Cozy winter weekend
We stayed at the Captain's Cabin during a frosty arctic chill and it was everything cozy, with great views, and incredibly dog friendly, with dog towels, and dog blankets. We really enjoyed our stay.

A lot to be desired
Communication with the host was challenging. We modified the length of our reservation on-line well in advance of checking in, but after a week, the details of our balance due did not show up. We place a call to Vacasa of Washington and waited for a lengthy time to speak with a representative to clear things up.
The cabin felt neglected.
We reported cleaning issues when we moved in....
Dinner plates were put away with food residues and evidence of mold. A few spoons were put in the drawer with water on them. Old dead flies were left on the window sills in the living room and bedroom. The TV remotes were dirty and sticky.
Other complaints:
There was no internet and no TV when we checked in. It took us a while to locate the problem-the router was unplugged for some reason. All the cutting knives and scissors were dull and needed sharpening. The cleanliness of skillets and kitchen utensils and drinking glasses were suspect-we cleaned everything before we use them. There was a prominent coffee station, but no coffee or tea anywhere to be found. Basket filters were provided, but the unit used cone filters. The coffee pot had used grinds from the previous renter. The dryer vent was very lint clogged under the removable filter. And a fly swatter would have been useful.
I have to admit the management offered to send a cleaning crew to take care of our issues, but we declined the offer. In the end, after checking out, we received a modest discount for our inconveniences.

Relaxing getaway
We had a great time at the cabin. It was so nice to sit outside and look out over the water. The cabin has everything we needed. The bathtub was amazing. If we ever come back to Brinnon, this would be our place.

Weekend Getaway
The location was perfect for doing day hikes. The house itself is just the right size for two people and another couple. The view of the water was amazing with breathtaking sunrises. We brought our dog and was nice to be able to let her run around outside.
We just had a slight complaint with the cleanliness of the house. The general surface area was clean but it could have used a deeper clean. Floor was not clean under bed, tables etc. lots of hair in the main shower along with dirty windowsills and cobwebs. This did not take away from our vacation.
On a side note there are no glass wine glasses and not enough glasses in general if you had more than two people. However there was definitely a full kitchen with supplies.
The town closest had good general bar food but we’re not dog friendly in case you need that for your trip. In hindsight we should have brought food with us and cooked in the house. Thankfully it wasn’t hot out and we could leave our dog in car. The grocery store has all basics but small town price.

Relaxation
We had a lovely time in Brinnon. It's a great location for lots of activities. The house was comfortable and inviting - location was quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed having the firepit and available wood for the evenings. The herons and bald eagles were so fun to watch. Thank you!
(There is a large yellow stain on the upstairs rug). It didn't bother us a bit but just wanted to let you know it didn't happen on our visit.)
I would love to visit again in the future.

Such a gorgeous view and the cabin had everything that was needed. Right down to two twin fawns and their mother who wandered up during my stay. It was so peaceful there. Will definitely return.
