This place met all of our expectations and more. Dena was amazing to work with and so very helpful. Her place is beautiful and very well maintained. I have already recommended it to some family friends who may want to go to ONP next year.
Thank you Dena for providing such a pleasant and clean stay for us

We recently stayed at Dena's home during a weekend trip to the Olympic Peninsula. The house was very cozy, with great indoor and outdoor lounging spots. The kitchen was perfect for cooking, the heated floors in the master bath were a nice way to wake up, and the creek sounds were a wonderful soundtrack for our relaxing weekend.

House was great! Big Ranch with long deck all around the back overlooking a creek. Big kitchen and big dining room table plus lots of sitting space. Location was close to Hurricane Ridge and Lake Crescent.

For our group of six, the Retreat was a perfect base to explore Olympic National Park (including its beaches), Port Angeles and Victoria. The house was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and appliances, equipment, etc. of high quality and labeled so as to make their use easy. Great kitchen, huge balcony overlooking a flowing creek with a Weber grill and a very pleasant firepit. We had a fantastic time, can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this property.

My husband, 3 elementary school aged kids, and i had a wonderful stay at this house near Olympic National Park. The location was close enough to Port Angeles to enjoy shopping and restaurants but fast enough out that it felt private and quiet (and a stream on property). Similarly, the location was amazing to enjoy Crescent Lake and many amazing hikes in the park. Dena was really helpful in suggesting jokes and activities that would be fun and age appropriate for our kids. The house itself was beautifully updated and very comfortable for our family of 5. Loved the kitchen, the back deck, the heated floors in the bathroom, and the fireplace!

We had a great stay here. The house is very cozy feeling and clean. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking after a long day of hiking. The beds were comfortable with nice linens. There is a nice private outdoor space on the back deck for relaxing while listening to the flowing water of the creek in the backyard. My youngest loved the play set in the yard. We loved the close proximity to Lake Crescent and the Port Angeles area.I would stay here again!

Fantastic family base for Olympic Peninsula
Dena's place was a perfect base for our group to explore various locations on the Olympic Peninsula. Communication with Dena was prompt and flawless. We appreciated her flexibility and attentiveness. The home was very clean, modern, comfortable, and faithful to the pictures. Lovely sounds of the creek just in the back yard. Highly recommend.
