About this property

This Is The Place - Your Year Round Getaway! N. W. Living At Its Best!

This is the place - your year round getaway! Experience northwest living at its best. Summer and fall for hiking, biking, golfing, swimming, and beaching; winter and spring for downhill or cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and winter beach storms. The beauty, solitude, and spectacular views make this house a very special place to visit.

The Guest House is centrally located to anywhere you want to go - Cape Flattery, Sol Duc Hot Springs (NOTE - HomeAway Google maps has the distance to Sol Duc wrong - it is really about an hour drive to get there from here), Hoh Rain Forest, Lake Crescent, Marymere Falls, Salt Creek State Park, Hurricane Ridge, Port Townsend - all just a short drive away from your vacation oasis. Also, the Olympic Discovery Adventure Trail is only a short walk from your back door!

If spending time on a beach is your preference, Crescent Beach (a great sandy beach) is just five minutes away. This beach is one of the premier surfing spots on the Peninsula, and also offers rock climbing and tide pools. So pack a lunch and off you go for a glorious experience!

Visit the Joyce General store for a step back in time, or if you prefer to go international, a short ferry ride will take you to Victoria, British Columbia. There are also great restaurants in the area. You can't ask for more than this! Perfect for anything you want to do.

If you love the Sequim Lavender Festival, it's only a 40 minute drive from here and you don't have to pay the inflated rates in Sequim. So come enjoy the festival, then return to a little piece of heaven and tranquility!

COMFORT! COMFORT! COMFORT! You will have it here, guaranteed - 800 square feet of it, all on one level. A beautiful, quiet location backed up to State Land, where you'll enjoy views of the shipping lanes of the Strait of Juan de Fuca (cruise ships, nuclear subs, etc.) all the way across to Sooke Harbor, British Columbia. And you won't believe the stars on a clear night sky!

Tranquility is the name of the Walkers' Guest House. Total relaxation is here. Although the Guest House is just across the way from the estate's main house, the owners jealously guard your privacy yet are available for questions, if needed. The large deck is equipped with spring steel rocking chairs for your pleasure, so after you've enjoyed the many recreational activities in the area, sit back, relax, enjoy the quiet and solitude, and being a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A place that gives you a new experience, but still feels like home. Now you know why we enjoy life here, and we LOVE sharing it with others!

Guest House Bliss

Guest house was absolutely wonderful! Spacious, well furnished, clean, extremely quiet, and the view of the Strait was unmatched. Easy access to all of northern Olympic National Park, including Hurricane Ridge area, and within minutes of Port Angeles. We hope if we can return we have the chance to stay at the Guest House again. 5 stars all around.

Wonderful experience

We came to stay for 2 nights in the middle of a 2 week road trip through the Pacific Northwest. We stayed in many places, nice places on this trip, but far and away the most beautiful and relaxing was Terri and Milo’s guest house outside of Joyce. They had everything you could want available for use and such a well-kept property! Our hosts were wonderful and we loved our stay. The icing on the cake occurred after we left and discovered my daughter had left her earbuds in her room. Terri and Milo took the time to package and send them to us and even Email us details, including the tracking number, to keep us abreast of their arrival. They arrived before we got home a few days ago. Wow, thank you!

Olympic National Park Adventure

The hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating. The guest house is close to their personal residence however they truly allowed us privacy. The rental was spotless, absolutely the cleanest property we have ever stayed. The kitchen is well equipped to prepare meals and beds and linens comfortable.The location requires an approximately 30 min drive to Hurricane Ridge and 1.5 hours to Rialto Beach. Salt Creek Recreation Area is about 10 minutes away and provided numerous tide pools with a plethora of sea life. Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed this property, accommodations, location to Olympic National Park and the ease/hospitality of the hosts.

Beautiful Place Near Olympic National Park

This was the most well-stocked vacation rental we've ever stayed in. If you forgot something...they had it there for you. It's a beautiful guest house in a very quiet, serene location. We used it as home base for a couple of days of exploring Olympic National Park. Beds were comfortable. Everything was very clean. Would stay here again!

Lived a dream

For about 4 days, it felt like living a dream. Nestled in nature with breath taking views, foggy mornings with chirping birds far away from the concrete chaos. The place was equipped with everything you would need to do all the nothing you ever want 😊

It was more than we expected.

We were so comfortable that we decided we did not want to eat out! the high ceilings with large windows let in a lot of light and we were able to enjoy a nest in the forest! The kitchen was super well stocked (something we have not witnessed and have to pack extra for. Even the knives were sharp! The fresh air, the stars visible at night and there is so much to do when you are in the area. We will definately be returning for more relaxation and adventures. Thankyou for your thoughtfulness and organization!!

Amazing Lodging for Olympic Park North and Peninsula

This property is perfectly located to explore Crescent Lake, Sol Duc Hot Springs, Port Angeles whale watching (check out Pugent Sound Express Cruises) and NW peninsula region. La Push and Neah Bay also nearby. Makah Tribal Cultural Center and story World Class. Lodging way nicer than Log Cabin Resort Chalet rooms. Waaaaay way better. You can drive to lake for lakeside experience!

Quiet comfort

We loved staying at Walker’s Guesthouse! It was very quiet at night and we were so cozy in the recliners while catching some TV. Having the carport was especially helpful since we had to pack up and leave while it was raining. We got to Cape Flattery and to Olympic NP, and this was a perfect location for both of these activities. We could easily spend an entire week at Walker’s, and we would not hesitate to return. Thanks for sharing your guesthouse with us!

The Walker’s Guest House is a wonderfully private, immaculate and beautifully kept property that is stocked with just about everything anyone could ever need. We found it to be an ideal place to call home while traveling, with a location that was perfect for getting to where we wanted to visit on the Peninsula. We will definitely be back.

Off the beaten path - great getaway place

The guest house was perfect for us to get away and recharge. The property is central to quite a few attractions but not at any of them. It is quiet -which was perfect for us. We used the grill one night and enjoyed the view of the strait off in the distance. The Olympic Adventure trail is a short walk out the back of the property. I definitely would stay here again if we ever make it back to this area.

About the host

Hosted by Milo and Terri

My name is Radar. My owners think they own this property, but I pretty much call the shots! My owners are retired and live here on the property with me, but I make sure they don't bother you!

Update: January 6th 2021 at 10:00ish, Radar (15 1/2 years) quietly passed into doggie heaven after giving us 15 years of unconditional love and joy. Rest in peace, sweet little boy!

Why they chose this property

We chose to live here after searching five different states to retire to, and realized that this area was the one that always felt like we were coming home. Although the Guest House is on the same property with us, we jealously guard your privacy and try very hard not to disturb you. In fact, you may not see us at all unless we happen to step out at the same time and say howdy! We built the Guest House prior to building the main house, lived there for two plus years until the main house was completed, and it has since evolved into a vacation rental. We absolutely love sharing the beauty of the Peninsula with folks new to the area.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this property and it's peaceful feeling long before we knew it had a wonderful view of the Straits with all the shipping activity. Once the view was revealed, oh what a bonus surprise!
