What makes this cottage unique
The 1930's cottage reminded me of a place on an island where I grew up and fell in love with nature. A lot of love has gone into the cottage by its various owners through the years and I definately feel it when I step inside. If I'd had a stressful day and go to the cottage, a peacefulnesss washes over me. The details are charming. Outside, the old growth fir, view of the ocean, gentle breezes, lush greenery sooth my spirit.

Foxbrier
WHAT A DARLING SECRET HIDE-away. We were "over the moon" when we opened the front door. The decor made us feel as if we were in a storybook. We were delighted to have the opportunity to experience the magic of Foxbrier and to explore Poulsbo.
Nancy is a very thoughtful host and the accommodations are extremely comfortable.
A quiet cottage retreat!
We really loved Foxbrier cottage. Nan was so welcoming. She met us personality to give us a tour of the cottage. We were delighted to find fresh scones. There were so many lovely touches around the cottage that we could not not help but to feel the love and thoughtfulness that make it so charming. We had wonderful adventures hiking down to the sound. We really enjoyed our stay.
Lovely private cottage with a view.
We are a couple from Seattle and wanted a place for a 3 night getaway for the 4th of July weekend. The Foxbrier Cottage was perfect. Private, quiet, and had all the amenities we could need. Our host Jan was gracious and spent time going over the details when we arrived. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend it highly to future guests.
cozy retreat
Nan is a friendly host. She welcomed us to the cottage and gave us good tips about where to go hiking and wildlife watching in the area. The cottage is cute and cozy. It has the feeling of being away from it all but is only a short drive to Silverdale.
Relaxing Cottage Charms
Loved Foxbrier Cottage! Our host Nan was very warm and hospitable. We thoroughly enjoyed all the comforts of home at Foxbrier Cottage. It made the family wedding we attended all the more relaxing. Foxbrier was so quaint and special, thanks Nan!
Perfect NW family retreat for myself, son & daughter!
We loved all the special touches provided by Nan throughout the cottage inside & out : fresh flowers that lasted all week, shells along windowsills, quaint rowboat window boxes w/oars, composting container which was used every day, recycling box provided (I am obsessive recycler @ home), whimsical & majestic artworks by Nan herself in cleverly placed locations, beautiful quilted beddings, wide array of books in loft area and wonderful Trader Joe's coffee beans complete w/grinder to name just a few! Nan thought of everything to make sure our stay was idyllic... she surpassed our expectations!
