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!

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.

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."

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.

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!

Perfect little cabin for two with an amazing view of the water out the front window. I slept so well on the comfy queen bed. Very homey and comfortable with personal, hospitable touches from the owners who clearly love and care for this property. The hike down to the beach was steep but short and easy to navigate and we were able to walk over to the state park with it's wonderful trails both from the beach and from the street. Amazing how the tiny kitchen had everything we needed, and Dick even brought us some ketchup when we forgot condiments for our hotdogs!

This was an amazingly perfect place to stay! We loved the walk down to the beach, which was covered in sand dollars and purple shells.
