This was a fun little getaway for our Woodinville family. We kayaked and hot tubbed, every day. The weather pranked us, instead of being the usual hot August, we got a cool drizzly spell, but the solarium is where we hung out, because it was still toasty, even with the cool weather. We also brought our smaller dogs, who enjoyed the fully fenced yard. It reminded us of my grandparents’ cabin back in MN. We had a great time!

We had a wonderful time with our adult children and their girlfriends/spouses. The place was clean and the kitchen well stocked! The house is "rustic" and we would joke that it was a step up from Boy Scout camp. We loved the old house and appreciated the newer building too! This is a great place for a laid back family gathering. Not fancy or new but definitely charming and quirky. The solarium was great for dinner and games. We would definitely come back again!

We had a wonderful stay! The beach is so fun and the house worked well for us! It was in the mid-high 80s and with the owner's guidance on keeping it cool, it stayed comfortable. The owner is very quick to respond to any questions and concerns. The little welcoming touches were appreciated (sugar in the sugar bowl, plenty of dishes, lots of fans, etc).

It was a nice property and good stay, however all beds need new mattresses, hot tub only half jets work, toilet in main floor is very loose, sumo alarm goes off a lot even though only dishwasher was running, never had showers while there. Guest house has no dishes and can’t use dishwasher there. Air conditioner is only available in two rooms in main house. Lots of signs and rules all over, was kind of funny! Probably wouldn’t stay here again.

We stayed here for our big family vacation. Two parents in their 50s, a bunch of 20 somethings, and two small children. The house is very old and funky, but we liked its character. The view out the back and the ability to do different things (kayak, paddleboard, firepit, hot tub,walk around) was great. We chose this area because it was reasonably close to Seattle by ferry, Mount Rainier, and Olympic National Park. Owner Dave is top-notch. Timely communication all throughout the trip and even came to the property to help with an issue. Highly recommend.

Had a great reunion with friends at this group friendly property. Lots of great gathering places in the main house, the game room, and the sunroom. Plenty of spaces for quiet reflection, reading, or a cup of coffee as you watched the wildlife all about. Our group enjoyed the outdoor fire pit the most as we re connected each night over a beverage. Excellent and responsive owner/host who replied to inquiries promptly and gave us good advice for catching the ferry into Seattle. Nice stay for us!

We had so much fun staying here! We spent a lot of time looking at wildlife out on the water. The hot tub was broken for most of our stay which sucked because sitting in the tub looking out at the view was incredible!
If you are planning on doing any cooking maybe think about bringing things you REALLY need like a sharp knife or a spatula.
They had almost everything but have just seen a lot of love (:
Kayaks and paddle board were great!
Sitting in the solarium was so peaceful!
We would def come back

Overall the houses and property are nice. The main house is quite old and has some quirks. Door latches don't latch well. Difficult figuring out the light switches etc. Only shower in main house is downstairs, and takes at least 3 minutes to get hot water. Also desperatly needs a good cleaning. Also the toilet rocks back when you sit on it. Great view of the bay, and access to the water. Plenty of parking. Some bushes on one side of the driveway have grown about a third of the way out into the driveway, so you can't avoid having then hit the side of your vehicle as you drive past.

This rustic log home was a charming delight! Plenty of room for everyone with the added guest quarters. Multiple dining tables and meeting options. The grounds were beautiful with freshly mowed grass and easy access to the waterfront. Kayaks and paddle board at the ready. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and would rent again, with one condition. One of the draws to this home was the hot tub. It’s beautiful! You can sit in it and enjoy the open view of Puget Sound. Except that it was sandy and hadn’t had the appropriate chemical treatment. It was so musty and mildew smelling! Only one of our members got in, immediately got out and needed to shower. All of us could smell the mildew on her wet body in the house. If the owners would keep it treated and free from sand, this would be 5 starts all around!!

This charming log home and bonus huge bedroom and playroom accommodated our three kids & grandkids comfortably. We wisely hedged our weather bet by ensuring indoor options, but happily had two good days that satisfied our hopes for hot tubbing, beachcombing and kayaking (3 and a rowboat came with the property). Seals, bald eagles and shifting tides balanced convenient urban entertainment. Appliances and mattresses were all new, TV and internet were excellent when we weren't kayaking or enjoying the atrium, playing pool, ping pong, playing cards or enjoying an evening before an outdoor fire. The owners were responsive and flexible, and everything was kept up and well signed. One of our best for a large family!

