Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful stay and loved the back deck and stairs down to the water. The game room was tons of fun and well stocked. Great for our group of 4 adults and 2 pre-teens. Would absolutely stay again!

Birthday in Eldon
I had a wonderful 22nd birthday at the Eldon House! Communication with the hosts was efficient, the property matched expectations, and the 4 day trip was all I could ask for! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and peaceful spot on the water where you can gaze your heart out on the water feeling nothing but contentment. The trip was extra special by the chipmunk who made it their life mission to stare ant you through the window and chirp daily.

Amazing location and great well equipped house
Lovely stay - amazing views and wildlife and great to swim and then jump in the hot tub. Highly recommend getting kayaks delivered from Christina Moloney at Hood Canal Adventures - loads to explore right from the beach by the house

Great spot to relax!
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.

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.

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.

Jaw droppingly gorgeous
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.

Amazing home and fantastic location! Such a peaceful and relaxing get-away!
We had such a wonderful time here. The home is spacious and comfy at the same time. The back deck has such a nice view and beach access was fantastic. The home owners are very responsive and obviously cared quite a bit about our comfort and happiness throughout our stay. We highly recommend this rental for your next vacation. Thank you so much Sonny!

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.

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!!

Relaxing and Great Location
We enjoyed our stay at the Eldon house. It was conveniently located near the main road, local store, and the Hama Hama oyster house. Yet, we had an amazing view, privacy, and access to hood canal. The house is spacious with well stocked kitchen appliances and cooking materials. We had plenty of room for our two families of four to enjoy the outdoors and spend time in the lovely indoor space as well. Sonny was very responsive when we had an glitch in the reservation system. My only suggestion is for guests to bring extra towels for the beach and hottub.

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.
