The cottage was great, there were portable AC units when it was a bit warmer, but overall we just used the fans. Beds were comfy. Kitchen was perfectly outfitted, everything was very nice. The trail down to the water was a bit steep, and a bit further than I thought it would be, but worth it when you got to the water. It was great kayaking and paddle boarding. Lovely home, a great place.

This house is adorably charming and perfect for our first time in Washington. We loved taking the car ferry from Seattle and venturing from city to beautiful views and waterfront in such a short time. We loved the property and the walk to the water was short and easy. We visited the Ilahee State Park, which was only a few minutes away and dabbled into Lake Crescent for a day. Cute waterfront restaurants nearby, too. Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely beautiful. Right by the water and so much wildlife/trees surrounding the home - couldn’t have asked for it to be any better than it was. We’ll be back!

Everything about the cottage is as advertised. Melissa was on top of everything. I look forward to staying there again in the future when my wife can join me.
