About this house rental
Escape to this stunning 4-level custom home, just steps from the sparkling waters of Hood Canal on the sunny Olympic Peninsula. Designed for Hollywood actor Shephard Houghton in 1984, this retreat blends vintage Boho charm with modern comforts. Sip coffee on expansive decks with breathtaking canal views, soak in the 6-person hot tub, or cozy up by the woodstove in winter. Perfect for families, couples, or friends seeking adventure and relaxation.
The Space:
Unforgettable Views: Nearly every room overlooks the serene Hood Canal, with harbor seals basking nearby.
Sleep in Comfort: Sleeps up to 8 with a king bedroom (2nd floor), queen bedroom with en-suite shower (2nd floor), loft with 4 twin beds (3rd floor, spiral staircase), and ground-floor queen bedroom. Note: The loft and game room couch/loveseat (bring your own bedding) have limited privacy.

Bathrooms: En-suite shower (2nd floor queen bedroom), bathtub/shower (hallway), two 1/2 baths (living room, ground floor).
Fun for All: Play pool, darts, ping-pong, or Xbox in the private game room with a Smart TV. Framed posters from Shephard Houghton’s films (“Gone with the Wind,” “Star Trek”) add a touch of Hollywood.
