I frequently camp with my family in that area. This was the first time staying in a rental like this. The place was beautiful, clean and alot bigger then I originally thought. It was perfect for my family and was in a great spot near most of the fun things around there. I would definitely stay there again if I get the chance!

Great Stay
We spent month at our place and had a great time. There was some issues which were quickly addressed. The property was quiet and private. The location was super in that it was close to the Fort Hadlock, Fort Flattery, Port Townsend, grocery stores, and other beaches, The house was laid out very well, and comfortable, We enjoyed sitting on the deck were we saw some deer and a barn owl landed right railing very close to me. I am sure you would enjoy staying there no matter how long

Private house in the woods
I would highly recommend this vacation rental for anyone who likes quiet and privacy. The house itself is very cool, roomy and a great design. The beds are very comfortable . The photos in the VRBO site do not do it justice. Marrowstone island is wonderful, with several great public beaches that are not too crowded. Nice place to hang out for a few days.

Beautiful hideaway
Great location in a beautiful spot. The home is comfortable as well as unique with lots of beautiful wood work and art. You can feel the generosity of spirit, pride and love that went into building the place. It is not an anonymous vacation home. Great place to get away from screens and decompress. Loved the vinyl records, books/games and proximity to the state parks and general store. Spotty internet and cell coverage may be a negative for those that need to stay connected. We did have some challenges getting the check in information in a timely manner, but mistakes happen and it felt like an honest oversite. Overall would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet get away in a lovely part of the Olympic Peninsula.

Perfect hideaway
For my family, this house was the perfect location for exploring nearby forts and state parks. The house was spacious and in a charming setting surrounded by dense woods. We saw gray owls and deers daily. The driveway and property was a bit overgrown, but for me, that just added to the charm. Any cons were minor. A previous person had left windows and doors open, so there were alot of bugs indoors when we arrived (moths, mosquitos, spiders, ants, and even a few wasps) but that was no fault of the owner. The only other oddity we noticed was that the sleeping arrangement didn't quite match the description; we didn't see the listed sleeper sofa or futon--only a couch that was not a pull-out type. There were some broken lamps that need replacing. But none of that put a damper on our stay. Overall, I loved the house and the location. The host, Jonathan, was quick to help and pleasant to deal with when we needed directions (and that was only because the VRBO listing had the address wrong by 1 digit). My family had a nice time and I would definitely consider staying at this property again.

Absolutely lovely little house in a secluded forest with a beautiful fire pit. Wish there wasn't a burn ban so we could have had a bon fire. The house is wonderful and there's a great set of casettes to listen to

Perfect quick getaway from Seattle!
We took the ferry from Edmonds and it was less than 100 miles round trip. You can tell this house was built with a lot of love and that's the vibe you get right away when you walk inside - loved the bench seat in the window! Great space for families or a get together with friends. Super close to two state parks (Flagler is awesome for kids) and our dogs loved it too!

Beautiful Cabin, Great Location!
Family of 3 + 2 labs (1 geriatric, 1 < 12 months) had a wonderful stay here. Really lovely home, set back from the road and nestled in the trees. Super close to the Fort, which provided us days worth of beachcombing adventures for kiddo and pups. We had trouble a little with the internet; will download any media we want to our devices in advance next time. Oh but the kitchen is A++. We were easily able to cook a pretty elaborate thanksgiving dinner. Really enjoyed our time here!

Relaxing little cabin near the sea
Very relaxing and comfortable cabin across the street from Mystery Bay and a short jaunt down to East Beach. The beds are comfortable. One room is set up with a king-sized bed and the other is with a full and a twin. The host was lovely and easy to get a hold of. I really liked the record player. One thing to be aware of is that this cabin doesn't have wifi and cell reception was a bit spotty - it was fine in the driveway and elsewhere on the island.

Uniquely & warmly Rustic
For dog owners this spot was ideal. The home is set well back from the road with room for my two dogs to scout around without close traffic to worry about. To enjoy all the parks be sure to buy a WA Discover Pass which you can get at Fort Flagler entrance if you arrive from out of state like I did. Fort Flagler was great with long beautiful well-maintained walks but also included great side trails through the woods which my dogs loved. East Beach park was very close and a wonderful walk at low tide. Kayaking in Mystery Bay on a sunny day was a bonus. The kitchen is ready with everything you could need to pull off just about any meal level. The cabin layout is very open and I loved the finely finished Bamboo doored cabinets that lined the hallway. I will definitely return next year. Note - there is a heavy canopy of trees so you may have limited phone signal as I did with my Verizon service but there were enough bars out on the large deck to allow me to tether my laptop and check email.

Marrowstone House
The house is lovely, open and spacious once you get inside. Great kitchen for cooking, very comfortable bed, and the deck was a delight. Make sure to bring your own coffee/tea and condiments, as there is nowhere to get coffee on the island except at the beach at Fort Flagler. We brought our dog and spent time at all the beaches - highest rated for pooches is Fort Flagler. Also recommend 'Ajax Cafe', superb meal and right off the bridge as you head inland. Definitely make reservations.
