Sequim, Washington
This charming c1925 home has been recently renovated and upgraded and is now an adorable little home away from home. A lot of reclaimed material was used for the Renovation; all the shiplap is original to the house while the doors, shelves, and benches were made from the old Railroad Bridge Park decking. We love our home, and our location ( right off the main drag ), literally in the heart of our humble and quaint little town of Sequim. We hope that you will enjoy it as well! This property does not boast brand new everything, but beds have top of the line mattress, and fine linens.
The bathroom is stocked with plush towel and locally made hand soaps.
The kitchen has all the necessities to cook meals and plenty of dinnerware for five people. A dishwasher and cleaning supplies are provided.
It’s a clean, cozy, comfortable, and inspiring blend of new and old (rustic & contemporary). It has loads of character and a lovely gated outdoor living area.
We are new owners but made sure you will still have all the amenities that the previous owner included plus adding our own. The house is fun to look at and easy to enjoy :)
Guest access
Guest have access to everything. However, we do ask that any pit-fires are kept to a minimal size and starting at dusk or later.
Additionally, the outdoor bathtub is our take on a hot tub. It's easy to enjoy, just run the hose over and turn on the hot water. The lid is very heavy, so please be careful if you choose to use it, and make sure the top is secured and latched before using. No children should be left unsupervised.
Interaction with guests
We interact with our guest as needed. We have found that most guests prefer less communication during their stay, which we understand and respect. We also want our guest to know that if there is something they need, or if something comes up, we are only a phone call away.
Other things to note
Parking is on the east side of the fence, big enough for a large mobile home if needed.
There is a NON-SMOKING OF Or VAPING of ANY KIND! strict policy inside and outside the property; we respectfully ask that you abide by it.
We were pleasantly surprised by this property. The place felt bigger than we expected and all appliances and furnishings were more comfortable than expected. After long days of driving around and exploring the Olympic peninsula, it was nice to be able to walk to a large selection of restaurants in the area. If you have bikes I'd advise you to bring them inside the house with you. We had one incident where we caught a thief attempt to steal one of the bikes off of our rack red-handed. Luckily our bikes were locked up on the rack but it is good to know that bike thieves exist everywhere now--not just in urban areas! I know Sequim is generally a very safe area and that this was just a crime of opportunity but we thought future guests would find this information helpful. Thanks for a lovely home, Martha
My kids and I stayed here for two nights in order to see the Olympic Peninsula. It was such a cute home that was in a great location. The owner was very communicative and we had no issues with our stay. The home was lovely!
This was a very well-maintained little home with many loving touches. A kitchen filled with everything needed for preparing meals and a great selection of k-cup coffees. We enjoyed the front entry way sitting after coming back from a full day of exploring. Being greeted by the flowers in the parking area was a definite plus.
Our family of four had a great stay at the Shack. Martha is a thoughtful host and prompt with communication. The location is literally in the center of town, but back far enough off the road that it feels private and we had no noise issues. Was nice to be in easy walking distance to so many great shops and restaurants. Sequim was experiencing a record-breaking heatwave during our visit, so the Shack got pretty toasty but we appreciated the extra fans in the bedrooms to help stay cool. Loved the movie selection, and though we didn't cook the kitchen seemed well stocked. Beds were super comfortable. We will definitely return!
A super cute Shack located in the heart of Sequim. Walking distance to everything you need during your stay. Owners were very communicative and helpful.
Great location and user friendly property! We had everything we needed and Martha was great at communicating. The place is due for a deep clean, but to be fair it is called the shack.
This property is located close to downtown within walking distance to many restaurants and businesses. It was perfect for the two of us for a weekend away.
Nice quaint abode, very clean with plenty amenities, especially in kitchen. could benefit from more lighting. Didn’t realize this property is on a Main Street in Sequim (impossible to realize from the photos in the listing).
Property looks just as it does in pictures... Host obviously put a lot of thought into the charming details. Scrabble tiles labeling contents within cabinets was appreciated as was box of local restaurant menus. Gas stove, even though I didn't cook was really nice to see. Bed was also very comfortable with cozy linens. No central air so it made for one pretty warm night in the shack during my summer trip that the two fans just couldn't adequately address. Some windows in shack don't open at all and not all that do are screened or lock (bedroom side door to garden), so as a single woman traveling alone I didn't feel safe having them open at night while I slept. Overall, was happy with the accommodations and would recommend to others.
We were in town for a soccer tourney and found the location extremely convenient. Loved the decor inside and out. Extra parking allowing the grandparents to join in their motorhome. Fun courtyard kept our pups happy and wonderful neighbors and local businesses to chat with. We will definitely ask to book again! Great owners, excellent communication and follow through. The Shack is well equipped with everything you’d need and it’s fun and eclectic to top it off. Thanks again!!
