Short walk to town
Rental quaint and cozy. Well appointed in an older home. View of the bay and marina unsurpassed. Very short walk to downtown. Downtown was fun with a terrific accessible waterfront and great galleries restaurants and shops. Much mote fun than a motel room.

Perfect Spot
Carol was extremely communicative and accommodating. She has a wonderful place. You can see the peninsula and marina from the bedroom window, it was beautiful! We didn't use the sauna which was a big regret. The place is literally 5 minutes walk to the town of Poulsbo. Breweries, wine tasting, famous bakery, bars with great food cool shops. It was great. Will 100% want to come back.

Great place to stay!
Booked this during a short trip in the area, was the perfect place between Seattle and Olympic National Park. Very spacious, was very neat and had an amazing view from the bedroom of the water. Plenty of entertainment provided as well from tons of books, dvds and streaming. Carol was a great host and if I’m in the area again I’m definitely booking this same location!

Don't let the exterior fool you. When you pull up it looks like you're in the wrong place because it just looks like someone's home. And it is upstairs but when you check in with the helpful sweet lady you're directed to go down the driveway below where it opens into an amazing apartment. All the amenities you could possibly think of are there not just little tiny hotel shampoos but full size bottles of expensive stuff. And on and on. Is well stocked with everything you might need. We plan on going again and again. Poulsbo is a pleasant quiet little town down in this area. In Old Town you can see many shops and feel very comfortable and safe. The time we were there it was very quiet and soothing. Just what we needed to relax for our anniversary. Book this soon it's a wonderful place.

Always a pleasure
First of all, the stay is just lovely. Quiet, beautiful lookout of where the marina. Beautiful in any weather. My husband and I get out to stay the night or two at least a couple times a year if possible. It is a sanctuary. Carol is so friendly and almost always will greet us very briefly as she's going out for her walk and we're coming in to stay. Always a smile. Everything clean and fresh, right down to the little candy dish that she replenishes with a variety of thoughtful little treats . Just love staying here.

All about the location and views!
Stayed here with my significant other (SO). Restaurants and shops were walking distance. The room includes a sauna which we sadly never used, but the big bath tub was large enough for my SO to hop in with me (he's 6'3"). Views of the water were wonderful and soothing. The room was quiet, I didn't have any issue sleeping through the seagulls squawking early in the morning but they woke my SO (we had a good laugh about it in the morning). The only downside was that the wall AC unit really struggled (I believe that day there was a heat wave). We opened a window in the evening and moved a fan near the window, and it was fine (note that the AC issue isn't something we brought up to our host; it was wonderfully cool to us in the evening with a window open, and therefore this was a non-issue).

Thank you for staying. Sorry for the air conditioner unit. It started acting up late August right during our heat wave. I'll be getting a new one before next summer!

This was our second stay at this property, and it is by far my favorite place in Poulsbo. So roomy with separate sleeping and living spaces, and also a nice deck outside. A short walk in one direction to the downtown shops and restaurants, and a short walk in the other direction to a couple small parks with waterfront views. We’ll be back!

This was our second stay and we're ready to book again. As parents of six, we need a little peace and quiet now and then. We've found the perfect place to get away from it all. The view from bed includes the marina and snow-capped mountains. It's pretty exceptional and our new home away from home. I slept ten hours this last stay! Yes. It's a true getaway.

There's Nothing We Would Change
This was our annual mother-daughter weekend and one of our most favorite places we've ever stayed in! As a cozy extension to her home, our host Carol made sure to include all the delightful little comforts one would miss by staying in a generic hotel room--blankets and throws, books and DVD’s, a Himalayan salt lamp, flowers on the back deck, sparkling clean, cute eclectic decor, and complete privacy. From a dreamy autumn view of the misty marina in the morning, to the generously sized bathroom to the unique marble table food prep area, we couldn’t think of anything more we needed. I appreciated that there were plenty of comfy spots to sit and relax, with numerous areas to plug in and charge phones and electronics. It was perhaps a little too comfortable as I was tempted to just curl up all day with a good book! But, coming and going was a snap with electronic entry so we didn’t have more keys to juggle. It is in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, but amazingly, under a 5 minute walk to the waterfront park of “Little Norway” with walking trails, restaurants, bakeries, coffee and gift shops so parking issues were non-existent. We didn't even get to enjoy the wooden deck out back with a splendid view of the bay, or use of the exercise equipment that was so thoughtfully provided in the enclosed porch. Needless to say, the unbelievable bonus wood sauna right in the living room just put it over the top after an exhilarating day hiking through magnificent conifer forests on the nearby Olympic Peninsula and driftwood-laden beaches on Puget Sound. A big thank you to Carol for the great communication and warm welcome. I wouldn't change a thing, other than staying longer the next time!
