No Better View of the Olympics (near Alderbrook Resort)

This was a perfect place for us, I just wish we could have stayed longer. Bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen were all great. The view was amazing, and the ambiance was comfortable. I’d stay there again in a heartbeat.

When you first drive up the address is nearly impossible to see it’s covered by over grown bushes and vines. When you do finally get down into the driveway there is VERY little room to park. When we opened the door to the cabin a seriously foul smell hit us in the face like a ton of bricks. So we figured maybe it needed aired out. We opened the sliding glass door and all the room windows and allowed it to air out for 2 hours while we went to dinner. We also went and bought two different types of air fresheners, wall plugs and spray. Nothing helped. The only way I could describe the smell was like urine but it was so overwhelming we ended up leaving at 9pm on the first night and booking a room in port orchard because that was the closest thing available. It was such a disappointment. Gene was very good at communicating but offered nothing for our troubles of having to leave due to a horrible smell. It was very shocking. Also we never did see the area they describe as a campground with a fire pit. And couldn’t find the stairs leading down towards the beach. Definitely will not be back here and would not recommend if smells are offensive to you.

I only needed one night in the rental, but it was perfect for what I needed. Small, warm, quiet.

Great view and Gene is a wonderful host!

Gene is truly an amazing host!! The place is small but perfect. Nicely tucked in under the trees which keeps the place cool. I suggest that you use the stairway at the back of the home down, cross the street, to the padded area right on the beach. There is a fire pit and when the tide is high you can jump right in off the padded grassy area. Bring corn hole and set it up there. We brought our paddle boards too, We couldn't be more happier with the place. You will not regret this stay!!

The view of Hood Canal was awesome and serene.

The family and I loved it. We brought our own air mattress and a couple of us slept in the deck because it was so beautiful and the view was pretty to wake up too. The owner is very sweet and accommodating. even though his place is right next door he keeps to him self and you don’t even notice he’s there lol. Very clean place, bed was comfy, and it even had a couple board games for the kids. Definitely want to come back ☺️

The view is amazing!!! I just wish i had more then one night there.

The view is fantastic! Only 45 minutes from where we live but it was a wonderful getaway! House was well equipped, and didn’t have to bring much. My family and I loved it there and definitely want to come back.

A very beautiful view and nice layoutGood restaurants close by and was able to get fresh oysters right off the beach

The host Gene is really exceptional. He responds to any questions immediately. .He is professional and makes you feel like you are truly being taken care of while experiencing your stay in this magnificent cabin.The view of the Olympics is quintessential NW. Love having the outside deck to enjoy sunset.The cabin is very clean and cozy and has a good arrangement of seating to enjoy the living place and dine with a view!Good kitchen well equipped too.This cabin is the perfect place to stay while exploring the Hoods Canal

Perfect spot for our girls’ trip! Beautiful views, relaxing atmosphere, and plenty to do locally. We had a wonderful visit and look forward to booking again.

Great communication from host.

Gene is very kind and has great knowledge of the area. The cabin was just what we needed for a relaxing weekend.

Beautiful view and comfortable house! Gene is very helpful and the location is great for exploring the area. Well stocked kitchen.

host so helpful. cabin divine!! Olympics gorgeous.thought I already sent this.. Experience was perfect in all ways!

Gorgeous views and close to many hiking trails. Clean, comfortable, simple. Close to alderbrook and two margaritas for great meals. Thoughtful amenities in the bathroom. Great and responsive host!

The view was spectacular, even in November. The host was very easy going and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Loved the veiw!!!

Cosy cottage with fantastic porch facing the canal. Peaceful space.

Very Comfortable with a well appointed Kitchen. Excellent view of Hood Canal and occasional glimpses of mountains through the fog and clouds. Would recommend visiting the Union Visitor Center for good information about the sites and activities in the area. We enjoyed a few hikes to waterfalls and dinner of Oysters and Dungenese crabs. Preparing meals was easy in the spacious and well appointed kitchen. Perhaps the only drawback was the motorcycles on the road below the cabin and canal. I would recommend this place as a nice romantic getaway for a couple.

