Why they chose this property
The canal is unique BEYOND the diving it is a great location at the foot of the Olympic mountains. The house is located north of Shelton but less than an hour from Olympia, Washington. You can choose to go hiking, kayaking, crabbing, fishing, golfing or relaxing at a local casino, all within an hours drive. It is the perfect place to get away, without having to drive for hours. You are able to change your mind or plans with little effort. Most everyone in your group can be accommodated. This property has been a popular scuba diving destination for over 20 years. It is within just a few hours of Seattle and Portland Oregon. The hood canal is known world wide for its large pacific octopus, seals, occasional resident Orcas, Wolf Eels, Crab, squid etc...
What makes this property unique
The house was a farmhouse built sometime in the 1900's (?) so the locals say. Nobody knows for sure. We did have a guest who was 90 years old. She said she lived in the house when she was 10 years old, when her family ran it as a traveler's boarding house. The house still boasts its unique character - Fir walls, long front porch and a barn on site. The house is solid wood on the upper floors. When you first walk in you see the exposed Fir ceiling and wood floors. We have updated the property to modern conveniences, without losing the charm of the 1920's farmhouse. The windows are updated vinyl but were built to replace the original wood windows with leaded glass. You get the charm of an old farmhouse by the water with modern day conveniences.
