The hosts met us at check-in to describe the many amenities and to remind us that they were available to help us. The space was small but functionally efficient. There were many places to relax and hang out with friends. Every place on the property was beautiful with excellent views of the sound. Definitely worth a repeat visit.

The accommodations are on the small side, but the setting and grounds are beautiful. We really enjoyed hikes through Tolmie State Park (just minutes from the property), kayaking in the bay, and chatting with the property owners. The eggs and muffins for the first morning was a nice touch. And overall we were very comfortable. The property sits up on the cliffs; to access the beach you have to walk down a steep path--not really ideal for anyone with bad knees, but for those who are a little more adventurous it was totally fine. Great property!

Beautiful Retreat

We spent two nights in this wonderful cottage. It’s a very nice, well maintained and charming place. The hike down to the beach and along the coast was nice. We didn’t kayak because of the wind and tide times, but that is a nice option.

Puget Cottage

This is the perfect little cottage for two people. It was quiet and peaceful. My husband and I had a relaxing time and our hosts were delightful. The little kitchenette was perfect! It's a nice little jaunt down to the beach from the cottage and you have the best view of Mount Olympic. I couldn't have found a better place to stay, it was honestly just what we needed.

We rented this lovely little home for our son and his girlfriend while they visited over the holidays. We live close by. This gave us another space to visit in. And what a beautiful location!!! The little house was bright and sweet! Comfortable furniture and a breath taking view. They saw an eagle and multiple birds and walked down to the beach. They said the bed was very comfortable and the place had good heating. What a pleasure to meet Dick! Very kind and engaging! Thank you for facilitating great memories!!

This place is so peaceful… we were able to see all kinds of wildlife my favorite was the bald eagle that came right up to a tree about 200’ away it was majestic one downfall I was uneasy going down the path to water for my ankle but felt more confident with the walking sticks they left behind to use Barbara thought of everything you would need and everything had its own place well organized!!

Silent Serenity!

My wife and I have family in the area so this was a perfect location to have our little place of paradise. We were blessed with both beautiful views and wonderful hospitality from Dick and Barbara. Barbara and Dick welcomed us with a clean and organized atmosphere. With attention to details and added amenities like the continental breakfast on the first morning. Our grand kids came for a visit and had a wonderful time on the beachfront! Thank you Dick and Barbara for being apart of our weekend getaway!

Great little gem

Had a wonderful few days. Accommodations were perfect for the two of us. I showed off some serious toaster oven skills and the two burner stovetop was just right! Sweet bonus of eggs and muffins was just perfect! So much to explore. Path to the beach is steep but just take your time and grab one of the walking poles and you will be fine. Would recommend and already have! Thank you!

UNFORGETTABLE

As a couple, my spouse and I have stayed in B&Bs in 45 states. While most of those accommodations were fine, and many were lovely, none come close to this Puget Sound cottage. Where to begin: The view was breathtaking, the grounds impeccably landscaped, and the cottage itself was a small space of perfect design. The owners thought of everything and somehow fit it all in seamlessly. The tiny kitchen was well-stocked, the bed was comfy, there was even great water pressure in the (admittedly small) shower. The owners' sensitivity to the value of little creature comforts--soothing music playing upon arrival, food provisions enough for two breakfasts in the fridge, a goodbye basket on the doorstep upon our departure, complete with snacks and souvenirs--reveals just how deeply invested they are in their guests' TOTAL experience. It is as though caring for this exquisite space, AND for those of us lucky enough to share it for a brief time, is a kind of ministry for them. My spouse and I drove away with great reluctance on our last day, marveling over and over to each other, "We are so lucky."
