Me, my wife and our 3 children had the pleasure of staying in the Compass Rose House for 4 nights in August 2017.
The little house is a beautiful gem and perfect for a family with kids - there is only one bedroom on the first floor and then a sleeping loft accessed by a ladder (which the kids thought was cool).
The house was very clean and well maintained and had all the comforts of home. My wife and I both like to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed, including a nice gas range and all the basic sundries we needed (oil, vinegar, basic spices, ketchup, mustard, etc.)
The area is convenient enough to town but far enough away so one could enjoy the 'country', including the peace and solitude we were seeking. Perfect.
The surrounding property and deck were perfect for us and we enjoyed the hot tub after long days of hiking in Olympic National Park. We also enjoyed dinner on the deck while overlooking the Olympic Range.
We've rented many houses over the years and this was one of the best. Would recommend this place to anyone. The owners are very nice.
A few notes:
1. While this house says it could sleep 8, I'm not sure this house would be comfortable for more than 2 adults and kids, unless two adults like climbing the ladder to the loft and sharing space with the kids. The house is perfect for a couple or small family.
2. The hot tub cover weighed a ton! I tried placing it back on the tub myself and it fell and cracked. I nearly had a heart attack with worry (lost deposit, causing damage for something not my fault). The owner assured me the next morning that lid was old, and degrading so soaking up water and they should have told me ahead of time. They refunded me security deposit without delay.
Don't hesitate to stay here - just awesome!! read more
