The mountain and water views were spectacular! The hosts were also fantastic! Super-friendly, very respectful of our privacy but most definitely available for questions and suggestions for things to do. Also, every room had so much thought put into it that whenever we looked for something, we found it right where we would have put it. It really is a very well-thought out design. All this and the price was very reasonable. We are most definitely going to return there!

We had an exceptional stay at Chez Zig Zag. The home is beautiful and the setting is spectacular. There are beautiful views of the water from the living and dining areas and such lovely areas to sit outside such as the gardens, swings, fireplace area and dome. The home sits high on the bluff next to the Zig Zag trail which takes you down into town. It is close to so many restaurants and to the ferry station. The proximity to Olympic National Park was wonderful and we used it as a home base to travel to Hurricane Ridge, Crescent Lake and other areas. It was easy to take a day trip to Victoria B.C on the Ferry. Brent and Amy are wonderful hosts. The place is immaculate and stocked with everything you need. It was a pleasure to stay in this home and I highly recommend it.

We really enjoyed our stay at Chez ZigZag! The host was very nice and around if we needed him. The view was amazing and a quiet neighborhood. We walked everywhere when not out doing the touristy things like taking the ferry to Victoria, and going to Mount Olympic National Park! A great stay.... wish it could have been longer!

I think this is our fifth time to stay at Chez Zigzag, starting in 2013 and we love the hospitality of the owners, the views from the rooms (including from the shower), the convenience of the location and the furnishings including some nice artwork and interesting other pieces. They keep adding to and improving the property and it is certainly one of the best places to stay in Port Angeles. Also recommend the Country Aire grocery store very near by.

My son and i stayed here 2 nights while exploring Olympic. The location made it easy to drive into the park and also walk downtown. The kitchen was well stocked and also had a beautiful view! We loved their patio and fire at night. We'd stay here again and stay longer. The hosts were amazing and extremely helpful!

This is an amazing property! We stayed in Zigzag (the upstairs area). The views were beautiful and we had plenty of room. Brent and Amy were just wonderful and very welcoming. The sauna was a real treat! Plus, the property is within walking distance of downtown and a wonderful grocery store. Next time I come to Port Angeles, I will definitely stay here!

About the host

Hosted by Amy or Brent Powell

Host profile image
Amy and Brent are both active Realtors with BROKERSGROUP Realty in Sequim WA. Both are regular cyclists and enjoy e-biking around the North Olympic Peninsula. Living here has been a blessing to them. They look forward to sharing the wonders of Port Angeles and the North Olympic Peninsula with their guests.
After living all over the USA, they've decided this is the best place of all. The natural beauty of the surroundings and the friendly people are delightful. Amy grew up in Pennsylvania, Brent in Southern Oregon. They have four grown children and four grand kids. They've now been married for 43 wonderful years and look forward to many more.
They live on the main floor and are available should a special need arise. They may, occasionally, be using either one of the two patios, or be maintaining other aspects of the property, but will endeavor to do this when Guests are not present when possible.

Why they chose this property

The Powells stumbled into a vacation rental. The home they purchased came with a separate apartment upstairs. The renters moved out and they spent the next 4 months remodeling the apartment. Amy did the designing, Brent and hired professionals did the rest.
They are excited to offer it to visitors to the North Olympic Peninsula. "If we came to Port Angeles looking for a vacation rental, this is the one we would pick. It is luxurious, and centrally located with easy access to just about everything." Chez ZigZag provides a peaceful retreat that can't be beat. Come and see. You won't be disappointed!

What makes this property unique

We were attracted to our home by the fact it had been solidly and well constructed and remained in original condition. Best of all there had been no mediocre, ill conceived, home owner remodels to correct... it was a blank canvas. What you see now took several years, financial commitment and many craftsmen's hours to accomplish. We are excited to share it with you.
