Welcome to Harbor View Guesthouse, an airy one-bedroom, two-story former artist’s studio with a view of Eagle Harbor, across the harbor from historic downtown Winslow, on beautiful Bainbridge Island.
Sip an exceptional glass of wine and watch the osprey from the private deck with a water view, sketch the landscape under the shade of a big-leafed maple in the garden patio, create your own haute cuisine in the full kitchen, or tuck into a good book on the comfy sofa in the living room of Harbor View Guesthouse.
Across the street from the waterfront, a short walk to water access, to the beach at Pritchard Park, to the bus lines, and just a seven-minute drive to the Bainbridge ferry and downtown Winslow, Harbor View Guesthouse has room for you to spread your wings, yet surrounds you with an intimate gracious comfortable ambience.
With water views from all but the bath, this fully-furnished guesthouse sleeps 5 (queen, twin daybed, roll-away, inflatable).
Perfect for an executive’s retreat, a romantic escape, a stress-free weekend away from the crowd, for “gap stays” during a remodel or a month’s vacation. Recharge here. Watch the harbor come to life in the morning and the light of the setting sun paint the water.
Take a deep breath. Relax. Come home to Harbor View Guesthouse.

Why the Owner Chose Bainbridge Island
The vacation rental is a converted and extensively remodeled artist's studio, once home to the manufacture of lines of neo-ethnic personal and household accessories in fiber, clay and metal. We converted the space for ourselves during a remodel to the main residence, and decided to share its comfortable ambiance with others.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Relaxing, quiet, natural location with filtered view of Eagle Harbor. Watch kayakers and rowers on the harbor, the interplay of osprey and eagle, light and shadow as the sun dapples through the gardens. Sip an exceptional glass of wine on the deck, add a day to your memoirs in the garden patio, write the first chapter of your best-seller in the study, create your own favorite cuisine in the full kitchen, or tuck into a good book on the comfy sofa in the living room of Harbor View Guesthouse. Close to two local parks, water access, bus lines, and just a seven-minute drive from the ferry and downtown Winslow, Harbor View Guesthouse has room for you to spread your wings, yet surrounds you with an intimate gracious ambience.
Waterfront park with long beach and walking trails. Also includes Nidoto Nai Yoni, the Nisei Memorial, marking the departure point for Bainbridge Island residents who were interned during World War I
just a 7-minute drive from Harbor View Guesthouse

Honestly, your guesthouse is the most relaxing place we have ever stayed. You have not forgotten a thing as far as accommodations!! We discovered Bainbridge Island about 6 years ago and it is the most peaceful and quiet spot on earth! We have hectic lives in California and this is exactly what we deeded. Thank you for creating this for all of us people lucky enough to find it and enjoy it. We will be back!
