Dabob Bay Cottage

The first thing you'll notice - as you reach our property, on the way to the cottage - are mounds of oyster shells! We cultivate and harvest shellfish right here from the rich, clean waters of Dabob Bay. We first came to the Quilcene area as newlyweds back in 1970, working the oyster beds for Rick's parents (who started and ran Olson Oyster Company... back then). We moved here permanently with our son in 1984, when we bought Olson Oyster Company, keeping the family business alive. When Rick's parents passed, we decided to keep their original home as a vacation rental for our family, friends and guests to enjoy in this tranquil setting, loved by so many. Our cottage and this area represent rustic and simple pleasures, surrounded by the most beautiful region we know. Many of our guests enjoy all of their time right here. Others use our cottage as a base to explore the hundreds of mountain trails in the Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest - just minutes away. There is so much to do and see on the Olympic Peninsula - whether you hike, fish, boat or explore, there are endless pleasures right outside our door. We know you'll enjoy your stay with us and have many pleasant memories of Dabob Bay and throughout this incredible area, from the mountains to the sea. -Julie & Rick OlsonRead More
