The home is exquisite, recently remodeled with gorgeously selected and appointed everything! The owners have spared nothing in appointing their home for comfort and environmental health and making all amenities available to guests: super clean everywhere, more than enough organic bed linens and towels, organic cleansers for hands, body, hair. Games, art supplies, books, magazine, DVDs, kayaks, floats, life jackets, and a fully equipped kitchen. All furniture and bed mattresses were super comfortable, super clean, and modern. The interior design in every room shows quality and high taste in finishings details. The owners provided more than sufficient information prior to check-in, and on the table inside there was a thick resource book covering all aspects related to the home, and to the surrounding community, including entertainment and activities near by in the area. You can tell the abundant love and generosity they poured into making this home an oasis for the soul and a perfect get away retreat from the hectic day to day. It sleeps 8-12 and is large enough for a gathering of family and friends which we so enjoyed. The home is situated on a bluff with a to-die-for view of the lake and mountains. The night time sky views are mesmerizing. They even provided a high quality set of binoculars. It is an easy walk down stairs or on a side path to Lake Cushman. Sitting on the dock at lakeside, or on the deck in Adirondack chairs up above, is simply gorgeous,quiet, relaxing and peaceful. It was really hard to leave on our last day....and we can't wait to come back.

I prefer this place over the expensive Alderbrook suites and Oceanside stays. It's a laid back atmosphere, so much hiking behind the park, you can bring your dog and nobody minds, there's even an awesome easily accessible forest dog trail. This is affordable yet safe and private. You can kayaks, swim, shrimping, crabbing, boating and it's safe. Theres a gazebo and fire pit with bbq grills. Completely affordable. I'd recommend this for any family with or without pets, or solo traveler who wants to get away, far better than air bnb prices and rules.

In fact, tiny everything - living area, bathroom - except for the great king-sized bed in the bedroom. What really made our stay was hanging out in front of the owners' house next door, right on the canal! Amazing view and setting, so relaxing we would just sit and stare, or have a glass of wine. There is a fire pit, so if there's no burn ban that would be fun. Leo and Caroll were great hosts, and insist that they are OK with people like us virtually living in their front yard for hours!

Wendy, the owner, and her manager, Royce, are professional, responsive, and thoughtful people. During a three week stay during the covid restrictions, I witnessed the rooms thoroughly cleaned after the departure of each guest, with employees wearing masks the entire time they were in each room. Units include living areas, fireplaces, separate bedrooms, and kitchens, which can save on food costs during an extended stay, and there is a laundry machine and dryer. One possible drawback is the quite dedicated Mom Hummingbird who built a nest immediately in front of the office entrance. She doesn't hurt anyone, but prepare to be startled!

Negatives: 1. Faucet handles needs upgrading. 2. No stopper on the sink. I use a Kleenex, to prevent anything small falling in the pipes. 3. The room is not so bright. I have to turn on the TV for additional lights, so I can see what I'm doing. I cut & sew! I need ceiling lights! 4. No EWTN TV. 5. The bathroom and the bed is not ADA Compliance. I have bursitis, so it's difficult for me to climb up the California Bed. We have that at home, but I get up on a step stool, to get in/out of bed. The tub is hard to get out, specially if it's slippery.

We were in room 25, with a gorgeous view of the Sound. We had two queens (haha, so very appropriate...!). The mattresses seemed new and were comfortable. The room was clean, the sheets fresh, the kitchen area clean and stocked with Keurig cups (well, that's a bit of a downer, but not their fault). The room was very nicely decorated with all kinds of quirky prints and hangings, making the room cheerful and fun. The TV was quite large (55" ?). The halls and other common areas were clean and well decorated, again cheerful and fun. The grounds include a parking area for RV's which was well organized, neat and tidy, with a couple green areas and some cabins on the North side, but that wasn't the main event... ! They have a very pretty little stream that even had a few flowers when we visited and which empties into the sound, where the estuarial mix of fresh and salt waters attracts birds (and fish? need to find out!). They have a small pebble beach with steps leading down where they said it is fine to launch a kayak or two! To the South there is a power plant outlet! My excitement might puzzle those of you who don't fish in Winter, but not only is it deep and fast running, but may be warm enough to attract fish. It, like everything else we saw about the waters, appeared clean and free of trash, as one might typically see nearby RV camping. And..., There are some lovely businesses nearby at HoodCanal. We had coffee there at a very nice little shop (HoodCanal Coffee, who'd have thunk it?) and then ventured next door to the little wine shop, which was FULL of curios, art, and so many lovely little things. The proprietress was wonderfully chatty and really helped fill us in on the area. And that leads us to the people... ! The nice lady running the hotel was out of the office (pro tip: there is a call button to the right of the office door that pages her, so just tap that), but popped up quickly. She was very friendly and, when we ran out of coffee creamer, which we mentioned in passing in the hall, she told me not to bother coming down the stairs to the office and that she would bring it right up, which she did. She also had more information on the local area that was very helpful. We were very pleasantly surprised and will certainly be back... with kayak(s)!

I was impressed by how many fun things there were to do. The boat and paddle board rentals on sight were great to have, though we didn't have time to take advantage on this trip. I really enjoy a good classic a resort, but sometimes they are hard to find. The massage was amazing. She did such a wonderful job getting out knots and tight spots without hurting me. The only thing I wish there was is fresh coffee in the lobbies in the morning. I hate K cups, personally. They don't taste good and are bad for the environment. Plus making coffee in the room wakes my wife up and I like to let her sleep in. They have a coffee shop, but I wanted it in a mug. We ended up going to the restaurant for coffee and a fruit bowl which was perfect. I loved all the little spaces to hang out and enjoyed writing in the little workspace on our floor. The view and setting made it easy to feel productive and made my writing feel less boring than usual (I'm in school). The staff were all super sweet and thoughtful throughout. So happy that this magical place exists! Excited to return. Our favorite part was Brook the kitty. We are big fans of hers.

Although we were seated quickly and had a nice view of Hood Canal, the service and food have not improved. Our waiter was very bland and gave the impression that he wasn't all that interested in being there. My GF had the crab cakes. As you can see in the photo, each was about the size of a fifty-cent piece. So each cost around $20 and were not worth anything close to that. My miso sturgeon was only ok. Dry and without a hint of miso, it was disappointing. The best item was the side Brussels Sprouts. Crisp and tasty. So, the restaurant and resort are well located, and I'm sure the hotel rooms are nice. You just may want to eat elsewhere.
