NATURE'S PARADISE! WATERFRONT HOME ON HOOD CANAL, FANTASTIC VIEWS!

Our party of seven made the most of our stay, including catching our limits of Dungeness crab and picking up oysters at night on the gravel beach. The home includes all the equipment needed, including boats, crab pots, bait, boots, gloves, headlamps, oyster knives, a crab cooker, crab crackers & picks & a grill, but we also brought some of our own gear. It is a beautiful setting just south of Dosewallips state park. We enjoyed the view, the sunrises, nearby hiking, the hot tub, the amazingly well-equipped kitchen (including the waffle iron), the big dining room table, the flat screen TV which has a USB port, the fireplace and the comfortable beds. I will be curious to see what the upcoming remodel will add to the bottom floor.

We rented this lovely home for our twice yearly scrapbook retreat and it was perfect! Plenty of room for 8 of us to scrapbook or read or write or just watch movies. The setup is wonderful, because from virtually any vantage point in the dining or living room, you can either see the TV or the amazing view outside (which came complete with seals, birds of all kinds, boats, and the hummingbirds were so cool!). There is LOTS of room for spreading out downstairs as well as upstairs, and the kitchen is roomy and absolutely the best stocked of any we've rented. The owner made the entire process painless and enjoyable, and we thought the fresh flowers and handwritten note were an esepcially nice touch. Thank you for making our retreat absolutely perfect, we will be back! (P.S. The Geoduck just down the street also has amazingly delicious food!)

The views are unbelievably gorgous! There are fantastic views of Hood Canal, Dabob Bay, Mt. Rainier, and Mt. Baker from every floor and the multiple decks and dock. The home is cozy with it's open floor plan and wood stove. I have really enjoyed exploring the Dosewallips Estuary and the 29 acres of tide lands. It is easy access to the beach by walking down the stairs which have railings on both sides, The stairs go down to the dock and then to the beach. We have seen so many bald eagles and golden eagles that we can't count them all. My group went to the "secret waterfall" in Brinnon, it was so beautiful that we did not want to leave. The property and house is so peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed eating out at the Geoduck Restaurant and the Halfway House Restaurant. Brinnon is a nice small community with quaint stores where we rented movies. The owner does povide a library including books on hikes in the Olympic Mountains and Hood Canal. The owner has a binder of choices of things to do in the area which I really enjoyed looking at. The house has 3 levels and would be comfortable and private for a big group, it is nice that every level has a full bathroom. It would be so nice to be here with my family during Christmas or other holidays. My favorite food is dungeness crab and the men from our group went out crabbing right in front of the house and used the canoe on the dock. The owner also provided crab pots and crab bait for us to use. We caught 10 crab the first day and 8 crab the second day! We were in heaven and the men had a blast. We stuffed ourselves on crab. We could not believe how many oysters were on the beach. We cooked them on the barbecue and even people in our group that thought that they did not like oysters really enjoyed them.

We enjoyed relaxing in the waterside jacuzzi and the views from the spa were wonderful. We roasted marshmellows in the fire pit and hot dogs. We watched nature at it's best. The house and property is impeccably maintained, the house was very well stocked with everything we needed. We have been to many vacation rental homes in the past and this is our favorite. The owner was very helpful with answering questions promply and every part of our reservation, thank you Tammy we will definitely be back again and again!
