This was a very enjoyable place to stay. Getting to the house was a little adventure as the last mile or so is on a private road. Fortunately, Google Maps got us there without any issues. Once there it is a charming house in a very private setting. We didn't do any cooking while there, but the house appeared to have modern kitchen area. All the people in the group said they'd look into renting it again if they were gong to be in the area with other people.

Beautiful House

House was just as advertised! It was clean, beautiful, and relaxing! We loved having coffee outside on either the small patio attached to the bedroom or the deck around the house. We had an absolutely wonderful time in the area while making this out home base for a few days! Would gladly rent from again!!!!

Poulsbo Vacation

We stayed so we could visit family in Bainbridge and our daughter could come up from Olympia and visit. Great house, so much character and everything we needed. Comfortable beds and didn’t need to bring anything really.

A charming stay

I stayed at this rental with friends for a wedding weekend. The house was large, able to easily accommodate 7 of us. It is a charming property with lots of character. While we spent much of our time outside of the house for wedding events, the house was well stocked with books and games, and I believe some outside activities as well. The time we did spend at the house was very relaxing, with plenty of areas (several porches, big outdoor space, living room) to gather as a group or seek out a quiet moment.The host, Carl, was very responsive and communicative and the check in/check out process was straightforward. I would recommend this property for future rentals!

Fabulous family forest getaway

This property was absolutely beautiful. Cozy and relaxing to hang out in together, eat late breakfasts, and play games. It's definitely out in the woods, but that added to the charm and the atmosphere. I'm a pillow hog and there were plenty for everyone, and I wish I could have spent more time in that window seat- it was such a perfect cozy nook. It would be an awesome house to come back to for a week of reading, relaxing, and art.

Quiet respite

Carls home was exactly what we needed. We were in town for a family members funeral and estate settling. This was an emotional time and Carl’s kindness with adjusting days was so truly appreciated. His communication was perfect. The home was exactly what we needed during our down time. The window seat and porch along with deck were where we spent most of our time. The woodwork is amazing. The house was plenty big enough for our 6 adults. Plenty of linens, fully stocked kitchen and extra blankets for those chilly mornings on the porch:) Thank you Carl!

Beautiful and Comfortable

We had a family wedding to attend in Kingston and this home was perfect for us. It was so comfortable with enough space for all of us to spread out. The covered porches were great to still be able to enjoy the outside but stay dry since it rained most of the weekend. There was everything we needed and more, I didn’t want to leave!

Better than the photos

This is a great house for a family stay. Remote and small road to get into, but worth it if you desire somewhere with the feel of being in the middle of nowhere with amenities within 15 minutes. Poulsbo is a picturesque town with dining and shopping options. This house's photos don't really do it justice!

Delightful family time.

Needed a rental near my son’s wedding venue that had plenty of bathrooms and beds, but wouldn’t break the bank—especially since some of the kids wouldn’t know for sure if they would be staying overnight, or at all. Turned out only my older son, DIL and 2 young kids stayed all 3 nights. My daughter and her fiancé stayed two nights but wanted to try out their camper van. My husband’s 3 kids only came for the wedding and went home (young people). Hopefully we can do it again for longer! The kids loved the place and found lots of hiding places. It’s well stocked with books, towels, dishes, silverware, even extras like oil, spices, syrup and a waffle maker!! Really one of the best stocked rentals we’ve had. The covered deck, sunroom and upstairs deck were great for getting some reading done. The window bench was the most popular spot!! There were yard games. If my groom son was there he would have stacked the firewood and built a fire every night in the firepit! The outdoor lights were adorable too. Thank you for allowing us to have a great stay.

Perfect

We attended a wedding in Kingston. We bought fresh fish and cooked it on the grill, played cornhole, drank wine, and had a wonderful time. The kitchen was unusually well appointed. I have used many VRBOs. This was absolutely one of the nicest. Quiet, and surprisingly well located for exploring Port Gamble, Port Townsend, even Bainbridge Island over to Seattle.

Extraordinary Craftsmanship

The woodworking throughout this house is extraordinary. It looks like a finish carpenter’s labor of love. Even the lamps are hand-made. Be aware that the house is down a 3/4 mile long gravel road - your car will get dusty. Also, not all the neighbors keep their places as spotless as our host’s place.
