Quiet respite

Carls home was exactly what we needed. We were in town for a family members funeral and estate settling. This was an emotional time and Carl’s kindness with adjusting days was so truly appreciated. His communication was perfect. The home was exactly what we needed during our down time. The window seat and porch along with deck were where we spent most of our time. The woodwork is amazing. The house was plenty big enough for our 6 adults. Plenty of linens, fully stocked kitchen and extra blankets for those chilly mornings on the porch:) Thank you Carl!

Fabulous family forest getaway

This property was absolutely beautiful. Cozy and relaxing to hang out in together, eat late breakfasts, and play games. It's definitely out in the woods, but that added to the charm and the atmosphere. I'm a pillow hog and there were plenty for everyone, and I wish I could have spent more time in that window seat- it was such a perfect cozy nook. It would be an awesome house to come back to for a week of reading, relaxing, and art.

Beautiful and Comfortable

We had a family wedding to attend in Kingston and this home was perfect for us. It was so comfortable with enough space for all of us to spread out. The covered porches were great to still be able to enjoy the outside but stay dry since it rained most of the weekend. There was everything we needed and more, I didn’t want to leave!

Cozy home in the woods!

Our family trip “home” to the Seattle area with an elderly parent was made much easier by staying in this home! Not only was it easy to cook and enjoy the local sights, but we had plenty of fun games to keep us occupied during down time (our go to was the cornhole!) The space is very family friendly, with a single floor living option on the first floor if anyone in your group has trouble with stairs. Apple Maps had no problem finding the location, and the host was prompt and available as needed / if needed. Our only disappointments were that the master bedroom has a queen bed and not a king bed (I didn’t read the details closely enough, it’s listed correctly!) and that we didn’t end up with time to have a fire outside! We had fabulous weather so the outdoor decks and spaces were put to great use. Oh - and I wish the top viewing floor was available to use; but the balcony on the second floor was still a great “hang out” and morning yoga spot. We’d definitely stay again!

Better than the photos

This is a great house for a family stay. Remote and small road to get into, but worth it if you desire somewhere with the feel of being in the middle of nowhere with amenities within 15 minutes. Poulsbo is a picturesque town with dining and shopping options. This house's photos don't really do it justice!

Perfect

We attended a wedding in Kingston. We bought fresh fish and cooked it on the grill, played cornhole, drank wine, and had a wonderful time. The kitchen was unusually well appointed. I have used many VRBOs. This was absolutely one of the nicest. Quiet, and surprisingly well located for exploring Port Gamble, Port Townsend, even Bainbridge Island over to Seattle.

Extraordinary Craftsmanship

The woodworking throughout this house is extraordinary. It looks like a finish carpenter’s labor of love. Even the lamps are hand-made. Be aware that the house is down a 3/4 mile long gravel road - your car will get dusty. Also, not all the neighbors keep their places as spotless as our host’s place.

Well Maintained and Supplied

The home provided ample space throughout and it was well supplied with all the household items one needed. We were on the go so much we didn't have the opportunity to take advantage of the outdoor games, but did enjoy a campfire in the back one night. As the property is about .8 mile off the main road, the serene and quiet environment lent to a relaxing stay. Carl was quick to respond to any communication sent his way. Thank you, Carl, for providing a clean and beautiful home.

Wonderful quiet family trip.

We came out here and had 6 adults. This home is everything it says it is and more. Perfectly stocked kitchen with almost anything you can think of, beautiful property with amazing views. The owners' dog Roscoe came down several times a day to visit with us, which was really awesome and helped me with missing my own pups. We bought him some dog treats and he knew which one of us is the softie (me of course). Very remote and perfect for us! Will stay here again if we come back to Washington!

Wonderful Stay

We had a peaceful weekend getaway with family. Plenty of room to spread out. The bedrooms were comfortable, everything was clean and tidy. I few of us love to cook, and we found the kitchen well stocked. I didn’t need my own favorite knife for meal prep- the owners had great kitchen tools, pots and pans. Enough room for my two teenage nephews to toss a football in the yard. I highly recommend this property. Thanks for a rejuvenating stay!
