Great location!
Maintenance needed, plants growing through foundation into house are a clue.
Hard for mobility challenged with steps up to bedroom, bathroom down. A bedroom down with a small bed.
Bring kindling if you want a fire in ancient free-standing fireplace. Can gather from outside, lots of sticks.
Shower not for big folks.
Sorry about negativity, we had a great weekend but will find a different place next time.
Oh, and the mouse…

amazing, beautiful spot
A cozy cabin with plenty of room for 2 - a short (steep!) walk to the beach, and right next to a cute little town. We loved every minute here, and would come back to relax again.

Orca’s and fresh caught shrimp
Everything was as expected and more! There was two days of shrimp fishing and a fisherman who had spoken to us brought us a huge bag of 5-7” shrimp for our enjoyment. We watched two orcas playing for hours from the front porch picnic table while having morning coffee! There were several outlets nearby to the Olympic Park and we saw a herd of Roosevelt Elk at the Jefferson wildlife reserve. Most of all, our hosts kindness and respect plus the cute touches in the cabin really eclipsed the natural wonders we were fortunate enough to witness!

Central location to PNW
About an hour or two drive to anything you want to see or do. Beautiful views. Nothing fancy, but a great cozy place to return to after a day of exploring. Main bedroom is very nice.

Property not safe or clean. Angry, aggressive host.
Weeds growing out of the floor in the kitchen. Ants all over the kitchen. Smoke detector had been covered in foil by previous guests. Linens were dirty. The fireplace is unsafe to use.
I did not notice most of this until after I had stayed one night. My husband and friend were to arrive for the second night, but I found other accommodations for us all. I notified host that I was leaving because of the state of the property, did not ask for a refund, and she accused me of trying to scam her. VRBO customer service rep suggested that they would request partial refund, I did not ask. Host then messaged me to say she would take me to small claims court if I disputed the charge on my credit card.
Terrible experience overall.

Wonderful cabin between Hood Canal & Olympic Park
This was a beautiful location, and the listing was as described. All the essentials were available, including wifi, smart TV, outdoor seating, and a grill. The neighbors were quiet, and the views were unmatched. Thank you!!

Our favorite cabin
This was our 3rd stay at Sheps and can't recommend it enough. This was the first time visiting at the tail end of summer and we made good use of the propane BBQ and firepit. Fantastic view and well insulated, cozy space.

First of all, the location is lovely and I can see how the property was cozy in its day. The property is somewhat beyond “rustic”, closer to run down with deferred maintenance. We’re used to camping, so don’t expect or need luxury. Where the concerns came in was the mold and mildew in the bathroom where there was a leak under the sink resulting in warped wood and visible mold and mildew as well as a bad odor that permeated the whole cabin. At some point someone knew about the leak because there were a couple of sponges placed under it. The back of the cabin is completely overgrown by ivy and blackberry, to the extent that some was growing in through the bathroom window and up under the kitchen sink. The carpet in the living room felt moist but we couldn’t locate a source so maybe just general water intrusion from beneath. It was difficult to tell if linens were clean because of the mold/mildew smell. It should also be noted that there are no doors to either sleeping area, not a big deal for us as just two people, but not great if you want a little privacy. The second bedroom is the corner of a storage space off the bathroom and its window is also entirely blocked by overgrown vegetation. There were burned out lightbulbs throughout. The beach does not belong to the property, it is a small park. The neighbors watch you like a hawk to make sure you don’t accidentally step over the park boundary-even in the water.

It’s all about being on the water to me. Perfect location for a traditional PNW vacation. Bring your oyster worthy beach/water shoes. The master has been updated beautifully while the rest of the cabin is dated but clean.

This is a nice place for duo or close group of four. Bedrooms are open concept. The master bedroom is the highlight. Nice setting with beautiful views. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed and host was communicative.

