About this house rental

The perfect 'beach house' experience awaits you at the Madrona Cottage at Pleasant Cove. The newly remodeled 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on the shores of Hood Canal has been the treasured jewel of our family for 4 generations and we can't wait to share the magic of this idyllic spot with you: A low bank waterfront with expansive tidelands gives you easy access to clams and oysters, and of course Hood Canal's pristine waters. Also famous for the warmest waters in Puget Sound reaching 70 degrees in Pleasant Cove during mid-summer. The waters of Hood Canal are perfect for all water sports. Madrona Cottage boasts a deep wooded lot (one acre) next to the salmon-bearing Stimson creek, separating you from the hustle-and-bustle and gives you a serene connection to nature. Unlike many homes on Hood Canal The Madrona Cottage is separated from the road by a wooded buffer.

Enjoy your morning coffee from the wrap around deck of the cottage or launch one of the kayaks and explore Hood Canal. Send the Kids to the beach for beach-combing, swimming or join them in the woods to explore the stream. In the fall, experience the struggle of the salmon as they migrate from Hood Canal up Stimson Creek to spawn. Take the family on a nature walk up Elfendahl Pass Road (directly across from our driveway) as it follows the stream. The Tahuya ORV park is 6 miles away up Elfendahl Pass Road as well as a popular spot for shooting sports. There are also many hiking opportunities in the Tahuya State Forest just north of the Madrona Cottage. (https://www.hikingproject.com/directory/8019513/tahuya-state-forest)

In the evening enjoy a sunset dinner on the deck with your 180 degree view of the canal and south shore lights. Cozy up around the fire pit, making s’mores or just sipping wine under the stars.

Cottage amenities include: fully stocked, large, gourmet kitchen with brand new appliances, all the cooking utensils needed to prepare a gourmet meal, washer and dryer, Keurig coffee maker, propane barbecue, shaded deck, 2 kayaks, 1 row boat. The lawn is big enough to accommodate your lawn games. The public boat ramp is a few driveways away and we have parking for three cars (or, with one car, even your ORV or trailered boat). Perfect for families and groups up to 7 people. We look forward to hosting you!

Fall special: view the salmon returning to spawn in our creek in the month of November see reduced rates.

Our family of 4 stayed for 8 nights and had an amazing time! The cottage was just steps away from the water, great for paddle boarding and kayaking. The south facing beach was in full sun while the large madrone tree provided ample shade. We harvested clams one morning during low tide and had fresh clams that night. The wrap-around deck provided unobstructed views of Hood Canal and had many different seating arrangements (both covered and uncovered). Overall a truly special and well loved location.

We had a wonderful stay at the Madrona Cottage. We were looking for a few days of quiet, rest, and natural beauty away from work, noise, and the pressures of life and found it here. The owners are delightful, respectful, and have thought ahead of everything one can need during their stay and left it available at the cottage. Beautifully redone cottage with an amazing view. We were only an hour away from home but felt like we were on an island where time just stopped and the beauty of God’s creation just renewed our spirits. There was a lovely basket of treats and my teenage kids loved the otter pops too. We look forward to making this a special place to visit again.

I spent many summers on the canal not far from Madrona Cottage. When our property was sold, I vowed I would bring my family and friends back to the canal each summer to swim in the warm canal water we all loved so much. This is the 2nd summer we rented Madrona Cottage and it is by far the BEST rental we've been able to enjoy. Finding such a lovely place, set back from the busy road, not far from Belfair and with such a beautiful beach and yard facing the water is difficult to find. The well stocked kitchen with it's large island made meal preparation so easy. We loved sitting on the large wrap around porch enjoying our morning coffee and watching the watching the critters on the beach. As the tide came in we sat under the beautiful madrona tree, Kayaked or swam in the warm, water. In the evening after eating on the deck and enjoying the sunset or another swim, we all could gather around the large dining room table and laugh and play games as we watched the moon set over the water. Having 2 bathrooms, plus the outdoor shower was especially useful. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have the options of using fans or air conditioning during the hot day. We had a wonderful 4 days on this this beautiful property and thank Rob and Earline for offering their beautiful property.

We had a small wedding ceremony on this property VIEW VIEW. quiet and serene. The adult children loved the kayaks and we loved the shallow swimming in 70degree water.. A friendly seal visited us at night on a near by water platform..Birds eagles and lots of flowers adorned the visit.We took a long walk one day but stayed close to home as the temperature rose. We cooked and appreciated the AC. This is a beautiful property. We all agreed with another review that better pillows would be a plus ..I would imagine this would be a wonderful Winter retreat as well. Amenities are close by
