This house is charming, right across the road from water on Hood Canal, and was a bargain! Def want to stay again next time with our large (10-12) ladies hiking group. 4 bathrooms! The most fully stocked kitchen we have stayed in and cool artwork all over house. Highly recommend this property on edge of town & near Lake Cushman.

This was a great place for our two families to spend time together in Hoodsport. We walked to the town many times, spent time on the beach and out on the water on paddleboards, and enjoyed watching the seals on the dock.

Great weekend getaway

We had a great stay at the yellow house. The beds were comfortable and there was lots of space (the basement especially was bigger than expected!). We made a small fire outside and enjoyed the hot tub after a rainy hike. The well-stocked pantry made it feel like home. And a beautiful view to top it all off!

Amazing views

The house has a very unique layout but fit our family and the backyard was beautiful for pictures. The upper and lower decks are a great place to sit and see the view of the water. It’s a quick walk to town to get coffee and ice cream too!

Amazing.

Don’t hesitate and book this place. The views were amazing and the house had everything. Walking distance from local restaurants and stores. It was so clean and cozy we did not want to leave! There were seals every morning on the floating dock out front (have to get up at 5am though). We can’t wait to visit again.

Fabulous place, Great for group gathering

We enjoyed our time at the Yellow House. The home was well stocked and cared for. Great detail was put into hosting a large group---plenty of seating areas, serving utensils/small kitchen appliances/ect. A beautiful view and we enjoyed walking the beach area. We had a group of 12 celebrating Mom's 70th birthday. This was the first time my husband's siblings have all been together for a vacation like this in 25+ years. Everyong love the house and area. We hope to come back!

Family time

Had another lovely 4th of July at the Yellow House with friends and family. Plenty of room for all to spread out, from watching movies to playing games. They even allowed us to hold a small wedding on the lawn. Hate to say good things as I want to keep it a secret! Darnell is a great host and always quick to respond.

Amazing as always!!!

This was our now third time at the "Yellow House" and it has become our yearly summer getaway trip. We had an amazing time here as always with the amazing view, the great back porch with a hot tub, fire pit and separate grills for Oysters and other things to grill and the generous amount of sleeping space inside the house. We spent the weekend there and left feeling like we wanted to stay the rest of the week. We are already looking forward to going next year! Such a great place for a large group and I highly recommend this place. I wish I could give it more than five stars! Thanks again as always!

Our Christmas Gift: The Yellow House

This house is directly across the road from the Hood Canal. The road was busy, but we had a pretty view of the water. The house was clean and equipped with several kitchen tools and several staples such as kitchen seasonings. The house was smaller than we expected from the picture(several small rooms), but there were plenty of sleeping spaces. I

great place

Very spacious and well equipped. Clean and comfortable. Great views and places to relax. Some troubles with wifi connections. Only real problem was with the door code. Numbers on lock are in groupings that don't easily match the code we were given. Owner needs to explain that puzzle more clearly as we could not get in at first and weren't immediately able to reach anyone to exlani the mystery.

Best place to stay for a dive trip to Hood Canal

The house is well equipped and super comfy. Large flat screen TVs, lots of DVDs, great kitchen, great dining area for the group to sit together and talk about the day's diving. An extremely well designed dive shed with place for at least 10 divers to gear up, a heated drying room for the gear, a hot tub, the list goes on and on and on. Oh, and there is a really nice dive park right in front of the house (currently with a GPO and a wolf eel in residence), and many other of the Hood Canal Western Shore highlight dive sites are close by (e.g. Sund Rock). The local dive shop is literally within walking distance. It's simply perfect for divers. The owner is amazing to work with - all I can say is that I LOVE this place. Can't wait to be back.

Bring families together here

There are so many outdoor activities to do here in this area and yet we all seemed to enjoy just spending time together here at the yellow house. The ice cream shop is incredible the Market is fabulous and dinning on the dock of the Mexican restaurant were all walkable for myself and my family. I must admit it was a very enjoyable place to relax and experience the essence of the Hood Canal. Hoodsport is a gem. This property is perfectly located close to the town with shops and services. Our group consisted of 5 kids between the ages of 3 and 7 years of age. 3 sets of parents and grand parents. we entertained visitors and enjoyed the front porch, the back patio, the fire pit on the side of the house and the kids had a ball foraging for tiny rock crabs and other sea life. Happy to stay again excellent spaces

Great Family Place

We had a great family reunion July 1-7, 2018. Plenty of space for everyone and the yellow house was very accommodating and well equipped. Weather was fantastic and we enjoyed the sea lion hanging out on the swim platform. I will mention that a little TLC is probably in order. Beds were pretty uncomfortable (not very high quality mattresses) and a few things like toaster and BBQ grill were not functioning properly. Plus I'm not sure how well the place was cleaned before we got there. Trash cans were full, there were mounds of laundry downstairs and tons of food in the fridge that we had to move, sort through or trash. None of this really affected our stay negatively but I expected better. Would probably stay again if we were out that way but would check for availability of other places first.

We welcome all comments, especially on ways we can be even better! It is helpful for our guests to point out issues so we can be aware and fix them. Our housekeeper is very attentive to details, and this is a case of someone else attempting to do her job, but unable to reach her standards. It is a great property for families and The Yellow House is so glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hosting you in the future and meeting your expectations!