We had a great time with family and friends for a four-night stay. Plenty of beds/bedrooms and a very comfortable house. We especially loved the solarium, it rained a lot while we were there and it was so nice to sit in there doing puzzles or playing games and hearing the rain! We weren't able to use any of the kayaks due to the weather, but we did see some cool birds, ducks and a few seals also! Hot tub was in superb condition and we loved roasting marshmallows for the one night it didn't rain:) Dave,the host was super communicative and it was a super quick and easy drive from Seattle.

First impression is the spacious inside where there was room to accommodate everyone comfortably. The house was clean, well stocked, great attention to detail, fabulous views and perfect in every way. It was a perfect place to sit back and relax. We did all our own cooking and found all we needed was provided. It was also easy access to the ferry and Seattle for out of owners who wanted to do a bit of sightseeing. Thank you for helping us make lots of memories.

My family spent Christmas here and it was ny nephews first Christmas! We had a wonderful time and there was enough space for everyone (8 adults, 1 baby, 1 dog) wothoutit feeling cramped. There were 3 tables which made doing a puzzle easy without having to clean up/move and the hot tub was wonderful! A few cleanliness issue (rat traps, ants) but the pros outweighed the cons. Unfortunately the hdmi ports had been damaged by previous guests so we were cautious about plugging in our items but gave us more family time to play board games. The host was wonderful and everyone loved their stay
a remarkable view. Thanks Dave for making this possible!

This place feels like home. Great for curling up with a book, board games and bonding with family. I hesitate to say too many good things, tho, or it won't be available for our next trip.

We had a lovely time! Only wish we could have stayed longer! Plenty od room for family, friends and the pups! Nice big kitchen and living room areas. The solarium is wonderful and the hot tub is a nice extra. We had fun roasting marshmallows un the fire pit. The shallow inlet stays warm enough to swim in, even at the end of September. Beautiful views with your own beachfront fun!

A great out of the way location. Great view of Dyes Inlet with seas and herons. Beautiful sunsets. Good kayaking ar hi tide. Easy access to local parks, Bremerton, Poulsbo, Silverdale and Port Orchard. Worked out great for 8 adults and three dogs with the additional guest house. Lovedi being able to pick pears and plums just feet from the house. Dave the host was readily available.

The property and general house was great! Not sure what you have going with the septic. That is definitely a problem that should be addressed. However the extra house and beach properties were a great fit for our family. Brought back many wonderful memories of living on the beach in Gig Harbor

We had a diverse age group of family from ages 3 to 71! Our Michigan family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed this vaca venue being on saltwater; kayaking; low tide shell discoveries and first time trying fresh steamed manilla clams. The house and guest house was remarkable for being almost 100 yrs old. What a fun experience. Weather was absolutely great; and we were able to watch the Suquamish Tribe harvest clams on this venues tide lands!! Dave, the host, was great to work with. We could have used a couple more rolls of TP for the 14 but we made it work!! We'd love to stay again some time.

We were a group of eight; age range 5-70. We had a great time sunbathing; paddle boarding; watching sea life and reading our novels.
The log cabin house had plenty of seating area to eat together or set-up puzzles or just chill.

Easy access to the beach made our stay exactly what we were hoping for. The beach exists even at high tide so there was always an opportunity to be beachfront. We had kids in our group and their favorite part was simply beach combing. The house met all our needs and had plenty of towels available, which our group appreciated!

Quiet, waterfront property with lots of outdoor stuff to do if weather is cooperating. Loved the game room and the sun room, comfy couches when weather was a little rainy. Close to all kinds of nightlife, walking trails etc. House was rustic but very comfortable.

Stayed here with my sisters and our kids for a weekend. We enjoyed the hot tub, kayaking, clam digging, cooking/eating meals together in the big kitchen and solarium, playing games at the big tables, and staying warm near the fire pit! It was perfect and cozy for our group and I hope we can plan another trip here again!

My husband and I and our adult aged kids enjoyed a wonderful time ringing in the new year at this spacious, well equipped home. We all enjoyed spending time in the beautiful solarium watching the eagles and seals and curling up with a good book. The instructions for the property were clear and concise and answered all of our questions. Dave was a clear and very responsive communicator as well. If you have a large group , this is an ideal place to stay with both buildings available. We loved the character of the house and enjoyed our time immensely. It certainly would be fun to go back in the summer time ! I would definitely recommend this property!

Each year, four families go somewhere for a long weekend for a holiday getaway. This house was great for our large group. Our kids vary from 1-14 years old and everyone had a great time!
We hope to book again during the warmer months.
