    Upon turning into Tekiu Rd which winds down to the shore of Hood Canal, one enters a different world of old growth cedar and fir and passing under the quaint gate house, the transformation is complete. The Willcox House (I think built in the 1930's) is similiar to a Frank Lloyd Wright in style, but with its own unique aesthetic features that one gradually and pleasantly becomes aware of. Although the weather was dismal during our visit the view was still stunning, sometimes almost mystical like as the low-lying clouds and subdued light constantly changed. Cecilia and Phillip Hughes are friendly but low key and most relaxing hosts. The afternoon wine and cheese servings were generous, perhaps impinging on our dinner appetite a bit, but that is hardly our hosts' fault. The hazelnut encrusted salmon had a good flavor but was a little dry for my taste. The morning fruit plate and apple french toast were really excellent. We stayed in the Clark Gable room, which has the best view. It would seem that Cecilia must have had the final say in decorating this room as it looks a bit too feminine for the likes of Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Ernest Hemingway, etc. But wives will love it. Mine sure did. We are not as seasoned travelers as some, but for whatever it is worth, the Willcox House is the most tranquil, beautiful and contemplative place we have ever stayed.
