Very cozy, comfortable, and well appointed. This property is perfect for a couple or two, or a single family. Small but also surprisingly spacious. Very well stocked kitchen!
Excellent property !!! Clean and well kept , plenty of parking space, fire pit with firewood , nice deck area and the extra amenities such as the pavilion and cooking area was very nice. The laundry room ,freezers and fish vacuum sealers were perfect !!! Highly recommended. We will return.
This was the second stop on our trip. The studio provided plenty of room for three adults. Included amenities were perfect for storing frozen halibut and processing the salmon we caught in the local area. The shared outdoor grill area was another great benefit of this place. The location was beautiful, peaceful, and provided a central location for all the places we went.
Everything was great. Clean cabin. Comfortable. Quiet neighborhood. Centrally located to all fishing and all other Peninsula activities/towns. Two of the owners were there staying on a fishing trip at the same time and were helpful with questions about the the area. All amenities needed were there. Only hiccup was that the on demand hot water heater would decide for itself when there was a demand, but we made it work.

Beds are comfortable, check in was a breeze. Could use help in the kitchen department. No peeler, serving bowls, pans never used they were so bad!! Teflon was coming off. Stairs going up to loft are very steep. Never was vacuumed and candy wrappers were on the floor. Downstairs living room under chairs were disgusting, hair, dust looked like it had been there for a while! Water softener had no salt so first two nights listened to the alarm going off. Justin was responsive and came and filled it the next day. Bathroom floor is soft leaking water from somewhere. Justin came to look at it, said it was nothing he could do. House had an odor. And it’s not steps away from river like it says and looks like from picture. It’s down the road. Which would recommend, we had the best luck there. Freezers were a great thing to have!
