Beautiful Dog-Friendly Secluded Home W/ Private Hot Tub, Gas Grill & More

Stayed 3 nights. Very comfortable size. Positioned between the peninsula and Seattle area. Very clean when we arrived. Be careful-Google Maps was off by about 500 feet for the turnoff. Could use more space for clothes. Nice kitchen and bathrooms. Quiet area off the main road.

This was a nice cottage in the trees. The beds were comfortable and we had a good time exploring nearby places like the Hama Hama Oyster Saloon. The house has no wi-fi and cell service is spotty. Make sure to download maps or directions before you get there. The road to the house is windy and steep, it was a little confusing since some turnoffs were not indicated on Google maps. Bring a game or a book since there's not much to do without wifi. The value was Ok but I would probably not pay more for this place.

The place was clean and welcoming after having traveled all day. The roomy fenced yard/field area where dogs can roam was very overgrown. We didn't have pets with us, but I would wonder about ticks if I'd brought my dog or one getting lost in the weeds if it was a small breed. Would have been nice to have some beach towels to use instead of just the small white shower towels. Biggest issue is the upstairs bathroom. Other reviews complain of a clogged shower drain. The drain worked fine, however the shower design/construction is such that all the water comes out the bottom of the shower door onto the bathroom floor. It's obviously happened over a period of time as the wood floor has swelled so much that you can't shut the bathroom door. It was unusable to shower in, and there were 5 of us left to use one shower. Also, the TV is only really there to play DVD's (of which there were only sequels haha), but at least the downstairs one was not hooked up to anything, nor were there the proper cables to connect it all up. 2 minute walk to a beach is a little misleading...the property is up very high..it's gorgeous..but it gains elevation quickly so walking back would be a trek in an of itself. It's also not a beach right across the road you have to go north

This property was fine, if not underwhelming. We had several issues with Vacasa, the property management company. 1. We were provided with 1 roll of paper towels, 4 rolls of toilet paper, and a handful of dishwashing/laundry tablets for an 8-night stay. When we ran out and contacted Vacasa, they told us that for extended stays guests should bring their own extra toilet paper and supplies! That is absurd. 2. Prior reviews noted the upstairs shower didn't drain but Vacasa responded it had been fixed. It wasn't and the shower still backs up. 3. The smoke detector in the master bedroom has been removed. 4. Responses to prior reviews also said the security camera pointed at the hot tub was disabled and removed. It is still there and working. 5. The grill is in poor/unsafe conditions. The knobs don't regulate the flow of propane so you have to turn the grill on and off at the tank. 6. Vacasa will nickle and dime you. They offered us a late check out since the property was not booked the next day but only if they paid extra. 7. There is a rooster next door that will wake you up at 5:30 am. While not the property's fault, it would have been nice to know this before booking. Extremely disappointed in Vacasa's business practices and will be avoiding their properties in the future.

Loved the location remote and easy to unwind. The inside of the house was beautiful and clean. Thank you for providing such a stunning environment.

Beautiful small home near Hood canal that is relaxing and very comfortable.

The house is nice, has everything you need more or less. Would have enjoyed the hot tub more if it was maintained better (weird smell, maybe not enough chlorine or something). Did not particularly love the security cameras directly pointing at it, felt a little weird. The upstairs shower is super clogged and we couldnt really use it. I'd probably choose a different place if I was to go again (it was picked mostly for the hot tub) but it was a good location to spend time at the canal and lake. It was clean and had lots of toiletries and towels and awesome that it was dog friendly.

We wanted a budget friendly get away with a hot tub and this place was great. Clean and well stocked, only complaint was that there was dog hair in the beds. Other than that, we were very happy with the place. Google maps didn't take us directly to the house so once you turn onto the drive, make sure you pay attention to the directions they give.

We enjoyed this hike very much. Thank you for our restful visit, we would book again!

Cute house, but not very nice surrounding area. When we arrived the house was 47 degrees and it took almost 12 hours to get the heat up to where it was comfortable. When they say it’s ready, that should mean it’s not an icebox when you arrive. The sheets had hair on them and did not look washed. The upstairs shower plugged up because the drain under the drain cover was plugged with hair and sludge. If the location was better, and it was cleaner, it would have been good.

Super cute little home! Everything was pretty great, we were just a little disappointed with the hot tub and no Wi-Fi. The hot tub was a little dirty and the chemicals were a little much. We were only able to sit in there for a little bit because they burned our eyes and made us cough when we turned on the jets.

Beautiful, remote location. The home is very comfortable. Close to many nice areas. Perfect for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day grind. To rest, rejuvinate and connect with nature. Pet friendly as well with a nice large dog area.

