The best places don’t announce themselves. They exist in sync with their surroundings, waiting to be discovered. This Hood Canal retreat is one of them. Tucked beyond the trees, it watches tides roll in, eagles soar, and whales surface. Remodeled in 2005, it was designed for living, with walls of glass framing water views.The deck extends near the shoreline, while the private beach is perfect for kayaks and paddleboards. The deep-moorage dock awaits. The gourmet kitchen is built for gathering—oysters shucked at the counter, crab fresh from the canal. The primary suite is a retreat, a place to let the world wait. A home theater and hot tub invite slow evenings. The guest house welcomes visitors who come for a weekend and never want to leave.
