    We were awestruck by the beauty of the home overlooking the strait. We didn’t want to leave. Beds were so comfortable as was the sofas and chairs in living area. Emma was a wonderfully host and even provided some nice amenities in the fridge like water and soda. So appreciated!

    Absolutely perfect! We stayed for 3 nights and wished it could have been longer. Perfect location for getting to Hurricane Ridge trails. The house was very clean, nice bedding and towels. It was really nice to be able to do laundry and there was plenty of space. We definitely appreciated the extras like a set of binoculars to use and the books about Olympic. I really just can’t say enough about how great this house was, we loved it!

    You will not be disappointed in this view! We spent many hours just relaxing in the living room watching the water and birds fly by. Well stocked, and great communication by the hosts. The primary shower is a little small, but outside of that the setup of the house was very accommodating for a family. Awesome to have a washer and dryer present. Great location for a 5 minute drive into town, and the hosts shared many local recommendations that made our trip easy.

    Spectacular perch with panoramic views of the water. Begins the moment you open the door and realize the enormity of the scene in front of you. Take a seat and enjoy. The bedrooms were cozy and comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked. Easy to get around the city. We spent a day at Olympic National Park, a real treat, and took a day trip to Victoria, which was also special. Just a fine experience from start to finish.

    Beautiful property with lovely original flooring, light fixtures and huge picture windows overlooking the water. Perfect for our traveling group of 6. We made a cup of the provided coffee and sat and watched the boats, fog, deer, quail, and birds. Very relaxing, private and quiet. Beds were soft and lovely, we slept so well. Great location for visiting all there is to do in that area and charming little town. We were there for a wedding, and want to come again to see what we missed. Fantastic area. Owners stocked thoughtful appreciated amenities.

    Such a charming house with a drop dead view of the water. Everything was clean and well stocked. The kitchen was modern and had everything we needed. Both bathrooms were spotless. I wish we'd had more time to just hang out at the house and enjoy the games and movies provided.There was a welcome book with everything we needed to know about the house. The host was friendly and even though away was able to solve an issue that came up.

    If I could give this review higher than a five, I would. The view over the harbor itself was an easy five. The cottage was thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed; nothing generic here. The location was close to a hospital and a busy highway, but you would not know it given how it was tucked into its location. And Emma was sincerely interested in ensuring we had a great stay.

    First, Port Angeles is a great town and the perfect place to stay for access to Olympic NP. More important, this home is cozy, well stocked with everything you might need, and has incredible views of the harbor and beyond. I could have spent hours staring out the living room window! The space was clean and inviting. We loved having a glass of wine at the fire table outside when the evening cooled off. Emma, the homeowner, sent an ambulance email with so much great info on everything Port Angeles has to offer. We wished we had another few nights to stay and hope to come back!Many thanks for such a wonderful stay!

    Family trip to Pacific Northwest with 6 people. First stop was Olympic National park and staying at this beautiful property. Great starting point for Madison, Marymere and Sol Duc falls as well as Hurricane Hill and Ridge. The first day we arrived we explored the waterfront trail where we saw otters, seals and Mountain beavers all within a short walk from the property. You can also walk to the wharf from the trail. The host was very friendly and accommodating letting us check in a little early. They had everything you needed and some extra touches like drinks in the fridge and some candy with a welcoming note which after a long day of travel was really appreciated. The home has a huge picture window looking out at the sound. This was the evening gathering place where we would relax and pass the binoculars around taking the scenery in. I highly recommend this property. You won’t regret staying here.

    This home was perfect for our 2 night stay. The view from the windows was stunning and we even saw a deer just a few feet away! I loved how the owners had left a handwritten welcome note and fresh flowers, you can tell they take pride in what they do. The house has a very convenient location for port Angeles and Olympic National park.

    It was more than we expected. The view from the living area was breathtaking. Emma had the kitchen fully stocked. And everything was clean and inviting. She gave us recommendations for dining and for sight-seeing. We were so glad she recommended going to Hurricane Ridge in Olympic NP. The day was cloudless and we could see for ever. We will definitely return to Port Angeles and stay at this lovely house.

    We were hesitant to choose this property at first, thinking we wanted a more private location; however, we can't imagine staying anywhere else now! First, even though there are other houses around, it was extremely quiet and private. In fact, we never saw or heard another person. Once inside, you feel like you're alone on an oceanside cottage, as an awesome view of the ocean greets you; so soothing and relaxing! The beds were super comfy; the kitchen well stocked, super clean; host extremely easy to communicate with. And the location is ideal for day trips to Olympic, Hurricane Ridge, etc. And the local restaurants were all superior in their food and service. Very difficult to leave after three days; could see ourselves living here for sure. Definitely don't hesitate and lose out on staying here, like we almost did. After we left the area and went on to the second half of our trip several hours west, all we did was complain about the lodgings we had moved to, compared to this lovely home!

    The photos just don't do this house justice. As soon as you walk in, you feel relaxed and in awe over the incredible view. The house is set out on the cliff away from Neighboor's. And is completely private. Every detail in this house has been taken care of. I was so bummed I forgot my Binoculars, until I realized the house came with a high end pair. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a quiet setting with an amazing view. My wife and I will be returning as soon as possible.

    A very clean and well appointed home right on Puget Sound with views of Vancouver Island and Mount Baker. The ferries, cruise and cargo ships, sail boats, along with beautiful sun and moon rises, deer and birds…gave us ever changing vistas and views along with other surprises from our bedroom and living room picture windows, made this the perfect place to unwind and have a fabulous respite after following a busy HYW 101 from the south visiting and staying at all the resorts and lodges(fantastic) along the way. With Hurricane Ridge (a straight line-from the front door), wonderful restaurants, grocery and retail stores and the wharf and the ferry to Victoria B.C. (a lovely ninety minute ride each way) only blocks away, it was an ideal location for a lovely vacation home for us. Hosts and owners Emma and Scott (next door and unobtrusive neighbors) were very welcoming with fresh cut flowers, candies and a personal note of welcoming, not to mention, soft drinks, water, and coffee. Best of all a special shout out to Scott for the clean windows…quite stunning.Thank you,Tom and Marcia Johnson
