About the host
Hosted by Margie Osterbauer
Hi, we're Stan & Margie Osterbauer. We have lived in Sequim for over 20 years. Stan is a Systems Analyst (glorified computer programmer), and Margie ran a daycare center in what is now the Garden Room. Stan is originally from the Los Angeles area, and Margie hails from Colfax, WA. We have 23 grandkids scattered over the Pacific Northwest. We converted the daycare playroom into the Garden Room studio vacation rental. It's been fun setting it up and making it cozy and beautiful. We hope you book it soon and enjoy your stay. We look forward to meeting you!
Why they chose this property
We originally came to Sequim for the spectacular beauty of the North Olympic Peninsula, and the 'Rain-shadow' effect. Sequim gets just 17 in. of rain per yer (about like L.A.). The gorgeous mountain views are what first drew us to plant ourselves on this lovely acre. It has since grown to be what our grandkids call 'Grammie's Park'. See for yourself!
What makes this property unique
The Garden Room is comfy, cozy, beautiful, and very close to all the attractions you come to Sequim and the Olympic Peninsula for. It has all the comforts of home in a gorgeous location, at a very affordable price!
