The host was very responsive via text message, which works exceptionally well for me. Nothing was out of order, and the space was beautifully decorated for fall. They went above and beyond with welcoming touches, and we will definitely look here first when we are back in Sequim. We loved this space!

Place was beautiful and close to hiking trails. The house was super clean and the lavender field was gorgeous. Checking in and out was super easy as well. The house also offers fresh herbs for cooking in the greenhouse. The hot tub was also extremely nice. We will be coming back in the future and I highly recommend this place.

This is a beautiful and well-stocked property that definitely has the guest's needs, comfort, and relaxation in mind. Not far off highway 101, but far enough from downtown Sequim to not feel crowded, and close to most northern Olympic Peninsula locations, this is a perfect spot to relax whether exploring trails or the cities in the area.Great kitchen and grill, 3 comfy bedrooms, and overall, just a lovely place to relax for the weekend. Would have loved to have enjoyed this place for a longer amount of time. The host was very communicative and attentive, and prompt to respond to any questions (though everything was very well labeled and explained, so there was little need).I highly recommend this location if you're lookiblng foe a relaxing retreat in the Sequim area!

Amazing stay!!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed—especially for staying with kids. From toys and games to kid-friendly spaces, it made our trip so much easier. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus, and the garden was beautiful and peaceful. The location was great, just a short drive to the Olympic Game Farm, which was a highlight of our trip.Our host, Lisa, was wonderful—very friendly and responsive whenever we had a question. We truly felt at home and would absolutely stay here again!

Nice location, very clean, well stocked

We had a great stay at Lisa and Robert’s cottage. Very well stocked, clean and easy to communicate with them. I was very touched to receive flowers, balloons and wine as a birthday welcome! Daughter loved the upstairs hang out area, hot tub was wonderful after hikes. (The waiver that’s required to sign is 4 pages which threw us a bit.) We would stay again if in the area or recommend to others, for sure.

Beautiful bungalow in Sequim

I stayed here with my teenage daughter and one of her friends. We loved making root beer floats, visiting the chickens, and the over all comfort of the house. It was a great base to explore the town, Dungeness Spit, and Hurricane Ridge.

This house was perfect for our stay! It was very clean and in a good location for everything we wanted to go see / do in the park. We have never stayed in a house that was so well stocked as this home! They left us a bottle of wine AND ingredients to make root beer floats. Such a sweet place to stay with chickens, a hot tub, and lavender plants!

Family Beach Holiday

Our entire family (3 adults and 4 grandchildren, ages 4-12 years) had a wonderful and memorable experience staying at the Wise Old Owl bungalow during our stay in Sequim. Robert and Lisa are very caring, capable hosts who have the comfort and concerns of their guests always in the forefront of their minds. The house itself had the most well-appointed kitchen that we've ever had the pleasure of using, from great cookware and sharp knives to condiments and spices. We ate most of our breakfasts and dinners there, and it was a real pleasure to do so for someone who loves to cook! They even shared their farm-fresh eggs with us! The kids loved the toy room, the hot tub, and watching the chickens and ducks, and holding the very tame chicken with Robert. The home is in a great location for explorers of the area, with beaches or hikes readily available in every direction within 15-60 minutes. We had fabulous weather and spent every day outdoors in nature, and the kids never once asked for tablets or t.v., opting instead for the rocks, sand, waves, and beach creatures. The Texas grandkids are already asking when we may return! We would not hesitate to return to this sweet bungalow and these lovely hosts. Renee July/August, 2024

Family trip to Olympic National Park

We arrived Friday evening after dinner. The unit is beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. Lisa is a wonderful host, providing ample opportunities for us to request/wonder about/ or report issues (of which there were none!) She provided lots of brochures highlighting things to do in the area. Everything in the unit was well marked and organized, making our stay easy. The root beer floats were appreciated, too! We highly recommend Lisa and her unit when in the area!
