Wild Oyster Lodge on Hood Canal: Breathtaking Water Views, Beach, & Hot tub

Escape in style to the incredible natural beauty and tranquility of the Olympic Peninsula at the Wild Oyster Lodge. This expansive log home, set on high-bank water-front and surrounded by towering pines, provides sweeping views of Hood Canal from its large deck and oversized chef's kitchen. You will enjoy the rugged beauty of the sea and woods from the comfort of this well-appointed, contemporary home with elevated décor and furnishings. It's a perfect jumping off point to explore the Olympic Peninsula.

Wild Oyster Lodge sits on Dabob Bay, a secluded bay on the north Hood Canal, surrounded by protected wilderness and a quarter-mile down the beach from one of Taylor Shellfish's oyster farms. Eagles and seals are your neighbors and the rocky beach (accessible by a long set of stairs, which is quite steep) abounds with fresh oysters. The home is located 15 minutes from Olympic National Park (with Mt. Walker and Canyon Falls trailheads nearby), and the quaint town of Quilcene 10 minutes away. Get out on the pristine waters of Dabob Bay with a pair of kayaks, explore the coastline or make the round trip to nearby Dabob Broad Spit, a boat-access only state park nearby with an incredible 3 story driftwood fort built by campers over decades.

The home has two large bedrooms, a sleeping loft, and bonus room with daybed to provide a comfortable stay for two families or a few groups of friends. The large sunroom and living room provide plenty of space to relax, play games or cozy up near the gas fireplace. One of the highlights of this getaway is the large professional kitchen, with seating for 8, and a granite island for breakfast, oysters or wine tasting. If you prefer outdoor cooking, there is also a Weber gas grill ready for you. Fiber Internet was recently installed, providing super fast speeds to allow for video calls and streaming movies.

Although its seclusion is one of its most unique features, this place may not be for everyone. It's a great place to connect and kick back, but it is intentionally TV- less. The nearby town of Quilcene only offers a few spots to eat and a small but well-supplied market(Quilcene Village Store), so it's recommended to pack groceries before you arrive and take advantage of the indoor/outdoor cooking and dining spaces at The Wild Oyster. The home has 2 outdoor security cameras, a doorbell camera on the front door and a camera monitoring the upper driveway.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

What an amazing location! We were surprised at the quiet privacy of the house and all the wildlife we saw. We were shocked at how plentiful the oysters were. We saw bald eagles, seals, porpoises, and otters. The hot tub was great after days hiking the parks and checking out all the little towns along Hood Canal. The spacious and well appointed kitchen was put to great use preparing the oysters. The fireplace and games were great way to wind down in the evenings. The internet was fine to stream anything we wanted but we mostly just enjoyed all the house had to offer.

Beautiful home. Beautiful location. Very clean home. Hot tub was great. We never left the house since we only had a couple of days. Kayaked to Broad Spit and climbed the fort. Met the oyster farmers nearby and learned so much about the area! It was so much fun and we highly recommend it. I would definitely get there during the day since it's very dark and somewhat remote.

We loved this house. The pictures made it look great but the actual house is even better. The views are incredible, the kitchen is huge and there is so much space.We didn’t really have any issues during our stay. The beach is nice (but it is quite a trek to get down there!)The house is a little difficult to get to, especially at night so keep that in mind when planning arrival timing. I suggest getting there before the sun goes down as it’s a winding, not very lit road to get to the house.

Stunning!

My family stayed here for a week in July. We especially loved the deck with the most relaxing and beautiful views of the bay. The humming birds came to visit every afternoon and you could hear the seals on the beach at night. My kids loved going down to the beach to kayak, find oysters, shells and sand dollars. The oysters are plentiful and very tasty. The kitchen is a dream to cook in. The beds are comfortable. We would stay here again for sure!

This was our second stay here and it was just as great as the first time. The kids loved playing in the basement, the adults loved enjoying a cocktail on the deck, and we all loved kayaking and exploring the beach at low tide. We will definitely be back for a third stay!

Five-day Stay in Complete Privacy

My wife and I and a friend spent nearly a week at Oyster Lodge mostly under completely blue skies and little wind. We enjoyed the privacy, the spa, the commercial gas stove, the huge kitchen, and oystering on the beach. The large propane grill was perfect for cooking oysters in the shell. We also went clamming at the nearby WDFW tidelands near Quilcene. The 100 steps down to the beach were a little challenging, but we all made it on several occasions. The house was very clean except for a sticky area on the floor of the sunroom. I was very pleased with Adam and Erin's responsiveness in retrieving a pair of pants I left behind in our rush to catch a ferry.

Amazing getaway!

This property is exactly as described and we loved our short stay. Some highlights were the amazingly comfortable beds, the daybed in the sunroom, the sunroom overlooking the bay, the hot tub, playing games, foraging for and eating fresh (and grilled) oysters, walks on the beach, seeing bald eagles and seals, kayaking, the kitchen, taking senior pictures in such an incredible location and so much more… cleanliness is a clear priority to this host and that was appreciated. Touches like a basket of towels for the hot tub just made it feel very welcoming and inviting… if you’re considering staying here, stay!!

Sessions-- our song writing retreat

First impression of 'this is exactly what we were looking for' kept ringing true during our visit. The property is described well... it's actually better in real life. The inn is comfortable, inviting throughout, and has plenty of sitting, sleeping, bathrooms and lounging areas. The kitchen is large... and is a joy to cook in. Access to to the beach down the bluff and stairs is good. The hot tub was a peaceful end to our full days. What a treat... for our retreat!

Peaceful and beautiful

Spacious and lovely home. Property is secluded, has a water view and beach access. We spent quite a lot of time on the beach, and hardly saw another person. Large windows throughout the house let in natural light, as well as displaying the views. A bald eagle flew by right at eye level when we were in the sunroom and porch area. The kitchen is huge, and there are vaulted ceilings there and in the main living area. The kids loved the fancy bathroom sinks and the extra features like the tent teepee and games and toys. The hot tub was nice for relaxing in the evenings. If you're looking for a place that is quiet and to disconnect, look no further.

Olympic NP Getaway

We booked the Wild Oyster Lodge as our home base for our annual National Park Trip. We had never been to the PNW and loved everything about the area and the home. The walk down to the beach, kayaking on the Bay, the hot tub and morning coffee on the porch watching the quiet bay was just what we needed. Olympic NP was amazing! We spent some time driving all around, but enjoyed coming home along the winding drive and relaxing as a family. Thank you for great vacation!

A hidden escape from the world

We truly felt like we escaped from the world while we were here- which is just what we wanted! The lake view is breathtaking and the quietness is so calming. There are so many beautiful places to hike as Olympian National Park is just 15-20 minutes away. This is the perfect REMOTE vacation to unplug and escape reality and RELAX! We saw a lot of wild life, including a bear outside my window! I do recommend bringing bear spray or a bear horn however we were fine without one. The cabin was spacious and had mostly everything we needed. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to return to the Oyster Lodge Cabin very soon! 10/10 recommend!
