Incredible property

Had the chance to stay at this property for two weeks in June, including over the summer solstice. The views do not disappoint and are absolutely breathtaking. We’re talking panoramic views of Puget sounds from on a high Bluff with mountains in the distance as well.The property was clean, had everything I needed, was in a very nice but also quiet location, and Jenelle was an outstanding host and very easy to communicate with. I would definitely stay at this property again and cannot wait until my next trip back!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay. The view is absolutely stunning & the rental had everything you could need. We were fortunate to have amazing weather so the outdoor seating & hot tub got plenty of use. Watching orcas, hummingbirds, deer, & more. The bed was very comfortable & so was the pull out couch. Everything was clean & inviting. We have stayed in many rentals & this is by far the best. Jennelle & Chris are lovely & responsive hosts. Much thanks to James who was staying with them & who was our orca lookout. Truly enjoyed every bit of our stay. Can’t wait to come back!Thanks again for sharing your home with us.

5 Star getaway

Absolutely our best vacation rental property ever and we've been blessed to stay at some good ones. From the beautiful home that is well built, very generously and thoughtfully equipped and decorated, to the outdoor seating, gas fire pit, and hot tub areas. The best part is without a doubt the views....Sunsets, Bald Eagles, Orcas, Dolphins, Deer and an assortment of other pretty birds. This property along with a very pleasant and easy to reach out to, owner make this a 5 star retreat.

We saw so much beauty in the area, so many sweet animals...deer and fawns, bald eagles, hummingbirds. We hope to return someday and highly recommend this sweet elegant retreat.

We came in town to photograph a wedding and couldn’t believe how incredible this place was! The view from the hot tub of fireworks on 4th of July was beyond amazing. The space is beautifully appointed and the bird watching was a real treat. Did I mention the sunsets?!?! The best in the west!!

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. The quiet, secluded, insanely beautiful view was just what my sister and I were looking for. The hot tub and outdoor seating area with fire pit was perfect in the evenings. The unit is down some fairly steep stairs, so keep that in mind if you have mobility issues. We only had one minor issue with the shower, but the host fixed it within the hour while we were out exploring the area. The host does live on the property, so you will hear them walking around upstairs, so if you are seeking a quiet space to work or rest during the daytime, that may be an issue for you. It was not a problem for us, as we were up early, and out most of the day sightseeing. The couch has a pull out bed, which is nice. It was an amazing experience and I will be staying there again if I am in the area. Thank you, Janelle!
Amazing view, right out the door.

A hidden gem with breathtaking views!

This place is magical! Super comfy bed (we’re picky!), spotless and 5-star all the way. Mornings and sunsets in the hot tub with epic views and birds overhead—pure bliss. Huge shoutout to Jenelle for all the thoughtful touches—robes, slippers, even binoculars. Already dreaming of going back.

"Snow, Silence, and the Kind of Peace You Don’t Want to Leave

There are places you stay, and then there are places you feel. This was the latter.A 180-degree view that makes you forget the rest of the world exists… snow falling while we soaked in the hot tub, wrapped in silence so deep it felt sacred. Every inch of this place is designed for comfort, ease, and just the right amount of indulgence.Jennelle nailed it—flawless presentation, seamless communication, and an atmosphere so dang perfect it felt like it was made just for us. This was more than a getaway, more than a stay—it was exactly what we needed. A place to breathe, to be, to exist without the static of the outside world.We’ll be back!

It really is a stunning view & more.

We are extremely happy to have chosen this Vacation Rental! Jennelle, the owner and host was most helpful and gracious. Receiving the entry instructions a day in advance was appreciated. She came out to greet us upon arrival and showed us around.,The unit is compact but we had everything we needed. The furnishings were top quality inside and out. Jennelle is a talented photographer and her pieces on display were very interesting and enjoyable. The view, of course is the main highlight. We can’t recommend this unit highly enough!
