The Garden Room Retreat: Affordable Studio Getaway

Relax in a spacious mountain-view studio apartment surrounded by a one-acre garden, in a semi-rural setting. Wake from a refreshing night's sleep on our King-sized Tempur-Pedic to a warm golden sunrise streaming through lace curtains, as you enjoy a steaming mug of coffee. Close to all the lavender farms and quaint shops of Sequim, the Olympic National Park and the ferry to Victoria, B.C. Perfect for a romantic getaway. And great for a small family on an adventure.

The Garden Room is in the center of everything people come to the Olympic Peninsula to enjoy. The Olympic National Park & ferry to Victoria, B.C. are just 15 miles away. All of Sequim's quaint shops and lavender farms are within 5 miles. Less than a mile from the main on/off ramps to U.S. Highway 101. Kid-friendly. Our comfy sofa-bed will accommodate two kids, PLUS we have a big play-structure with tube-slide and swings (see photos). The Garden Room is just right for a family of four...or a romantic getaway for two.

Enjoy our full kitchen and bathroom. Set up your laptop on the desk. 48” LED Smart TV with over 100 FREE streaming and local channels. FREE high-speed Wi-Fi. Charging stations and a power-strip for all your devices. Enjoy the electric fireplace with the most realistic 3D flame technology in the business. It puts out cozy heat, all in a beautiful oak mantle. We even provide free eggs from our own chickens.

The Garden Room is attached to, but completely separate from our home. It has its own entrance, and a thick firewall separates the two structures. It is self-contained and private.

We couldn't describe it any better than one of our guests: "You've thought of every comfort needed...We recommend you become the model and spokes-people for how to provide for VRBO/HomeAway accommodations and providers. You and the Garden Room are among the very few "perfect" experiences we've enjoyed throughout the world!" - E.N.

Comfort/Ambiance:
- Bright sunny room with lots of big windows and large sliding glass door.
- Lace curtains and pull-down shades for privacy.
- Full-size desk. Set up your laptop or write postcards.
- Tempur-Pedic King bed with memory-foam topper...VERY comfy.
- A comfortable full sofa-bed...suitable for up to two children or one adult.
- In-room washer/dryer.
- Enjoy the electric fireplace with the most realistic 3D flame technology in the business. It puts out cozy heat, all in a beautiful oak mantle.

- Walk through the yard & gardens, feed the chickens, watch deer, quail, hummingbirds, and enjoy the mountain view!

Technology/Entertainment:
- Keyless entry...no keys to carry. Just use the simple 4-digit code we'll give you.
- High-speed Wi-Fi.
- White-noise machine. Six relaxing sounds designed to mimic the natural environment: White Noise, Thunder, Ocean, Rain, Summer Night, and Brook.
- 48” LED HDTV with over 100 FREE streaming channels and local TV.
- Charging station and power-strip for all your devices.

Kitchen:
- Full-sized stove & fridge, microwave, toaster, and all the cooking utensils you’ll need.
- Kitchen table with one leaf for expandable seating.

- The basic staples: salt, pepper, coffee, creamer, teas & sweeteners (white sugar, organic cane sugar, natural raw turbinado, organic Stevia).
- 6 eggs fresh from our own chickens.
- Fruits & veggies from our orchard and gardens in season.

Location:
- Less than a mile from the main on/off ramps to U.S. Hwy 101...your gateway to all the adventures of the Olympic National Park and North Olympic Peninsula.
- Olympic National Park & the ferry to Victory, B.C. are both just 15 miles away.
- Walmart, Costco, Ross, Safeway, local farm store, restaurants, galleries, churches, lavender farms, and downtown Sequim's quaint shops are all within 5 miles.

Nice quiet space in Sequim
Gorgeous home and apartment, owners were kind and by the upkeep, notes, and provided amenities, very clearly care about the hospitality of their guests. Great spot for a quiet stay on the peninsula. My partner and I enjoyed the chickens in the backyard a lot too :)

Warm and cozy getaway
We had a fabulous time for our 37th wedding anniversary weekend. Packed full of Pizza @the Roosevelt, the Olympic Game Farm, Salt Creek Recreation Area, Railroad bridge park and quiet dinner in. The Garden room was so nice. Impeccably clean with everything we needed. Be sure to bring your own plastic wrap/foil and olive oil if needed. Thank you for the memories made. 😇

The Garden Room was perfect for our quiet Valentines getaway. The space is bright with lots of windows while also being private and cozy. We woke to dear grazing in the yard and enjoyed the fresh eggs from the chickens on the property. Easy to get to dining and groceries.

A place a chemically sensitive person can stay.
Very quiet and sweet location surrounded by little farms. I'm very sensitive to artificial fragrances and cleaning chemicals, especially fabric softeners and air fresheners. Thankfully Stan and Margie do not use these kind of products. It is so hard to find these kind of places anymore. I wish more hotels/motels and vrbo's and airbnb's would do the same!
