Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Hood Canal

Insanely beautiful property!! The attention to detail in the home decor is impeccable and the private outdoor space makes it totally worth the cost. The river access is just stunning — I enjoyed my coffee in a hammock beside the water and saw deer come out to drink, it was unreal! It’s wild that you’re in a neighborhood near other homes but you feel completely isolated. The nearby highway noise didn’t bother us at all. We had one small issue with the heat register making a bothersome noise but the owner was quick to help and we overall had a really lovely stay. Highly recommend!

Great experience, felt totally at home with an addition of amazing views. Would love to come back again :) Chad is an amazing host and super responsive. A special word of mention for the kitchen and cutlery stocked, especially for large group staying at the place.

Very convenient spot for exploring the eastern side of Olympic. Loved the porch with the lake views! An obviously loved family vacation home vs. an often seen sterile no-personality Airbnb. One note is the beds on the 2nd floor are up a tricky set of stairs (listing has a picture), so something to watch out for anyone with mobility issues.

One of the best Airbnb experiences I've had. The property was cozy, thoughtfully appointed, peaceful, and beautiful. This was the perfect getaway for an evening of solitude and relaxation.

Our stay at the Ostrich nest was great! Right on the water, with plenty of amenities and a fantastic outdoor space to take advantage of. We kayaked around the island in about 95 leisurely minutes using the provided kayaks and paddles. A/C was available but not needed - yet good to know it was there. The kitchen had everything you'd expect from a short term rental as well. All in all, it was a good weekend.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. Your place is elegant, comfortable, and so well thought out. We relaxed. Watched the herons, plunged in the sea at Fay Bainbridge, and took advantage of everything Bainbridge has to offer. I hope to come back! Have a great summer.

The views from the house are amazing. Looking out over the hood canal with the snow capped mountains of the Olympic National Park in the background, especially as you get the sun set behind them in the evening is the best view I’ve ever had from a place I’ve stayed. Such a great setup there with the decking right up to the water so you can really take advantage of the views. We had plans to go out for dinner more when we were there but just came back and BBQ’d every evening because we wanted to spend as much time as we could there. And we got the most incredible displays of seals and eagles fishing right outside in that early morning/late evening sun. About 50 seals and 10 eagles, so close you didn’t need the binoculars. Couldn’t recommend the place highly enough.

Wow! What a view! And the host was so kind! He took the time to answer several questions and even called us! Saw eagles, seals! The changing views because of the tide are so interesting! Parking isn’t the easiest, but very doable. The local restaurant was delicious at breakfast! About an hour and a half from Hurricane Ridge mountain range, but the scenery to and from is stunning!

Wish we were staying longer! Great value compared to local area. Rebecca and her family were very welcoming and we couldn’t have wished for anymore. Stunning property, very spacious, perfect location. 5* would recommend to all. Thanks for a lovely stay. Daniel

We loved this space so much that we extended our stay 2 days. It was absolute respite for us to wake up to the quiet sounds of the farm with views of the animals and mountains showing off as we had our coffee from the porch. I feel lucky to have found this airbnb! Paulette was so kind, welcoming, and helpful. You can tell they really care for the place they have built together, and it's great. The best part is the welcome wagon, their two sweet labs!

We had a fantastic stay! The home had everything we needed: a full kitchen, clean bathroom, two comfy bedrooms, two cozy sitting rooms, and a washer/dryer—which was a huge help with our baby. It was fully stocked with fresh linens, towels, and blankets. The outdoor patio with a fire pit and stunning water views was a perfect place to relax. Jill and Gregg were wonderful hosts—warm, responsive, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Jill even greeted us with homemade brownies and a bottle of wine! The house is family-friendly and included a pack and play, which made traveling with our 4-month-old so much easier. If you’re visiting the Fox Island or Gig Harbor area, don’t hesitate—this place is a gem. We would absolutely stay here again!

This stay was excellent! We loved the interior decor and amenities - a very cozy place to come home to after rainy Seattle days. The hosts added nice touches like snacks, coffee, and sleeping earplugs. The neighborhood is walkable and on the same corner as the D Line to downtown, which made it very easy to explore the city with public transit. (In fact, during a week's stay, we didn't take an Uber a single time.) Awesome place, and I would stay again!

