About this property
Hood Canal 2 B/R Waterfront Cabin. Sleeps 4.
Welcome to Shep's Castle, your perfect vacation cabin on Hood Canal! PLEASE NOTE: Even though I have 2 and 3 night minimum stays, if you see an open night on the calendar between bookings, please contact me for a reservation. Enjoy the sunset while relaxing on the deck of this RUSTIC and charming, 1930's cabin. Only part of the cabin has been updated so it retains much of its old rustic and funky charm. What a perfect ending to a day of swimming, diving, fishing or just hanging around on a lovely, private cove populated by a few lovely cabins. This two bedroom cabin is perfect for a small family or just a couple wanting to enjoy the solitude of our lovely home. The master has a queen bed and beautiful maple floors and a gorgeous cedar cathedral ceiling. The 2nd bedroom has a double bed and there is a foldout futon in the living room. It is an open floor plan, perfect for a romantic getaway or small family. My cabin is just 60 steps from the water, over a nice grassy lawn and over a rockery that is owned by the county. One night & Two night rates are available, please inquire :) Dogs under 25# are allowed, there is a $195 pet fee Please note: due to the size of the accomodations, Shep's Castle may not accommodate all sizes of guests. It is not tiny by any means, but a cozy little cabin. It has been brought to my attention that the approx 3' by 3' shower is too small for some of the larger guests who have stayed. Also, Shep's Castle is located on the edge of the Olympic Rainforest and on the water. There is wildlife and there are bugs. ALSO I have owned Shep's Castle for over 25 years. there is an incredibly stubborn plant that grows from underneath the kitchen cabinets. I have even removed the cabinets to try to get rid of these plant more than once. I have pulled, poisoned and swore at this plant. He is now named Georg also he's a permanent resident for better or worse. We are located just minutes away from Hoodsport, just one cove North of the famous dive spot, Octopus Hole. And just a short drive from Mason Lake and the Olympic National Park. PLEASE NOTE: There are outdoor cameras and a Ring Doorbell which are monitored 24/7 for security reasons.

About the host
Hosted by Cynthia Reid
I love to hike, fish, swim and play near the water. Having grown up in a small town, living in the city can be quite a challenge for me. Spending time at the cabin is a great way for me to relax and unwind with my daughter and my two little pups.
Why they chose this property
We purchased our vacation home in 1999 and have loved every minute we have spent there. It is one of the rare canal homes that is located off the main highway so it is quiet and peaceful. Now that our daughter is a teenager, we are finding it hard to spend as much time as we'd like there. So we are taking this opportunity to share the beauty and charm of our little cabin with others.
What makes this property unique
Shep's Castle is a rare find on the canal. Located off Highway 101, it's a peaceful and quiet setting to relax, unwind, walk the dogs or play like crazy while crabbing, shrimping, fishing, swimming, etc. This place has it ALL!!
