Wild Oyster Lodge on Hood Canal: Breathtaking Water Views, Beach, & Hot tub

Escape in style to the incredible natural beauty and tranquility of the Olympic Peninsula at the Wild Oyster Lodge. This expansive log home, set on high-bank water-front and surrounded by towering pines, provides sweeping views of Hood Canal from its large deck and oversized chef's kitchen. You will enjoy the rugged beauty of the sea and woods from the comfort of this well-appointed, contemporary home with elevated décor and furnishings. It's a perfect jumping off point to explore the Olympic Peninsula.

Wild Oyster Lodge sits on Dabob Bay, a secluded bay on the north Hood Canal, surrounded by protected wilderness and a quarter-mile down the beach from one of Taylor Shellfish's oyster farms. Eagles and seals are your neighbors and the rocky beach (accessible by a long set of stairs, which is quite steep) abounds with fresh oysters. The home is located 15 minutes from Olympic National Park (with Mt. Walker and Canyon Falls trailheads nearby), and the quaint town of Quilcene 10 minutes away. Get out on the pristine waters of Dabob Bay with a pair of kayaks, explore the coastline or make the round trip to nearby Dabob Broad Spit, a boat-access only state park nearby with an incredible 3 story driftwood fort built by campers over decades.

The home has two large bedrooms, a sleeping loft, and bonus room with daybed to provide a comfortable stay for two families or a few groups of friends. The large sunroom and living room provide plenty of space to relax, play games or cozy up near the gas fireplace. One of the highlights of this getaway is the large professional kitchen, with seating for 8, and a granite island for breakfast, oysters or wine tasting. If you prefer outdoor cooking, there is also a Weber gas grill ready for you. Fiber Internet was recently installed, providing super fast speeds to allow for video calls and streaming movies.

Although its seclusion is one of its most unique features, this place may not be for everyone. It's a great place to connect and kick back, but it is intentionally TV- less. The nearby town of Quilcene only offers a few spots to eat and a small but well-supplied market(Quilcene Village Store), so it's recommended to pack groceries before you arrive and take advantage of the indoor/outdoor cooking and dining spaces at The Wild Oyster. The home has 2 outdoor security cameras, a doorbell camera on the front door and a camera monitoring the upper driveway.

Stunning!
My family stayed here for a week in July. We especially loved the deck with the most relaxing and beautiful views of the bay. The humming birds came to visit every afternoon and you could hear the seals on the beach at night. My kids loved going down to the beach to kayak, find oysters, shells and sand dollars. The oysters are plentiful and very tasty. The kitchen is a dream to cook in. The beds are comfortable. We would stay here again for sure!

Magical spot, great for kids
This was our second stay here and it was just as great as the first time. The kids loved playing in the basement, the adults loved enjoying a cocktail on the deck, and we all loved kayaking and exploring the beach at low tide. We will definitely be back for a third stay!

Five-day Stay in Complete Privacy
My wife and I and a friend spent nearly a week at Oyster Lodge mostly under completely blue skies and little wind. We enjoyed the privacy, the spa, the commercial gas stove, the huge kitchen, and oystering on the beach. The large propane grill was perfect for cooking oysters in the shell. We also went clamming at the nearby WDFW tidelands near Quilcene. The 100 steps down to the beach were a little challenging, but we all made it on several occasions. The house was very clean except for a sticky area on the floor of the sunroom. I was very pleased with Adam and Erin's responsiveness in retrieving a pair of pants I left behind in our rush to catch a ferry.

Amazing getaway!
This property is exactly as described and we loved our short stay. Some highlights were the amazingly comfortable beds, the daybed in the sunroom, the sunroom overlooking the bay, the hot tub, playing games, foraging for and eating fresh (and grilled) oysters, walks on the beach, seeing bald eagles and seals, kayaking, the kitchen, taking senior pictures in such an incredible location and so much more… cleanliness is a clear priority to this host and that was appreciated. Touches like a basket of towels for the hot tub just made it feel very welcoming and inviting… if you’re considering staying here, stay!!

