We took the ferry from Edmonds and it was less than 100 miles round trip. You can tell this house was built with a lot of love and that's the vibe you get right away when you walk inside - loved the bench seat in the window! Great space for families or a get together with friends. Super close to two state parks (Flagler is awesome for kids) and our dogs loved it too!

Beautiful details in a relaxing house, a short distance from several parks and beaches!

Beautiful retreat in a beautiful setting. Very comfortable clean and quiet. Highly recommend!

Wonderful property, comfortable and quiet. We loved the woodland setting, the nearby beaches and the lovely home. A perfect getaway.

Family of 3 + 2 labs (1 geriatric, 1 < 12 months) had a wonderful stay here. Really lovely home, set back from the road and nestled in the trees. Super close to the Fort, which provided us days worth of beachcombing adventures for kiddo and pups. We had trouble a little with the internet; will download any media we want to our devices in advance next time. Oh but the kitchen is A++. We were easily able to cook a pretty elaborate thanksgiving dinner. Really enjoyed our time here!

Jonathan’s place is great! His woodworking Is beautiful and the woods surrounding the house compliment the indoors. We loved the location and went to all the local parks and beaches. Great places for dogs to play and swim! Would definitely recommend this vacation home.

Very relaxing and comfortable cabin across the street from Mystery Bay and a short jaunt down to East Beach. The beds are comfortable. One room is set up with a king-sized bed and the other is with a full and a twin. The host was lovely and easy to get a hold of. I really liked the record player. One thing to be aware of is that this cabin doesn't have wifi and cell reception was a bit spotty - it was fine in the driveway and elsewhere on the island.

For dog owners this spot was ideal. The home is set well back from the road with room for my two dogs to scout around without close traffic to worry about. To enjoy all the parks be sure to buy a WA Discover Pass which you can get at Fort Flagler entrance if you arrive from out of state like I did. Fort Flagler was great with long beautiful well-maintained walks but also included great side trails through the woods which my dogs loved. East Beach park was very close and a wonderful walk at low tide. Kayaking in Mystery Bay on a sunny day was a bonus. The kitchen is ready with everything you could need to pull off just about any meal level. The cabin layout is very open and I loved the finely finished Bamboo doored cabinets that lined the hallway. I will definitely return next year. Note - there is a heavy canopy of trees so you may have limited phone signal as I did with my Verizon service but there were enough bars out on the large deck to allow me to tether my laptop and check email.

A beautiful experience!

This is a wonderful place. We appreciated the woodworker's creations and the house design. A place to return to, for sure.

Beautifully crafted home with a professional kitchen and ample space - perfect getaway from the city. We were forced to take a technology hiatus since i couldn't really get enough reception to be online with Verizon. We enjoyed being in a tranquil place with an excellent library and music collection.

My husband was raised on the Island. When we find out his dad’s health was in question we needed to come. I booked the property without telling my husband we would be on the Island. His great grandfather built the General Store. His cousin still runs

He did not go thru proper channels to accuse or allege "US" of damage to his floor. Please drop this matter. We asked his to show us Pictures of alleged damage he did not respond. He alleges we spilled water on floor day we left, found by Housekeeper. He alleges he has NOT been there in over a year. Floor Buckling takes weeks to months to develop and we accused of this damage the next DAY. Please Clear us of these allegations. please drop this matter.

This was a wonderful stay. The owner was very helpful. The property is across the street from a lovely beach and dock. You are nestled in the woods and we had deer in the yard.

Great vacation. Excellent location.

Our time spent here was just lovely. Jonathan was an amazing host. The property is beautiful. Had everything we needed to make our stay comfy. Check in was super easy. If you want to unplug and relax this is the place for you. We will be back for sure.

The house is lovely, open and spacious once you get inside. Great kitchen for cooking, very comfortable bed, and the deck was a delight. Make sure to bring your own coffee/tea and condiments, as there is nowhere to get coffee on the island except at the beach at Fort Flagler. We brought our dog and spent time at all the beaches - highest rated for pooches is Fort Flagler. Also recommend 'Ajax Cafe', superb meal and right off the bridge as you head inland. Definitely make reservations.

