You are only minutes away from Cameo Boutique & Wine Shop, our historic Dalby Waterwheel, Robin Hood Village Resort, Dos Margaritas, Union Country Store and the Union City Market. Our neighborhood is considered safe and very quiet, but know you have close neighbors on each side of your accommodation. 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, organic gardens and public labyrinth at Harmony Hill Retreat Center, live music, 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. State Route 106 is our main highway in Union, but some side roads are worth mentioning like Dalby Road which takes you to our local bank, gas station and coffee shop. McReavy Road takes you to the city of Shelton where you can find Walmart and larger grocery stores. Our famous Highway 101 heading north takes you to neighboring towns like Hoodsport, Lilliwaup and Hama Hama. Please use extra caution when exiting from your driveway, State Route 106 can be very busy during peak summer and fall months. You have one uncovered private (away from the road) parking spot. -DUE TO OUR SEPTIC NO EXTRA GUESTS ARE ALLOWED - please be mindful and only flush toilet paper in our toilets. -Keep kayaks locked up at the beach (see Kerry for code) - due to weather and the fluctuating tides kayaks can easily blow off and floating away so it is important to return the kayaks back to where we store and lock them up (LEFT SIDE OF THE BEACH, LOOK FOR THE CEMENT ANCHOR) Please be sure to bring wood if you plan to use the waterfront fire pit as it is not provided. Or you can purchase some at the local Chevron gas station off of Dalby Road (only a couple miles away).
