The view from the backyard was an excellent place to catch a glimpse of fireworks on the mainland.Shannon and Lorne were excellent hosts and offered some of the best communication that i have had on VRBO. While the guest house was just steps away from their main home, we barely noticed they were there.

They were to guide/point us at number of local attractions. The property, its gardens and architecture, are beautiful. It lives up to its namesake as a “chateau”. The garden is impressive, having been featured in the 2019 Masters Gardners Tour. The property also offers stunning views of the Pudget Sound and Mount Rainier.

The property was exceptionally beautiful and peaceful. It was so relaxing as well. We would love to stay here again and encourage anyone traveling to this area to check it out. The view and gardens are amazing and we saw a beautiful full moon rising over the harbor. Thanks again for sharing. ##### Eric Y. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David D.

She had a bottle of wine and dry sodas in the fridge. She even picked fresh figs off her tree for us to enjoy! The grounds are well manicured with views for days. Just relax and make unforgettable memories here! ##### David D.
