Great care has been taken to provide historically romantic ambiance.

Intriguing wildlife observation and continually evolving views that will materialize before you. AWE inspiring and sweeping Hood Canal with breathtaking skyline color changes at sunset and sunrise that include Mt. Rainier. Resident harbor seals and their pups are always fun to watch along with the otter family that lives at the base of your beach stairs. Great fun to spot beaver and local Roosevelt Elk herd that drop by the beach and yard. Numerous bald eagles that fly right outside your window, and can be quite a thrill when flying just feet away.

THE LITTLE EXTRAS.....Cleaning takes place the day of your arrival for a home that is warm, inviting and low allergen. Wood starter package for a crackling fire and kitchen, dining and bath products provided. High powered ZOOM binoculars that bring wildlife and Trident sub activity up close and personal is always a treat. Rubber boots and fishing poles are just a few of the extras. So many amenities from beautiful stemware, numerous spices, to built in magnifying mirrors in all bathrooms, and romantic atmosphere by candlelight. The large bonfire ring with built in split log seating near the moonlit waters edge are memories waiting to be made. Don't miss the plump, sweet blackberries on site mid to late summer.
Best Bar in America is a close three minute walk at the Geoduck Restaurant, with waterfront deck seating. Additionally, the Half Way House Restaurant/Bakery offers legendary pies/desserts, and home style cooking. Fabulous pizza, sandwiches and salads, with indoor/outdoor waterfront seating is now available at Pleasant Harbor Marina less than 2 minutes away.
Although the home sleeps 8, the nightly rate is based on 4 guests. Additional guests are charged $39.00/night. This is due to additional wear on the 100+ year old home.
PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED.

Summary: The house felt like happy people lived there for a century. It is very well loved and cared for, with a stunning view and gardens. It was cozy and elegant, and we loved learning about the house's family. We loved being on the water, and feet from Doswallips State Park where we took walks, and enjoyed the river, and lookout points, and hikes. The town is small and friendly. We enjoyed everything about our stay. We just wish we could have stayed longer. It was a breathtaking beautiful place. I actually got to wade around in proximity to a bunch of seals who seemed annoyed but not too bothered by my presence. They also provided binoculars at the house. We spent hours watching wildlife. I did not look at my phone, a computer, or a t.v. once. I didn't miss it. In fact, I feel like I've been reminded that the life around me can be far more enriching than what is on a screen.
