Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2011
I have been teaching Kindergarten in Forks for 19 years. The families and community are remarkable. I would love to share this amazing community with others. Once you have experienced this way of life it is easy to understand why someone would use Forks as the setting for a series of novels/movies. My husband and I raised a son in Forks and attribute his success to the lifestyle he was afforded here.
Why the Owner Chose Forks
We bought 2 lots a few years ago and decided to put a new house on them this year. My husband and I lived in Forks for about 15 years and 3 years ago we sold our home and moved to Port Angeles for his career. I have been commuting to Forks to keep my career as a teacher here. I just couldn't leave my students, their families and my co-workers. While the commute is a beautiful one the time in the winter can be exhausting. My husband and I decided we needed a place for me to stay in the winter on occasion. So, we have a fully furnished new home that I stay in when it is not in use by visitors. It really is my home away from home too!
The Unique Benefits of this House
The peace and relaxed lifestyle that Forks offers is unique. I can walk on nearby ocean beaches, drive thru the rainforest, walk on nature trails or just enjoy the mountain views. The hot springs are also a special treat for unwinding in. The convenient location of my house allows me to walk to all major necessities. I can grab a cup of coffee and walk to work or the park. The Mexican restaurant and Jt Sweet Stuffs is right across the street from my backyard. So, if I don't feel like cooking in my wonderful little kitchen I can grab a bite to take out or dine in without having to drive my car.

We stayed in this house for 3 nights. The house is brand new and it has everything you need for a vacation plus fully equipped kitchen. It is conveniently located in middle of Forks, close to everything you need there and to the attractions on that part of the peninsula, and offers a very comfortable experience. We were a party of 4 adults and 3 kids and still there was enough space to host us comfortably. Overall this was a great experience and I highly recommend this property for anyone staying in this area Btw we are not twilight followers and we haven’t arrived there to for that reason...the area itself is beautiful and you can have great time even without the twilight experience :-)
Owner response:I am so happy to hear you were comfortable in my vacation home. My goal is to make sure that every guest feels at home. The positive responses from my guests make me want to do even more to ensure a pleasant stay for all. You and your family are welcome back anytime. Thank you for taking such good care of my new home.

My husband, sister, and two children stayed at this home for a night, as we visited Olympic National Park. If possible, we would have stayed longer, even if it meant driving a distance to see the entire park. It was a lovely experience. It was such a relief to come in, tired, and find a cozy, immaculately clean home with comfortable beds to sleep in! I would highly recommend this vacation home to anyone needing a place to stay.
Owner response:I wish you could have stayed longer too. Please come back again. I loved the way you took such wonderful care of my home. I am glad to hear that you found it cozy and the beds comfortable! You are welcome back anytime. Thank you, Laurie

My family includes my husband and I, our 15 year old son and 13 year old daughter. We loved the location of this home since it was 1/2 block from downtown Forks! right behind an ice cream shop with wifi! I loved that it was a wifi free zone, we were on vacation! Everyone we met was really, really friendly and nice and would stop and chat. The mexican restaurant was excellent also! The house was large enough that we all had a place to go to get away from each other for a while which with teens, is important! The location was excellent, we hiked and visited the Hoh rain forest, Ruby Beach, Cape Flatterly(so pretty!), La Push, etc. My daughter loved staying right in Forks...we watched the Twilight movies on DVD and then walked around after dark....remember, she's 13! I would definitely stay again...if I can just get the family to come back next year!
Owner response:I am thrilled to hear that my home worked out for your vacation needs! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of it. I love sharing my home with such respectful families. You are welcome back anytime! Thank you again, Laurie

Our family of two parents and three young adult children (two were home on break from college) thoroughly enjoyed staying in this vacation home. The home appeared brand new, and it was spotless. One of our daughters has food allergies, so we appreciated being able to cook most of our meals in the kitchen.Three bedrooms was perfect for us; we slept in one room, our son in another, and our two daughters in the third bedroom. The owner did everything she could to assure we had an enjoyable stay. Our only concern was that the house has no wireless internet. Actually, the owner told us we could find wireless internet at other local sites and we took advantage of that. I found it relaxing to not be constantly in touch with everyone. We came to visit Olympic National Park and Cape Flattery, and found this home a convenient base for our travels. I would recommend this home to any family wanting to stay near Olympic National Park or who is interested in the "Twilight" town.
Owner response:I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. It makes me very happy to know that families like yours are able to feel comfortable in my home. It sounds like the WiFi issue was not too terrible for you. With so many locations that offer free WiFi and one just across the street, I am reluctant to add that into the costs to operate my vacation home. It sounds like you took great advantage of our wonderful sight seeing opportunities. Thank you for treating my home so respectfully! I appreciate having guests like you. Thank you, Laurie

2 night visit to West End with son & DIL

Review Submitted: 06/19/11
We rented this house for 2 days while our kids visited from out of state so we could visit Olympic National Parke, especially the Hoh & the beaches. Great location. Our son got up at 5 both mornings to fish the local rivers which are very close. Close to everything of interest. Home is well stocked and very comfortable and we enjoyed it very much. Thought it had wi-fi, but doesn't but only across the alley from the Sweet Stuff store which offers free wi-fi. My son is hoping to do it again in Nov during steelhead season. Great communication with owner. Within easy drive to: Olympic National Park, Rialto beach, Hoh rain forest, Kalaloch, Lake Quinalt, Ruby Beach, LaPush, Port Angeles. Forks is about 3 hours from Banibridge ferry from Seattle.
Owner response:I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. It sounds like your son took advantage of the great fishing. Thank you for leaving my home in such good shape. I am sorry about the confusion with the WiFi. My home is so new that I have not been able to get that hooked up yet. I am glad you found the free WiFi across the street. There are several places in Forks that offer it and one location has it available 24/7 in their parking lot. Hopefully, by the time your son returns for more fishing I will have it available in my house. Thank you again for choosing my home and taking such good care of it. Best, Laurie

As the first customers to this rental home, we thought we may not find all things we would need. But we did find more than what we needed. Full Kitchen with all utensils, coffee, comfortable bed rooms, playing cards, especially the back yard which is more spacious and we really had fun playing in there most of the time. Kids had fun in playing in the back yard too. The weather co-operated, we did spend sometime in the nearby beaches and lakes. There was a grocery shop and subway nearby. The owner is really awesome. She did answer to my emails promptly for all the questions/clarifications I had before our stay. We really enjoyed staying in Laurie's rental home. Thanks much Laurie :).
Owner response:Thank you so much for the nice review. Being my first guests, I really was excited about your arrival and wanted everything to be special for you. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed making things as perfect as possible for you. When I talked to you on the phone it made me VERY happy to hear what a good time you were having. I loved the way you took such good care of my home! I hope you come back again. Thank you for making my first experience in renting out my home such a positive one! Best Regards, Laurie