Incredible, peaceful get-away
This place is truly a gem. I loved every minute and every nook and cranny it had to offer: the hot tub, the giant kitchen, the fireplace room, the sun room, the comfy beds, the outdoor space, the stairs to the beach. Nothing short of magical, restorative and exactly what I needed.

Sessions-- our song writing retreat
First impression of 'this is exactly what we were looking for' kept ringing true during our visit. The property is described well... it's actually better in real life. The inn is comfortable, inviting throughout, and has plenty of sitting, sleeping, bathrooms and lounging areas. The kitchen is large... and is a joy to cook in. Access to to the beach down the bluff and stairs is good. The hot tub was a peaceful end to our full days. What a treat... for our retreat!

Stunning property and location
What a phenomenal vacation property! We kayaked with seals, watched porpoises from the deck overlooking the bay, cooked in the amazing kitchen, and spent hours exploring the beach and watching wildlife. It was the perfect home base for exploring the Olympic peninsula. The hosts were extremely responsive and amazing. It was everything we could have hoped for and more!

Peaceful and beautiful
Spacious and lovely home. Property is secluded, has a water view and beach access. We spent quite a lot of time on the beach, and hardly saw another person. Large windows throughout the house let in natural light, as well as displaying the views. A bald eagle flew by right at eye level when we were in the sunroom and porch area. The kitchen is huge, and there are vaulted ceilings there and in the main living area. The kids loved the fancy bathroom sinks and the extra features like the tent teepee and games and toys. The hot tub was nice for relaxing in the evenings. If you're looking for a place that is quiet and to disconnect, look no further.

We had a wonderful time at the Oyster lodge property. The nature settings was pristine and home set up allowed for people to spread out and also enjoy time together on a patio for a family dinner as well as comfortable living room space. we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay including good quality cookware, temperature regulation for indoor comfort, shelf with books, etc several questions that were sent to the owners were promptly answered to assist with orienting and shopping in the area. We would absolutely love to return again if have opportunity to visit WA state.

My four kids love this house and begged us to return after our first trip in 2021. The views are beautiful, the water is pristine, the house is perfect and the kitchen is perfect for oysters! No TV is the best idea and as a result Our kids played ocean bingo on the deck and combed the beach at low tide. We will be back!

Olympic NP Getaway
We booked the Wild Oyster Lodge as our home base for our annual National Park Trip. We had never been to the PNW and loved everything about the area and the home. The walk down to the beach, kayaking on the Bay, the hot tub and morning coffee on the porch watching the quiet bay was just what we needed. Olympic NP was amazing! We spent some time driving all around, but enjoyed coming home along the winding drive and relaxing as a family. Thank you for great vacation!

A hidden escape from the world
We truly felt like we escaped from the world while we were here- which is just what we wanted! The lake view is breathtaking and the quietness is so calming. There are so many beautiful places to hike as Olympian National Park is just 15-20 minutes away. This is the perfect REMOTE vacation to unplug and escape reality and RELAX! We saw a lot of wild life, including a bear outside my window! I do recommend bringing bear spray or a bear horn however we were fine without one. The cabin was spacious and had mostly everything we needed. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to return to the Oyster Lodge Cabin very soon! 10/10 recommend!

Huge but cozy!
We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas at Wild Oyster Lodge. Inclement weather delayed our arrival but owner was super helpful with info about the road and conditions. We picked many oysters on the beach, enjoyed the hot tub, and spent lots of time in the cozy living room playing games, where there was even a lit Christmas tree for a fun, festive touch. The kitchen is huge, and we put it to good use. Bedrooms are spacious - more than enough room for us (3) Thank you!

This listing is absolutely stunning. The home is designed and decorated perfectly to compliment and highlight the most wonderful feature of this listing... the setting! Surrounded by Washington's beautiful and very tall trees and with the full views of water from almost every room in the home, you can literally drink your coffee and watch the habor seals bobbing in the distance. This home was so amazing, it actually became one of the favorite parts of our entire trip (and we had a really good trip)! We would love to visit again in the future!
