A beautiful space
Michelle’s place is quite nice (medium to higher level finishes), very clean and feels and looks really new. She is so thoughtful and provides many basics like laundry soap, shampoo and conditioner, spices, oils and really nice kitchen equipment and pots/pans (which isn’t always the case with rentals…) and THREE ways to make coffee (I prefer a French press and there was one there!!) You are even greeted with a basket of snacks upon arrival - a very nice touch! She respects your privacy completely, but is very friendly and so helpful if you reach out to her. My impression is that she is a really great human being! Just a Note - the space is a little on the small side. The bedroom is quite small and it’s even a little bit hard to get around to the far side of the bed, but the bed is super comfortable, so it’s not such a big deal. The only TV is in the bedroom - not an issue for us as we were out and about from morning until later at night, but I thought I should mention it in case someone was wanting more space to hang out or the ability to watch TV in the other room. Another note is that the front porch is really beautiful to hang out on, to drink coffee in the morning, or if you are not out and about, I could see reading a book there. If the weather is good, this adds quite a bit of hanging out space in a beautiful environment.

Perfect place to call home for a few days.
Visiting the state of WA for the first time and Michele was the perfect host and the house was the perfect place to stay. Everything we needed was there. We grilled steaks on the grill. And greatly appreciated the washer/dryer as it made packing for the trip much less. The bed was super comfy, the shower amazing. Not sure what else I can say other than if you are thinking about renting this DO IT! You won’t be sorry. Thank you Michelle!

Wow! Just! Wow!
This is the second time that we have stayed in this marvelous home. We will keep coming back because it is the perfect getaway. Michele is the perfect host with her attention to details that make our stay nothing short of spectacular. Few things in life are as luxurious as saying on that deck and looking out at the forest for hours. We were fortunate to have perfect weather.

We wanted to relax from all responsibilities and Michelle’s little hideaway was perfect for just that.
It had all amenities needed, was within a short jaunt to gather supplies or see sights.
It is beautiful and quiet. Loved our time together there.

This was the perfect base camp for our adventures. Everything we wanted to do was within and hour and a half drive. Fun during the day and relaxing evening on the porch. I’ll definitely stay here in the future for two person trips. This is an excellent location at the end of a dead end and close to town. Incredible views from the porch.

Excellent host & property!
The house is in a great location for exploring Olympic National Park - close enough to provide access to the beaches and trailheads, and just out of the way enough to provide a relaxing place to come back to and enjoy the view from the porch in the evening. Michele is friendly and accessible, and has thought of everything to make the stay more enjoyable, and the house itself is cozy and fully loaded. I loved my stay, thank you!

Beautiful private getaway next to a forested drive.
This was the perfect central location for our adventures in the Olympic national park! We enjoyed hiking, beaches and waterfalls and returned to our quiet property to enjoy a meal on the porch or by the firepit. It was wonderful to be 2 minutes from town but feel like we were in a cabin in the woods. Loved it!

Hidden gem
Charming home in a peaceful setting centrally located to everything Olympic National Park. This lovely home was so welcoming to come back to after a full day of incredible hiking in Olympic National Park. For a short excursion visit the Elk Creek Conservation Trail just one mile down the road. Extremely clean, with great decor, this home had everything you could possiblly want and then some. Michele has provided all those little touches that make you feel well cared for and pampered. From a very thoughtful basket of snacks to enjoy to coffee, creamer, water, refreshments awaiting in the fridge to all your needs in kitchen, bath and laundry. Even though it is a small house, it does not feel that way - Michele has made use of every space and provided plenty of storage. Great place to create special memories!

Great little house
This is a small house and quite tight in some areas (bedroom, fridge area), but it has everything you need to be comfortable. They even had a basket of snacks to enjoy! Great outside covered deck area with reclining chairs with a view of the mountains. You can also sit on the chaise sofa with a cup of coffee and look out the windows at the same scenery. 10-15 minute walk to the river. 3 miles from downtown Forks.
