Quick Trip

We were visiting family and just needed a bed near their home. This little cottage worked perfectly. Cozy, quaint, secluded and quiet. Had everything we needed. Had a little trouble getting in but host answered promptly and helped us solve issue. We will stay here again.

Nice stay in this cottage! As has been stated previously, access to the second bedroom area is precarious. We were fortunate that we didn’t need that extra sleeping space.

A decent stay in Manchester

Overall, we enjoyed our time here. The kids really loved the upstairs attic space with the extra beds. The immediate area was nice but getting to the places we really wanted to see took at least an hour no matter which way we sliced it. Check in was easy and the lock PIN coded, so we didn't have to mess around with a key. Nearby grocery shopping allowed us to make use of the kitchen which seemed to have most things we needed for our meals. We did find they left a couple board games there and my wife and I did play. All that said, there were some downsides to this place as well. I'm not sure how often the owners check on various things at this place or bother to fix little things. Their dryer vent leading to the outside of the house was completely blocked at its exit and I was able to clear it so the dryer could actually dry clothes and not be a fire hazard. A few essential kitchen gadgets were missing, primarily a pizza cutter. The Wii upstairs didn't play any of the discs and I performed some basic troubleshooting but alas, could not fix the issue. Finally, the shower drained VERY SLOWLY. This should be an easy fix for homeowners and I'm really surprised that some of these basic things were not tended to prior to our stay.

Tucked away cottage

This is a cute cottage that is on a very pretty wooded property. It is small but fit all 5 of us with kids sleeping up in the attic area! The outside sitting area is very nice and private. The kitchen is pretty good space, but this property is not really set up for eating a lot of meals in. The shower in the bath is lovely! We were comfortable and enjoyed our stay!

Great hideout for short stays

The cottage served as the perfect spot for family who were in town for a couple of days. The primary access to upstairs is through a drop-down set of stairs in the ceiling. I wouldn’t recommend older adults or heavier individuals trying to navigate the drop-down stairs. The owners provided a key for alternate access through the external stairs, which was much easier. Would stay again.

Adequate

The bed downstairs is very comfortable. Overall I have no huge complaints. The freezer in the little fridge is kind of gross. My son said the bed upstairs was very creaky and the air was set at 57 degrees when we got here. He also was disappointed that the Wii doesn't work. I would probably just get rid of the Wii so as to not make it seem like it can be used. It was okay for the price and for a place to sleep for the night.

Family Time

Cute Cottage with Character. The loft (with 2 beds) can either be accessed from outside stairs OR inside pull down stairs. Modern Shower & Tub. Heaters in wall and the 2 sunlights and French doors perfect! Kitchen Appliances (minus dish dishwasher appliance) run great! To save money we cooked/baked/grilled. Also nice to have a washer & dryer too! The cottage is located off the road way and secluded. Peaceful with birds chirping. Last time we visited Bremerton we stayed at the nearby Hampton in by the ferry. Hampton was nice especially their breakfast BUT we saved money by renting this cute cottage full of character!

Nice retreat

This is a nice tucked away property in port orchard. It was helpful to have a full kitchen with oatmeal and full dishes and we enjoyed having a big breakfast one morning and Thai take-out one night. Our young adult daughter had an upstairs bedroom which worked well (pull down stairs could be tricky for young kids yet there are outside stairs to get up as well). Thank you to our kind hosts!

Quiet and serene get away

We enjoyed our stay here. The location was peaceful and very quiet. The bed was comfortable and the shower attachments were FANTASTIC!! I liked the coffee counter where cream, sugar, and flavors were available. The loft upstairs would be perfect for kids. The kitchen was just ok. It seemed very commercial but functional. It had a full-size refrigerator but it was old and had an older smell to it. I would recommend this place to others though. Thank you

Cute little country cabin

My son & I stayed while he finished out his senior year after selling our home in the area! Was a nice, quiet stay (other than the neighbors rooster! 😂) Property owner was very helpful when the internet went out and my son had online classes, he had it quickly fixed and back up running! Also allowed us to use the full kitchen which was so nice to have! And the pair of ducks that waddle around were very entertaining!

Quaint but room for improvement

I've stayed in many vrbo's and was most disappointed with this one. It is cute but missing out on so many details. We arrived in the dark and there is no exterior lighting. We walked on wet grass without a path using our flashlights on our cell phones. The motion detector came on 5 feet from the door. No water in the 3 foot kitchen area. We had to get water for the coffee pot out of the bathtub. The bath tub by the way was great! There was no trash bags in the garbage cans. No TV channels. Wrinkled sheets with a mattress pad that had lint balls on it that you could feel thru the sheets. The upstairs loft room was accessible by attic stairs. No padding under the carpet so when you crawled around up there it was rough on the knees. Not all bad stuff, but when you pay more than a hotel plus a deposit... you should have some amenities

Comfortable but Durty

Cottage was comfortable, but disappointed in the cleanliness. Shower curtain needs to be replaced (far too dirty to wash) , rusty shelf at the bathroom sink needs replaced and tub and sink needed cleaned, and finally the bathroom floors. Be prepared to walk in wet grass down to the cottage. There is no paved walkway.

Great quiet location. Easy access to everything in Port Orchard, Bremerton and Seattle

The twin creeks cottage is a great little place to getaway from it all and have most of the creature comforts of home. While it doesn’t have a full kitchen it has a hot plate, tea kettle, coffee pot BBQ and refrigerator. We were able to make some of our meals and enjoy several restaurants in the area. Our host was very nice and aside from welcoming is when we got there was very respectful of our privacy. I love the Port Orchard area and can’t wait to come back
