Even record-breaking heat couldn’t spoil the loveliness of Sycamore Retreat and our family fun. Two grandmothers, four parents, and 4 children ages 3 -7 had a great time. The hot tub became a great pool for the kids and as the day grew to a close the grounds and waterfall, lily pond and fish were enjoyed by all. Nearby Bainbridge Parks (Fay Bainbridge and Battle Point) and Port Townsend and Fort Worden Park were big hits. I look forward to a return trip! B. Bryant, Seattle, WA (August, 2009)

Four couples came together to celebrate a 56 year old and a 30 year friendship. What a great time we had playing golf, enjoying the waterfall, and eating gourmet meals. Your home is wonderful and oh, so comfortable. Your kitchen is stocked with a lot of great things for cooking. We hope to return and will tell all our friends of a great stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the Sycamore Retreat. This was our 9th annual Nichols’ Family Trip, but our very first one in Washington State. The surroundings [at Sycamore] are just beautiful and the house really fits wonderfully in this environment. Thanks so much for the lovely memories!

A wonderful family holiday venue. Sycamore Retreat was a fantastic place for our family to spend 2 sunny weeks with family friends. The house is conveniently placed to explore Bainbridge Island, the Olympia Peninsula and all the other wonders of Washington State. We were able to visit Seattle several times and the ferry rides always gave us something new to look at whether it was fog or sea lions swimming in Puget Sound! The house lived up to the web site and was even more amazing, especially to us London Brits! We enjoyed the space and quiet and the wildlife that came to visit. We felt like we were in a Disney movie when deer came visiting along with chipmunks who played just outside the window! We even enjoyed occasionally hearing the cayotes howling in the middle of the night! The kids loved exploring the grounds of the house (look out for the secret bridge and statue who must be offered a coin for safe passage) and we all had fun trying to play badminton. The only down side was the very long walk to the trash cans from the kitchen, which were at the opposite end of the house!! The house was beautifully equipped and Kinam and Eric made us feel very welcome with fresh flowers and a welcome hamper. If we had any problem or queries they were always happy to help. There were also lots of lovely soft towels and toiletries for us to use as well which we found very thoughtful. We were especially touched by the effort made to make the house more accessible for our disabled son. However the property is not really suitable for a fully dependent wheelchair using adult. If you are looking for a great american breakfast in Kingston don't forget the Firehouse Restaurant, Poulsbo has lovely old world Norwegian charm with great restaurants and shops to browse, and don't miss the chance to visit Pike Place Market in Seattle...our teenage daughters were so excited to be able to visit the first Starbucks cafe and we all loved seeing the wonderful fresh produce, beautiful flowers and listening to the street musicians. We also highly recommend a visit to Port Townsend which we all thought had a fascinating history and was very picturesque. We found Sycamore Retreat to be exactly that; a beautiful retreat with lovely gardens and flowers which are lovingly tended. Anyone who chooses to stay at Sycamore Retreat will have a great holiday experience just as we did. Mr.& Mrs. D, London, England (August 2009)

I have stayed several times at the Sycamore Retreat and always leave feeling revived and relaxed. As soon as one walks in the door, surrounded by the tranquil view of the pond, expansive lawns and protected by lush forest, I’m able to forget my busy, hectic, urban life! Not only is it relaxing for families, but it’s also a great place for organizations to have team meetings and retreats – only a short drive from Seattle with the feeling that you’re miles & miles away in the woods…I can’t wait to go back!