Given my multiple complaints about the cleanliness of this property and misrepresentation of the property, I have been offered half the money back for the cleaning fee. I requested the full cleaning fee plus the fee for the hot tub as is wasn’t working and they were waiting for a part and never let us know until I asked about it. No “beach access”. Dirty all over. Obvious cobwebs, crusty debris in the burners on the stove, thick dust on light fixtures and tv equipment, obvious sticky substance in the freezer, stained carpet and furniture and sheets, questionable whether sheets were actually washed or just restetched and beds made. The clean towels were found in the dryer. Don’t worry - I folded those and put them away. Weeds everywhere and overgrown rose bushes in the walkways. So disappointed. Still not even the half of the cleaning fee has been reimbursed.

The towels had hair all over them. The hot tub wasn’t that hot. The downstairs shower didn’t work right. The upstairs shower kept flooding. Could only watch DVDs. The neighbors were loud till 3am messing around and doing stuff all night long. Overall stay will not be back.

peaceful and relaxing

Hot tub was ready and waiting for us. Tons of space and nice quiet area. Was perfect.

The place is great! Bring ear plugs for the rooster next door, but get ready for some relaxing. The lack of wifi makes finding things a little tricky. Supposedly there’s great cell service, but not with t mobile and just okay with AT&T.

The location it self and everything about it was amazing however my only 2 complaints would be that the hottub would not stay at a hot tempature which was irritating and that the trash can by the road was full before we even got there making it a hassle to conserve how much trash we had in order to not over fill the trashcan and allow animals nearby to get into it, other then that the location was great just don't use Google maps for the last part of it or it will send you down the wrong way.

Very nice house, clean and well maintained. Kitchen was well stocked (spices too!) and the hot tub was ready when we arrived. The bed in the master bedroom was quite perfect. Verizon 5G worked fine so wifi not needed. Overall a terrific value. Would definitely stay again.

Cute and easy house with everything needed. Fully stocked kitchen and hot tub is great

This was a great property. It could have been a bit cleaner but nothing crazy. It was pretty stormy while we were there and lost power twice so be prepared. It was super cozy though and secluded. I would love to stay in the summer and enjoy the canal. I would recommend this property for sure.

We rented the house to spend relaxing time with friends, hiking, cooking and hot tubing. We chose the house for that reason. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking that was a big plus. The hot tub was disgusting and we told the housekeeper before she left. As a spa owner myself I know how to care for a hot tub. My husband looked at the filter and it hasn’t been changed in a long time. I would recommend better spa maintenance to take care of your spa. And if you advertise a spa make sure it is maintained properly. The house was nice over all and we enjoyed our time with friends.

This house was fine. There must be some issue with housekeeping. The house was clean enough, but they pushed back our check in time by two hours an hour before we were supposed to check in. The hot tub was unusable. The water was green and scummy, and not even turned on. The website lists the house has having three king beds, but there is only one king bed and two queen beds—but that wasn’t a big deal for us. Our kids loved the basketball hoop and play set. All in all, a fairly typical experience with renting from a Vacasa managed property.

House was very clean when we arrived! Hot tub was crystal clear and running for our arrival. Kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, pans, spices, etc. Loved the fenced in dog yard for our pups. Hoodsport was about 15 minutes away we enjoyed wine tasting and shops. I slept in the upstairs bed and it was very comfortable! Our family said the downstairs beds were comfy as well. Thanks for the great stay!

This home provided the perfect getaway for our family to attend a nearby family wedding. The house was incredibly clean, comfortable and updated. The listing says there are 3 king beds, but the downstairs beds are both queens. There is a sofa sleeper in the upstairs loft. We loved the hot tub and the landscaping was well maintained. The only downside of the home was not having wifi which we thought was odd since something must be powering the homes security system. We wish we were able to stay longer here!

We had a great stay at this beautiful cabin property. Do not follow Google maps for directions and it is really closer to Eldon than Lilliwaup. Otherwise it is fantastic, clean and well stocked. Make sure you read the description that there is no Wifi and cell coverage was spotty. Great place to get off the grid!

Great house in a fairly secluded location. The only down side would be the rooster that crowed in the mornings and through-out the day.

A few friends, kids, and dogs had a great time staying here. It was a perfect size for 3 adults and 2 kids. A notebook of instructions about the place as well as recommendations of places to go / things to do would have been nice, esp since there was no WiFi there. A warning that not all cell providers have service there would also have been nice (Verizon worked fine but T-Mobile didn’t).

Our stay was great. The house was extremely well stocked with everything you would need and it was great quality to. Our daughter loved the playground and hot tub. The fenced area was great for our small dog. We will for sure be booking this rental again.

House was great, very clean. We didn’t use the hot tub because the water was yellow, they said it was fine Because it was well water. That’s probably true but we still didn’t use it. They refunded the hot tub fee. The listing says 3 king beds it only has 1. That was pretty disappointing as we brought another couple with us. Other than that we had a great stay.

