Wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay and loved the back deck and stairs down to the water. The game room was tons of fun and well stocked. Great for our group of 4 adults and 2 pre-teens. Would absolutely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay. The view was majestic, the layout was awesome for visiting with friends and family. The outdoor space with the deck, the hottub, and the beach could not be better. Awesomeness all around! The steps up from the beach helped me work off my s'more calories.

Fabulous per usual. A mix of outdoor and indoor gathering places makes the Eldon House a great place to connect with family and friends. The exceptional view and easy beach access is nothing to sneeze at either. Thanks again for allowing us to stay at your beautiful property, we look forward to coming back next year.

What an amazing piece of property! Views from every room, and so quiet and peaceful. Sonny was very responsive and kept us updated on orca sightings! We saw seals and bald eagles every day! Beautiful and highly recommend. We were a party of six and had plenty of room. We were also able to get to Olympic National Park, Seattle, and Mt. Rainier fairly easy from the Eldon House.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled that you had such a memorable stay at the Eldon House.It is fantastic to hear that your party of six had plenty of space to relax and enjoy those peaceful, panoramic views. Mother Nature certainly put on a show for you with daily seal and bald eagle sightings. We love that you were able to easily explore Seattle, Olympic National Park, and Mount Rainier all from one comfortable home base.You were wonderful guests, and we would love to welcome you and your group back the next time you head out to the coast! Safest travels until then!

This was probably one of our top 3 family vacations. The house was perfect. The views were absolutely amazing! Sitting in the hot tub looking out at the water and enjoying the views. Sitting around the fire pit making smores and looking at all the stars. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer.
