Come to the water... a delightful getaway at Gladwin Beach. Just the place to make memories with family and friends;laugh and love;connect with and enjoy each other.
Gladwin Beach House is located on the North Shore of Hood Canal; the sunny side of the Canal. You may see flocks of ducks and water birds, a heron fishing for dinner, or still blue waters under blue skies.
Come experience this charming log cabin. Gladwin House was originally an oyster farm, built over 100 years ago. It has since been upgraded and updated with modern conveniences like indoor plumbing. The living room is cozy and comfortable, with a river rock fireplace, french doors and a beautiful view of Hood Canal. With four cheerful bedrooms, a daybed by the fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen, you will feel right at home.
Gladwin Beach House is at the end of the Hood Canal. In the summer, the waters are warm enough to swim and play in when the tide comes in over the tide flats. The warm water is a rarity in Puget Sound. Put the kayak in the water and explore the Theler Wetlands and Union River Estuary. Take a nature hike, or mountain bike nearby trails. Relish and enjoy the quiet and peaceful picturesque water views here. At night,sit by the fire pit; sing songs, tell jokes and roast marshmallows.
In the winter, relax in the hot tub and watch the water birds flock. Maybe drink hot chocolate, enjoy a good book by the cozy river rock fireplace, watch your favorite movie or play board games.
We invite you to come and enjoy the serenity at Gladwin Beach House.

- Waterfront, not Lake/Oceanfront. Ask for details: Gladwin House is on the North Shore of Hood Canal. It is no-bank waterfront - just step over the low retaining wall and you are on the beach. This is typical Puget Sound beach: small rocks and sand, areas of lush beach grass and other sea plants, and extensive tide flats at low tide. On a sunny day the tide flats warm up, and when the tide comes in the water is remarkably warm - great for swimming!

We had a grand time with lots of big family brunches. Kate (6 3/4) and Tobin (2+) had a great time pounding around in the yard and the games. The hardware store is a great resource for outdoor inflatable toys. It is a charming place with plenty of bedrooms. I have never slept so well at a vacation. We anticipate a visit again soon. So tranquil & spacious but also convenient - with dishwasher & great light kitchen & magical water views. Thanks for having us & for your conscientious hospitality.

We had a great time at Gladwin House! What a perfect set-up for kids. The weather wasn't great, but the kids got some water time in the hot tub! We are looking forward to a return trip next year!

Our stay here at the Gladwin House really helped to make our visit to the Pacific Northwest a special time for us. We enjoyed Quinault and the ocean front and had a great time visiting with family. Now it's back home to the other extreme in the the Chihuahuan Desert of the Big Bend on the Rio Grande. Thanks for the hospitality.

Thank you _so_ much for making our "old" family home into a vacation retreat!! :) We lived here 40 years ago with wonderful childhood memories!! It was so much fun to sleep in my old room. We had such a wonderful time going down memory lane. Our former neighbors walked over to visit and share with us. Thank you!! Cathy I agree with the above message. I too grew up in this amazing beach house. We had a great two days and plan to return next summer. Everything is well-organized and prepared. Thanks for the chance to remember our childhoods. Don.
