RARE FIND Historic Waterfront on Hood Canal, Olympic National Park

This quaint Nantucket waterfront charmer was constructed by T.B. Balch in 1920, one of the original founders of Brinnon. It is rumored to be the closest to the water in all of Jefferson County. Great care has been taken to provide historically romantic ambiance. Stay at the only nationally registered, historic waterfront vacation rental in close proximity to Seattle and Tacoma, and one of the rare few in the Pacific Northwest.
A photographer's playground where the Olympics meet the crystal clear expansive waters of Hood Canal in Brinnon, WA near Pleasant Harbor Marina. Fronting over a 1,000 ft of wildlife and shell rich beach and many wonders behind in the Olympic National Park.

Intriguing wildlife observation and continually evolving views that will materialize before you. AWE inspiring and sweeping Hood Canal with breathtaking skyline color changes at sunset and sunrise that include Mt. Rainier. Resident harbor seals and their pups are always fun to watch along with the otter family that lives at the base of your beach stairs. Great fun to spot beaver and local Roosevelt Elk herd that drop by the beach and yard. Numerous bald eagles that fly right outside your window, and can be quite a thrill when flying just feet away.

Located on the Pacific Northwest Whale Trail along with numerous fascinating bird varieties from 4 ft tall herons, osprey, kingfisher, numerous hummingbirds, and everything in between. A true birding paradise with some gorgeous varieties, and birding books on site.

4 kayaks are provided (with life preservers) takes you even closer to immersing with resident wildlife, or stroll the shell rich beach enjoyed by all ages. Venture onto acres of tidelands teeming with fascinating marine life at low tide.
Hiking, mountain biking, and spectacular views can be enjoyed in the world renowned OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK nearby. In close proximity, you will find: Olympic National Park, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Baker, the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges and most of all Puget Sound.
Enjoyable Dosewallips State Park, with historic logging train trails is a close 3 minute walk.

A romantic and intimate favorite with singles, couples, honeymooners and small groups. 4 private sleeping areas, with 2 en-suite bathrooms, and a third bathroom is in close proximity to the main floor bedroom. One level living area on the main floor provides ease of movement for those with limited mobility. Please be advised that there are lots of stairs. Stairs go up to the master from the main level and again down to the lower level. There are also stairs from the deck to the water.

Wine tasting, casinos, exceptional Olympic Mountain ice cream, and sampling at unique distilleries are also available. Visit quaint, historic seaports, with gorgeous Victorians. Hurricane Ridge, Whale charters (in season), or ferry over to B.C. For out-of-state guests, this centralized location allows for the touring of the very best of Western Washington. Pure relaxation is always a desirable option. There is something for everyone. The list is virtually endless......

THE LITTLE EXTRAS.....Cleaning takes place the day of your arrival for a home that is warm, inviting and low allergen. Wood starter package for a crackling fire and kitchen, dining and bath products provided. High powered ZOOM binoculars that bring wildlife and Trident sub activity up close and personal is always a treat. Rubber boots and fishing poles are just a few of the extras. So many amenities from beautiful stemware, numerous spices, to built in magnifying mirrors in all bathrooms, and romantic atmosphere by candlelight. The large bonfire ring with built in split log seating near the moonlit waters edge are memories waiting to be made. Don't miss the plump, sweet blackberries on site mid to late summer.

Best Bar in America is a close three minute walk at the Geoduck Restaurant, with waterfront deck seating. Additionally, the Half Way House Restaurant/Bakery offers legendary pies/desserts, and home style cooking. Fabulous pizza, sandwiches and salads, with indoor/outdoor waterfront seating is now available at Pleasant Harbor Marina less than 2 minutes away.

Although the home sleeps 8, the nightly rate is based on 4 guests. Additional guests are charged $39.00/night. This is due to additional wear on the 100+ year old home.
PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED.

Step back to a simpler time and experience a unique combination showcasing history, wildlife, Olympic National Park, Hood Canal, and the best of the Pacific NW in nature's paradise.

A groovy place to stay

The house is unique in all the right ways. Fun staircases, awesome views from everywhere, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for all eight of us and the beds were very comfortable. The way the tide comes in all the way to the stairs made for easy access to the floating and then it went way out for fun beach combing as well. The binoculars were a nice touch so we could zero in on all the seals and the eagles, too!

It's like 2 different water stays

We had a great time during our stay. The tide changed so much between high and low tides, that it was like 2 totally different water views. The kitchen and house as a whole was very well stocked. The stairs in the house are rather narrow, and the wood floors creak, but both things are to be expected with a historical home. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

Awesome!! Beautiful and abundant wildlife and birds!!

Peaceful, relaxing and beautiful. The home has been lovingly restored and perfectly decorated! I think the kitchen has more supplies, dishes, glasses, cookware, etc than my own home!! Yes it is a 104 year old home and has some creaks but that is part of the charm!! And the historic original pieces like windows, door knobs and handles etc are charming! Suzanne is incredibly responsive!

The property manager was quick to reply to questions, house was as-advertised, kitchen had cookware/spices/accessories, with cleaning supplies and laundry detergent. The view was amazing with entertainment from the seals and otters. Would definitely stay here again. Check out nearby Hamma Hamma Oysters and the Geoduck Lounge!

Bald Eagles & River Otters!

We had a fantastic stay. The house worked perfect for two couples (three couples and a few kids would work great in this house). It was really comfortable and had glorious views of the canal. If you stay here be sure to get up to watch the sun rise and wildlife awaken - just spectacular. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed to cook our meals and easily clean up. Which is important because there aren't many places to eat or get food close. Thank you for the lovely bottle of wine and exceptional property.

Amazing home on the water

Amazing water front heritage home. Plenty of room, well equiped with everything you want. Great place to relax and enjoy nature. Driveway down to house is hard to see and very narrow. Best to add to address, especially if arriving after dark, that driveway is a sharp left before private gate.

Relaxing, historical home with great view!

Our small group had a wonderful time in this charming house. It is one of the best equipped, most comfortable and inviting rental I’ve stayed in. The view from upper deck is mesmerizing with the tide going in and out, the eagle that flew by several times a day and cute harbor seals peaking a look. I highly recommend this rental.

Lovely water setup

The house and experience were as described. It's a historic house and has a creaky floor here and there, but the character and charm more than make up for that. Some of the stairwells are narrow (again, it's a historic house!) but our children (ages 6 and 8) had no trouble navigating it. We loved doing a half-day trip up to Port Townsend too; and Hama Hama Oyster Saloon is an amazing experience very nearby. We would certainly consider staying again.

I was not sure what to expect but this home was incredible. So incredibly comfortable and homey. We watched bald eagles fly past the patio all day long; Seals poking their heads out of the water in the canal. Kayaks were great and we had an amazing time out on the water. This is one of the few places that I can say I would love to return to.
