We would like to rate this place 1 star so that it is available more often :-) but that wouldn't be fair to Deborah who is an outstanding host! We are repeat visitors to the lagoon and had another exceptional stay and the massive blooming lilac in early May made it extra special. Highly recommended!

We love staying here! This was our second visit! The house is immaculately maintained. Just about everything is perfect! Can’t say enough good things! Great linen, wonderful kitchen, great coffee maker, and fabulous view! Our favorite pastime is sitting on the deck watching the birds and boats! So quiet and relaxing! The best!

The cottage was a dream to stay in. It was clean and so cozy. My dogs loved the yard and falling asleep to the sound of frogs croaking then waking to the birds singing and the sound of the water was heavenly. If I could bottle the feeling of serenity we left with, I'd never have to work again in my life. Absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants to add a little bit of peace to their lives. And the host was wonderful too!!!

Our time in this charming cottage was beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely return for another stay. Deborah was very kind and friendly and communicated immediately when any questions. The scenery was so beautiful, the house was comfy and clean and beds were also comfy. The cottage was decorated very nicely and felt very homie.

We absolutely loved this exquisite little cottage!!The sunroom is by far the highlight—easily the best room in the house. It offered a peaceful retreat where we spent hours watching hummingbirds. The kitchen is beautifully equipped with high-quality dishes, pots, and pans, making meal preparation a pleasure. The towels are plush, generous in size, and wonderfully fresh.The cottage is impeccably clean and very well maintained. The only thing we would change is the length of our stay—we truly wish we could have remained longer. This property is a solid 10 out of 10.We followed the hosts’ restaurant recommendations and were delighted with every dining experience. We also enjoyed a lovely hike to the nearby deserted island. The cottage far exceeded our expectations in every way.Beautiful flowers surround the property, adding to its charm and making it a truly special place. We highly recommend it and hope to return soon.

Calling this property “a little piece of heaven “ would not be an exaggeration. Secluded, quiet, private, super clean, well-maintained, indeed “charming “. Even though it drizzled off and on while we were there, which the northwest is wont to do in May, we were very content sitting in the sunroom, watching the birds outside past the long expanse of lawn that extends down to the water. Really the only time we left the cottage was to go into town and get food. There are lots of great options for a food, even gluten-free food. We went to Saturday market on Saturday and met some really nice, friendly folks. We will definitely go there again. The 5 Hour Dr. was well worth it.

We stayed one month at the Cottage during the winter and although the amount of sun on the property was at its lowest, we absolutely enjoyed everything about it! The house is very comfortable with everything we needed, the property is an expansive lawn with some beautiful trees here and there overlooking a large tidal lagoon with spectacular views and a special location that is quiet, privacy and yet not far from town at all!

We had a wonderful stay with our dog Mika. Enjoyed having a nice cup of tea in the sunroom after taking several long walks in the Sequim area each day. The view was lovely and the cottage and grounds were very inviting and cozy. Mika loved the yard and we all enjoyed watching the hummingbirds, ducks and blue herons. The kitchen was well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. The setting is peaceful and quiet and just a short drive from town. Perfect!

2nd time stay. Both were just right. Not fancy, but clean and comfortable. Minimum of goo-gaws. More space for our belongings. Kitchen is adequate for cooking meals. The best though: the glassed sunroom. We watched for birds at least 2 hours every day. We were very happy and relaxed with our stay.
