First off- communication with Tom was prompt and courteous! This home is a must visit for your vacation. Master bedroom/on-suite was very large and comfortable. View out to the water amazing from bed! We found the mattress and linen extremely comfortable!!! The gardens at this home are absolutely enchanting! I didn’t get tired of looking at them. Large deck, with (2) additional decks below. I would often sit at the middle deck with my binoculars in hand. So much wildlife to enjoy. Eagles, heron, kingfisher, otters, seals & a raccoon that would visit Tom & Mary’s strawberries daily (so cute)! Visited Mt. Walker viewpoint - definitely worth the trip - amazing views and encountered so many friendly people that we visited with! We spent most of our time on the deck relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Would definitely visit this home again and recommend to friends. Thank you again Tom & Mary for sharing your lovely property with us!!

Weather didn't cooperate but that did not detract from the view this space offered from the inside. The home itself was roomy enough for the kids to do their thing while the wife and I relaxed. Hopefully our next visit greets us with sunshine so we can spend all the time outside on the magnificent deck!

The house has an amazing view. Good location near close to trails and views in Olympic state park. We hiked, had dinner at local restaurants recommended by host-Geoducks and Hama Hama oyster saloon. Kayaking with provided kayaks was fun. Beds were clean and comfortable.

Amazing views from every part of the home! Comfortable beds and seating throughout the house. The sun room is an extra bonus to sit in after being out in the cold. The deck was perfect, we saw seals, so many birds and raccoons at the shore. Low tide was great to walk in the beach to explore. A short drive away is a great hike , steam donkey trail, the hike views were gorgeous. Wr had lunch at the geoduck lounge and drive to the unique Hama Hama seafood spot. Great communication from host at checking and checkout to guide on steps to access and leave home. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Wonderful stay with great views…even when foggy. Got to eat at the Geoduck Lounge one day and made it down to Hama Hama for some great oysters another. I’ll be back in the summer!

Our family spent 3 nights here in December, and though we couldn't enjoy the huge deck as well as summer visitors, we appreciated the great views of the water that are visible from most of the house. Saw seals and bald eagles during our stay. Hama Hama oysters are only a 15 minute drive away and well worth the quick trip. Beds were comfortable, and the kitchen extremely well stocked, including both a rice cooker and an electric kettle.

My two girlfriends and I had a wonderful 2 night stay and would stay again. The house was clean, linens were nice, and had all the kitchen items we needed to cook up some good food. We played the games provided, which was great, but don't put together the butterfly puzzle. It is missing some pieces. We did put a note in it for future guests. The view is so beautiful and serene. We wanted to kayak but weather wasn't that great for us, so we just watched tv, movies, and played games. I can see how wonderful the deck area would be in good weather. The Geoduck is walking distance if you want to go out for drinks or food. Tom was very helpful during our stay. We lost power and a needed a few more logs for warmth on our first night. Tom came to our rescue. Fantastic home away from home!

Excellent location and host was excellent in communication and response. We will use the place again in future.

For our stay, we also rented the cottage. This was perfect since we had additional married family members. We could all eat, enjoy the deck, the views, etc., but allowed for privacy. The multiple decks at different levels made for fantastic views, but also seemed like more room. We really enjoyed the fire pit at night while we listened to the seals serenading us. We saw all kinds of birds and yes, the elk came out as well. Make sure you bring your camera, the opportunities are boundless. We also hiked at Dosewallips State Park, which was within walking distance from the property. Beautiful stay, highly recommend it.

This is a wonderful house for enjoying Hood Canal. The views plus seeing so much wildlife makes it a special spot. We enjoyed the deck most of all, it’s very large and has a great eating area and barbecue. It also has nice chairs to lounge in and a lovely sitting area around the fire pit, we enjoyed this in the evening. We also were so thankful for all the umbrellas on the deck, it was very sunny and warm and it was nice to have that shade. There were 5 of us staying so we also rented the extra studio apartment, it was so nice having a separate space to retreat. We were not troubled by the traffic noise from 101 at the main house or studio, not an issue. Communication with the owner was easy and responded to quickly. The whole family enjoyed our stay here very much.

