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 park nearby.

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.

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 and the wifi is not very fast (good enough for email, but not great for zoom calls or streaming video). The nearby town of Quilcene only offers a few spots to eat and a small but well-supplied market, 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.

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!!

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!

Incredible, peaceful get-away
This place is truly a gem. I loved every minute and every nook and cranny it had to offer: the hot tub, the giant kitchen, the fireplace room, the sun room, the comfy beds, the outdoor space, the stairs to the beach. Nothing short of magical, restorative and exactly what I needed.

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!

Brotherhood Retreat
3 old friends spent a relaxing 3 days on the canal at Wild Oyster. The cabin has a spacious, well equipped kitchen. The beds were comfortable. The views are great. We enjoyed the hot tub and the privacy of the location. If you are looking for a private getaway on the canal this place will serve you well.

Stunning property and location
What a phenomenal vacation property! We kayaked with seals, watched porpoises from the deck overlooking the bay, cooked in the amazing kitchen, and spent hours exploring the beach and watching wildlife. It was the perfect home base for exploring the Olympic peninsula. The hosts were extremely responsive and amazing. It was everything we could have hoped for and more!

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.
