    If you're coming to Sequim for a getaway, indulge in this spectacular vacation home featuring a private hot tub, movie theater, fitness room, and pond. Stately and imposing, this home stands out with unique architecture and a profusion of windows. Pull into the driveway and take in the wooded surroundings. Then step inside and marvel at the pond surrounded by tropical greenery. Further inside, notice the distinctive decor and spaciousness. Relax in the living room on the stylish sofa, and bask in the natural light that filters in. Three sets of double glass doors open wide to create an open-air atmosphere. On chilly nights, warm up with a fire in the fireplace, which features a stainless steel facade.

    The open-concept design creates expansion and a nice flow across the living/dining/kitchen areas. Create a culinary feast in the kitchen, which has plentiful counter space and storage, stainless appliances, and a center cooktop island. Gather at the dining table for eight, and enjoy your meal together with the soothing sound of running water from the pond just adjacent to you. After dinner, take a well-deserved soak in the private hot tub, or build a fire in the outdoor firepit.

    This home offers many bonuses. Spend some time in the family room and catch a movie on the large TV after you make a selection from the DVD library. For a truly extravagant experience, have a movie night in the in-house theater. Lower the lights and sink into the plush leather seats - there's one for each of you - an enjoy a movie marathon. Choose from the available games for both kids and adults. If you don't want to let your workout routine slide while on vacation, visit the well-equipped fitness room. This home also offers a large laundry room with a stainless washer and dryer plenty of counter space for sorting and folding laundry.

    Chances are you won't want to leave, considering all this home has to offer, but if you're in the mood to explore, there's plenty to do in the area. Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge is 18 miles away, and Dungeness River Audubon Center is only 15 miles away. Known as the 'Lavender Capital of North America' and rivaled only by France, Sequim boasts several lavender farms you can visit and a lavender festival every July. Sequim also offers a few art galleries and historic sites, like the New Dungeness Lighthouse and the Historic Dungeness Schoolhouse. If nightlife appeals to you, Seven Cedars Casino is only five miles away. Located less than a mile from the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Sequim Bay, this home offers wooded seclusion. In-town conveniences are close by, with grocery shopping just 12 miles away, and Olympic National Park is 68 miles away. Due to Sequim's close proximity to the Olympic Mountains, you'll reap the benefits of being protected from the typical rains the rest of the state gets, a phenomenon that's earned this town the title of 'Sunny Sequim.'

Unique vacation home.

This home was by far the most unique and amazing vacation home that my husband and I had ever been to. The indoor plants and goldfish pond were so fun to look at. The indoor hot tub among it all was especially spectacular. The property is very secluded with thick forest surrounding the home. The only issue we had was with the number of spiders inside the home. We will definitely be returning.

Whats with the no curtains

Place was amazingly unique. The hit tub and coy pond were so cool. The theater bulb is in desperate need of being replaced. The movies were all really green. The house is full of huge beautiful wondows however no curtains and in the middle of woods totally creepy. However if your looking for a scare stay perfect place.

Dated but a blast to stay!

I was nervous when I read prior reviews. the space was extremely clean when we arrived, The theater room was dated but what a blast to watch a movie on the big screen, The jungle room was amazing and we enjoyed the fish. Limited TV's but what the heck - so much else to do! Kitchen was modern with everything we needed. Would highly recommend

Needs a little upgrade.

VrboSeats don’t work in theater roomNo curtains or drapes in the entire home including bedrooms, which means no privacy anywhere Half of the windows were unlocked including in bedroomsNeeds a deep clean, the cobwebs are terribleNone of the porch lights workSolo bedroom by theater room, the door handle on the inside falls offAtrium/pond/hot tub room has no lights, makes it very unsafe when trying to get to the other 3 roomsHand rail on spiral staircase is missing screws and literally ones laying on the stepThe fish are acting very hungry and the feeder looks empty Any other vacation rental I’ve stayed at provides simple kitchen items like foil and plastic wrap * jets dont work on the hot tub and it’s warm…not hot. More like a soaking tub. *great things. Quiet neighborhood great for relaxing. Loved how big it was gave everyone enough room to spread out. Steam shower in master bath is amazing.

Overall, great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at this home and it was perfect for what me and my 3 friends were looking for. The house is definitely funky, but that is what we wanted and the pictures did a very accurate job of representing the overall home. The wifi worked great, we were able to use the home theater system, and the kitchen was stocked with all of the stuff we needed to cook dinner each night we were there. It is remote (about 45 minutes from Port Townsend), but, again, this is what we wanted. One thing to be aware of when booking though is that there isnt a single blind on any of the windows - so you will def be getting up with the sun, ha.

Beautiful serene home

We had a wonderful stay in this unique and beautiful home. The main bedroom and bathroom were especially luxurious, offering a relaxing retreat. However, given the expansive layout of the house, a more thorough cleaning would be beneficial. On our first night, one of the bedroom fire alarms began beeping, which disturbed our kids' sleep. Thankfully, this issue was addressed promptly the next day. We were, however, disappointed that the theater room—a feature we had been excited about—was not functional during our stay. Additionally, the kitchen could use better organization and a more complete supply of cutlery and mugs. Despite these setbacks, our family truly enjoyed our time here, and the overall experience was pleasant.