Amazing wildlife and views from the deck. The house and studio combination was great for my family of four plus an additional couple. Beware that there are not many curtains on the windows and the upstairs bedroom in the main house is in an open loft so if you like to sleep in, bring an eye mask and earplugs!

Lovely property. The yard/deck were amazing, had a great time kayaking around. So much wildlife in the water!

Beautiful views of the water and wild life from the large and comfortable deck. Great space for our getaway. Good stock of games and cooking essentials. Walking distance to a local restaurant. Nearby waterfall and mountain hikes. Overall we were happy with our stay.

As everyone mentioned the view was incredible. The water was clear and calm for kayaking except the curious seals that kept us entertained! House was well stocked but would like to see a good set of knives.. :} Tom, I helped myself to a couple of fresh apples. Thanks for the great stay!

My 2 business partners and I had a wonderful time at our annual work retreat. Such a beautiful spot!

We had a wonderful stay. The view from the deck is amazing and watching the sunrise was phenomenal. The host provided binoculars and we got plenty of use out of them watching the seals go in and out after laying on the beach, watching the otters playing in the water, watching all the people go out to pick oysters and clams when the tide went out, and finally our last day we saw the local elk herd make their way out to the tidelands to enjoy the seaweed grass. There is a wonderful flower garden which is buzzing with honey bees and all sorts of birds. The humming birds came several times a day to feed on the flowers which was fun to watch. This place is well situated with many activities nearby. I highly recommend driving up to Mt Walker if the weather is clear. It has amazing views. Also recommend driving over to Sequim to check out the lavender farms. The hosts checked in with us several times to make sure everything was going well and were responsive with any issues we had. We are hoping to plan a future stay.

We spend 3 nights here and had an amazing time. We hung out on the decks, hiked, and kayaked. We saw elk and seals and eagles. Truly a wonderful experience.

We had a great time. Kayaks were so much fun to have. Well stocked kitchen. We used the mother in law cottage for teens. They loved having their own space. Communication with Tom, the owner, was easy and he responded quickly. We’ll definitely be back

We had a wonderful time! The views were gorgeous! The house was very clean, had everything we could need for our stay. We loved the all the windows giving the best water view you could ask for. The big deck was great for relaxing with a glass of wine. The grounds are landscaped with beautiful blooming flowers. If you can, try a visit to the local nursery for some shopping as recommended by the owners. The owners were very helpful and communication was great with them. We saw the otters, elk and a local raccoon. The kayaks that were there for our use were an added bonus. We are looking forward staying again. Joan and Rocky

Wonderful spot for our family reunion. Stunning outlook with bald eagles, common mergansers, terns, gulls, harbor seals, sunrise, moonrise - exquisite!! Enjoyed evenings on the lovely large deck with fire pit. Well equipped kitchen. Walking distance to the Geoduck Restaurant. Right off 101 but road noise not oppressive.

Wonderful stay! The views were incredible - the living room/dining area, sunroom and master bedroom are east facing huge windows so we could enjoy the views all day! Lovely long table in dining area- can complete puzzles. Great open floor plan. Very comfy beds! We loved sitting around the fire pit at night and relaxing. The owner, Tom, was very approachable - We couldn’t figure out how to get the fire pit working our first night abd he walked us through it- success! Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic time at Tom and Mary's place. We had four adults and one teenager in our group and we all felt very comfortable. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, pots, pans and appliances. Huge dining table was perfect for games. Wood burning fireplace kept us cozy as we sat and looked out at the gorgeous view. The beds and linens were wonderful. Tom was responsive and helpful and we were so happy to get a good day of weather for kayaking right off the landing of their deck. We would very much like to come back and enjoy the deck more in the spring or summer.
