A little piece of Rainer over the canal.

This was a beautiful property. Spacious and comfortable with lots of activities. There was always something to do. It was also very relaxing. Watching the marine life was one of my favorite parts. I hope to stay there again.

Family Waterfront Luxury !!

The online pictures do not do justice for the reality of the home. From the inviting entrance to the panoramic views from inside and the relaxing balcony seating PLUS the water activities! Our family enjoyed the weekend getaway - there was something fun to do for all ages! The comfort of home but the luxury of a hotel resort. We will definitely be back and have already referred family and friends.

This place was perfect for our family from 62 down to teenage boys. The setup was great, views from every window, fun swim spa and the dock perfect to store our boat and go out on morning fishing trips. We all had a great time and would come back again in a heart beat!!

We had an incredible stay and couldn’t have asked for a better host. Kathryn was exceptionally responsive from the moment we booked, answering every question promptly and making the check-in process seamless. She went above and beyond with a thoughtful welcome package, and our family especially loved making s’mores together using the supplies she provided—it became one of our favorite memories from the trip. Her attention to detail, hospitality, and genuine care for her guests made us feel right at home. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area! Note - the hot tub is amazing!

About the host

Host profile image
We love how many wonderful memories we've made at our beach house. We enjoy meeting new guests and their families and hope the experience here, will bring memorable moments for all.

Why they chose this property

Hood Canal is a quiet town just 30 min from Olympia. It feels like vacation but it's not too far away and does not require a lot of planning. We love this area because it's surrounded by nature, wildlife and the beautiful views. If you're an outdoor adventurer, you're in for a treat. There are many nearby hikes, not to mention famous Lake Cushman, Mount Ellinor in the Olympic National Park. It's very family friendly! The town of Hoodsport is quaint with many tour guides and local restaurants. If you've ever heard of famous Hama Hama Saloon, it's only 18 mins drive from our location.

What makes this property unique

Our property stands out as one of few homes with its own dock. The view of the Canal is phenomenal. I cannot do it justice with words. You have my personal invite to come see it in person.
