The retreat provided a quiet, serene, and relaxed 5-day get-a-way for me and my wife. We are both architects and found the house to be well laid-out, comfortable and clean. It is located within feet of Liberty Bay with a direct view of snow-capped Mt. Ranier, it is a very special place. We thank our personable hosts Tom & Linda for a wonderful stay.

Property was as described and is perfect for two people. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you may need for a few nights if you elect to eat at home. A nice extra was the coffee and tea which are provided for your visit.One item that future guests may want to be aware of, this is a guest house with the main house just a few feet away. During our visit, we were the only two on property, not sure if the main house is ever occupied when the guest house is rented. Great views of Mt, Ranier when it was clear and a wonderful setting on the sound. However, the view directly across the water is of the Naval Base Kitsap-Keyport, which does have security floodlights that remain on all night. We absolutely enjoyed our time sitting in the chairs on the water, just know the naval base is directly across the sound.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Elsom

Host profile image
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.
