About this property

Darling Mid-Century Cottage in Downtown Poulsbo! Small dogs welcome Walk to town

Welcome to Solveig Stuga!

Newly remodeled 1958 residential home located in Historic Downtown Poulsbo only a 5-minute walk to town. This darling home has been transformed into a mid century modern beauty, with modern conveniences and fun surprises. Features a ramp entrance (no stairs property), a gas range with air fryer, tv in each bedroom, super fast wifi, ample Boat/RV/Trailer parking, and super cozy bedding. There is a creek out back too! Only 20 minutes to/from Kingston and Bainbridge ferries.

Poulsbo is the perfect launching point for the Olympic Peninsula, downtown Seattle, and Kitsap county. It's a 20-minute drive from the Seattle and Kingston ferries. The Port Gamble trail system has miles and miles of trails for mountain biking and hiking. If you love history, check out Port Townsend and Fort Worden with some WWII bunkers. So many directions you could go from Poulsbo!

The space
BOAT & RV PARKING INCLUDED! Bring your boat to Poulsbo and enjoy the beauty of Liberty Bay. There is a boat launch right downtown (2 minute drive!). Use of our private 20-foot slip is available for additional purchase, or you can use he public moorage through the Port of Poulsbo (first come-first serve).

This open and airy little cottage has two bedrooms and one full bathroom. The main space is open concept and provides multiple zones for hanging out, eating, playing games and relaxing with a good book. The kitchen has a gas range, and plenty of cookware for those who want to cook a delicious meal. Although there are so many amazing dining options within a 5-minute walk you don't have to cook if you don't want to! Each cozy room has it's own TV, so you can snuggle in bed and binge your favorite shows - or catch a well-needed nap. There is a hide-a-bed in the living room, however currently I would not advise an adult sleep there - it's NOT comfy. However, smaller kids won't mind it a bit. ;)

There is a front deck where you can sunbathe, or enjoy a meal overlooking territorial views of old-town. You might even peek some views of the bay. Out back is a large patio for entertaining, and a covered area with a BBQ and seating in the shade.

Enjoy this large lot in old-town Poulsbo which is bordered on two sides by historic farmhouses who's farms used to dominate this neighborhood until development in the 1940's. Across the street is one of the original farms in the area with its solid 1925 farmhouse still standing. To the west is the large field leading up to the old Torgeson homestead. Out back, Poulsbo Creek runs through the property where you can relax and enjoy the zen of the creek and the sound of birdsong.

Please let us know if there are details not listed here that would be helpful to know.
Guest access
You will have access to the entire home, yard, driveway which can accommodate 4 vehicles, or a combo of RV, boat trailers, toy haulers, etc. There is no fence so dogs must be on a leash at all times. (Garage is not available for use).
Other things to note
We live just a couple blocks away and will be here to service the property quickly if anything needs to be addressed. We love to meet people so if you would like some "locals" recommendations we are happy to share.

Small, well-behaved dogs are welcome to come and stay for an additional fee. (no kitties). Maximum 2 dogs up to 30 pounds only. Please be good pup owners and don't allow excessive barking, or damage to the property. Please pick up all poops and dispose in the proper trash can.

Poulsbo Gem
This is a very comfortable cottage like stand alone house in a pleasant residential part of Poulsbo. It is easily walkable to the downtown historic area. The house had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. Not fancy schmancy, but a just-right home base for our visit to Kitsap and Bainbridge Island.

Amazing home and location
We loved our stay here. It's a well stocked home, beautiful and comfortably furnished. We loved that it's walkable to downtown and close to parks for our kids. Would highly recommend staying here. We have three small kids and it was perfect for our family. The owners are lovely and kind. One of the mornings during our stay was very cold and they came out to sprinkle salt down on the back stairs the night before just to be sure no one slipped in the morning. We would love to come back and stay again. Such a beautiful area to explore.

Perfect for Walking Around Poulsbo!
We love how easily you can walk to downtown Poulsbo from this charming house. This is the second time we've stayed; it is the perfect size for our family of 3 + small dog. The hosts are always very accommodating and friendly, and the house clean and cozy. We hope to be back again.

About the host

Hosted by Betsy

Host profile image
I'm a mom/wife/musician/sister/friend, born and raised in Washington state. However… Maui is my happy place. The hubs and I can’t resist a remodel, so we are currently converting a school bus into an RV - @side_bustle. I sing in cover bands for fun. I love drinking coffee in the morning, snuggling/hiking with my 2 dogs, playing strategy games and gardening in the sunshine.

Why they chose this property

We remodeled this adorable Poulsbo cottage in 12 weeks, and transformed the space into a Scandinavian mid-century oasis. It's cozy, stylish and close to everything. Walk to dining, breweries, wine tastings, etc. Bring your boat and park the trailer on-site! The public boat launch is 2-minutes away!
