It was great to have an open concept kitchen where 2 people cooking didn’t get in each other’s way. The rooms were comfortable and the view was awesome! The scenery was quiet and it great to walk down to beach and collect shells. Thank you

Beautiful Place!
We were absolutely blown away by the beauty of this place and the setting! The views were splendid and the easy access to the beach was so nice. The interior of the house is lovely too! There is ample room and the layout is very conducive for a large group like we had! We had some very young ones in our group, so the upper balconies were a bit scary. We did our best to block all access to the 3rd story for them though! The one big negative was the bedding. It was extremely uncomfortable in pretty much every single room. The pillows were all flat and the mattresses were old and hard. We stayed there 7 nights and by the end my husband and I both had pretty sore backs! (And we're young lol;) That was a big disappointment, in that you expect the accommodations to be comfortable in a place of that caliber and price range. Hopefully that will change in the future! Other than that it was a wonderful place to stay. The setting/location could not have been nicer. We hope to be back someday!! Thank you so much for opening your place up to us.

Women's Retreat
This was the perfect place for 9 of us to gather and reflect. The house is large enough so we could have our own rooms or personal sleeping spaces and the kitchen is perfect for cooking. Everything you could want is there! We used the fire pit and appreciated having all the chairs available. The forest grounds and accessibility to the water added to the ambiance. Great porch too!

We had a Great stay. The property has a beautiful view. The bed in the master bedroom is not good. Just a thin mattress over two bed springs that are not the same height. We opted another bed which was ok. Overall though the beautiful scenery and large wrap around porch made up for it

Between the Holidays Getaway
Our family including young adult kids, grannies, cousins, and dog had a fabulous mid-holiday break at this Hood Canal home. The house was very spacious, with several different gathering areas plus ample private spaces. The property is gorgeous with lawns, beach access, and the most beautiful wrap around porch which was perfect for enjoying the views while it was a bit rainy. Hosts were immediately responsive to our questions and requests. We would love to come back again!

We were incredibly moved by the host's thoughtful Christmas gifts and decorations. Coming from the city, we especially appreciated the careful explanations about the hard water. Our whole family was so satisfied spending a warm, cozy Christmas here. We can't thank you enough for everything.

Fantastic For Family and Friends
Couldn’t ask for a more Scenic view and loads of space for everyone to feel like they have their own spot. We really enjoyed our time here and used the state of the art kitchen to prepare a big meal for 13 people. This would not be possible at all places we have stayed at. The bedding throughout was very nice and all the beds were comfortable. The sauna is absolutely fantastic addition and was enjoyed by our entire group. Beautiful views from every balcony of which there are several. Also multiple bathrooms which is nice when traveling with teenage girls :) the host Shirley was amazing! Great contact and follow up before and during our stay. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous place for a family gatherin
We hosted a family birthday weekend here for 15+ adults. It was a perfect venue. To start off, it was spotless. The kitchen was large, clean and very well stocked with large pots, ample dishes and wine glasses and lots of condiments and spices available. The dining room table opens up much larger than in the picture, and there are plenty of chairs to go around it. The grassy yard stretches out in front of the house with a gorgeous view of the Hood Canal. The firepit looking over this beautiful view was a wonderful way to end the evening. The house works rain or shine due to the lovely, large wrap around porch. Everything was provided - from firewood for the inside fireplace to logs for the firepit, to a large gas BBQ, as well as a charcoal BBQ. Our host, Shirley, answered all our questions and showed us all around the place upon check in. Highly recommend this great place for your next large gathering.

Great property for a large group!
The property was fantastic for our 3 family gathering of 12 people total! The house is huge and well stocked with what you need and whatever they don't have you can grab at one of the nearby grocery stores. Everyone enjoyed the ample yard space, fire pit, and beach access (the kids loved looking for crabs and shells)! The location was great for exploring the Olympic Peninsula!

Decent place but some things lacking
Nice house and decent property. Listing says hot tub but there was none and manager just blew off our question about why. Some bedrooms don’t have window coverings, a major issue in June when sun is up at 5am. Lacking in supplies as had to ration paper towels and trash bags. Place was clean and no ick factors and despite few issues noted we enjoyed our stay a lot. Manager was responsive and answered our texts very timely.

Book Club Play Reading Getaway
This house worked very well for our two-night women's book club getaway. We are all in our seventies, so having plenty of bedrooms and, especially, bathrooms was wonderful. The house was short on a few things, such as Kleenex and table napkins (there were none that we could find), and the smallest bedroom lacked curtains or shades on the windows and had a wonky table lamp) but everything else was very well appointed. There was a mix-up with the booking (the house was somehow double-booked for our days) but we had the flexibility to find different days for our group, unlike the other group, which had booked if for a family wedding, and the owner and manager bent over backwards to make it work for us. The manager was very accessible and helpful throughout. The property was lovely, but a little remote in the sense that there was no convenience store for missing supplies within a short driving distance. Our book club did a play reading of "The Mouse Trap," by Agatha Christie, which is set in an English country lodging house, so the living room with its huge stone fireplace was a real asset to our "set"!

We needed a large place for about 10 of us to stay for a local wedding. The house did not disappoint! Large enough for all of us, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the views cannot be beat! We had enough room to host the rehearsal dinner on the lawn even! The host was very accommodating and communicated well. We'd love to return!!

Very relaxing with beach access
The house was perfect, the kitchen was well equipped, the large dinning table held all 10 of us easily and sitting around the fire was great. It was a beautiful retreat from the city life and being with friends and family was sublime. And with all the nature and quietness with only your group of people around you you're only 10/15 minutes away from a Walmart (that's crazy).
