About the host

Hosted by Michelle Elsom

Host profile image
Welcome everyone! We hope to see you soon. I grew up in Spokane and have been in Kitsap county for nearly 30 years. We recently sold our sailboat (25 years of sailing the Salish Sea) and fulfilled another dream of traveling and camping in our Pleasure Way Sprinter Van. Our own travel experiences (both near and far) has given us a passion for providing great hospitality. Our tiny home, the Magic Lantern is our expression. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The Magic Lantern is a piece of land you never want to leave. So comfortable, so open feeling and a really well made tiny home on a small knoll. It comes alive at night with the glow of the lighting and all the outdoor decorative lights. Everyone loves it. The property is amazing and filled with very large cedars and Douglas firs. The trees are fantastic and home to deer that we often see. 2 acres of private property, includes a RV site at the bottom of the hill.
We are just a couple of blocks from Penrose Point State Park. This gorgeous park provides beach access and easy trails with spectacular views. Don’t miss a visit here.

What makes this property unique

Our guests describe their visit with words like- peaceful, private, beautiful, soothing and relaxing. Everyone mentions the very large cedars. Most people see deer, numerous birds, otters, bats. Remember we are wooded and bears, coyote, cougars and bobcats also call this area home. Conveniently located by Penrose State Park for hiking and beach access (clamming when in season!). Bay Lake has natural and stocked fish. Trails in many areas and several places for your kayak launch. Only an hour from Hood Canal and the start of all the Olympics have to offer in the area.
