    We had one good and one horrible experience with Brigadoon. Several years ago we rented through…read morethem and The B&B was as described and we enjoyed our stay there for over two weeks. Just recently we rented the same facility, but they canceled it as they claimed they no longer had that under their auspices. They offered us some replacements and we chose one that ended up requiring us parentheses two people in their 70s and parentheses to walk up a flight of stairs inside a dank and smelly garage that were very steep and one of us could not handle them. In addition, the unit turned out to be much more drab and dingy than the pictures made it appear and there was no air-conditioning. We did not realize that we were supposed to click through the "amenities" and look for that fact, as it was not mentioned in the initial description. We could not stay in this unit and immediately telephoned them parentheses it took seven or a telephone calls to both the emergency number - where the mailbox was full, and the main number before somebody answered. I informed him that we would not be staying and they could do as they chose with our reservation but asked if he thought we could get at least a partial refund. He said he believed that would be possible. In short, we threw away over $1700, including the original insurance parentheses which they manage and parentheses for the stay there. We obtained alternative living quarters for our stay in Sequim. I offered Brigadoon 1/4 of the fees, again, reminding them I was releasing back to them the rental for the entire time, but they would not work with us. I will never work with this company again and I caution others in this regard.

    We visit Sequim yearly to see family and love the area, but this home had severe safety, accuracy,…read moreand maintenance issues. Pros: Great location (5/5) & responsive management (4/5). Cons (1/5 Overall, Accuracy & Value; 2/5 Check-in & Cleanliness): * Listing Errors: Advertised 3 bedrooms but had 4. No "garden" view. Just weeds. Welcome binder stated we may have to fold dryer laundry & unload dishwasher at check-in. Unannounced early morning septic truck pumping. * Safety Hazards: Yellowjackets at front door flew in my son's face. Flexing, unsafe stair tread. Unmounted smoke alarm on microwave. Fire ext. out of reach. Audible electrical buzzing light switch. Hazardous side entry down steep, narrow stairs. * Habitability: Central AC failed (cooled 2° in 3 hrs). Upstairs kids' window jammed shut (no egress). Downstairs shower sprayed across shower due to suction cup mount. Musty basement w/ live/dead bugs. Broken dishwasher rack track. Main floor window wouldn't lock.

I purchased many things from the gift shop and my favorite item (closely tied with the lavender chocolate bar) was their homemade lavender garlic salt. I used it on grilled fish and it was a restaurant worthy salmon dish!!!

Nelson's Duckpond sits in a residential area along a picturesque road. The parking was on their vast lawn and there were a few spots in the shade, which was a welcome relief during the very hot July summer. You were free to wander around the farm, partake in the U Pick Lavender option, nibble a few lavender poundcake samples at the tent, quench your thirst with some drinks, patronize the store with a ton of lavender stuff (I bought lip balm, poundcake mix, sugar, BBQ rub spices, chocolates,soap and room spray). The best part, however, according to the kid, was the duckpond in the back. The shop owner was super friendly when my son inquired as to why this place was called the "Duckpond" as he soon found out why - a turtle (forgot the name) and some ducks all share the vast huge back yard as one big happy fauna family. My son was lucky enough to be able to feed the ducks with some feed that was available for the Lavender Fest visitors. Everyone was super friendly and the grounds were very pretty. It wasn't only the lavender fields, but everything around it! I'd love to patronize their cottages next time I'm in town!

Tranquility comes to mine as the world out there gets very quiet. The nightly accommodations are extremely comfortable my wife and I sleep like babies. There is so many little details and treasures to been seen , please take time to visually experience as much you can. Their daughter Kelly runs a small gift shop on the grounds and well worth a visit there to pick up many different hand made items to take home to remember your lovely stay over. The owners are very gracious with their time and will explain where to go to explore , what to see and where are good places to eat. Ask for a behind the scenes tour to see many of their talents and passions. We are looking so forward to our next stay here. Love Donn and Janell.

    I wish I could give this place ten stars. The hosts are wonderfully friendly. The grounds are…read morebeautiful with lots of private spaces to relax. It's like a mini resort/retreat located at the edge of Sequim. Close to everything on the North Olympic Peninsula. They have only a couple of places to rent but they are really spacious and so thoughtfully appointed. One rental is perfect for families with three bedrooms and kitchen. There's even a cute gift shop. Very comfortable.

They have several units to choose from, but we chose the "Perch", which was the largest. It didn't disappoint! We didn't even use half the space! Currently, check-in is anytime after 2:00pm. We checked ourselves in and upon entering, found a spacious "home"! Divided by a set of stairs, there is a murphy bed (sleeps 2), bath & shower, dining area and full kitchen to the left. On the dining table was a lovely note addressed to us by the hosts Craig & Michelle, accompanied by a bottle of wine and a bowl of granola bars. Then, in the refrigerator, there was a nicely adjourned box nestled with yogurts, orange juice, hard boiled eggs, fresh fruit, a small bottle of Prosecco (for mimosas) and chocolate! We turned around and on the kitchen counter was a plate of local pastries! In the room on the other side of the stairs is another bedroom (sleeping 2-3), king bed, full bath and sitting area with coffee maker and coffee pods. Downstairs by the front door is a living room with TV, comfy couch & chair, wet bar, small fridge and washer/dryer! As everyone knows, with a home or business, there will always be times of repair and/or construction. Currently, the upper deck is being repaired, so we weren't able to take advantage of that. Instead, we took a long walk along the water, watched the eagles soar overhead, waved at people passing by and enjoyed the fresh sea air! Eating at local restaurants is always a plus and enjoying wine in the evenings watching the sun lower gently on the horizon out of sight made this trip, along with our fabulous hosts, Craig & Michelle, all worthwhile. Thank you for making our local getaway a special one!

Unit was clean, nicely appointed, and as a bonus had a great TV lounge and private patio outside in the backyard (great for happy hours). It was fun watching the deers stroll by and seeing the greenhouse and veggies they tend. Highly recommend.
