We had a glorious 4-day stay at the Compass Rose with our family of six. Our kids loved sleeping in the loft, and we loved the privacy of the downstairs bedroom. Lots of space in the kitchen and family room. We all enjoyed the hot tub, and watching wildlife around the property. Close enough to Sequim and Port Angeles, but feels like you're in a secluded cabin. We would highly recommend the Compass Rose for families looking for a private retreat.

This house was perfect for what we needed during our visit to Olympic National park. It was well stocked with cooking supplies, towels, and blankets. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of hiking. We loved that deer came right up to the house!

Olympic National Park Visit

Our family of four found the Compass Rose to be a good spot to stay while we spent several days exploring Olympic National Park. We saw deer in the yard each day and our kids really enjoyed the hot tub! This property offered a nice feeling of seclusion, and having a washer/dryer was a big plus for us.

A peaceful haven on the Olympic Peninsula

Our whole family loved this house & its surroundings. We all slept so well on the comfortable beds and loved the fact that this property is situated on a beautiful piece of land, but is still only minutes from Port Angeles and the park. The hot tub on the back patio is not to be missed. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need to prepare meals & the stereo system provides great music which adds to the ambiance. LOVED this place!!!

A Great Getaway

The Compass Rose was spacious and its location was ideal for a getaway from everyday rush. It boasts of magnificent views of the mountains nearby. They have the best-equipped kitchen!! I thought it needed more clothing and personal item storage. Otherwise, it was great for 4 people!

Wonderful vibe

This place is fabulous and has the most lovely vibe. It was a great spot for our girls' weekend. Loved the fireplace, loads of natural light and comfy living area that was perfect for catching up over wine. Loft dwellers...be extra cautious on those ladder stairs, especially when making nighttime treks to the first-floor bathroom! :-)

Just what we were looking for

The place was beautiful and just the size we needed on our little outing. The location was perfect for getting away from the city life and stargazing. Though, I would have really liked a safety gate with how steep the stairs were for the loft. We really enjoyed our stay and the owners were reasonable for their check out and cleaning process. 10/10 great vibes all around.

About the host

Hosted by Frank Crippen

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Cameron and welcome to the Compass Rose. This house was built by my family and friends. I am currently out sailing for myself and for others. Please feel free to enjoy my home while I am out on adventure. I hope this will be a great stop on your life's next great adventure. While I am away my friend Frank will be your host. He has been living and exploring the Olympic Peninsula and the world his whole life and is a great source of for anything you need on your next adventure

Why they chose this property

My family had a vision for over 30 years of a family compound where we could live and share a beautiful natural environment. They travelled the Pacific Rim, New Zealand and Canada in search of that place. When they found this place over 10 years ago it felt like they had found our place.

The Olympic Peninsula provides a remarkable natural beauty of almost every sort. We climb mountains and get into areas with pristine glaciers and lakes and see bear and goats and deer, and a huge variety of birds. We love to find waterfalls that few people have found and explore the rainforest mysteries summer and winter. We surf the waves as we explore the beaches which have unusual pinnacles and formations, and we collect driftwood and bask on the white sand. We take our family picnicking on the beautiful clear rivers where they often catch Steelhead or Salmon. Skiing and snowboarding and several winter sports are a big attraction. And always, we make sure visitors get into the exceptional Olympic National Park.

What makes this property unique

What makes this cabin unique?
We take great pride in the home we offer to you with meticulous detail. I designed the Compass Rose House and my family all built it together. Some refer to it as 'elegant camping' since you feel like you are almost out of doors with the openness the home has to all the surroundings. You have all the luxuries for truly comfortable living; excellent beds and linen and great cooking facilities--even the best of organic local herbs.
Our specialty in life has been to enjoy and appreciate nature and to help others have that passion too. And that is witnessed in our lovely property and the beautiful homes we have blended with the natural environment. For those who want privacy, we provide it. For those who want a serene and restorative Northwest experience, we provide that. Our homes are surrounded by meadows, with majestic trees lining the edges and wildflowers. We have tried to make nature available and enjoyable out of every window and from every deck. Our hot tubs are outside so you can view the stars. You can see the Olympic Mountains in all their array from nearly every window. We want to touch people, to leave a lasting memory of enjoyment and rejuvenation, to have an infectious experience that compels them to want to pass on the importance of our natural resources to everyone.
