    It clearly hasn't been cleaned in ages.

    It was the worst possible AirBnB we've stayed in, I think the owner was aiming somewhere between shabby-chic and rustic, but didn't care that her place was actually dilapidated and filthy. The very first sign of trouble was the "resort" itself. Tracie calls it a "resort", but to us it looked like a hoarder's paradise. It's closer to a backyard full of old tires, a broken-down boat way past it's prime days, and just... junk. Tons of junk. Everywhere. The next warning came in the way of a rotting, moldy front door. We were hoping that the peaceful, quiet setting would make up for the utterly filthy place so we decided to just give it a try. After all, we traveled 2100 miles and had been planning this for months. Boy, did we regret it! This place is advertised as a treehouse, but it's actually not. While the balcony overlooks the Sequim Bay, the windows look right into the road, which is literally 4 feet away. So, while you're trying to read, have dinner, sleep... not only does the engine noise of a passing car wake you up at 1 am, but it's headlights shine right in the living room and your face. Not our idea of cozy and peaceful. The next morning, we woke up to a clogged toilet that just wouldn't flush. It was suggested that we try the plunger, which for some reason they were storing in the kitchen. That didn't work, neither did the effort of their maintenance guy, so a plumber had to be called. When he eventually arrived, he did what he did, but imagine trying to be on a work call while he's grunting with his ass crack in your face. So, wide awake and in daylight, the reality started sinking in. The place was just... disgusting. It clearly had been a long time since the fridge had last been cleaned and trying to use the microwave was a gag-worthy experience. Not only was it just... filthy, encrusted with caked-in splatter, but there was also a plate of rotting food inside. That didn't prevent Tracie from charging a cleaning fee and pretending to adhere to Enhanced Cleaning Protocol in order to be compliant with AirBnB's requirement. We then tried taking a shower. "Tried" being the key word, as the water heater was just not working. We had been gone for hours, obviously not using any water, but when we tried running the shower, the water was barely lukewarm, and ran out before one of us could finish showering. Tracie shared that the heater was only 30 gallons and suggested we should conserve the hot water, but we found it impossible to conserve something that wasn't there in the first place. I suggested to Tracie that considering the size of the heater, it's probably crucial that it actually works, but she didn't seem to care much. When we continued to press for some sort of resolution, she told us, at 10pm, that she could just refund us so we can move elsewhere. She suggested a local casino hotel nearby, but completely glossed over the fact that by then we were approaching midnight, not to mention... if we wanted to stay at a casino hotel, we would have booked a stay at a casino hotel. I told her that unfortunately this is unrealistic and I suggested we reconnect in the morning. The next morning, Tracie was conveniently quiet until I poked her again and asked for someone to fix the heater so we can shower. She said they can't do that, and suggested that they move us to a different "suite", or whatever the hell they call those... things. I told her that we have work calls all they long, and we can't really ignore our responsibilities so we can pack and move into a place that we knew nothing about, there were no pictures of that we could see, and ultimately has nothing to do with the "unique" "treehouse" we thought we were booking. I didn't just tell Tracie "no". Instead, I made a considerable effort in trying to explain why we can't just move, and that, sadly, she had put us in a situation that there was just no way out of. I don't know if she was genuinely trying, and was just couldn't understand why all of her suggestions were ludicrous, or if she was being malevolent in her pretending to offer something she knew no reasonable person would accept. Either way, the sheer number of failures as well as their nature made us feel that she is squarely to blame for this utterly bad experience

    SMR has become a staple in our self care regimen. We discovered it close to ten years ago and have been coming back once a year or so since. It's become "our spot". We got engaged here, bring our dogs here, spend holiday weekends, celebrate birthdays, introduce friends, and recently brought our son for the first time. There is no doubt we will be returning guests for a lifetime. My hubby and I live in Seattle. SRM is close enough for a quick getaway and far enough to feel like an escape. It provides a peaceful sanctuary from the city to rest, recoup, and restore our sanity. Simply put, it's a heaven. Tracie and Lavon could not be sweeter (or more badass). Ladies, thank you for sharing your blissful oasis with us all! Xoxo The Bakers

