The Compass Rose House is one of our 2 separate vacation rental homes on over 10 acres, all with stunning Olympic Mountain views.
These secluded homes offer you a haven to explore all the diversity the Olympic Peninsula has to offer. Roam our lush lupine covered meadows, see Bald Eagles and Blue Heron and have easy access to the Olympic National Park as well as all the city amenities. This is the best of all worlds for a northwest experience.

We enjoy providing our guests with local tips and advice on how to take advantage of all the incredible wonders of the Olympic Peninsula. Providing care and offering help to our guests is immensely rewarding and enjoyable for us.

Why they chose this property
My family had a vision for over 30 years of a family compound where we could live and share a beautiful natural environment. They travelled the Pacific Rim, New Zealand and Canada in search of that place. When they found this place over 10 years ago it felt like they had found our place.
The Olympic Peninsula provides a remarkable natural beauty of almost every sort. We climb mountains and get into areas with pristine glaciers and lakes and see bear and goats and deer, and a huge variety of birds. We love to find waterfalls that few people have found and explore the rainforest mysteries summer and winter. We surf the waves as we explore the beaches which have unusual pinnacles and formations, and we collect driftwood and bask on the white sand. We take our family picnicking on the beautiful clear rivers where they often catch Steelhead or Salmon. Skiing and snowboarding and several winter sports are a big attraction. And always, we make sure visitors get into the exceptional Olympic National Park.

What makes this property unique
What makes this cabin unique?
We take great pride in the home we offer to you with meticulous detail. I designed the Compass Rose House and my family all built it together. Some refer to it as 'elegant camping' since you feel like you are almost out of doors with the openness the home has to all the surroundings. You have all the luxuries for truly comfortable living; excellent beds and linen and great cooking facilities--even the best of organic local herbs.
Our specialty in life has been to enjoy and appreciate nature and to help others have that passion too. And that is witnessed in our lovely property and the beautiful homes we have blended with the natural environment. For those who want privacy, we provide it. For those who want a serene and restorative Northwest experience, we provide that. Our homes are surrounded by meadows, with majestic trees lining the edges and wildflowers. We have tried to make nature available and enjoyable out of every window and from every deck. Our hot tubs are outside so you can view the stars. You can see the Olympic Mountains in all their array from nearly every window. We want to touch people, to leave a lasting memory of enjoyment and rejuvenation, to have an infectious experience that compels them to want to pass on the importance of our natural resources to everyone.
