Our second time staying at this cottage was just as delightful as the first. My favorite thing is that It's so quiet and peaceful (except for the evening congregation of geese (ducks?) which is a bit raucous but they settle down pretty quickly and we think they're amusing). The location seems isolated but it's only 5 minutes to our favorite restaurants, The Dockside at the John Wayne Marina and Tedesco's Italian Fresh in downtown Sequim. My husband says the Cedars at Dungeness, 10 minutes away, is a great golf course (but we don't recommend the restaurant there.)

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent return trip to this peaceful sanctuary. Everything in this well-appointed cottage made it easy to enjoy the natural beauty of this environment. Our host was a proactive and responsive communicator as usual, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout this spotless space. Looking forward to returning in the future!

This was our 4th or 5th time here. To our minds, there’s no better lodging location. Coffee on the deck as the sun is about to rise over the Cascades, with Mt Baker, the Strait, Protection Island and the San Juan Islands all visible, is indescribably beautiful and relaxing. The grounds are manicured to the nines and the shorebirds are raucously entertaining. Tidal flows in the lagoon add to the beauty. There’s only one lagoon house with big water views. Close by to a county park, and numerous hiking trails (Dungeness River, Dungeness Spit, Miller Peninsula State Park, Point Wilson Light) are a short-moderate drive. This place is a one-off. Don’t miss it.

We would like to rate this place 1 star so that it is available more often :-) but that wouldn't be fair to Deborah who is an outstanding host! We are repeat visitors to the lagoon and had another exceptional stay and the massive blooming lilac in early May made it extra special. Highly recommended!

A deeply peaceful location--very quiet--with a wonderful view of a lagoon in a wildlife refuge. And the bungalow was very comfortable and clean with pleasing decor.

We love staying here! This was our second visit! The house is immaculately maintained. Just about everything is perfect! Can’t say enough good things! Great linen, wonderful kitchen, great coffee maker, and fabulous view! Our favorite pastime is sitting on the deck watching the birds and boats! So quiet and relaxing! The best!

The cottage was a dream to stay in. It was clean and so cozy. My dogs loved the yard and falling asleep to the sound of frogs croaking then waking to the birds singing and the sound of the water was heavenly. If I could bottle the feeling of serenity we left with, I'd never have to work again in my life. Absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants to add a little bit of peace to their lives. And the host was wonderful too!!!
