Absolutely beautiful property and home. We stayed there for a family reunion and the house was perfect, very spacious and the host Rick was responsive, and extremely helpful with our questions (He even dropped off a case of bottled water for our crew). We will definitely stay here again if we are back up in that area.
House met all our needs , great outdoor space, screened in porch etc. Owner was available and responsive to one minor request. Highly recommend this location.
Multiple amenities! So sorry we didn’t have enough time there to truly appreciate them all. We hope to make it back someday and spend more time, Love this property!
My sister and I and our families stayed here for 4 nights while in the area for a wedding. We enjoyed the quiet location and the house worked for our party of 9 teens-adults exceedingly well. Everyone had a comfortable bed to sleep in and the large kitchen area, multi-level living and various sitting areas accommodated everyone.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house had more than enough space for our family. We enjoyed our evenings by the water lounging by the light is the fire table. The kitchen was large enough for family meals. It was also a nice central location between seattle and olympic national park. The host was very welcoming and accommodating. I would highly recommend staying here for a family vacation. Norhing but great things to say!

Relaxing Weekend
We greatly enjoyed our stay. The host was very helpful to accommodate our requests. The home is very new and has a ton of cool features. The property was nice and snowy, tons of birds to see. We’ll probably come back in the summer!
What a fantastic place to stay! From the custom cedar doors to the fantastic views of Hood Canal and Mt. Rainier, this glorious home has it all. There is ample room for the whole family and the entertainment room downstairs is great! Well stocked kitchen. Outdoor areas add additional space. We enjoyed our time here.

Lots of room
We were visiting from Minnesota for an extended family vacation. The house was perfect with more than enough space for our group. There were lots of seating areas with great views outside as well. The house was very clean and had lots of amenities. The host was very welcoming and accessible if needed. Although we had no issues. We would highly recommend this rental to others. We had a wonderful time.
Gorgous property and home. Absolutely loved the wetlands in the back, watching the tides change the landscape and all the wildlife around (though mostly hidden). The covered porch was my favorite! Could have used a couple more basic baking pans, but besides that, everything was stocked. Would love some arrangement with the neighbors nearby for access to the water that was so close- but what can you do when neighbors don't want to share- and it wasnt' too far to public access. Loved this stay!

Awesome Family time
What a incredible place. So quite and peaceful.Seen bald eagles in our own inlet fishing.I highly recommend. Lots of really cool history.Port Gamble just a skip away was incredible.Thank you Rick for the Chowda. I have never tastedany better, That is no Exaggeration.Thank you again.
The pictures don’t do this place justice. We loved our stay here and the host was kind and flexible. I got married in Port Townsend which was just a quick drive. This accommodated all of the people staying with us, gave us beautiful views, and a nice place to get ready. Would stay again. We will say that it was a little dirty, some dishes aren’t cleaned fully and a couple of the toilets weren’t the cleanest, dirty corners on the floor. The beds were comfy and clean.
