Photos and Description of the Seattle vacation house rental
Private 2 BR 1 BA Home, Sleeps 6 (King, Queen, 2 Twin)

Escape to the beauty and majesty of the Pacific Northwest in this secluded, custom-built waterfront home. This is the kind of place you might go to write a book or just get away from it all. Enjoy views of bald eagles, deer, blue heron, osprey, and salmon right off the wraparound deck. In addition to the natural beauty, the home was designed with your complete comfort in mind, with high ceilings, mahogany floors, and a huge kitchen. It's located just outside the charming town of Gig Harbor and is also close to the Olympic Rainforest, Seattle, Mount Rainier, and many other Western Washington destinations.

This is truly a unique getaway that is guaranteed to recharge and de-stress. Everyone should be so lucky as to experience this kind of environment at least once in their lifetime.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Seattle, Washington

The Master Bedroom and Kitchen:

The master bedroom includes a king-size Englander mattress with 400-plus thread-count sheets. The luxurious bed and tranquil silence ensure restful nights, from which you will wake to stunning views of the bay and wildlife. The kitchen has an amazing view! Prepare the day's catch with a complete view of the bay and stream. The kitchen includes top-quality appliances, commercial grade cookware, a professional knife set, as well as complete sets of wine glasses, cups, plates and silverware for six.

The Deck and Wildlife Viewing:

The deck is just a few feet from the stream and provides the perfect vantage point for wildlife viewing (especially birding).

For anyone who has never experienced a true Alaska-style salmon stream*, it's pretty incredible! The freshwater stream is very clear. You can see the fish right from the deck. And of course, the eagles are there for the salmon as well. The Salish House is also home to cranes, osprey and other bird life. It's the Discovery Channel right outside your door.

i 'We saw at least five Bald Eagles! It was pretty incredible to see the eagles, salmon and other wildlife. I felt like I was in a National Park. It's my dream home. It really is.' -Guy Smith, Spokane, WA /i

The Area and Activities:

Enjoy shopping, dining, and art galleries just minutes away from the house. It's just a bit further to experience Seattle, Mount Rainier, or the Olympic Rain forest. The location of the house is perfect for those looking to experience the great outdoors as well as have fun in the city or just relax in secluded elegance. Find your favorite place to watch for salmon, read or just relax among old-growth cedar stands, ferns and streams. It's absolutely breathtaking! The property is just three miles from Horseshoe lake and Horseshoe lake golf course. In addition it's within a 20 minute drive of three world class courses: McCormick Woods, Trophy Lake and Gold Mountain. In addition to golf, kayaking, sailing, hiking and beach combing are popular activities in the area. The Purdy Spit is just a few miles down the road. Hunt for shells or just swim and relax in the sun.

Ski:

The Salish House is 90 minutes from Crystal Mountain Ski Resort. Crystal Mountain was recently rated as the 7th best ski resort in North America. It has huge terrain and a spectacular view of Mount Rainier.

Golf:

McCormick Woods, Gold Mountain, and Trophy Lake Golf and Cast are all within a twenty minute drive of the house. These are some of finest golf courses in Washington State. If you golf, they are really worth checking out.

Salish house stay

Review Submitted: July 30, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
A true gem of a property. Beautiful location by the creek, trees everywhere, bald eagles spotted flying past daily or perched on the trees opposite the creek, whilst the great blue heron was a daily visitor at dawn on the exposed river bed. The house was clean and well maintained with all mod cons necessary for an enjoyable and comfortable stay. The housekeeper and owner were both extremely helpful to say the least and gave u s plenty of advice and tips re the area and our arrival as we travelled from the UK.
We used the house as a base to visit mt rainier, mt St Helens, Boeing, point defiance zoo, north west trek wildlife park and a whale watching day out via sea plane. We enjoyed using the various ferries to get across or back from Seattle too. Whilst most trips required an hours
driving at least they were all manageable as day trips and it was always so lovely to return to this beautiful property and relax there. There was so much more we could have done or visited had we had more days.
A truly special stay for us(2 adults and one 6 year old).

Blissful

Review Submitted: November 7, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2010
My husband and I stayed here just this past week with our 2 kids (4 & 2) and could not have been more thrilled. We loved the tide rising and falling right off the balcony, the seals we spotted swimming within feet of the property, the fireplaces which kept us cozy, the windows opening up to the beautiful surroundings and MOST of all, the secluded location. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, but were within minutes of delightful Gig Harbor and not that far from Seattle. The place was also perfect for our kids - there were toys in the closet and we had not a moment of boredom. It killed us to leave. We have nothing but wonderful things to say and so many happy memories. Thank you!!!

Review Submitted: December 9, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2009
Salish House was the perfect retreat for my wife and I. The house met all of our expectations and more. We spent 2 weeks relaxing and enjoying the peaceful, rural scenery. The location is great - minutes away from Gig Harbor, ferries to Seattle, wonderful restaurants in Gig Harbor and other nearby towns - or just relaxing on the deck and watching the salmon swim by. We look forward to returning for another restful time away.

Great Nature Get Away

Review Submitted: January 19, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
We stayed in the Salish House and what an amazing escape from our hectic lives in the Bay Area...it was exactly what we were looking for. The house and area were absolutely beautiful and peaceful, and if you needed a bit of noise, there was Gig Harbor where you could find a good restaurant, cool antique shops, and a good spa. Carrie the house manager was very responsive and helpful, always there to answer questions, give us tips on checking out the area, and address any little inconveniences (i.e, BBQ was out of repair). As soon as possible, we will be returning to enjoy another peaceful holiday.

Salish House

Review Submitted: July 1, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
The house was nice, the beds were excellent as well as the kitchen. Not enough privacy between bedrooms. We did have a few minor billing issues, but communication did cause some frustration. The Deck need some repair, but overall it was a pleasant stay in a nice area.
