Our neighborhood is absolutely void of sound pollution. It is a prefect escape to get in touch with the sounds of nature. After a fun day of outdoor activities, you can settle in for an evening with a delightfully home cooked meal, family board games, a movie on the flat screen TV or some music for light-hearted entertainment. One of the best features of our home is its location for nearby activities. It is a short drive to the Dungeness Preserve & Trail head to the world famous Dungeness Spit & Lighthouse. It is also a couple miles from the Cline Spit & Olympic Games Farm. If you're feeling adventurous there are a couple great opportunities for day trips. Approximately 15 miles west, venture to the road up to Hurricane Ridge, from Port Angeles. This is in the heart of the Olympic National Park and you will undoubtedly experience some of the most beautiful views the world has to offer and beautiful hiking trails in all of the world. Hurricane Ridge is also a wonderful location for winter activities as well...Skiing, Sledding & most importantly - SNOW BALL FIGHTS! About an hour or so from Hurricane Ridge is Lake Crescent (Glacier Blue Waters) & another easy hike to Marymere Falls. Close to here is also Sol Duc Falls and the Hot Springs...all of it a must see and do. A drive to Cape Flattery, the north western most region of the US, and a short, easy hike will take you to amazing view on the cliffs and of the Pacific Ocean crashing into the sea caves! Sequim is also home to many nationally acclaimed Lavender Farms as well as U-Pick farms and if you come in the spring and early summer, you will see that our Lavender fields are on par with the fields in the South of France…all this, right here in our section of the US. Escape to the Olympic Peninsula, take full advantage of everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer! Guest access You will have access to our entire space, including the garage, washing machine/dryer, kitchen with all eating ware & appliances. We include the necessary bathroom supplies, laundry supplies, dish washing supplies. The only area off limits will be our shed, 2 small bedroom closets & the pantry. Other things to note Our home is on a well & septic system. The well generally takes care of itself, however, you do need to be a bit more careful with the septic system. It is not difficult or very inconvenient. You just have to remember a few things. One, only septic safe toilet paper (which we will provide) down the toilets. All other hygiene products in the trash. Two, no grease, peels, food scraps down the kitchen sink. Please try to collect all those items & place in the trash. Three, no bleach or powder laundry detergent in the laundry. We will provide all the detergents you need. If you need to do any cleaning, please use the cleaning supplies in each bathroom. We've created a septic safe supply kit for you. With a septic, you want to make sure you don't overload the septic tank with too much water & give it a chance to drain out into the field. Enjoy the hot showers while keeping track of the time & spread out the amount of times you do laundry evenly over the duration of your stay. Speaking of hot water...the bathroom hot water knobs are very sensitive. A small movement gets it pretty hot or pretty cold, so be careful, especially with the younger ones. We do have internet however we are only able to get 3 Mbps due to the limitations of our internet provider. That means, you can stream a movie and have some light internet activity. We do not have any cable or satellite service as we like to use our time there to reconnect with each other and the outdoors! Please NO SMOKING in or around our property. Although we love our little furry family members, sorry for the inconvenience, our insurance does not cover for us to allow pets to stay at our home. NO PETS.
