About the host
Hosted by Susan Gall
Longtime travelers opening our first rental on the ground floor of our home in Port Angeles. We have tried to add every comfort and amenity that we missed in all the vacation rentals we have stayed in. We have furnished our unit for your comfort and convenience.
Why they chose this property
We have lived on and visited the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic National Park with our family for many years. Our family retreat sits on 17 acres with views of trees, mountains, and visiting deer. We are eager to share the Peninsula's many natural wonders with visitors from around the world.
What makes this property unique
Deer Park Retreat is a secluded and private rural adventure. It is located in the Olympic Rainshadow, a small area of the Olympic Peninsula protected by Mount Olympus from weather coming off the Pacific Ocean. We consistently get less rain and brighter skies than the rest of the Peninsula and Western Washington.
While very private, we are only 2 miles from Highway 101, the main east-west thoroughfare across the Peninsula. We are about 10 minutes from eastern Port Angeles (Walmart, Safeway) and about 20 minutes from Sequim (shopping, lavender fields, game reserve). We are close to an entrance to the national park, 50 minutes to the top of Hurricane Ridge or Lake Crescent, and 1.5 hours from Washington's wild ocean beaches and the enchanting Hoh Rainforest.
