Excellent stay in Sequim!

Comfortable, cozy, stay while cycling on the Discovery bike trail. Great home base, so much nicer and quieter than staying in a hotel! If you're looking for a quiet place to explore the Olympic Peninsula, this is it!

Cozy and Well equipped

This was the perfect place to lay our heads after a busy day of adventuring. The hosts were very friendly and helped us with needed information and guidance. They went above and beyond. The cottage had everything that we were afraid to have not packed with us and more. Provided brochures of the area were very helpful for food options and things to do. Very clean, warm and well stocked. Communication was great! Highly recommended! We will return ... Thank you very much!

The property was beautiful within a quiet neighborhood. The apartment is small but had everything you needed with some fun extras. The hosts are very kind and had a welcome binder that explained expectations. The town had everything needed for food and dining. It is close to the Olympic National Park and may other places to visit.

Wonderful, cozy stay

We stayed here for several nights while we hiked throughout Olympic national park. All we needed was a bed and a shower, and this fit the bill. Quiet, private, and comfy.

A friend and I biked an event in Port Angeles and the Wise Old Owl was the perfect launch point. Super clean, quiet for sleeping, and the outside space to eat, lounge and enjoy made our stay. Thanks to Lisa for having us!

The cottage was super clean and comfortable with everything needed to have a relaxing time and enjoy all the sites around the Olympic peninsula. Close enough to all sites and to Seattle as well, but away from noise and stress. Great experience! Will book again!

Gateway to adventures

Not far from the National Park and other outdoor attractions, Lisa's place is very clean. We enjoyed the little outdoor setting after returning from full days of hiking. The weather was perfect so we were able to prepare meals and dine outside.

Great Stay!

We mostly used the BNB to sleep and were off exploring during the day. But it was very clean and the perfect size! There was also a patio area to sit outside that was cute. There were brochures and reading material on the area which was super convenient. We highly recommend!

Olympic National Park Quick Hit!

This property was a great location to base out of for my two day whirlwind trip to explore Olympic NP for the first time... super convenient to locations that were accessible in mid March - from Hurricane Ridge to waterfalls nearby to Rialto and First Beaches to Hoh Rainforest. Lisa was a super communicative host and ensured I had all the info I needed in advance - property was perfect for a small party and had everything needed to get the R&R needed after full days of doing stuff in the park. Would definitely reccommend and stay again!

Perfect jumping-off point for an Olympic Peninsula Adventure!

We chose this cottage because it looked adorable and it was the perfect location start for any exploration of the Olympic Peninsula. We were only 1.5 miles from the Olympic Discovery Trail and spent our days riding to different locations (Port Angeles one day and Blyn the next). The cottage was very clean and had every amenity we needed. The outdoor area was private and perfect for sitting in the sun in the late afternoon. We will definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Champion

Host profile image
Our family recently resettled from Anchorage Alaska and Renton Washington to bring our mom home from memory care. We picked a place reminding us of Alaska and at the same time still providing all the amenities needed to care for our family.
My husband Robert and I have always wanted to host visitors from around the world and this property gives us the opportunity to do that. We come from a background of diversity and respect what each individual has to offer the world.
Our need for a peaceful, relaxing environment motivated us to expand the gardens, add even more trees and finish landscaping the property.
You may hear our 43-year-old McCaw, Sebastian greeting you or laughing during your stay. He loves children and new people. He is very talkative and has a special eye for the ladies.
Our Mom may be able to greet you at some point during your stay if you are around when she goes on her daily walks. She spent her career as a realtor and loves people. Though she won't be able to say much you will know from the smile and twinkle in her eye that she is glad to see you.
We welcome you to our piece of heaven. We feel truly blessed and lucky to be able to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

This property is one acre, fully fenced with private parking. It is a 5 to 20-minute drive to almost every attraction and shop in and outside of Sequim. Port Angeles is a 25-minute drive and offers many day trips and activities.

What makes this property unique

This property gives you privacy, security, and parking as well as easy, quick access to all needed local shops or services.
