Kingston family visit

We had the most wonderful time at the Retreat! The accommodations were ideal for us and the proximity to our son who lives in Kingston could not be better. The fresh blackberries we picked for breakfast every day were the icing on the cake! We will definitely return! Thank you for helping us make So many family memories! Gail and Jim

Lovely retreat!

Cozy, clean, well stocked retreat tucked away. Wonderful layout and plenty of room for the two of us. Well stocked kitchen, cozy TV nook, and all the amenities, including extra towels and washer/dryer. One note, photos of the property online show an open barn flex space, brightly light from inside. We imagined opening the barn doors and enjoying the night air, however the doors are padlocked (understandably, as there is property inside.) Would have been a lovely option. Great hosts, great stay!

A Lovely Retreat

The moment you drive up the driveway you know you are in for a special treat and a superb stay! WOW! This is the best VRBO! Amazing peaceful location with easy access to the Kingston/Edmonds ferry, Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island (with ferry connections to Seattle). The property itself is straight out of a storybook! The attached barn makes for a unique architectural aesthetically pleasing design. Inside the home is very welcoming with its beautiful farmhouse style and minimalist decor (which I love), great light exposure through the huge windows overlooking the spacious yard with deer & bunnies, cozy TV area perfect for rainy nights to curl up and watch a movie, well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds and Adirondack chairs outside to enjoy evening chats and morning coffee. Thank you for the lovely stay and the local craft cider!

Unique Space for a Weekend Away

My friends and I had a nice stay here on a girls weekend. The location is quiet (apart from the occasional crow of a rooster next door) and has a nice common space to hang out in. We were close enough to visit both Poulsbo and Bainbridge, so it was a perfect spot!

An oasis in the forest!

Can’t beat the beautiful interior design of this rental! Very cozy! It was a short drive from Kingston but felt like you were in the middle of the woods. We had several deer in the yard to greet us each morning. Excellent communication from the owners. Would stay again.

Perfect Solitude

We absolutely loved this property. Everything was as listed. The hosts were very friendly, communicative and made the whole process easy and intuitive. We were coming home from Vancouver BC and this was the perfect retreat after a big city, quiet, private and relaxing. The house was awesome, clean and had all the right essentials. Would definitely recommend as well as stay again.

Beautiful getaway

We stayed for a weekend, attending my brother-in-law’s funeral nearby. Some of the family members came by for a couple hours between activities. Everyone was so impressed with the home. It’s very clean and roomy. The loft was perfect for a basketball game, and sitting out on the lawn was peaceful and quiet. Just what we needed as a getaway retreat.
