About this property

Olympic National Park, Hood Canal, & Brinnon Waterfront House

(HOUSE HAS FAST NEW WIFI SERVICE NOW)-------Get away from the big city, the stresses of life, and just kick back and hang on our huge deck and watch as eagles occasionally fly by — so close, it feels like you can touch them. Be sure to bring a camera.

This home are close to many attractions to the Olympic National Park and is a very private, quiet, relaxing retreat. From the deck, guests see nothing but water looking both north and south, where you can view wildlife. Our waterfront home house offers spectacular views with 130 feet of low bank beach on Hood Canal. The location offers a nature’s paradise to view wildlife, on occasion we have seals on our beach and sometimes you can hear and see them sing to each other at night. Home is a cozy older house for a place to totally get away from it all.

Eagles often glide by as close as 50 yards from the deck, great blue herons nest 75 yards away, and sometimes you will see deer hanging in the driveway in total peaceful tranquility. The panoramic water views of the beautiful Hood Canal from our giant wood deck are breathtaking and you are less then five minutes from Mount Walker where you can drive and see views of the Seattle skyline or, if you look in the opposite direction, you will see the beautiful snow peaks of the Olympics Mountain range.

If hiking is your thing, there are hundreds of beautiful trails nearby in the Olympic National Park. Hungry — head south nearby to Brinnon for two high quality restaurant for meals. Then come back home for a sunset kayak in front from the house. Swimming, fishing, and crabbing are possible there as well. It is a total paradise and a place to totally get away from it all.

The fully stocked kitchen, with a glorious view of the deck and water, includes a tiny breakfast bar. Our dining area has a table that seats six. It’s a great time to just kick back and enjoy the view and serenity of this peaceful place. The kitchen opens into the dining room and living room where you will never get tired of the incredible panoramic view of the water. Sunrises are gorgeous and sitting out on the oversized deck at night looking at the full moon’s reflection on the water is a great way to relax at the end of your day.

If you prefer to not cook, The Halfway House nearby is famous for excellent home cooking and homemade pies. Esquire magazine chose the nearby Geoduck Restaurant and Tavern #2 as “Best Bar in America,” and Pleasant Harbor Marina, just down the road, offers superb pizza and sandwiches. To the north is Quilcene, historic Port Townsend and Port Angeles. Hurricane Ridge, out of Port Angeles, is a great place for hiking. Port Townsend is a great spot for antiquing and the Victorian homes are incredible to see.

The home offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed, flat screen tv with Dish, a dresser and closet. Second bedroom comes with a queen-sized bed, flat tv, and a closet, the third has a queen bed and flat tv, the fourth bedroom is a loft that has a 2 single size beds. There is a flat-screen tv in the living room as well with satellite tv. A king-sized washing machine and dryer are also available.

Bring your fishing poles and check out the many rivers that flow into Hood Canal.
Nearby Dosewallips State Park, with acres of clams and oysters and geoduck, is also a great place to beach comb at low tide. Brinnon is a hiker’s paradise and there are spectacular trails and waterfalls in Brinnon or in the nearby Olympic National Park. Or check out the great mountain biking trails. Divers can see several species of rockfish, octopus and all sorts of crabs. A little further down the road is Mount Walker. A short drive up the mountain at the scenic view area, you will be blown away by the spectacular views of the Olympic Mountain range and turn your head back east and see the City of Seattle skyline. Our house is centrally located on the edge of the Olympic National Park is an ideal location as a base for adventures to explore the park. Olympic National Park covers 922,651 acres of three distinct habitat zones, the alpine region, the coastline and the temperate rain forest. At 1,441 square miles, the park is larger than Rhode Island(1,214 square miles). In 1976, the park was named an International Biosphere Reserve by United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, the park was made a World Heritage Site by the World Heritage Convention.

Come to our home on Hood Canal and make memories that will last you a lifetime!

