We loved taking the car ferry from Seattle and venturing from city to beautiful views and waterfront in such a short time. We loved the property and the walk to the water was short and easy. We visited the Ilahee State Park, which was only a few minutes away and dabbled into Lake Crescent for a day. Cute waterfront restaurants nearby, too. Would definitely recommend! ##### Megan G.

Watching the water and the wildlife through the big windows, seeing Sealions (or maybe seals) swimming in the water and collecting shells at the beach. The weather didn't allow us to use the kayaks or paddleboards and the hike back from the beach was a touch harder than we anticipated. But, we definately are already planning another stay here. We loved it! ##### Tracy H. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori W.

Beds were comfy. Kitchen was perfectly outfitted, everything was very nice. The trail down to the water was a bit steep, and a bit further than I thought it would be, but worth it when you got to the water. It was great kayaking and paddle boarding. Lovely home, a great place. ##### Lori W. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Morgan F.

The house was easy to find, everything was clean and well stocked. And as a bonus it was probably the most comfortable rental-house bed I’ve ever slept in! The host, Melissa, was very responsive and helpful for all our questions. It comfortably slept 6 adults and we could have fit a few more if needed. The outdoor area was well maintained and a relaxing place to eat dinner and visit. And the beach was stocked with a paddle board and some kayaks which was a plus. Would definitely stay here or at another of their properties again. Highly recommend! ##### Morgan F. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris N.

May 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dream house Dream location Sad to leave I am so sad to be leaving. This was truly a dream vacation and we will be back. This beautiful, clean and well supplied home is nestled in the trees (almost feels like a tree house because you see them from every window). The primary bedroom has a beautiful view of the trees and and the water over the top of the very pretty house below. There was plenty of provancy despite three other homes down the driveway. The walk to the beach is short but yes it is steep. There is a fabulous rope swing on the beach. We took our coffee down and sat in the Adirondack chairs looking at the water and the passing boats. We had a guard goose (and sometimes a friend) go let us know that we were trespassing on their property and it made us laugh every time they hissed at us (as they were walking away). We saw several black tail deer and babies as well. The flowers were blooming and the waterfall and pond by the house was calming and beautiful. The location was perfect for a drive to Poulsbo (maybe the cutest town around) the ferry to Seattle is a reasonable distance. Our contacts were responsive to questions. This was a great visit and I daydream about being back there. ##### Susan K. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann J. Aug 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Careful! The walk to the water is not for the faint of ❤️!! I did give the home five stars - the home was great. However, there are to warnings… 1\. There is a fireplace, but it is decorative only. Not a huge deal. 2\. The short walk to the beach is not short. The initial walk is steep and the pebbles make the footing insecure… then there are a few switch backs. We had people with us who would have been fine with a bit of a walk but struggled significantly with the incline/hike. The beach was the reason we rented the home (slip down for a coffee in the morning, pop down and watch the kids splash, sit by a fire in the evening…) The walk meant that we didn’t go down to the water most days and struggled down once on the days we did go down. A warning would have been appreciated. We would have found something more appropriate for our group. BUT. The owners were responsive, the property was clean and well stocked (beds were comfy and comforters snuggly). The natural surroundings and wildlife were wonderful, and (once you got to the beach) the water was crystal clear and simply amazing. ##### Ann J. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Valerie T. Jul 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Fun Place! This was a comfortable property and we enjoyed our stay. What we loved: -Clean and comfortable bedding; we slept amazingly! -Well stocked kitchen, it had everything we needed. -Clean and functional grill with extra propane tank. -Charming home that was quite comfortable. -Beautiful area and wildlife, we enjoyed watching the deer and otters at the beach. What you should know before you go: -No comfortable outdoor seating. We ended up purchasing some camp chairs for use at the home and the beach. -No patio/deck. There isn't really an outdoor living area at this property. -The hike to the beach is long and vertical. I didn't mind it, but it does make going to the beach an endeavor and we didn't go as often as we thought we would because of the walk. -Access to the beach itself is difficult as you have to scale some fairly large rocks to get to the water. Getting the kayaks from their storage spot on and off the beach takes a lot of strength, so be sure to have someone that can push/pull/lift. -The outdoor waterfall is really pretty, when we were there the creek wasn't running, so it was the waterfall pond only that had water.. The second pond is quite full of greenery (it's very pretty!) but also mosquitoes, so take some repellant with you. -There are no beach/pool towels here, so we purchased some locally so that we wouldn't dirty the white towels in the home. -Many windows do not have screens (see mosquitoes above) -There isn't a true view of the bay from this home. ##### Valerie T.
