Great place. Cozy little cottage, nicely appointed and decorated, wood stove, nice view, big lawn for the dogs. Kitchen had everything we needed. Best of the five VRBO's we've stayed at. We'll be back.

Highly recommended! We spent 4 nights relaxing and exploring the Sequim area. Great place in a great location right on the lagoon and close to town. The cabin has everything -- a great kitchen with everything needed for meals, great deck for relaxing while watching the bird life, great sunroom for when the temperatures drop, great bedrooms, and great privacy. Oh, and a great, friendly owner. The very high guest ratings are well deserved.

We had a truly lovely stay. I'm afraid to say much positive things as bookings can be hard to get and we want the place to ourselves, eh.There were so many bonuses like hummingbirds constantly feeding in front of the main windows. An eagle couple bathed then perched on a bare tree nearby. And the blackberries! The home was well appointed, everything was spot on. I especially liked the hot water on tap, instant chocolate or chai. It's a really sweet cottage!

Beautiful manicured setting overlooking a magnificent lagoon and beyond the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Protection Island National Wildlife Refuge, and the San Juan Islands and Mt Baker are visible.Everything about this house makes you want to spend time there. It’s a multiple year vacation choice for us and we’ve booked 2026 already. There is no nicer place to stay on VRBO if you like quiet, an incomparable setting and a well designed, very comfortable house. The Best.

Quiet, peaceful, dog friendly

Perfect place for a quiet retreat. The house is perches on a sloped vast yard that gave our dog lots of freedom to stretch his legs. An attached solarium is a great place to soak in the view when it is chilly out. Beautiful sunrise and sunset. Easy checkin with host. Great access to town and coastline. Wish we had the foresight to plan for a longer stay