The memories they must have
I couldn’t stop thinking about if these walls could talk. Its a really good thing. I feel this is one of the original cabins for settling in the hood canal. It was very cool to sit out front and watch nature. And oh yes! We did see a pod of Orcas. That was very cool. Fun stay for my wife and I, a small cozy house.

Hoodsport Cabin Stay
First, I did send an email to the host or property manager yesterday, May 19th at 6:09 p.m. PDT telling her of our concerns. As of now, 5/21 at noon, PDT I have not had a response from her. When we first arrived we almost turned around and went back home. The exterior of the property is severely neglected with overgrown weeds everywhere. There's a huge tree to the left of the stone path/steps and all of the dead blooms covered the stone area to the point where a first time visitor had difficulty determining where the steps were. Inside was clean and comfortable. We had an emergency with one of our rentals and had to leave the next morning but had that not come up we probably would have left anyway. The tipping point with that decision was when we discovered vegetation growing from under the sink and through the cabinet into the kitchen. This also shows neglect. The property is not as described. There is no beach access like shown in the picture and described in the property description. All of that is now a bulkhead with no beach access.

Olympic National Park
Just stayed two days to see Olympic National Park. Great location right on the water, very calm and relaxing. Host very responsive. As described, had everything we needed.
Drove up the west side of peninsula to Lake Quinault and rain forest. Great one day trip. Beautiful area, had good weather.

Hoodsport Vacation
The property was wonderful. The view was peaceful and great, especially from the bedroom. I would book the place again.
One question I have when staying somewhere is: what do I need to bring. For example, there's a grill which is accurately listed in the description. It's a gas grill - quite excellent - so don't bring charcoal.
It's not quite clear on the property rules, but do not cross over the property boundary on the beach. We did so and were served legal papers by the neighbors.
The property has two bedrooms, but the second bedroom has no privacy as it's open to the only bathroom. This wasn't an issue with us since there were only two of us. The second bedroom would be fine for a small child, but not fine for two couples.
Overall, we enjoyed the place and would return.

A cabin out of a fairy tale.
Very nice cabin in a beautiful quite location. There were many more pros than cons for this cabin.
Pros: The cabin was very clean, check-in was a very easy process and check-out instructions were straightforward. The town of Hoodsport was small, but everything we needed was there. Grocery, coffeeshop, good restaurants.
A few cons to our stay: The bedrooms didn't have doors and the windows had see-through window covering if any at all. But, only a couple of vehicles passed by during our 3 night stay. Another con that another reviewer mentioned was the very leaky refrigerator which surprised us with a wet floor. And lastely, my partner and her daughter thought this was "enchanting" - but there were plants growing into the house.
I would 100% recommend this VRBO. The location, relaxing sounds of the water and the delicious blackberries were a much need getaway from North Carolina.

The property was nice, the outside could have used some landscaping and the garbage was already full when we arrived. The fridge had a leak which kept getting the floor wet but other than that it was a nice stay.

Funky Waterfront Cabin
I loved our three night stay at Shep's Castle! Cynthia is a former antiques store owner and it shows--such fun and eclectic decor that I just love! The cabin is old and funky, and right on the water! We spent hours sitting in our camp chairs just staring at the view. My daughter went paddle boarding several times on her new inflatable SUP. The beach isn't really great for walking and the tide comes way up when it's high, and I wasn't able to find another place for beach walks. So many oysters and the shells are sharp--make sure to have good shoes! Many people collect the oysters and eat them, but we weren't brave enough--haha! I would definitely stay again, this is a unique find!

Beautiful water views!
This property had beautiful views of the canal, any closer and you'd need waders! Very quaint little place, quiet too, eclectic decor, comfortable bed. Just a few minutes drive from Hoodsport. The owner was very responsive to my questions, which was helpful when the door lock was a bit fussy. Only downgrade was the dining table hadn't been wiped off, and the coffee pot left with old coffee and grounds in it. Bring your own hair dryer, I forgot and regretted it!

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.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
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.
この宿泊施設の特徴
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!!
