Rick has had 100% 5 star reviews for more than 2 years. Disregard this review based on a couple of issues out of his control and be assured that if you stay at Rick’s Place you will have a 5-star stay. Here’s what a few recent guests had to say about their stay with Rick:
“Rick is the host with the most!”
“Rick’s Place is the standard by which all other BnB stays will be judged.”
“Rick is a wonderful host and a lovely man. He is a very good communicator and responsive to texts/calls at any time. He is also very knowledgeable about the area and is willing to provide excellent guidance regarding Port Angeles and Olympic National Park. The apartment is in a great location, extremely clean, comfortable and spacious! He provided lovely amenities including breakfast items, DVDs and games. We would stay again in a heartbeat!”
Rick was very accommodating and very informative about things to do during our stay.
Great location to Olympic national park.
Lots of space and VERY clean.
Would definitely stay again!
Rick’s Place is ideally located for exploration of the northern Olympic Peninsula and for a day trip to Victoria. Nicely outfitted and very welcoming. We enjoyed our stay.
Rick was a great host. He gave quick responses and helpful advice. Great location, nice neighborhood. Accommodations were well kept and clean - worked well for us.
An amazing place! The decorations and amenities are superb! Rick is such a hospitable and considerate host! It is the best place to stay in Port Ángeles.
Rick is the perfect host and has thought of every little thing that you might need.He is very kind and accommodating person.The location is great, with a beautiful garden. The suite is comfortable and cozy and met all my needs. Bravo to Rick!
Rick, the property owner, maintains the property well. He provided useful information about Olympic National Park before our departure, which greatly assisted in planning our visit. My spouse and I had a comfortable stay.
The property and the host were exceptional. A thorough walk through upon arrival gave us the information required to make our stay enjoyable and worry free. This property gave us the opportunity to explore the park and Port Angeles at our own pace with a warm, comfortable abode to rest and rejuvenate each day.
Rick is an Outstanding host - helpful, friendly, and very willing to share his extensive knowledge of the area. The house is clean, quiet, nicely furnished, and well equipped with everything needed for an enjoyable stay, in a safe and scenic neighborhood. My bestie and I both heartily recommend Rick's Place and will gladly stay with him again in the future!
Great stay. Amazing host. Private and SO clean! Didn’t miss a kitchen sink at all and we cooked the whole week! Wish I had Rick at home to do all my dishes😊. I recommend this property to anyone visiting the Olympic Peninsula/National Park.
Rick was very hospitable and refilled the fruits each day so we could hot the parks right away in the morning. The neighborhood is quiet and very nice. The location is great of you are trying to go to Olympic and the view is spectacular.
Rick is an accommodating and thoughtful host. This was my third stay and everytime the house is stocked with milk, cereal, fruit, coffee, etc. We will be back again.
Rick goes out of his way to make you feel at home. It is well kept and a great location. While walking around the neighborhood I found the Fine Arts Center with a wooded trail full of interesting sculptures and art everywhere I looked. I highly recommend this place.
Rick was an amazing host. Rick provided us with great information re: local attractions & eateries. Home is well maintained & close distance to Hurricane Ridge, Marion Falls &
Whale Watching opportunities. So much to do
, so little time. Rick is the most helpful & gracious host we have encountered in our travels. Highly recommend staying at Rick’s Place.

Thanks Elvia. Very much appreciated your excellent review. You two are my favorite guests. Both very interesting, very nice, and you are so energetic and you're obviously a real go-getter. I've never hosted anyone like you two. I really appreciated the invite to enjoy some time together. All the best. Rick
We spent 3 nights at Rick’s place. Very clean and comfortable. Everything was perfect with some nice extras to include breakfast cereal, milk, coffee fruit and snacks. Rick is very nice and very helpful. Highly recommend!
This is an entire two bedroom apartment with a separate entrance, all on street level. Rick was present to show us the initial details and give us all the park tips we needed. Rick supplied cereals and breads and coffee for breakfastas well as coffee. This was quite a find and Rick was the perfect host.
Rick was a lovely host. This was my second time staying in his property. I visit my daughter and granddaughter a few times a year. This home allows space for both to stay if they wish. Plenty of games for my granddaughter.
I will stay here again!
Rick's Place was great for us and our 13 year old granddaughter (she had her own bedroom) for us to explore Hurricane Ridge, the Sol Duc waterfalls, kayaking at Freshwater Bay, whale watching out of Port Angeles, and taking the ferry for a day in Victoria, Canada! Breakfast fixings awaited us and used dishes magically got taken care of. A great stack of family games we enjoyed in the evening.
This is the lower half of a split-level house with generous space, a comfortable bathroom, beautifully appointed and with a lovely garden and outdoor picnic options. The host makes the snack area comfortable and well stocked pantry and fridge. He stocks the kitchen with ample information about attractions, and is happy to help with information. The beds and space are ultra comfy and the decor reflects the beauty of the area.

About the host
Hosted by Rick Furniss
I went to Alaska after graduating from the University of Idaho with a degree in Fish & Wildlife Management. There I worked 10 years as a fish biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish & Game after which I resigned to pursue my dream of being a bush pilot, encouraged by Jay Hammond for whom I had worked and who later became Governor of Alaska. I bought a plane, learned to fly in it, started a small air charter service and owned and operated fly-in wilderness camps. I owned and operated a 37 room motel on the Alaska Highway for many years. I have had a long career serving the public, both in my motel business and in my fly-in wilderness camps. My passion is fish and fishing.
Why they chose this property
Quiet, high-end neighborhood, convenient location. Beautiful home and property.
What makes this property unique
Large comfortable suite with fire place, other great amenities and a place to prepare and cook basic meals all with a personal Concierge (your host who is available 24/7) to provide tourism info, answer questions and provide support.
A beautiful courtyard with picnic table is located in front of the entrance door.
New kitchen sink, countertop, dishwasher and cupboards.
