About the host
Hosted by Michelle Elsom
The property has been in my family for over 100 years. I am the fourth family member to have the privilege of owning this amazing spot. Our main home is adjacent to the Retreat, but not intrusive. We make preserving your privacy a priority, but we are nearby if an urgent matter arises.
Why they chose this property
What's not to love? We custom built this accommodation for the enjoyment of short term visitors to our area. We have beautiful trees everywhere, right on the water with gorgeous views at all seasons. The colors we get on the water are everchanging and remind us of Impressionist landscapes. Yachts and kayakers and paddleboarders cruise by all day. And, of course, we get The Mountain (what locals call Mount Rainier) when the day is clear, which is more frequent than you might think!
What makes this property unique
There are very few properties that can compare for privacy, beauty, quality of accommodations and environment. We would be delighted to host you.
and p.s. we have been on that 'Other STR site' for over a year now and we are already ranked as one of the top 1% of their offerings worldwide.