I love the amazing view of the hood canal and nice kitchen and dining table , great bedroom.

A nice spot to spend a couple of nights. Areas to explore nearby. We paddle boarded nearby Host was friendly

We had booked Genes cabin for a birthday weekend. The cabin has an awesome view is well stocked with dishes and is very clean. Really enjoyed meeting Gene owner and enjoyed our stay there very much. Even though there was a mix-up with our booking, and the cabin was overbooked. Jean went out of his way to upgrade us to a friend's cabin right on the water. I highly recommend this rental! And Gene the owner is an awesome guy!

Comfortable home for a mid-week getaway. Very peaceful.location with a majestic view of the Olympic Mountains.

We were only able to stay one night. The cabin is right across the road from the lake. It has a fantastic view to wake up to and have a cup of coffee on the balcony. The cabin was tidy. The bathroom is on the other side of the cabin from the bedroom, but it's a small cabin, so not a big deal unless you have a couple of night runs. The bed was adiquit, a little on the soft side. The owner, Gene was very nice and gave us a few suggestions for hiking. We drove to the Staircase Trail in Olympic Nat'l Park. It was a beautiful rainforest hike. Not much of an elevation change so easy for most. The road getting back there is a bit bumpy, so drive slowly once you hit the gravel road. We ate dinner and breakfast at the Resort , just up the road. Food, drinks, service and view were all great! There's a trail in the resort that is every bite as nice as the first trail. A little more elevation change, but nothing too extreme. I would go back to the cabin. It's quint and in a good location if you want to explore that section of Olympic NP. The lake would also be fun to spend some time. There were paddle boarders and kyakers in it.

Beautiful deck with view! Beach is not easy to get to. Accommodating host!

The cabin was comfortable and great views. We enjoyed staying in Union and ate at the local places, which were very good. Tides were perfect for picking up some oysters on the private beach and very tasty and abundant. The bed is very comfortable and nice sheets. The TV was hard to figure out and no info on how to work the 2 controls. luggage racks would be nice to have also. We would stay here again.

Cute property! The best part was sitting in the reclining chairs at night looking out over the water, and drinking coffee out there in the morning watching the squirrels and deer play. So peaceful.

Cleanest place ever! The view is spectacular, and great location!

Great views and had everything we needed. Excellent communication from owner.

The view was outstanding and the kitchen had what we needed for meal prep. We were so fortunate to have a beautiful day!Thr facility has seen better days and could use some maintenance. ie.burned out kitchen light bulb, unattached drain cover in shower, inefficient toilet and no spare toilet paper, food left in cabinet from previous tenant and the couches were uncomfortable. The place and setting are really worth some TLC - come for a night and see for yourself light bulb

Snug cabin with panoramic view of Hood Canal enjoyed from living area or roomy deck. Owner directed us to what was open in off-season. Kitchen supplies adequate. Serene view of Olympic Mtns through moving fog. Easy access to Lake Cushman and southern end of national park.

Excellent

we had a quick one night little stay at this cottage. It was nice and clean, great location, easy check-in very easy process beginning to end.

Great place beautiful view and very cozy

Really pretty view. We had a great time.

Gene's little house is not new and modern. Since we don't like new and modern, it was perfect for us. A house with soul. Pretty much everything you'd need is there. The bed is super comfortable! And Gene is super responsive, plus interesting to talk with. This is a good find!

Came for my niece’s wedding at Alderbrook Resort. It was the perfect location, only 3 minutes drive to the resort (and a lot more affordable!). Beautiful view, clean house, everything you would need. Very cozy and quiet. Highly recommend!

This place was fantastic. The location was breathtaking. It was clean. All necessary supplies were available. We were able to use the grill on the deck while we watched the golden hour fall over the water and mountains. Truly magical and a fair price.

We enjoyed it. I'm not good at reviews. Sorry.

Nice location. Glad there was just the 2 of us. Too small for 6 with just 1 bathroom and an additional futon and blowup bed? Beautiful views and comfortable bed. Close to Alderbrook and all its attractions. Just right for the 2 of us.
