Poulsbo's Waterfront Lodge · Puzzle Point

Summary:

Perched on Hood Cannal with 180° water views and a private beach path, this 3000 sq ft lodge sleeps 10 across 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

✔Freshly updated in Spring 2026: new roof, new double-pane windows, new fireplace & new flooring

✔Quiet and peaceful — the attached unit is vacant

✔Fully equipped kitchen — cookware & bakeware

✔Game room/library

✔Master suite with private deck

✔BBQ and outdoor dining deck

✔Up to 2 pets welcome



The Space:

Cedar walls, a stone fireplace, and picture windows that put Hood Cannal front and center — this is the kind of place where you lose track of time.



Ground Floor

✔ Living room — stone fireplace, two sleeper sofas, Smart TV, and water views wide enough to watch the tide shift; seals occasionally drift past

✔ Kitchen — full appliances, generous counter space, and everything you need to cook a real meal; the 8-person dining table opens to the deck for dinner with a view

✔ Deck — BBQ, outdoor dining, and an unobstructed sightline to the Olympics; a private path leads down to the beach

✔ Primary suite — queen bed, ensuite bath, fireplace, and a private deck where mornings feel earned

✔ Second bedroom — queen bed, quiet and comfortable

✔ Third bedroom — twin-over-full bunk, ideal for kids or flexible groups

✔ Full bath + half bath rounding out the floor

✔ Laundry room



Upper Floor

✔ Game room/library — the go-to for rainy afternoons or late-night card games with the family



Outdoor Space

Settle into the calm rhythm of waterfront living. Lounge on the deck, dine alfresco, or wander down to the beach below. Watch eagles glide overhead, launch a kayak as the sun sets, and let this space connect you to the water's edge.



Guest Access:

Guests have full access to the entire home. Parking is available at the property.



The Neighborhood:

Port Gamble is practically at your doorstep, with downtown Poulsbo just minutes beyond.

✔ Port Gamble General Store & Café — 0.8 miles, Victorian-era store with sandwiches, baked goods, espresso, and 16 flavors of ice cream

✔ Butcher & Baker Provisions — steps from the General Store, local meats, provisions, and fresh baked goods

✔ Dahlia Cove Studio & Afternoon Tea House — right in Port Gamble, a charming spot for afternoon tea

✔ Olympic Outdoor Center — kayak and paddleboard rentals on Port Gamble Bay, plus guided sea kayaking tours of Hood Canal

✔ Town & Country Market — 10 min toward Poulsbo, full-service local grocery with organic options

✔ Safeway — 10 min, everyday essentials on 10th Ave NE

✔ Muriel Iverson Williams Waterfront Park — 10 min, boardwalk along Liberty Bay with Olympic Mountain views

✔ State 42 Wines — cozy tasting room on Front Street in downtown Poulsbo

✔ Poulsbo Wilderness Trail — easy loop through old-growth evergreens along Dogfish Creek



Getting Around:

A car gets you everywhere here. Poulsbo's waterfront and "Little Norway" shops are about 10 minutes away; the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal is roughly 40 miles south — worth the trip for a day in Seattle.



Other Things to Note:

1- The home shares a wall with an attached owner's suite that has its own private entrance. Your rental is fully self-contained and private, with no shared interior spaces. The owners are quiet and respectful neighbors, though as with any attached home, occasional everyday sounds may carry between the two spaces. They also have a friendly dog you may hear from time to time

2- Driveway parking is available for up to 4 cars. Please do not park on the right side marked “Reserved for Caretaker.”

3- The upstairs game room/library features a low railing. For safety, parents must supervise children at all times when using this area.

4- Pets are welcome — up to 2 pets with a $150 per pet fee (or $300 total for two).

5- Like any nature-forward waterfront retreat, you may encounter the occasional insect or small critter — keeping doors and windows closed goes a long way.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property was very relaxing, spacious with lots of amenities. The view of the sound was nothing short of amazing and tranquil. We used the rubber boots on site to go walk during low tide which was fun. So much sea life. The selection of movies was extensive. The puzzles on the walls were really cool and unique.