It was a perfect fit for our family of four. Our teens slept in the spacious second bedroom and enjoyed the space. The main bedroom is lovely with a comfortable bed. It is a quick walk across the street to the Bay and we loved the boats coming into the quiet bay. We walked to East Beach which was also lovely. We would return. Thank you!

We had plans... Then realized it was much nicer to sit around the cabin, listen to the radio, and cook. Truly wonderful place to unplug and the beach is a short walk. We saw sea lions and jellyfish at the beach, tons of wildlife on and around the property. We went to local farmers markets to get local food and that kitchen is set up to cook it all! Don't miss Finn River Cidery nearby, the tour there was nice too. Basically a wonderful place with tons to do, if you actually want to leave the cabin!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay in this Marrowstone home. The location was lovely. If you are looking for a cozy, secluded getaway in a rustic environment, this would be a good choice. It is a close walk to the water and you have trees surrounding you in all directions...fun to explore Ft. Flager, Port. Townsend etc. The photos on this listing don't give a full picture of the home. In addition to the master bedroom with (comfy) king bed and window into the forest, there is another bedroom with a full bed and a twin. The living room has a couch (as noted, it is broken but functional), a chair, a record player, and an old TV/ DVD player. There was a good selection of books, games, and movies to enjoy if you don't bring your own. The wood burning fireplace was cozy and my son and I enjoyed chopping wood for the fire every night, but there is also some stacked on the back porch. Because it rained for most of our stay we did not get to use the deck very much, but did enjoy time by the window seat watching the rain fall. The kitchen is quite spacious and a nice place to gather. The appliances are modern (minus the blender which was a blast from the past :-) and clean. There is a coffee maker and toaster available. If you are planning to prepare a gourmet meal in the kitchen, you might consider bringing your own knives, cutting board, pots and pans that you like, as they ones in the home are a little piecemeal. There were some basics in terms of food (coffee, oil etc) but they look to have been left by other guests. You can easily shop at the QFC in Hadlock to stock the kitchen or bring staples from home. The bathroom was fine. The shower and shower curtain were a little awkward and the towels were old, but clean. It was fun to look around at the personal touches and artwork the host has put into the home. There are some lovely examples of Coast Salish art. Something that is not pictured in the description is a rather large glass sculpture hanging by the dining room table. While it is technically very lovely, it depicts the nude torsos of a male and female. I only mention it because it might not be everyone's cup of tea and sometimes you have kids (ahem) that don't appreciate the finer aspects of nude sculpture. Anyway, it made for lively dinner conversation with my teens :-) Overall, our stay was cozy and pleasant. I think the home would benefit from a deep clean and there is pet hair present so be aware if you are allergic. No washer/dryer.

As others mentioned, communication with the owner is essential prior to arriving. We were not given check in information and had to call. Owner stated several times that due to COVID protocol no condiments/food etc in the house, which is completely fine. We arrived and there was food, condiments and drinks that clearly had been there for quite some time. Refrigerator and stove top had not been cleaned in some time, but remainder of the kitchen was nice. Also mentioned in previous post, couch is broken but we weren't in the house that often to make a difference. My biggest issue was the bathroom. There are obviously some updates made, but the shower was left "as is." There is a shower pan but no door and a weird cloth curtain. When you take a shower, the floor gets soaked. There are a lot of towels provided, which now makes sense. We weren't able to use the balcony as the furniture had not been cleaned in quite some time. On a positive note - this is a great location, and the house is very roomy. The kitchen island is a great gathering place to prep food and talk. We brought our dog and he loved sniffing around. We easily drove to Pt. Townsend, and other surrounding areas. There is a QFC close by to get necessary groceries. I think if the house was properly cleaned and the shower updated, this would be a fantastic stay.

Wonderful home with special touches including gourmet kitchen, wood burning stove and reading window seat. Beautiful peaceful secluded location and short walk to beach. Absolutely loved it!!

Overall a really awesome place with lots of nice touches! Make sure you reach out to the owner before you arrive to get check-in info. Wonderful kitchen, great vinyl selection, and comfortable bed! The sofa seemed to be a bit broken, but was functional. Great location, even saw some deer in the morning outside the window!
