Check-in super easy. The kitchen was large and had everything we needed to our stay. The windows at the sink looking out to the garden like yard and then the water was dream like. Our time here was simply magical. It was exactly what was needed to get back to our quiet peace and connect with nature.
The property is a slice of paradise & an amazing location for a family group. Theres lots to see & explore around the property, especially the oyster beds when the tide is out. Everyone, from age 8 - 73, had a fantastic time
Beautiful property and house with lots of room to spread out. We were a multigenerational family and loved the blooming garden, dreamy views, and well stocked kitchen. We hope to visit again!
Our family enjoyed our stay here and especially loved the outdoor space with beautiful gardens, access to the water and building a fire at night. Terry was so nice!
It was a nice two night stay! Our host Terry was very friendly and very concerned that we feel comfortable in his cosy home! The garden invites to sit down and just relax with a glas of tea or wine. Terry has a love for antique furniture, because His house is wounderful equipped with it!
Pros: Very spacious and interesting place with a homey feel. The kitchen had all of the utensils etc. we needed. The master bedroom was massive with beautiful furniture. The view from the back yard is lovely with a lovely somewhat obstructed panoramic view of Gamble Bay and the land across it. The patio had comfortable seating under cover and a water feature next to the deck. The yard and garden are stunning, chock full of interesting and lovely plants. There is also a water feature in the front that can be heard from one of the bedrooms to the delight of one guest. The house is located behind a furniture repair shop off of a highway but the gold mailbox with two reflecting triangles made is easier to find when coming back from town. You cannot hear the highway from inside of the house. The host, Terry, runs the furniture repair shop and was super friendly and helpful. He allowed us to pick beans in the vegetable garden, gave us a vase of flowers, told us of local walking opportunities and played a song he and his partner had written. He also offered to send a hat to one of the guests who had left it.
Cons (for us): There was an error on the website/app describing the house as a 4 bedroom. We were counting on 4 bedrooms but made due with the couches. This error has been corrected. If you are looking for a 3 bedroom then this is a lovely property to rent.
We were very impressed with the home inside and the grounds outside. The view of the water was beautiful also. Our host and hostess were both friendly and very accommodating to our needs. We loved the evening of music that they provided for our family. I will recommend this place to everyone and I hope that I will be able to go back there someday.
The stay was perfect with a peaceful and beautiful outdoor surrounding. We had a great experience and the overall the location was very convenient to the ferry station along and the picturesque town of Port Gamble. Very spacious indoor and outdoor space with great accommodations.
The deck and gardens are gorgeous and the owners are clearly great gardeners! It was a beautiful location and close to family and friends in Kingston and Poulsbo. Hosts were very gracious, and when we crossed paths they asked if we needed anything. They are right next door but property was very private. It's great that they installed a water filter in the kitchen sink. I would say that was the only complaint was showering in the sulfer smelling water so only recommendation would be a water filter system. Everything else was perfect and pictures accurately reflect the property, bedrooms and kitchen areas.
My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay here. House is large and open and was clean, beautiful view and nice deck/patio area to relax and enjoy the ocean air and watch the hummingbirds at the flowers. Very relaxing.
So, the property is absolutely lovely. It has wonderful charm in every room. The owner is a furniture restorer, so there are wonderful pieces everywhere. The view from the home and the back yard is a fabulous overlook on the Puget Sound. It is filled with a splendidly maintained garden and has an active vegetable garden. Inside is a color explosion on every wall and is incredibly spacious. The property is centrally located with beaches in reach in as little as 10 minutes by car. There is also a surprising amount to do. Tons of museums and activities, nature walks etc are all quite close to the property. The only thing that was a bit of a drawback is the water is well water which has a bit of a Sulphur smell. Don't let it be a big drawback because this place is a little slice of heaven. During our stay, one of the neighbors shot off a 45 minute long fireworks display that we enjoyed while having dinner on the deck. Super secluded and relaxing while being accessible to amenities and the sheer amount of things that have been installed for use in the home were incredible. Would love to go again with the kids.
