Gladwin House, waterfront getaway with hot tub

Enjoy Hood Canal at a charming waterfront getaway. This pleasant spot is the perfect place to make memories with family and friends. Gladwin House is located on the sunny North Shore of Hood Canal, just outside of Belfair, where you can pick up groceries, coffee, pizza and gasoline when needed. New visitors come for the waterfront access and charming interiors; our repeat visitors know that stargazing in the hot tub followed by a nightcap in front of the immense fireplace is the real draw. You may see flocks of waterbirds from the nearby protected wetlands; a heron fishing for dinner; and, of course, still blue waters under Pacific Northwest skies.
The House
A charming log cabin full of character, Gladwin House was built over 100 years ago as part of a logging camp on the shore of Hood Canal. The house has been expanded and upgraded, but it still has that cozy log house feel, complete with hot tub facing the canal and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows.
The Main Room
The relaxing living room has a beautiful view of Hood Canal, as well as a massive wood-burning fireplace made of river stones. The large room also has comfy seating, a flatscreen TV, and a charming daybed by the fireplace.
The Kitchen
The large, fully equipped eat-in kitchen features a huge antique sink, and vintage appliances that have stood the test of time. Ample counter space, a seltzer maker, and a tea and coffee-making station, plus all the pots, pans and utensils make for a sublime cooking experience. Two tables in the kitchen mean that one can be a puzzle and gaming table while the large table can seat the whole gang for meals. 
The Bedrooms
Tio Tom’s Room (sleeps one in a single bed), Main Floor Queen, Second Floor King , and The Family Bedroom (one Queen bed and four single kids beds, stacking if needed). The four cheerful bedrooms ooze charm and comfort. Updated linens, plenty of covers, and plush pillows await.
The Bathrooms
The single bathroom is divided into two rooms for privacy: one with the tub/shower and sink, and one with the toilet. 
Getting Here
Gladwin House is at the end of the Hood Canal, outside of Belfair and a reasonable (1 hour 20 minutes with no traffic) drive from Seattle over the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. 
Activities
In the summer, the water is warm enough to swim and play in when the tide comes in over the tide flats. Put the kayak in the water and explore the Theler Wetlands and Union River Estuary. Take a nature hike, or mountain bike nearby trails, including in Belfair State Park. Relish the quiet and the peaceful, picturesque water views from the expansive deck. At night, you can roast marshmallows over the fire pit and stargaze.
Come wintertime, you can explore the area’s charm, take long walks, and relax in the hot tub and watch the waterbirds flock. Finish up your day with a warm beverage and a good book by the cozy river rock fireplace; there’s a large flatscreen to watch your favorite movies, and plenty of puzzles and board games to enjoy, as well.
We invite you to come and enjoy the serenity at Gladwin House!
