marine ecosystem. We also really enjoyed the fire pit out back for an evening of smores.
Location was perfect -- a few hours outside Seattle (where we came from) but plenty of grocery stores along the way, and the local grocery store is pretty well-stocked with essentials (though I would bring in gluten-free/vegan options as there is less selection of those items). The kitchen is also fully stocked with all manner of baking and cooking items, utensils, serveware, etc. which was great for us, since we made a big Costco run and did most of our cooking at home. Huge for cutting down on food costs! Functioning dishwasher and onsite pods also made it easy to clean up.
If you want a balance between the great outdoors and small-town vibes, this is the perfect homebase. We really enjoyed a daytrip to Port Townsend to do a wine tasting and shopping, as well as a delicious lunch at nearby Hama Hama Oyster Saloon. Lots of great hiking in Olympic National Park/Forest, as well -- we will definitely be coming back and exploring the Olympic Peninsula some more!
