I hope that other Air BnB users find this review and learn what a wonderful find Jana's cottage…read morewas. The cottage itself was cozy, homey and well maintained. The harbor is right out your front door and provides spectacular views of the Puget Sound. You will be within 5-10 minute walking distance of all downtown Port Townsend restaurants and shops. Jana was an excellent host. She lives right next door and always responded quickly to our needs. We will definitely book again next year.

You shouldn't believe any negative reviews- we addressed these concerns with Jillian (who is the…read morenicest, kindest host you've ever met) and previous tenants were causing issues, and wrote misleading reviews. Dabob guesthouse was fantastic, well equipped (with great knives). You need to know when you stay at a beach in the northwest that these are not Hawaii sandy beaches, these beaches have shells, it is completely unmolested by typical overcrowding. If you are as interested in a real getaway as I was, you should consider talking to Jillian, she is incredibly knowledgable about the area, kind, hospitable, friendly, and she obviously treats everyone like family.

We rented a beautiful appointed home, " madrona splendor" for a week with our family of 8. The home…read moreis in a beautiful setting. We watched eagles, seals, kingfishers.. From the two decks. Comfy outdoor furniture and wine chilled in the wine fridge made it perfect. I enjoyed the many features in the kitchen, from chilled drawers and warming drawers, wine fridge and double ovens. But I wish I would have brought my own knives. The master bedroom was comfy and the 4x8 rain shower was refreshing. What we found extremely disappointing was the lack of a sandy beach. The beach was full of very sharp oyster shells and rocks, some 16 inches high. This was a big concern since our grandkids are 3 and 7. Even with shoes we all have sliced ankles. Thankfully the next door neighbor told us we could use the beach in front of his house which we did. After three vacations around the canal, the grandkids are asking for a lake vacation. Guess grandpa and I will enjoy the canal properties ourselves..... That's a good thing! ;-).

As we moved our luggageup the stairs we noticed a gas mixed with pond stale odor it was in our room to brut we could not open our windows, it was 6 so we decided to go to dinner, 8:30 We arrived to see the powerwashing in full swing, we now asked if he's almost done she Jeanette said well we have to get it done we rented it for one day. Three story house one day? Really ? And then she said did you want me to have called you and told you your anniversary trip was off ? I got the feeling we were expected to say no... the back area we parked and found wet moss and dirt everywhere a gas smell so bad we coughed it was now give my wife a headache. Pond smell was everywhere and the deck on our back porch was green and slippery. We could not open the windows on the front side of the house it would let in the sound of the powerwashing and exhaust from the spray and power washer was a mix. They stopped at 9:45 pm after I said it was not making my wife happy, Jeannette said you said it would be ok, I said yes if it was cleaned up and turned off, well you said it was ok really ment don't complain. Well now we can open the windows ... Well little issue no screens we soon found mosquito to be our new room mates, great swat swat. I headed to a bath as the jetted tub was the reason my wife loved the place. I filled it up hot and cold to perfectly suit and got in, ,then big mistake I turned on the jets and black and brown crud of every size with some hair my wife shreeked get out! Ok there was a shower also so I turned on the shower and washed off. It's now 10:30 I went down stairs and told her, she said go ahead and take off if you want. It was something someone added to it, no I said I it was improperly cleansed. Potting my finger in the jets sides more was stuck to the sides. She said we will refund your money but she now wanted us out that night. I told her that it took me time to put my wife to sleep I was not going to wake her. She said fine I understand. Next morning we were fed under cooked eggs and asked to stay another day. I told her no to many times she then said well you stayed the night so then she was going to charge us the 180.00 Yep we paid it and left. In my opinion she rules the roost Steve her nice husband is great and I do think they are very overwhelmed in this business as we were the only guests can you imagine all 5 being occupied? They need a manager and cleaning person, her husband can't do it all. And it's worth 50 a night if your not picky. We did not raise our voice we talked to her at length after breakfast as she asked us is there anything she can do to keep us there, I'm not kidding the powerwashing started up. No we left.

I stayed a week at the Langley Motel. The staff is friendly and the motel room very clean. The…read moremotel is located in walking distance to the town's local businesses/restaurants and several theaters. The only negative about the room I had was the tiny shower. Other than that, it is a perfect place to stay, and the price is very affordable. Also, a great way to support local businesses. I would recommend.

After reading some of the negative comments visitors to Port Townsend should keep in mind some…read morethings about the town, people and community: - Port Townsend is an eccentric and eclectic hippie community that moves at its own pace; timelines are not linear around this part of WA - The walk from Morgan Hill to downtown goes relatively quick and is quite nice if you are not on "city time". Take in the charm of a small community, the beautiful Victorian homes and wild deer that surround you. Opt instead to take the staircase that connects Uptown and Downtown vs. the Monroe St. hill that runs directly into downtown. While on your way to the stairs swing by Aldrich's for a cup of coffee. I would encourage anyone that has had a negative experience to reach directly out to Ann with your concerns. Port Townsend's main economic driver is tourism. All B&B owners in town are sensitive to visitor experiences in the area and want to make sure all of them are positive.

