Hood Canal Escape - Lilliwaup, WA

With a gorgeous waterfront setting on the shores of Hood Canal, this two-bedroom home offers all the inviting ambience of a plush Pacific Northwest lodge. You'll find beautiful craftsman features throughout, including vaulted ceilings with exposed natural beams, an impressive stone hearth (but please note that the fireplace is not for guest use), richly hued wood cabinetry, and large picture windows that bring in a commanding view of the water. When the weather's fine, you can bring a mug of coffee out to the deck and watch for passing otters in the morning, or follow the staircase down to the water's edge to get an even closer view on the pebble beach. Go for a bracing swim in the cool water, toss your wet swimsuit in the private washer/dryer, and get the gas grill going for a barbecue lunch at the picnic table on the sheltered patio.

In the evenings, you can choose a DVD from the collection to watch on the flatscreen TV and find some extra relaxation in the jetted bathtub. You'll have two bedrooms to choose from - a waterfront room with a queen-size bed and balcony access, and a guest room with two double beds with an en suite bathroom with a jetted tub/shower combination. The second full bathroom with a shower is in the hallway.

What's nearby:
