"We loved this tiny house! We were surprised to find so many kitchen staples in the cupboards and weren't quite sure if we were supposed to use them. We really didn't need to, but I think we would have had we been there longer. Clarification on this might be helpful. Nice to know if hot chocolate mix was okay to use. Very clean and comfortable living space, with lots of light and easy windows to open for a pleasant breeze. The wrap-around porch and swing were lovely places to drink our morning...

However, if you are looking at booking there are a few things to be aware of: There is no beach access from the property. The pictures we saw on the booking site seem to be older - there are two camper trailers parked (seemingly long-term/permanently) directly in front of the property, so it is not secluded and alone...

"Great location, close enough to Seattle but without Seattle prices. Room was clean and quiet and front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was surprisingly good and included juice, coffee, waffles, omelettes, cereal, yogurt, boiled eggs and fruit. Ample parking with wide spaces. It is pay parking but with in and out privileges which was convenient."

"My friends and I booked with the Olympic View Inn as part of our Forks-Port Angeles-Victoria weekend and we had a great time. While it was true that we had a lot of driving ahead of us given the distance of Sequim, we always looked forward to getting back to the Inn at the end of a long day. The staff were kind and helpful, and they were great in letting us know about the annual Lavender Festival that our trip happened to fall on. Do keep in mind that the Inn is not a hotel chain, but overall I highly recommend booking with the Olympic View Inn for your Olympic Peninsula adventures."