We came to Port Townsend (FAVORITE) town for a 4 night getaway and found Morgan Hill Cottage…read more Which is LOVELY (earlier negative reviews were left by naturally always cranky people IMHO). It is a jewel of a cottage - warm, cozy, comfortably appointed. Feels like home - not impersonal as a motel or hotel. Easy access to everything, Ann is gracious and welcoming and we were most reluctant to leave.

Stayed here for 4 nights shortly before Labor Day…read more Pros -Cute cabin in easy-to-find location -Close to the water -Nice decor and layout Cons -Human and dog hair on the bedsheets, which had clearly not been washed before we arrived. Whomever was doing housekeeping just made up a dirty bed and called it a day. Gross under any circumstances, but inexcusable during a pandemic. -The bathmat was dirty as well. I threw it in the washer/dryer along with several towels because I no longer trusted the cleanliness of the linens and it came out looking brand-new and almost unrecognizable from what it was before. Yikes. -Missing some very basic-level necessities in terms of dining, cooking, and baking. No wine glasses, one lonely mixing bowl, one tiny cookie sheet, everything else is jumbled together in one big drawer with lots of sharp pointy things that no doubt hundreds of hands have touched. -Everything is technically clean but it's very surface-level, lots of dust and crumbs in spots, including the coffee table. Again, it's a pandemic. You couldn't wipe it down before the next guest? -If you're looking for the coffeemaker, you will find it in the hallway closet near the front door. No idea why it was put there but guessing it's because housekeeping can't be bothered to clean it. My husband and I didn't find it until our second night. If you love your morning coffee then you know how annoying this is. NOTE: I am not a clean freak and I hate leaving negative reviews without contacting first. I tried to contact Mysty Mountain Properties before leaving this review of Vista View Chalet but the phone number on the website was disconnected and the backup phone number led me to a voicemail which told me to text them with my problem. I did so, but they never responded back.

The LEAST you could do is to notify the customer who is set to arrive in the middle of winter that…read morethe power is out and no generator is available. That is the LEAST someone who is in the hospitality business could do to ensure that the guests who have paid a large sum to stay at this dirty old cabin don't freeze to death in the cold. But, we got to the cabin thinking everything was fine, drove family in tow to Leavenworth then to our cabin to find out power is out and has been out. Fine, maybe they didn't know? Fine, then next step should be for a full refund. Because I sure did not pay to camp out with no power near Stevens Pass in the middle of December. But nope, that's too much to ask too. So we drove back home, 3 hours at 9 pm where we had a warm place to stay. Then came back to Stevens pass since we had already booked our lift tickets. Do yourself a favor and don't stay here. We opened the door to find not only no power but the stench of stale old body odor. The management is a joke and apparently customer service is not in the vocabulary. As a business owner and also someone who is in the rental industry these people should just quit before they ruin any other holiday plans for another family.

It is hard find on the web even knowing it's address, which is probably why there was space. We rented the room, apparently there is also a guest house that was already taken. Very nice room filled with artworks of many kinds, quiet, reasonable price, and the owner was easy to find and quite pleasant and helpful. Breakfast is an option we didn't choose. There is a cute garden filled with the owner's sculptures for reading. The backyard has chairs with a great view out over the water and surrounded by striking scuptures, lavender, and even a small hen house. One detail - if it's very hot, leaving the windows open at night is a problem because the town chooses to blast hourly church bells even in the middle of night!? This would be a problem for any B&B on the bluff. I hope that was a temporary set-up, what a bad idea! It is about 5 blocks from the coastal downtown, an easy walk along the top of the bluff.

Do not stay here if you want a good night's sleep! I know it's not the owner's fault, but the…read morehourly church bells are completely obnoxious. We thought, "surely they will stop after midnight!" But nooooooo..... slept like 30 minutes all night anticipating the next dinging session. Also, we didn't get breakfast and wanted it, and didn't know whether to ask or not. Felt a bit awkward. I would have liked some breakfast from the happy and fat chickens in the back yard but was not asked :-(( All in all, would not stay again. It was lovely and clean but the noise was too much. Also, no TV in the small room which would have been a nice distraction to drown out the bells and the continuous police sirens, motorcycles and car horns going on. Again, not the owner's fault at all, but I have had quieter nights on Broadway in NYC. Good in a pinch! :-))

Just my humble opinion mind you. Gus gets a small bag of high quality hand made cookies with his name on it. He gets a blue pillow to his size and his own water and food dishes are provided on a doggy mat. Also included are number of doggy's towels for tidying up! It's a comfy peaceful nights rest for all three of us. An important pet rule; although it should be common sense if you're a responsible pet owner: "don't leave your dog alone in your room!" Service at the front desk and housekeeping are genuinely friendly and accommodating.
