Highly recommended! We spent 4 nights relaxing and exploring the Sequim area. Great place in a great location right on the lagoon and close to town. The cabin has everything -- a great kitchen with everything needed for meals, great deck for relaxing while watching the bird life, great sunroom for when the temperatures drop, great bedrooms, and great privacy. Oh, and a great, friendly owner. The very high guest ratings are well deserved.

We had a truly lovely stay. I'm afraid to say much positive things as bookings can be hard to get and we want the place to ourselves, eh.There were so many bonuses like hummingbirds constantly feeding in front of the main windows. An eagle couple bathed then perched on a bare tree nearby. And the blackberries! The home was well appointed, everything was spot on. I especially liked the hot water on tap, instant chocolate or chai. It's a really sweet cottage!

Quiet, peaceful, dog friendly

Perfect place for a quiet retreat. The house is perches on a sloped vast yard that gave our dog lots of freedom to stretch his legs. An attached solarium is a great place to soak in the view when it is chilly out. Beautiful sunrise and sunset. Easy checkin with host. Great access to town and coastline. Wish we had the foresight to plan for a longer stay

This home and property are fantastic. Private setting yet close to town with all the comforts of home. Our dog loved the freedom to get some exercise. Views unbeatable, great dog park just down the road, discovery trail very close. Wife and I have decided to make this a regular get away!!

Charming Cottage Review

This was our second stay and the second visit and it did not disappoint. Our goal was to kick back and just relax. That is exactly what we did. We enjoyed the beautiful view and abundant wildlife. The house was perfect for us; cozy and comfy. The nearby town of Sequim has all the amenities needed for a fulfilling vacation.

Exceptional cottage in magical setting

This was the second time we stayed at this wonderful place. The cottage itself is so comfortable with everything you can possibly need. Extremely clean. Huge yard and the setting on the inlet is private and beautiful. We were entertained by all the bird life, especially the eagle pair. Deborah is a wonderful host.

Cozy sanctuary

The cottage is well appointed and immaculate, and the natural setting is stunning. From the cozy sunroom we loved watching as the light and colors slowly changed throughout the day across the peaceful bay. Deborah’s a great host; her responses were always prompt, pleasant and professional. We had a restful respite and look forward to returning here in the future!

We love to cook and found the kitchen to be well appointed. It had everything we needed! The beds were comfortable and the place was very clean.
