This property is beautiful. We had such a relaxing, tranquil and refreshing time. Watching the sunset from the hot tub was so wonderful. We saw so much beauty in the area, so many sweet animals...deer and fawns, bald eagles, hummingbirds. We hope to return someday and highly recommend this sweet elegant retreat.

5 Star getaway

Absolutely our best vacation rental property ever and we've been blessed to stay at some good ones. From the beautiful home that is well built, very generously and thoughtfully equipped and decorated, to the outdoor seating, gas fire pit, and hot tub areas. The best part is without a doubt the views....Sunsets, Bald Eagles, Orcas, Dolphins, Deer and an assortment of other pretty birds. This property along with a very pleasant and easy to reach out to, owner make this a 5 star retreat.

Incredible property

Had the chance to stay at this property for two weeks in June, including over the summer solstice. The views do not disappoint and are absolutely breathtaking. We’re talking panoramic views of Puget sounds from on a high Bluff with mountains in the distance as well.The property was clean, had everything I needed, was in a very nice but also quiet location, and Jenelle was an outstanding host and very easy to communicate with. I would definitely stay at this property again and cannot wait until my next trip back!

PNW Paradise!

We came in town to photograph a wedding and couldn’t believe how incredible this place was! The view from the hot tub of fireworks on 4th of July was beyond amazing. The space is beautifully appointed and the bird watching was a real treat. Did I mention the sunsets?!?! The best in the west!!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay. The view is absolutely stunning & the rental had everything you could need. We were fortunate to have amazing weather so the outdoor seating & hot tub got plenty of use. Watching orcas, hummingbirds, deer, & more. The bed was very comfortable & so was the pull out couch. Everything was clean & inviting. We have stayed in many rentals & this is by far the best. Jennelle & Chris are lovely & responsive hosts. Much thanks to James who was staying with them & who was our orca lookout. Truly enjoyed every bit of our stay. Can’t wait to come back!Thanks again for sharing your home with us.

A hidden gem with breathtaking views!

This place is magical! Super comfy bed (we’re picky!), spotless and 5-star all the way. Mornings and sunsets in the hot tub with epic views and birds overhead—pure bliss. Huge shoutout to Jenelle for all the thoughtful touches—robes, slippers, even binoculars. Already dreaming of going back.
