WELCOME! Come in and relax by the fire with tea/coffee/wine or cozy up next to family for a movie on the flat screen tv. Take a walk out onto the wrap-around balcony and take in the views of Pickering Passage & watch the Orcas come by too! It is easy to watch the kids play down just below in the garden under the arched trellis or gather the entire family and enjoy a BBQ on the ground floor.

You could also go down to shore and enjoy the marine life right at your fingertips or look up to see herons, gulls, murrelets, and of course, eagles gliding by. If you're a nature enthusiast, you might want to kayak out onto the Hood Canal or take the kids beach combing for hours.
Whatever you do decide to do, you'll be happy to know that once you're tired and hungry, a beautiful craftsman kitchen awaits with comfortable well thought out seating for everyone to enjoy a gourmet meal.
As the sun sets, don't forget to grab some s'mores by the fire just below the deck. And perhaps if a brisk evening breeze comes by, the family can come inside for movie night next to the kids' fort in the recreation room on the ground floor.
After a full day of fun, retire yourself to either the master bedroom, kids' room, guest room, or loft where your body will sink into comfortable beds ready for restful sleep.
