Amazing stay!!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed—especially for staying with kids. From toys and games to kid-friendly spaces, it made our trip so much easier. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus, and the garden was beautiful and peaceful. The location was great, just a short drive to the Olympic Game Farm, which was a highlight of our trip.Our host, Lisa, was wonderful—very friendly and responsive whenever we had a question. We truly felt at home and would absolutely stay here again!

Nice location, very clean, well stocked

We had a great stay at Lisa and Robert’s cottage. Very well stocked, clean and easy to communicate with them. I was very touched to receive flowers, balloons and wine as a birthday welcome! Daughter loved the upstairs hang out area, hot tub was wonderful after hikes. (The waiver that’s required to sign is 4 pages which threw us a bit.) We would stay again if in the area or recommend to others, for sure.

Beautiful bungalow in Sequim

I stayed here with my teenage daughter and one of her friends. We loved making root beer floats, visiting the chickens, and the over all comfort of the house. It was a great base to explore the town, Dungeness Spit, and Hurricane Ridge.

Beautiful, clean, and spacious!

This place is definitely one of the best VRBO's we have ever stayed at! 3 bedrooms, nice size kitchen and family room, and plenty of parking. We enjoyed the hot tub every day after hiking. It is quite a drive to most of the Olympic National Park sites but the place itself was wonderful!

Nice place to stay

The property was very nice. Great views of the mountains, and we saw several bald eagles fly right over the property. Near everything, but far enough out side of town to feel remote. Hosts were very accommodating. We will be back next time we visit the area.

Excellence!

This house was perfect for our stay! It was very clean and in a good location for everything we wanted to go see / do in the park. We have never stayed in a house that was so well stocked as this home! They left us a bottle of wine AND ingredients to make root beer floats. Such a sweet place to stay with chickens, a hot tub, and lavender plants!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Champion

Host profile image
Four years ago, our family resettled from Anchorage, Alaska and Renton, Washington to bring our beloved mother home from memory care. In searching for a place that mirrored Alaska’s quiet strength and natural beauty, we found ourselves drawn to this special pocket of Sequim.
Here, we have created a haven that nurtures peace, comfort, and connection—a space that supports our family and invites others to feel at home. Hosting guests from around the world has always been a dream of ours, and we are deeply grateful this property allows us to share our corner of the Pacific Northwest with travelers from all walks of life.
We come from a background rich in diversity and have a deep appreciation for every unique story and culture. That spirit shows up throughout the retreat—from the expanded gardens, and fruit trees to the lavender fields. Our pet chickens and ducks roam freely, offering a charming glimpse of life at the retreat, and our 43-year-old McCaw, Sebastian, may greet you with laughter or conversation—he’s especially fond of children and ladies!
This is more than a place to stay—it is a labor of love, created with intention and care. We feel blessed to welcome you to our peaceful sanctuary and honored to be part of your journey.

Why they chose this property


When we searched for a new home to bring our mother back from memory care, we wanted a place that offered the peaceful feeling of Alaska, yet was close to the conveniences and community activities that nurture family life. This little corner of Sequim instantly felt right—quiet, safe, and beautifully situated between majestic nature and the comforts of town.
Our property sits on a fully fenced one-acre lot, offering privacy and space while remaining just minutes from everything. Whether you are heading to Olympic National Park, exploring local shops, or strolling through Port Angeles, almost every attraction is within 5 to 20 minutes. The proximity gives us the best of both worlds: tranquility at home, adventure around the corner.
We also fell in love with the neighborhood’s welcoming spirit and natural beauty—it inspired us to expand the gardens, plant even more trees, and create pathways full of native plants and fruit trees. It is not just a place to stay—it is a place to breathe.

What makes this property unique

Wise Old Owl Retreat offers guests something rare: a peaceful haven nestled in nature with fast, easy access to every corner of the Olympic Peninsula. The one-acre property is fully fenced for privacy and security, yet centrally located—putting nearly every shop, service, trailhead, and coastal town within 5 to 20 minutes.
But what truly sets this retreat apart is the warm, welcoming energy poured into every detail:
• A garden sanctuary with native plants, fruit trees, and a lavender field.
• A children’s playroom thoughtfully stocked for safe, carefree play
• Fresh eggs, seasonal fruit, snacks, and touches like Philosophy Beauty products, extra toiletries, and even fixings for root beer floats
This home was lovingly created to care for family and guests alike—with heart, comfort, and connection at the core. It is not just a place to stay… it's a place to breathe.