    My boyfriend and I have stayed here twice now and can't wait to get back. The Landing is our favorite cabin but we have toured them all. This is the ideal to place to kick back and relax. The cabins are all situated in a way that you don't really notice the other guests. The owners are great, very nice and respectful. The first time there, Lavon gave us a tour of all the cabins when we were scouting places for my boyfriend's sister's wedding. She ended up choosing a place on the peninsula but my boyfriend and I returned here shortly after the wedding because we liked it so much. On the return trip we met the other owner briefly, she saw us out for a walk with our dogs petted them and then we didn't see another soul again for the remainder of our stay. Staying here is like staying at a family member or friend's cabin. It's homey, comfortable and feels lived in. Each cabin has it's own unique decor and feel. They are clean but not hospital sterile. If you're looking for an on-call front desk and team of staff waiting on you, this isn't the place for you. If you want a place to marvel at your surroundings, breath in fresh air, and enjoy some piece and quite with your dogs, you won't find a place better than this.

    Ignore the poor reviews on this place. It changed ownership in August of 2009 and in a single weekend, has become one of my favorite places to stay in Washington State. The Boat House couldn't have been more idyllic. Simple and basic while stylish and cozy, decorated with hip and homey retro furniture and stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. The bedrooms aren't fancy, but are rustically romantic, and at night you can hear the waves splashing underneath you. If you're looking to escape to a relaxing, peaceful oasis by the sea where you can sit outside on a sheltered porch with a glass of wine and watch the sunset, this is the place for you.

    Originally booked the 130pm half day sea kayaking tour online. Received a call the next day saying…read morethe 130pm tour was already full for the next few days (not sure why it let me book online then). But luckily I was able to be flexible and switch to the morning tour (they gave me a day's notice). The staff on the phone said it would be much less windy anyway...which definitely turned out to be true and I was so glad for it bc it would've been chilly otherwise! They're doing great on the Covid safety measures as much as possible. Instead of parking at the office and riding a bus to the bay, they just have you either follow the guide in his vehicle with the kayaks or give you an address/coordinates for your gps. It was easy to keep up with our guide. Everyone wore masks until we got into our own individual kayaks. Very easy to practice social distancing in this setting! The office was very easy to find, right off the highway and even has a winery right next door (and was highly recommended by the host at my inn). Plenty of parking everywhere we went. After a brief safety talk and bit of equipment orientation, we launched from a rocky beach in Freshwater Bay and went out into the Strait of San Juan de Fuca. It was absolutely gorgeous weather - sunny and calm and a perfect temperature. The water was insanely clear! We saw jellyfish and kelp crabs and all manner of birds! We even sampled a little bit of the kelp haha! Our guide, Chris, was so knowledgeable and he made the tour interesting and really fun! There's even a little cave you can swoop through if you have one of the smaller kayaks! I highly recommend you bring sturdy water shoes and waterproof camera!

    Absolutely amazing! We kayaked on Lake Crescent and had the best time. Everyone at the shop was so…read morekind getting us ready. Our guide was so much fun and very knowledgeable about the area.

We're both from the prairies so seeing sea stars, seals, crab, eagles, and even boats was pretty exciting for us. Excellent fun and we plan to do it again!

At the Silverdale location, they've done away with the little mobile truck that would appear during summer months in the waterfront parking lot and now have a permanent booth down the pier. They only offer sit on top style kayaks (and stand up paddleboards) at this location, likely to cater to a more user and family friendly experience. If you've never been kayaking sit on tops are super stable, easy to get in and out of and don't have that feeling of confinement. The downside is you're almost guaranteed to get wet while paddling. In years past they offered recreational style sit inside kayaks at this location (closed tops with adjustable pedals etc.) which is what I was expecting when we arrived and when I asked it sounds like these might still be available in Poulsbo if that's more your jam. First come, first serve, the gals at the booth were super friendly and helpful and they are happy to store your wallet or small bag behind the counter for you. The nice part about the permanent booth is you no longer have to drag your kayak down the beach to the water, it's tied right there at the pier. Reasonable prices for not having to store, load or haul a kayak of your own from home. They also offer a discounted rate for 'military days' similar to a family night or matinee pricing. I didn't see this specifically advertised on the website just posted on the booth so it might be worth a quick walk down the pier to check their current specials. We snagged the $5 off yelp deal and enjoyed a beautiful morning on the water and Olympic Outdoor Center could not have made our experience any easier!
