We rented this house for some of my family members to stay in during a family wedding weekend. The house was comfortable and mostly clean, and well stocked with everything they needed. My stepmother commented that the mattress in the master bedroom was so nice that they were trying to find out what kind it was so she could get the same one back home! The soaking tub in the master was very nice, too. The rest of my family shared the upstairs bedroom and bathroom, and everyone was able to get to the church on time for the wedding in Port Gamble, another nice place to visit while you're in the area.
The house is conveniently located between the shopping/dining area in Winslow and the Norwegian town of Poulsbo, and we spent time in both places. It is easy to find, and the long driveway gives privacy. The grounds are very pretty, and the upstairs bedrooms all have access to a deck. The owners provided lots of local information, too. The neighborhood is nice for walking, and it is very close to the Bloedel Reserve-- we didn't have time to visit, but if we come back for a less structured vacation, we would definitely stay here again and take advantage of more of what the area has to offer. As it was, we did eat at several restaurants-- Harbour Public House and Treehouse Cafe on Bainbridge, and the Wood Fired Pizza place (not sure of the exact name), the Green Light Diner and Sluy's bakery in Poulsbo, and we would recommend all of them!
My dad was happy that he could watch football games on TV and we also had HGTV on for a while, so everyone was happy.
The layout on the main floor is open-- kitchen, dining area, sitting area and pool table share one large space. There is also seating out on the deck, which we didn't really take advantage of because of the weather.
I'll bet this would be an awesome place to stay during better weather, when you could really hang out on the deck and the beach and have fun in the water. We had rain and colder weather, and we still enjoyed this house.
The owners were responsive when we had questions.
Yes, I would recommend this house.
