Nature at Your Doorstep:
Olympic National Forest Ranger Station in Quilcene carries full information on recreation in the forest. Hiking, gorgeous scenery, and plenty of peace and quiet. Hood Canal offers a wide range of water activity, and seafood as fresh as you can get it. Clamming is a popular activity along Hood Canal. We have set up a shellfish/seafood cleaning table outdoors with access to a hose, and ask that you do not clean seafood in the house. Without ever leaving the property, you are likely to see deer passing through, and many species of birds. At the right season, salmon can sometimes be seen in the Little Quilcene River.
