Port Townsend, Washington
The world drops away as you drive up our .2 mile driveway and catch a glimpse of the striking modernist home through the trees. The house sits amid towering firs and dramatic madronas atop a low hogsback running through the 6 acre property. The only other building in sight is our barn about 200ft to the east, which is not part of the rental. Walking past the door to the house on the wraparound 600sqft deck, you’ll look down on our private meadow, perfect for frizbee, badminton, or just sitting by the fire pit with a guitar, your friends and family.
There are essentially two bedrooms, the master is conventionally configured with a queen bed, but the second bedroom has a sliding wooden wall, a full size futon on the first floor, and a sleeping loft with a full size bed, and adjacent rooftop atrium. Then there is what we call the 'Kid Ship'... This is a loft space built above the kitchen, with a full size futon- a huge favorite of our kids, and any adult willing to climb a ladder. It isn't suitable for kids under 7. My bedroom of choice is the sunken living room, which has curtains closing it off from the rest of the house, a large stone fireplace, 46' LED TV, 14' ceilings, tons of windows, and a queen size hide-a-bed couch.
If there are members of your party with mobility issues, the main floor, driveway and deck are all in the same plane, and there is a gently sloped road down to the meadow, which can be easily navigated in either a wheelchair or a vehicle. There are deer, colonies of Thatcher ants, Pacific tree frogs, coyotes, herons , ravens, owls, and woodpeckers making frequent appearances when you make a little time for them.
Gorgeous home and property, restful, quiet, full of amenities and fun for the whole family.
Very professional and easy process
Our overall impression was very good! It is a very unique and comfortable home with many indoor and outdoor activities for all ages. The owner was so great and prompt to answer any questions. You won't be disappointed here! The artwork is fabulous and of great variety throughout the home. Our family enjoyed soccer, badminton, sliding down the slide from the deck to the lower level ground, ping-pong, drawing at the drafting table, playing with blocks, toys and board games. We did not feel this home was a good fit for seniors with limited capabilities, owing to the difficulty of the shower/tub to get in and out of. Otherwise...it's really a fun home!!
It’s a magical place and a perfect setting for a family reunion. You just have to experience it because the photos online don’t tell the whole story!
We selected this property because it looked delightful. It did not disappoint. It is a great location and very private. We loved the eclectic décor and the layout. It was just the two of us and our dog, but it would be spectacular for a family with children. Our plan was to visit Port Townsend and the parks, which we did, but spent most of our time hanging out on the property. There was plenty to do there and a great local radio station to listen to while we hung out on the deck. The kitchen has everything you need for creating some great meals. The bed in the master was very comfortable with a deck and exercise bike looking out towards the woods. Wonderful! We would highly recommend this home. Becky, Bob and Tater McPeters
A lovely place nestled in tall trees with a great deck for eating outside and a slide down to the lower level! The kitchen was very well equipped - we prepared dinner for 12 with no problem. Very comfortably furnished and interesting artwork on every wall. The sleeping spaces, other than the master bedroom, were less private than would be ideal, but everyone slept comfortably.
Beautiful setting, Fun house with lots of interesting decorations, and games!
Cabin was great, off the road and secluded and quiet. Easy drive into town for food/shopping. We enjoyed our stay.
We stayed for a week with our two dogs and young kids, and it was ideal! The meadow is dreamy, the house is full of cool nooks and hangout spots, and it’s spacious and well-equipped. We cooked all our meals and loved eating on the big deck. If you’re lucky enough to be there in mid-July, don’t miss out on picking the trailing wild blackberries in the surrounding woods. Highly recommend.
We arrived to the most beautiful house in the woods. Keith, the owner, was there cleaning for our arrival. The house was much more beautiful than the photos portrayed. I would live there forever if Keith would let me. We stayed fo 5 heavenly weeks. The house has EVERY single thing you could possible ever need or want from cooking gear to games. It has a fabulous meadow back yard, huge with a big fire pit. The whole experience was truly sublime.