Spacious home with wonderful views

There was plenty of room for five adults to get comfortable in the common areas and cook in the well equipped kitchen. Washington weather was cool and windy, so walks on the beach were chilly, but the views from the kitchen, deck and bathtub made it so staying inside was just fine. We hope to return to this lovely home!

Peaceful and relaxing with space for all

The home was clean and very peaceful with four rooms /sleeping areas. Watching the bald eagles fly by each morning was a definite highlight. Walking on the beach during low tide to harvest clams and oysters was icing on the cake. Both Ellen and Lou were very helpful and shared information about the local sites and things to do. We plan on returning for another visit.

Great getaway

Well lived-in cozy and comfortable quiet stay. This is my 5th or 6th time staying at this property, and will do so again in the future. Cell reception cuts in and out, but has reliable high speed internet. Kitchen has basic cookware and serving utensils. Deck has a great quiet view of the water. Air hockey and fooseball are great to have.

Peaceful,remote

House clean and comfortable. Bed in master wonderful (only one we used). Communication with property manager (owner) excellent. Lots of fresh oysters on beach when tide is out. We didn’t use the kayaks as they were tiny sit-on-top type that was more like a paddle board than kayak. House is in a very private setting. Nice deck and deck furniture. This place is remote. 45 minutes to any shopping. House didn’t have any condiments in fridge and few staples. Did have a good amount of savory spices but nothing for any baking. There are a handful of good restaurants within 15-30 minutes. We really enjoyed hiking in the area. Hikes closest to house were in Olympic National Park and were more strenuous but do able. You will need a Washington Discover pass for any other hiking which had a lot more choice of family trails in their State Parks close by. We really enjoyed our stay and everything was great.

Very Disappointed!

The photos of the property are old and very very misleading!! The outside landscape is in desperate need of maintenance. Inside of property needs a very thorough cleaning, beginning with toilets. Outside of refrigerator needs cleaning as does the stove and inside of the oven. Floor around the refrigerator needs cleaning. Amenities.... TV in living room is the only one that has any kind of service provided. The TV's in bedrooms are for playing DVDs only. No air-conditioning in the bedroom off of the "gameroom" or upstairs loft area. Asked the host about it and was told there were fans in the closet to use. Shower in Master bedroom was horrible. Hardly any water pressure. Very outdated! Washer and dryer was located in a bedroom closet and the washer had an odor. Needless to say we did no laundry. Also, space was limited in the bedroom. There were seven towels and three wash cloths. There were five of us. I guess we were expected to share the wash cloths. All in all very disappointed!

This property is large and very clean. The host is very responsive and friendly. Lots of room for guests to spread out. The property is well appointed and the kitchen has a lot of basics…spices, oil, Saran Wrap, etc. The location is in a quiet area of Hood Canal. The view from the property is stellar. The deck, which is the best feature of the property needs some attention. It needs to be refinished as paint is peeling and there are warped boards. That didn’t stop us from enjoying it though, we just made sure we always wore shoes. I would recommend this property to a friend.

We really enjoyed ourselves. Our suggestions are to do some safety upgrades (deck has missing panel on rail and wood is rotten in places), more plates and towels (6 each was not enough), and basic maintenance (leak under sink, towel rack falling off wall, mildew in shower, screen bent in dining room window so we couldn’t open without bugs coming in…etc.) All this was reported and was told it would be fixed. I hope safety issues are fixed before little ones go out on deck. Again, thank you for sharing your home.

Great house, good location, pictures are outdated

The house overall is great and very spacious. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The immediate area is beautiful and there are lots of Places to explore within an hour. There are 2.5 bathrooms and three bedrooms plus a loft which worked great for us. The game room area was fun and again overall the actual house was terrific. Our only major complaint is that the lead picture is pretty misleading. The gorgeous view in that picture is much different and more or less blocked now by trees for at least 80% off the deck. The deck also is in a bit of rough shape but still overall the house was wonderful. Not having the view was unfortunate as it was definitely something we were looking forward too but we could walk down to the water still.
