About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Large private retreat

Welcome to the Birds Nest. We are located on 6 private acres. So sit back and enjoy the scenery. Located just 5 minutes up from the Hood Canal. You will be able to take advantage of all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. You will have all 4,000 sq feet of this beautiful custom home all to yourself.

The home has a large open floor plan. Plenty of room for everyone. A kitchen any chef would love to cook in. With 6 bedrooms on the main floor with beds made with comfort in mind… you will no doubt get a great nights sleep. We had fun in mind when we created the bonus room, so be ready to play or sit back and enjoy a movie on the big screen. The outdoors do not disappoint either. With a large outdoor patio, heated above ground pool and fire pit… you will want to spend just as much time outside as you do in. Lots of parking for cars and trailers.

With plenty of indoor and outdoor space, it makes the Nest the perfect place to come together with friends and family.

The owners live on site in the back of the property and do share the driveway. We are here to make your trip the best that it can be. We offer additional services such as grocery pick up and onsite cooking. Please message us for more information.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

Fantastic house

This was our second stay in this lovely house for our annual family trip. The house is terrific with plenty of room for everyone. It’s very clean. The kitchen is amazingly well equipped, and the outdoor areas are a lot of fun for everyone. The upstairs game and TV room is a particular hit with everyone in our family. Thank you Brennan for another lovely stay.

Won't go anywhere else

After staying in the Bird's Nest two years ago, we three families stayed elsewhere last year. At that time we unanimously agreed that we had to come back here this year. This place has everything and more, and is very hard to beat. We had a wonderful, comfortable, and perfect time. The hosts are amazing!

Exceptional multi-family getaway

We can’t speak highly enough of our stay, there was plenty of space for our three families to spread out and enjoy ourselves! Between the pool, playground and upstairs game room, the kids had a blast and were constantly occupied. The kitchen is incredibly well-stocked and there are lots of thoughtful touches throughout the house. We’ll be back for sure!

Annual Family Vacation

Another great family vacation. We stayed during the 4th enjoyed the firework show and hiking trails at the Alderbrook resort. The kids loved playing in the pool, new playground, and feeding the fish. We also enjoyed exploring the parks nearby. Great location and lots to do with family of all ages.

This is our second year staying at the house. We love all the fun activities plus the new upgrades. During the day we visited Twanoh state park and Belfair. Great for oysters and clams. For the colder days the game room and fire pit were great.

Relaxing retreat for all ages

The Bird's Nest is everything advertised and so much more. Breann is a wonderful host and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. From the media room to the pool and play structure, there was something for everyone in our party of 13. The adults were able to rest and recharge while the kiddos ages 5-13 wore themselves out playing outside and exploring. Highly recommend!

The home is all you could imagine and well maintained. It is contemporary and comfortable. The game room/media room is well designed and keeps all the family engaged. The outdoor area is park like and the pool is clean and large enough for family fun. Outside area has several seating arrangements. Owners are very responsive to questions.

Nice big house

15 of us gathered for a celebration, and found the Nest to be very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was large and fully supplied with cooking utensils, and several of us were able to work side by side. The pool was a big hit with the 6 grandkids, and the adults found it nice, as well. The kiddos also liked the bunk room. The owners were right on the property, and were very responsive to questions. We are in the process of getting everybody to commit to a schedule, and will reserve for next summer. Lots to do in the area, but plenty to do on site! Very comfortable place.

House Extraordinaire!!

This house has everything that you would possibly need to gather and celebrate life! We were a family of 22 ( all ages) gathering to celebrate our daughters wedding! So beautiful, so many things to do! The grands were thrilled with the space to run and play outside! And game room extraordinaire! Plus feeding the fish! Comfy spaces for all the couples! And the overall beauty… landscaping and inside the house was so inviting and helpful to provide tranquility when the stress of wedding prep snuck in for a moment or too! The host was the BEST! Would stay again in a heart beat!

Amazing stay!

Three sets of families from Seattle and Portland stayed here, with kids ranging from 18 months to 11 years old. To cut short, we'd definitely like to return again! The house had everything - from great kitchen to game room to backyard. The house is so big, we can add another family next time. We feel so lucky to have found this spot. Highly recommend, but at the same time don't want many people to know because it'd be a competition to reserve this house in the future ;)