We got incredibly lost using Google Maps. After heading up narrow dirt roads and maneuvering multiple hairpin turns in our minivan, we realized we were in the wrong place. My husband's phone had no signal, but fortunately, my phone had one bar. We then tried Apple Maps, which took us to the right road, wrong house. After about 45 minutes of searching, we lucked upon the rental. (We tried following the written directions, but the main road sign was missing.) We were so happy to finally arrive! It was freezing, and after a long drive, the kids had to potty BADLY. Unfortunately, we couldn't get into the house. The Vacasa instructions referred to a "lockbox." We spent 15 minutes in the cold and dark looking for it. Eventually, we figured out that we just needed to put the code into the door lock. But, it didn't work. We read the help guide, and we still couldn't get it to open. Finally, I called the help number. The Customer Support Person was super nice. She told us that there was a lockbox. We spent another 10-15 minutes looking for it to no avail. She then disconnected to contact a local person who could hopefully help. She called back telling us to try pushing the lock logo first, enter the code, then press the logo button again. That worked. Finally, we were in. That experience set the tone for the rest of the trip. There were no instructions or labels anywhere. I've rented quite a few homes through VRBO/Vacasa, and this seems unusual. A few lights were burnt out. The heater in one of the bedrooms wouldn't turn off, so a previous guest had just unplugged it. The grill had gas, but it wasn't connected properly. The kids were upset because the upstairs DVD player would randomly shut off. The jacuzzi water was green. It was so gross that I just avoided it altogether. The dog area is great, but our pup was able to escape. There's not a good way to watch the dog area from the house so if the dog was outside, so were we. Although the place seems private, we could hear the neighbors playing music, practicing electric guitar, and talking on the phone. One neighbor stopped by to tell us she would be parking her car across the way. There are cameras EVERYWHERE, and honestly, it was a little off-putting. I felt like maybe we were in a bad neighborhood. For what we paid it was just okay. The house itself was very nice, but it's the little things that make a stay enjoyable.

Our family of four+2 small dogs absolutely loved this house during our 7-night stay! It was by far the cleanest we've ever stayed at, essentially spotless. The kitchen, while small, has very nice modern appliances and all the pots/pans/utensils/spices you need to cook with. The bedrooms are clean with super comfy mattresses, pillows, and blankets, plus extras in the dressers. The loft is awesome and is a great place to spend some family time. There are two large tv's, plus two soundbars and two dvd players. We didn't even turn the tv's on, and only the upstairs soundbar has bluetooth so we used that to stream music throughout the house since its in the loft which is open to most of the living space. There is no cable or internet/wifi, however we were able to get spotty data coverage on our Xfinity (Verizon) phones, enough to stream some videos, but we had excellent call coverage so phone calls weren't a problem. This house does not provide any board games or activities like some rentals we've stayed at, so plan on bringing those with you. The hot-tub is always something we look for and this house has a good one, although the jets weren't very strong. We had an issue with the chemicals getting out of balance but the very nice maintenance lady came out and adjusted them so we could continue to use it. The property is nice with a large completely fenced yard (think dog-park) that would be great for big dogs. The parking lot is large like the description says, but it's slightly steep towards the back-half so it made it difficult for my 3 and 6 year old daughters to use their razor scooters much. The basketball hoop was nice but again, because of the slope of the driveway, we had to be careful or the ball would bounce all the way into the trees at the end of the driveway. They provide a basketball, but we used our own slightly deflated basketball so it wouldn't bounce away as easily. There's also a very nice playset that our kids enjoyed using, although it was wet and cold most of our visit so they didn't get too many opportunities. There are neighbors on either side of the property but the trees block most of the view between properties. Even though this house feels like it's in the wilderness, almost all the land around it is private property so you can't go exploring much other than walking the single lane road about a 1/2 mile up to where it ends at another private residence. The property itself has enough space to walk around or play hide-and-seek with the kiddos though. The road to get to the house is just a single-lane, steep road up the hill from HWY101. Our minivan made it just fine in the rain, however if it was snowy/icy, I would be very hesitant to try going up the road even in a 4-wheel drive vehicle. GPS won't get you to the house once you get off HWY101, so follow the written directions in the Vacasa email closely or it might be hard to find.
The house is misrepresented slightly in the description at the time of our stay. It says there are 3 king beds but there is only 1 upstairs, with two queen beds in the 2 downstairs bedrooms. There's also a sleeper sofa in the loft that is not mentioned in the description. Also, there are no bath-tubs (the two showers are very nice) so it should be listed as two 3/4 bathrooms, not full bathrooms.
Overall, we had an excellent stay at this house and would highly recommend it for anyone looking to get away from the city.
