We rented the place for the weekend for the grand finale of our D&D campaign. The views were incredible, the hot tub was comfortable, and overall it was the perfect place for six of us for a weekend. The hosts were extremely helpful and responsive.

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!

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.

Just what you want for a getaway

Beatiful wood framing. Gorgeous views. Reasonably stocked kitchen. Convenient store close by. Walk on the beach. Close to many trails. Hot tubThe only thing I would change would be a way to make the hot tob a little hotter, but then I like it HOT!

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.

Amazing home! Wonderful location

This house is so amazing! From the deck you have the most beautiful view of Hood Canal and beach access is just down the staircase. The home is really well maintained and has everything you need for a get-away. The owner is very pleasant to work with and we definitely will be staying here again in the future. Thanks Sonny!

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.

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.

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.
