Wedding Weekend
Absolutely the best place for adventures, relaxing, gathering, and enjoying our friends and family with the best views, beauty, and comfort of the PNW. We loved the 3 homes and its property. I cannot say enough about the beauty of this home and its property. No one wanted to leave, we felt at home and very comfortable there.

The most amazing stay!
We absolutely loved this property!!! It’s stunning. To wake up on the after and have so much space with the three houses made it that much more relaxing. We had the best time and the owner was so amazing to work with. We so so hope one day we will be back here. Thank you so much for sharing your space with others.

Great Estate!
We had an amazing stay at this property. There was 12 of us for a family reunion/getaway. It housed our 3 families and we each had our own separate units. It rained most days but the large main home with the hot tub had plenty of room for crafts games and hot tubing to keep the 6 kids entertained. Also the main house has an amazing chef kitchen complete with a grill, oven , steamer, 6 burner stove and even a deep fryer. Allowed us to make a feast for dinners. One of the best Vacation rentals I have stayed jn.

It's All About the Memories
This was waterfront living at it's best. From the moment we drove onto the property until we "sadly" drove away, we found enchantment with the view and the shoreline. We beachcombed for hours and played pickleball for even more. The kitchen was our gathering place when we weren't out under the grape arbor. Thank you for making a 50th wedding anniversary worth staying together forever :)

Amazing!
We had a family get together for 4 nights and this place was amazing! There were 17 of us including 6 children 7 to 3. We had plenty of room and the property kept the kids and adults fully entertained! The yard is beautiful with plenty of room to run. The beach area was a wonderful place to collect sand dollars and shells. We saw seals, otters, deer, bunnies and got a surprise visit from a pod of 7-8 orca whales! The homes were comfortable (we stayed in all 3 houses) and the facilities were perfect! While we were there our refrigerator in the main house stopped. working. We texted the contact person and the next day we had a handyman come and fix it. The people are amazing to work with and they make sure they do what they can to make sure you have what you need and are comfortable. We will be back sometime for another family gathering. I highly recommend this place!

Gorgeous Property and Surrounding Area
I don't think you fully appreciate the beauty of this property until you are physically there. We rented all 3 of the properties for a small family gathering for my daughter's wedding; we had a total of 14 people including 2 small children. Everyone enjoyed the stay. The property provided a gorgeous backdrop for the wedding. While the Victorian house is the centerpiece and very beautiful, spacious and provides the best views, the cottage and apartment are nice as well. The owners and property managers are so responsive and really want to make sure you enjoy your stay. We also loved the kayaks, pickle ball courts, and the grounds in general.

Beautiful location
We had our church leadership retreat here and it was so wonderful. The grounds are beautiful, with incredible views, and the sports court and kayaks were an added bonus. Each house has its quirks but that’s what you expect when staying in a place that’s 100 years old. The kitchen in the main house (the Victorian) was so spacious and a wonderful hub for us during our stay. Overall I heard over and and over from people staying that it was a great find!

Small covid wedding party.
We had a wonderful weekend wedding event. The property really lends itself to that sort of occasion. The beach, the views and the garden were all wonderful. The kitchen was fun to work with and well stocked. It was disappointing that the main refrigerator was not working properly but we managed. It was a hot weekend and so we appreciated the many fans that were provided for us. We were not in the house very much but it seemed like it would be very comfortable to hang out in! The owner was very prompt in responding to issues. Would stay again for sure!!

We spent a week here with a large family group. We rented all three homes which provided plenty of space for everyone. The property is beautiful and very quiet. We had three generations, and everyone had a great time. You will need to provide your own drining water. Overall, a 5-star vacation!

Fun place for a large family gathering
Our family of 12 adults and 3 kids had a great get together here. Wonderful kitchen, lots of group spaces, plus places to be quiet by ourselves too. Beautiful setting and very relaxing. The place could benefit from a little more “one the ground” oversight of cleaning and maintenance aspects. We would definitely stay there again.

This was the PERFECT place for our first family reunion with four generations from all around the states with varied personalities. It was a big enough and with such peaceful, gorgeous surroundings to allow together time and alone time for those who needed it. Pickle ball, kayaking, nighttime campfires, gourmet kitchen....all created the perfect environment! Thank you Kathryn and Cindy for creating a memorable time.

Beautiful but dirty
This used to be a once beautiful estate. We recleaned when we arrived bathrooms and floors. Lights were out or non working in numerous rooms. The straw that broke us when 5 children broke out in rashes. After taking them to a Doctor we found out it was a fungus from the hot tub. Wish I could recommend but I can’t. No response from the owner!!! 😔😐

Beautiful place, but needs lots of updates in the house.
We enjoyed our stay because our family is made up of survivors and we make the most out of any situation. The heat did not work in the main house. Though efforts were made by sending out a heating company, they were unable to fix the problem. So, there was never any heat in that house for the weekend. We made the best of it by building fires. I feel we deserve some kind of discount for the inconvenience. The spa also did not work as advertised. And remember, it was cold and snowing on the weekend we stayed. The main house was a gem in it's day and we really enjoyed the nostalgic atmosphere. The other two living quarters were much more modern and well kept, except that one of them didn't have a key in the lock box and we had to wait for quite awhile before someone brought one. It's truly a beautiful, peaceful piece of property and I can see the potential for how much fun it could be...but maybe in the summer. As the one who booked the place for my family, I was a bit embarrassed that I didn't do as well as I normally do for our family retreats. We would stay again if we knew that everything worked as advertised.

Perfect for our large family reunion
Wisteria Hollow turned out to be the perfect setting for our family gathering. We used all three residences and enjoyed the well stocked kitchens and beautiful setting with a large lawn for our multiple yard games. The kayaks were used everyday as was the sail board (surf board with attached sail). There is a well stocked grocery store about 7 miles away, so it was very easy to re-supply when needed. The balconies were so pleasant and a great meeting place to talk, relax and look at the tides going in and out. This property truly is a good example of past elegance that keeps on giving. All queries were answered promptly and kindly with follow-up to make sure everything went smoothly. We all appreciated the professional attitudes of of hostess and her helpers. Thank you for a wonderful experience ;-)
