Golden opportunity to stay in one of Hood Canal's original estates! Built in 1930 on acreage chosen for its beauty, vistas and the protected waters of Calm Cove. Situated across the street from its own private beach! Relax on the covered porch, gather around the 90-year-old fireplace, birdwatch in the surrounding woods and fields. Just a short distance to Alderbrook Resort or Downtown Union. A truly unique experience that is not soon to be forgotten.

The space
As much as we love pets, this beautiful historic home has a strict no pet policy. We only accept up to 4 registered adult guests. Thank you and we wish you the most pleasurable stay on Hood Canal!

The Lodge is best known for its rustic logs creating a very cozy feel for up to two couples. Gather around the 90 year old epic fireplace while sipping on wine and reconnecting. The deck is a focal point allowing you to relax, dine outside or swing on the chair with your loved ones. Stroll throughout the property's acreage and capture the beauty of birds, deer and plantlife. Walk across the street to find your own private beach access to read, unwind, picnic, sunbathe and swim.

Favorite things to do while staying here:

-Enjoy a Hood Canal getaway no matter what the weather is like!

-Enjoy the action of the community.

-Only minutes away from Alderbrook Resort & Spa, Robin Hood Restaurant & Pub (with its live music venue), Alderbrook Golf Course, Union Country Store, Union City Market and much more. We have a full kitchen and propane barbecue for you to prepare meals and gather after a full day of fun.

-Launch your boat at the Hood Canal Marina located only 1 mile away (fishing, shrimping, or just fun on your boat visiting Hoodsport, Tahuya, the Resort and more!). We have space to park your trailer.

Guest access
Living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms upstairs (third upstairs room is not available), bathroom upstairs and downstairs, laundry room, full yard (back and front), meadow area plus beach access across the street.

A wing of this house is not included and is marked by signs. No one is in this space when booked by guests; so rest assured you have the home to yourselves.

Lodge is apart of a larger compound - with NO shared spaces with studio guests. To your left, beyond a mature and large hedge is Woodside and across the street is their associated beach. Across the road and beyond another mature and large hedge there is a large dock and associated studio - Dockside. Please be mindful to utilize your respective beach directly across from Lodge’s driveway. Each space has been thoughtfully appointed and associated spaces to offer each guest privacy during their stay.

Housekeeping may need to access the larger garbage and recycle stored at sport court and the laundry space behind Woodside. If there were an ongoing stay at Woodside they would walk up the Lodge’s driveway to access this (so not to walk directly in front of the studios doorway). On the rare occurrence this would take place it would ONLY be during checkout/in hours of 11:00am/3:00pm.

Neighborhood highlights

Remember adventure? Visit Union Washington and rediscover the outdoors, take in the sunsets over the mountains in the neighboring Olympic National Park, where Mt. Washington, Mt. Constance, and the Brothers rise across Hood Canal forming a breathtaking vista from almost any point in Union. It's no wonder that Union holds the title of the first artist colony in Washington. Enjoy live music throughout the neighborhood nearly every day of the week.

Current attractions include working farms and roadside markets, the world-class Alderbrook golf course and clubhouse open to the public, Hood Canal Marina and public boat launch, the four-star spa and lodge Alderbrook Resort, award winning shopping at the Cameo Boutique & Wine Shop, organic gardens and public labyrinth at Harmony Hill Retreat Center, and of course, the deep saltwater fjord of Hood Canal.

Today, visitors come for summers of sunshine and shellfish, and the annual return of the salmon. As well as the introspection of winter, to watch the herons out on the docks, motionless at high tide. There is always a wide variety of arts activities, as well as boating, fishing, hunting, shellfishing, hiking, kayaking and birding in Union.
