This home is on a peaceful spot at the end of the canal. Fascinating watching the water ebb and flow. beautiful scenery, located near enough to Port Townsend and hiking areas. Home is immaculate and great separation of space despite being modest sized. Kitchen amenities and view are enviable!

Beautiful location. Excellent house.

The house was great. Since the weather was unusually cool, we enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and the wood stove in the living area.

Chris was a great host, very nice & good communication. The house was very clean which is what I look for when renting. Everything you need for a homey stay is there. The view is beautiful even in the rainy weather we had. Overall, very nice stay and would definitely stay here again. :)
All good things - lots of pots and pans. clean verything. Awesome views of mountain and bay. kids found crabs in the mud. mud during low tides did not look safe. sign says so too. Had a small hiccup at check-in but manager promptly helped only after 4pm check-in time. no biggie. very quiet week. internet speed quite good - we could get work done comfortably while the kids explored. lots of board games in stock too.
