Perfect spot
This was a perfect vacation home and location for my family. Water access for kayaking, boating, and wonderful swimming. Beautiful views and very very well stocked, lots of clean towels and everyone you’d need in the kitchen. (However the condition of the pots and pans were pretty bad, as is often the case at rentals- I’d recommend bringing a multipurpose pan if you care about such things) Bottom line- I can’t recommend this spot enough.

Relaxing River View
The home and property is perfect for getaway. We had a friends reunion and it was so tranquil. My girlfriends loved the hot tub and we loved watching the tide going out and all the bird watching. The views are incredible from various decks and inside house. Kitchen has everything and rooms are setup comfortably. The location to Hama Hama and Eldon Store was amazing! I’d love to return! Owners very nice and helpful calling me when I had a question & sending me tip alert on orca pods on Hood River Canal. Thank you so much!!

Superb property
Weekend away with a family of 6. The view from the deck and beach is spectacular, and the house is really well kitted out. Perfect place to sit and read by big picture windows, watch the seals from the deck, chill in the hot tub and we had a wonderful evening around the fire pit. Would love to visit again.

The house was exactly as described and had everything needed for a family of four to stay the week and explore the Olympic Peninsula! Loved hanging out on the beach near the canal and spending evenings on the deck.

Beautiful Home
We had a wonderful stay at the beautiful Eldon House. The house is perfectly sited to allow for maximum views and privacy. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching eagles and heron feed on the flats below and the serenity of the environment. The house was very comfortable and had every amenity you could possibly think of. The owners are easy to deal with, quick to respond and make check-in and out a breeze. Highly recommend this property if you are planning to stay in the area.

This house was perfect. It had a variety of indoor and outdoor gathering spaces for every type of weather. Incredibly well stocked, every time we needed something it was right at hand. The beauty of the house was only eclipsed by the view. The beds were super comfortable too.

Great property, beautiful views
What a great property! Located right on Hood Canal, this house has beautiful, serene views from the living room and expansive outdoor deck area. It's very clean, well maintained, and really offers the perfect amount of privacy for a relaxing experience. And the location is great, just a mile north of Hama Hama Oysters and quick, easy drives to Brinnon, Hoodsport and surrounding beaches and forests for outdoor activities. We enjoyed using the hot tub, fire pit, outdoor grill and lounging on the deck. And we loved being able to walk down the stair access to the beach below. There was a wide selection of games, books and DVDs to use as well. The check-in and checkout process were easy and this is a property we would come back to. Highly recommend if you're looking to stay in the area.

Great views on Hood Canal
Two of us stayed at Eldon House for three days. The house has great views from the rooms inside, from the spacious deck, and at water level down the (101) steps. It's quiet and very private. If we're fortunate enough to return to Hood Canal we'd certainly put Eldon House at the top of our list. Like all the properties we've used in Washington, the house has a "no shoes" policy, so in order to accommodate all those unplanned trips between the kitchen and the deck, bring something that slips on and off easily.

Private Wedding Ceremony
We held our intimate wedding ceremony in this hidden gem. Our wedding day began with seal sightings and a low tide. Allowing us to enjoy the beach while admiring the Hamma Hamma Oyster Farm from afar. We were also graced with two beautiful eagles 🦅 before and after our wedding ceremony. The memories we made in this beautiful home will forever be held close to our hearts. Sonny was amazing and very understanding and approachable. The home was well kept and had everything we hoped for and more.

Wonderful, quiet getaway
My wife and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary by getting away to this lovely home on Hood Canal. It is perched up above the beach on a cliff with direct access via a staircase. The home is immaculate and very inviting. We loved all the amenities including the BBQ grill, hot tub, fully stocked kitchen, game room, and more. One thing to note, there is no wifi or TV service, so plan accordingly. They do have a library of DVDs, VHS recordings and a HDMI cable to plug in your laptop (we downloaded a bunch of Netflix before heading out). It was a welcome change to slow down from the crazy pace of life and just relax. We saw tons of eagles and sealife. The Hamma Hamma Oyster Saloon is less than a 5-minute drive away. There are few restaurant options about 15 minutes away in Hoodsport. We loved our time here and hope to return soon!
