Great location and beautiful home with a big backyard and access to the beach. It is a great getaway place tucked away. We would highly recommend. The only thing I would recommend is to make some upgrades in heating, wifi as one of the split units didn't work. And the wifi was weak. We were there in the winter and it was amazing - I can only imagine how beautiful it would be in the summer.

Just one ferry from Seattle and a short drive and you are in a wonderful waterside house with a view and it is totally serene.

We had a beautiful stay at the quite quaint old house which was what we hoped. The beautiful windows in the dining kitchen and living room did not disappoint to look out at the hood canal and watch boats sailing by or just birds. The weather stayed pretty good for us. The house is few minutes away from the beautiful historic port gamble which has beautiful stores and an amazing restaurant. Paulsbo the little norway was 15 minutes away. This is also drivable to port Townsend. The kitchen is bare minimum so if you staying in cooking do come prepared but otherwise highly recommend this place for a quite getaway.

If you are looking for serenity and peace right on Liberty Bay—this place is it—with 180 degrees of waterfront views and a private beach and fence for dogs. My stay coincided with Geoduck fishing coupled with getting to see a real submarine trolling around above water during my stay. While the home is in Poulsbo—it is actually .9 miles from the cutest little town on the face of the planet—Port Gamble, WA. Port Gamble, not Poulsbo, is your closest amenities for food and coffee. Butcher & Baker is the most delicious little restaurant in Port Gamble, and be sure to also stop in and say hi to Josh at the little coffee kiosk in the same parking lot. If there are no cars behind you in line, he’ll chat you up and become your new, local best friend. Port Gamble General Store & Cafe also offers full coffee service and delicious foods and specialty provisions. If you have an EV—the Poulsbo Electrify America at Walmart is your closest fast charge. A caretaker does live on property.
