The house was amazing.

The house we stayed in was beautiful. The beds were very comfortable, all the rooms decorated very nicely. It was easy access to the water and walking distance to Fort Worden. We really hated to leave.

Loved the proximity to North Bech. We have stayed in PT for the month of August several years. Before, we always stayed Up Town & could walk to Down Town. Being close to North Beach was as nice or better.

A Quiet Respite

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised to find this property for the second half of our summer getaway. This quaint cottage has a fenced privacy front and back yard that has eclectic outdoor lighting that is welcomed by each sunset. This cottage sleeps 5 with 2 full bathrooms. The well appointed kitchen is only a few steps away from the laundry room. We thoroughly enjoyed the neighboring bucks during our visit. This was a jewel of a find!

Surrounded by nature

We loved our stay in this quaint, cozy cottage near North Beach. Sitting on the front porch under the big umbrella watching the hummingbirds, songbirds, squirrels, and deer come and go was a daily highlight. The area around the house is fields and trees and very quiet. Beautiful North Beach is very close and there are also many trails nearby. Getting into town is super easy and fast by car. So many things to do and see in town. Communication with the owner, Jennifer, and the local contact person was excellent. They were so helpful and accommodating. We highly recommend this property and we hope to return soon.

North Beach Cottage was a beautiful sunny place, with lovely deck and flower gardens to enjoy. I made bouquets of the pretty flowers, and had them all around the house.It was very clean, and the kitchen and pantry were well stocked with cooking utensils and appliances that as a home cook, I enjoyed having. The deer are protected in Port Townsend, and every day I was greeted by several in the yard and adjacent field. They are totally unfazed by humans and come as close as a few feet away. The communication with the home owners was very responsive, usually immediately, and since they were away on vacation too, I was impressed. Check-in was seamless, and a mid-stay cleaning was provided with the cost of the rental. The location couldn't have been better, as it was a few blocks' walk to the beach, and about a half hour stroll to Centrum, at Fort Worden, which has week- long music and Arts programs all summer long. Those have theme weeks, and there are concerts open to the public during the week. The weather (luckily) was sparkling and cool the whole month. I was glad I brought my winter clothes. It was hard to leave, but my memories are wonderful.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Nellie Donagan house and that you found it as peaceful and 'country' as we do. Port Townsend in summer is lovely. We hope to have you back again!

A wonderful return

We were happy to spend another early summer month at Nellie Donagan House, surrounded by meadows full of songbirds and near to walking trails on 3 sides. The home is comfortable and well-supported by the thoughtful owners and local house and garden staff. For us, the sunny deck and peaceful surroundings are deeply relaxing.

peaceful country home

Nellie Donegan House is a beautifully kept home on the edge of the North Beach neighborhood. The meadows on three sides afford quiet, privacy and a host of birds and local wild life. It is a short walk to endless trails as well as the beach and Fort Worden. It provides lovely space, inside and out for a couple and few friends or a small family. And as someone who has rented properties for many years, I've never encountered such thoughtful owners.

Cozy cottage by North Beach!

We really lucked out finding this cute, cozy little cottage to stay in! It had everything to make for a comfortable stay including Netflix! It was also nice and warm as so often we’ve found the older Victorian homes to be very chilly. Jennifer was kind enough to bring in an extra floor heater for us which was appreciated. We really liked the location as it’s a nice walk to North Beach and the many trails surrounding the area. It’s only 10 minutes from downtown, the Farmers Market, many restaurants and grocery stores. We would not hesitate to stay here again!! It’s very good value for the money and we loved it!!

Quiet, pretty setting, roomy house, walkable neighborhood

We spent a month here in June, and really liked the house. It's nicely decorated, well equipped, and roomy. The neighborhood has a semi-rural feel, and was very quiet. The house is a short walk to North Beach, where you can walk for miles along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It's also a short walk to Fort Worden, which is full of great walking trails, and has a nice pub called Taps and an excellent restaurant called Reveille. We often biked to downtown Port Townsend, which is a wonderful, charming town.

Prepare to Relax!

We loved our stay in this enchanted spot that's just a walk away from the park and beach along the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Fort Worden's walking trails. Also many trail heads to catch just a few steps away from the front door! Very comfortable accommodations with everything you need for up to two couples or a 3rd couple that wouldn't mind sleeping in the living room on a futon. Gourmet kitchen with everything you need to prepare your own meals. We would love to stay there again!
