Hood Canal Beach house, Low bank waterfront, enjoy nature from your deck

The perfect 'beach house' experience awaits you at the Madrona Cottage at Pleasant Cove. The newly remodeled 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on the shores of Hood Canal has been the treasured jewel of our family for 4 generations and we can't wait to share the magic of this idyllic spot with you: A low bank waterfront with expansive tidelands gives you easy access to clams and oysters, and of course Hood Canal's pristine waters. Also famous for the warmest waters in Puget Sound reaching 70 degrees in Pleasant Cove during mid-summer. The waters of Hood Canal are perfect for all water sports. Madrona Cottage boasts a deep wooded lot (one acre) next to the salmon-bearing Stimson creek, separating you from the hustle-and-bustle and gives you a serene connection to nature. Unlike many homes on Hood Canal The Madrona Cottage is separated from the road by a wooded buffer.

Enjoy your morning coffee from the wrap around deck of the cottage or launch one of the kayaks and explore Hood Canal. Send the Kids to the beach for beach-combing, swimming or join them in the woods to explore the stream. In the fall, experience the struggle of the salmon as they migrate from Hood Canal up Stimson Creek to spawn. Take the family on a nature walk up Elfendahl Pass Road (directly across from our driveway) as it follows the stream. The Tahuya ORV park is 6 miles away up Elfendahl Pass Road as well as a popular spot for shooting sports. There are also many hiking opportunities in the Tahuya State Forest just north of the Madrona Cottage. (https://www.hikingproject.com/directory/8019513/tahuya-state-forest)

In the evening enjoy a sunset dinner on the deck with your 180 degree view of the canal and south shore lights. Cosy up around the fire pit, making s’mores or just sipping wine under the stars.

Cottage amenities include: fully stocked, large, gourmet kitchen with brand new appliances, all the cooking utensils needed to prepare a gourmet meal, washing machine and dryer, Keurig coffee maker, French press, propane barbecue, shaded deck, 2 kayaks, 1 row boat. The lawn is big enough to accommodate your lawn games. The public boat ramp is a few driveways away and we have parking for three cars (or, with one car, even your ORV or trailered boat). Perfect for families and groups up to 7 people. We look forward to hosting you!
