The host was very responsive and provided all the information we needed during our stay. The house was also perfect for our group. We had 10 people and everyone had plenty of space and something to do while there. We loved the outdoor areas and enjoyed getting to see the seals every day.

We had a delightful stay at Quilcene Hideaway -- so many opportunities to enjoy a stunning location, kayaking on the bay, chatting with the seals, watching bald eagles and relaxing in the many outdoor spaces. Martha is a wonderful host and the house is well equipped for a large group such as ours. Would definitely book again!

This place is very remote - there's no full sized grocery store anywhere near, there aren't bars or restaurants nearby. But if you like seclusion, it's amazing - it's so quiet, except for the seals, who will keep you entertained. Kayaking on the bay is beautiful. The house is loaded with games and entertainment options. The wifi isn't great, but don't be like me and try to take a meeting from here - it won't work and that's not what this place is for. Great spot to unplug!

An amazing place!

This cabin is an absolutely wonderful way to get off the grid and plugged into the beauty of the Pac NW! Its situated on a beautiful hillside with immediate access to a beach that is covered in marvels to take in. They've thought of everything, from games to beach gear to makings for hot chocolate to binoculars to watch the playful seals in the beach below. Has great access to Port Townsend and Olymipic Nat'l forest and then to the broader Olympic Peninsula!The hosts were incredibly gracious and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this location to anyone!

Perfect family vacation

The Hideaway was a wonderful property in a beautiful location. We only get away as a family once a year and this was perfect. The Host Martha was very accommodating and answered our questions promptly. The home is well supplied and we were delighted with unexpected surprises i.e. games, outdoor fire place and an amazing view of the bay. We LOVED this place!

About the host

Hosted by Martha Vaughan

Host profile image
Martha Vaughan the owner was born and raised in Seattle area. In 1995 Martha moved to Bainbridge Island to a historic home built in 1892. This was an old farm called Blakely Hill Farm.
Martha raised three wonderful children at Blakely Hill farm.
Martha ended up buying the adjoining acreage and Blakely Hill Farm expanded.
Martha always had a love of animals of every kind. Martha's children shared this passion and soon Blakely Hill Farm grew onto an animal rescue. First there were dogs and cats, then goats, llamas, a friendly pig and horses. Lots of horses. These were animals thats last possible chance at life was that Martha would take them. Martha was the last "net" to catch/save them in most cases. Martha took neglected, beaten and just thrown out animals from all sorts of unfortunate situations.
Martha has now has moved the farm to Port Angeles Wa where she continues to take mostly horses in with her daughter. Martha says rescue animals are a slippery slope but one of the most rewarding slippery slopes.
Martha now owns and runs multiple vacation homes and a wedding venue. Martha loves the outdoors. She loves walking the dogs, riding her horses, swimming in Quilcene Bay and enjoying life in general.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property for so many reasons. I had a huge list of wants when I was shopping for this property. I thought I would never find everything on my list. Thank goodness for my patient realtor!
I wanted waterfront property. It has to be saltwater-so I would have a beach and most importantly the water temperature had to warm up for swimming in the summer months. Quilcene Bay was the the right place for my swimming family. Quilcene Bay is such a clean pristine bay.
We wanted a place to kayak-this was the right choice again. We kayak all over this bay. The best part is that across from our property is national forest land. There are great coves to explore and no houses. What a rare treat.
We wanted waterfront acreage that was secluded. This was a great fit. We wanted a very charming type of house-cabin-hands down this was it. We wanted enough space-bedrooms-bathrooms to have our friends come and stay too.
Our list of course included somewhere with a great view, quiet and a big factor was where our rescue dogs could come and run around, swim and not disturb anyone.
We needed a quiet setting, country road that we could do our walks on...
We found everything we wanted at this property and believe me I shopped for years to find this special place.
My family has made years and years of memories at The Quilcene Bay Hideaway. We hope your family and friends can come and make memories at the Quilcene Bay Hideaway too.

What makes this property unique

So many benefits...waterfront, with mountain views, acreage with trails, room to explore, quiet, great kayaking, charming home with lots to do.
