A vacation house big enough for the whole family--or two families!
Location: Quilcene, Hood Canal, Puget Sound, Washington State, USA (2-3 Hrs from Seattle-Tacoma Area, Near North End Hood Canal)
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 8-12)
Our Chalet style vacation home sits on three acres bounded by the Little Quilcene River along one edge. Enjoy the quiet woodland surroundings with deer walking through the yard almost every day, and birds galore. Our road leads directly into Olympic National Park, with many hiking trails. Hood Canal, just to the south, offers water sports and fresh seafood.
The house is equipped for your comfort, with electric heat--though you are welcome to use the wood stove in the lower level--and lots of games, puzzles, and movies. This is the place for a true getaway--no TV reception or cable, just the videos or DVDs you choose to watch. Leave behind the internet and the traffic ratrace, and just relax with the family, have a barbecue, make some memories.
The Lower Level of the house has a family room (with wood stove), bedroom (dbl bed), TV/game room, and full bath with laundry. The Main Level has kitchen/dining/living area, foyer, bedroom (dbl bed), and large 3/4 bathroom. The upper level has two bedrooms, each with two twin beds.
We accept credit cards as well as payment via PayPal.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
We left Alaska in 1988, and often wished for a cabin like we had there. Our house on the Little Quil River has been the perfect family getaway, and a great gathering place for holiday weekends.
Why the Owner Chose Quilcene
We wanted a vacation house close enough for us to reach it easily for one-night stays, and large enough for some extended family gatherings. The woodland setting reminded us of Alaska, where I grew up, and there is plenty of room outside to enjoy nature.
The Unique Benefits of this House
We love to see the deer walking through the yard almost every time we visit. We've used the 'cabin', as we call it, for parties, holiday gatherings, quiet retreat times, and just for weekend getaways. The peace and quiet is wonderful!
