Great location to enjoy Olympic National Park

I was on my motorcycle visiting Olympic National Park and this was the perfect location to ride Hurricane Ridge. The cottage was cozy, well maintained and clean. It was also well stocked with many nice amenities, more than I needed, but much appreciated. Lisa and Robert are outstanding hosts and I look forward to staying with them again the next time I’m in the area.

The property was beautiful within a quiet neighborhood. The apartment is small but had everything you needed with some fun extras. The hosts are very kind and had a welcome binder that explained expectations. The town had everything needed for food and dining. It is close to the Olympic National Park and may other places to visit.

Gateway to adventures

Not far from the National Park and other outdoor attractions, Lisa's place is very clean. We enjoyed the little outdoor setting after returning from full days of hiking. The weather was perfect so we were able to prepare meals and dine outside.

Great Stay!

We mostly used the BNB to sleep and were off exploring during the day. But it was very clean and the perfect size! There was also a patio area to sit outside that was cute. There were brochures and reading material on the area which was super convenient. We highly recommend!

This was the perfect place to lay our heads after a busy day of adventuring. The hosts were very friendly and helped us with needed information and guidance. They went above and beyond. The cottage had everything that we were afraid to have not packed with us and more. Provided brochures of the area were very helpful for food options and things to do.

Perfect jumping-off point for an Olympic Peninsula Adventure!

We chose this cottage because it looked adorable and it was the perfect location start for any exploration of the Olympic Peninsula. We were only 1.5 miles from the Olympic Discovery Trail and spent our days riding to different locations (Port Angeles one day and Blyn the next). The cottage was very clean and had every amenity we needed. The outdoor area was private and perfect for sitting in the sun in the late afternoon. We will definitely return!

Cozy cottage

Lisa was an amazing host! She provided a lot of recommendations of places to eat and visit. She even provided weather updates as we were arriving. She left out a lot of informative brochures and sent ferry information when I asked. The cottage was nice and quiet, my husband and I slept great after a long day of hiking and adventuring.

Friendly Host, Charming Little Cottage

I rented this place with a friend for our Olympic National Park vacation. This cottage was small, but the perfect amount of space for two to rest their heads after a long day of hiking. We also liked the location, which was quiet but gave us relatively quick access to Port Angeles and the northern entrances to the park. It was clean and well cared for, and the outdoor space was a lovely addition to the property. The host is especially friendly and we received great communication from her. The check in and check out process is no contact, quick, and easy. There was also very little asked of the guests in regards to cleaning upon checkout, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had an amazing stay and would be happy to visit again!

Lisa was an exceptional host. Very helpful and communicative. The cottage was clean and perfect for two. Lisa provided some snacks, coffee and tea. Everything was in pristine condition. Comfy bed and fluffy towels as other reviewers mentioned. Sequim is quite a distance from the west side of Olympic, but we weren’t too bothered as we were heading southwest after our park visit. This was a great spot with an amazing host. Highly recommend. Plan accordingly if you want to be closer to the western part of the park. Thank you, Lisa, for a beautiful place to stay.

Just right!

Really enjoyed my stay at the Owl. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a vacation home that was so well stocked and with such consideration. And because everything is labeled so well, you don’t spend your vacation time hunting for items. The studio may seem small when you enter, but once the curtains are open, the space is very comfortable, bright, efficiently laid out, and has a good vibe. There’s also a real sense of privacy. I loved having my own little yard to soak up the sun and Sequim’s fresh air. And being able to lay down on the bed in the evening and watch the sunset out the windows was amazing. Lisa could not have been more welcoming, kind, and helpful in her communications. I stayed during a reunion weekend of events and it was the perfect home-base for prepping to go, pondering life so far, and reflecting on all the fun during the trip. Thanks, Lisa!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Champion

Host profile image
Four years ago, our family resettled from Anchorage, Alaska and Renton, Washington to bring our beloved mother home from memory care. In searching for a place that mirrored Alaska’s quiet strength and natural beauty, we found ourselves drawn to this special pocket of Sequim.
Here, we have created a haven that nurtures peace, comfort, and connection—a space that supports our family and invites others to feel at home. Hosting guests from around the world has always been a dream of ours, and we are deeply grateful this property allows us to share our corner of the Pacific Northwest with travelers from all walks of life.
We come from a background rich in diversity and have a deep appreciation for every unique story and culture. That spirit shows up throughout the retreat—from the private garden, to the fruit trees and berry plants.
This is more than a place to stay—it is a labor of love, created with intention and care. We feel blessed to welcome you to our peaceful sanctuary and honored to be part of your journey.

Why they chose this property


When we searched for a new home to bring our mother back from memory care, we wanted a place that offered the peaceful feeling of Alaska, yet was close to the conveniences and community activities that nurture family life. This little corner of Sequim instantly felt right—quiet, safe, and beautifully situated between majestic nature and the comforts of town.
Our property sits on a fully fenced one-acre lot, offering privacy and space while remaining just minutes from everything. Whether you are heading to Olympic National Park, exploring local shops, or strolling through Port Angeles, almost every attraction is within 5 to 20 minutes. The proximity gives us the best of both worlds: tranquility at home, adventure around the corner.
We also fell in love with the neighborhood’s welcoming spirit and natural beauty—it inspired us to expand the gardens, plant even more trees, and create pathways full of native plants and fruit trees. It is not just a place to stay—it is a place to breathe.

What makes this property unique

Wise Old Owl Retreat offers guests something rare: a peaceful haven nestled in nature with fast, easy access to every corner of the Olympic Peninsula. The one-acre property is fully fenced for privacy and security, yet centrally located—putting nearly every shop, service, trailhead, and coastal town within 5 to 20 minutes.
But what truly sets this retreat apart is the warm, welcoming energy poured into every detail:
• A garden sanctuary with native plants, fruit trees, and berry bushes.
• Touches like Wine, Philosophy Beauty products, extra toiletries, and towels.
This home was lovingly created to care for family and guests alike—with heart, comfort, and connection at the core. It is not just a place to stay… it's a place to breathe.