LOCATION, LOCATION Karthik's place was close to all of the things we planned for our 2 night stay in Seattle. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to see. We were starting a cruise from Seattle and we only needed to walk 2 blocks, downhill, to our cruise terminal. The condo comfortably accommodates 2 people. We would stay again!

Julie's place was absolutely perfect! It had every amenity you could need, was super cute, wonderful neighborhood with a great park. Julie was also great with communication. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. The one thing i would note is that if you're like me and have sensory issues the noise from the tv upstairs might bother you. (I did not say anything about this to Julie because i know it's a me issue) if i ever come back that way which hopefully i will i would love to stay again. Everything was wonderful and you created the perfect home away from home. Every night we actually felt like we were going "home" thanks again for your hospitality!!

This house is incredible. The location is perfect, walking distance to many food and drink spots. There is an amazing coffee shop right on the corner. Sauna and soaking tub are relaxing. The house is clean and organized and has clear instructions. Hosts are helpful and knowledgable. Highly recommend!

The Tended Thicket was Great. Excellentstay, the place was exactly as described and Doris was a great host. Kitchen was stocked with cold drinks, coffee, tea and snacks. Bathroom had any item you might have forgotten. Went one of the local recommended restaurants and it was excellent. Such a thoughtful host. Will definitely stay here again!

This is the second time we have stayed here. We have been vacationing as a large family for over 20 years. And this place checks all the boxes for us! Quiet rooms, private bathrooms, good bedding, multiple gathering areas, a large outdoor space with firepit. We all were able to relax and unwind. We plan to return!

This is my 2nd time staying here. Had a great time and can't wait to come back again!

This is a beautiful property in a residential neighborhood. It is decieving, because when you arrive at the property, you will be surrounded by trees, however the home is light and bright. Privacy is my biggest concern, so when I was driving into the neighborhood, I was uncertain about what privacy would look like. When you arrive inside, you feel like you have been teleported into a home in a beautiful forested area in the middle of a rural landscape; a getaway that will not disappoint. All amenities are provided, amd the host is friendly, professional, and available. Various ethnic restaurants are a short drive, as are Target, Safeway, and almost anything else you need!

Absolutely beautiful space that has been wonderfully preserved for history

The grounds were spectacular. The kids spent most of their time outside playing in the expansive property

This property was perfect for our group stay. The hosts were exceptionally responsive and helpful throughout our visit. The home comfortably accommodated everyone, and the outdoor area—with its spacious patio and beautiful view—was a highlight. The kids especially enjoyed the basketball court and various games available. Overall, a great experience—we would gladly return.

Stay in 5 star luxury accommodations while enjoying the most iconic view in Seattle! Ken’s lux townhome is the perfect base for discovering Seattle. Within minutes you’re enjoying DT Seattle, Pike Place market, the Seattle Space needle, or any of the DT sports venues. Several outstanding markets, including Whole Foods and Metropolitan Market, as well as fish right off the boat at near by Salmon Bay are close if you decide to cook in the chef’s kitchen with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. Ken is an outstanding host offering local insights to the Seattle culture. Joe was extremely helpful and communicative with the check in and check out process.

This is our 2nd time staying at Dewen's place and we enjoyed it just as much as we did the first time. If we had known we'd need an Airbnb for as long as we do, we would have planned to stay here the entire time. It is easily walkable to Starbucks, Fred Myers and several restaurants (5 minutes). A slightly longer walk will take you to Gilman Village where there are restaurants, shops and Issaquah Coffee Company. The location is private, peaceful (there is noise from the freeway and larger roads nearby, but it was not at all a problem for us) and beautiful. We often saw deer in the yard and saw tons of different kinds of birds. I enjoyed just sitting on the deck relaxing in the beautiful surroundings and our dogs loved running around sniffing at the mole hills. The living/dining areas are very spacious, as is the master bedroom. There is an additional bedroom and a loft if you have a larger party. I would gladly stay here any time we need an Airbnb in the area.