Total misstatement

The property was very worn. No internet. No television. Spa did not work. Fountains did not work which made for stale fish ponds inside the house. They scheduled inside cleaning of the atrium for 6 hours while we were there. Very invasive

Unique but needs some updating

Overall this place was unique and fun. There were a few issues that weren’t big enough to make a fuss about, but worth mentioning. The first night, there was a mouse. Never saw it the rest of the stay, but it freaked the kids out a bit. The steam shower quit working halfway into our trip. The hot tub was great at first but seemed to run out of chlorine and was murky. The dishes all had a film on them, likely from the dishwasher needing the filter cleaned. We just hand washed everything before we used it. None of the windows had any covering on them. So when the sun came up, it was hard to sleep past 5am. The listing advertises the garage like it’s part of the package and can be used, but it was all locked up. The board games were a big hit and the large kitchen was well equipped. Beds were comfy and clean. The toiletries that were supplied were very nice to have. Towels were in plenty and clean. Washer and dryer worked well and laundry soap is provided. Overall we were able to work past the downfalls and enjoyed our stay.

Unexpectedly awful

The house was absolutely dirty. There was mouse poop all over the house including finding some on the bed and sheets. We spent the first day cleaning just to feel able to stay. The hot tub was off and dirty, the floors were sticky, the appliances were broken (only half the stove worked) and there was not one blind or curtain in the house. There was a multitude of other issues and although “Vacasa” (the company using VRBO) did refund the cleaning fee and half the cost of the rental, I will never use their company again. I think VRBO should rethink their partnership with Vacasa or at a minimum not allow their listings until major issues have been resolved.

Wi-Fi didn’t work when we arrived. The house was not properly completely cleaned. Sound in the bathroom didn’t work. All the TVs are not connected. We saw a mouse in the theater room at night.

A good house .. but not a good Vacation home!!

Pros 1. Spacious House 2. Some unique things like indoor waterfall garden 3. Quite place 4. Big property with backyard and front yard. Cons: 1. No curtains or blinds on windows. So hard to sleep and no privacy 2. Cleaner has not done a good job in arranging the house( bathroom, kitchen etc) 3. Hot tub is not managed. Chlorine in hot tub was too much to use it. 4. Indoor waterfall could be unsafe for small kids 5. No way to connect music system as all speakers and electronics were old school. 6. You can use the theatre with existing DVDs 7. No wifi ( It was informed earlier)

Nice but...

I imagine this would be a great place in warm weather. But not in 20 - 30 degree weather. The thermostats were difficult to figure out and the atrium where the koi ponds were made it even colder.There was also the fact this place was for eight people but didn't have enough dinnerware or glassware to accommodate six of us. And the coffee mugs were very small. Not all was bad. The theater room was cool...until we found out there was no cable...and this was Super Bowl weekend. 4 TV's and no cable. Luckily, we had a computer and figured out how to hook it up in the theater room and was able to catch the game.Overall, the place was disappointing. But the six of us have "make do" attitude and we made the best of it.Still, for the amount of money that my friends and I paid for this "premier" site, it wasn't at all that premier. Felt like it was a bait and switch. I would like a 25% refund because that's about how much we felt ripped off.

Weekend Getaway

Me, my sister, and our two boys chose this beautiful property for a relaxing weekend getaway. The house was pretty spectacular. We enjoyed cooking in the beautiful kitchen, although we did have to hand wash any utensil or dish prior to using them because they were not clean, and things are a bit unorganized. But contrastingly, we really appreciated that everything we needed was available somewhere in the kitchen!The waterfall and fishes were a peaceful touch. The movie theater kept our boys well entertained. There were plenty of board games and it was fun playing hide and seek and dancing around the kitchen as we cooked meals together.The bedrooms were all nice, but it was very strange having no blinds or curtains anywhere in the house, especially the bedrooms for privacy reasons. It was hard not to feel like a possible scary movie scenario so we definitely didn't watch anything scary.We really enjoyed the fireplaces as it got pretty cold at night. The master shower was the most heavenly part of my weekend. All of the different water spouts and the in shower steamer provided some much needed relaxation that I really enjoyed. The downside was, the hot tub was un-usable due to needing to be cleaned. It appeared to be clean at first, we turned on the jets, went to take showers and change into bathing suits, then came back to a brown ring at the top that gave us the heebie-jeebies so we ended up not using it the rest of the weekend. We only stayed two nights so we didn't w

Private home

The home was unique but definitely needs some love and attention. I appreciated the privacy and no one being around. Beautiful outdoors setup. Upon arrival the house smelled clean and looked clean so I was happy. Unfortunately, as I used the bathroom and kitchen I began to notice that dishes were dirty, the refrigerator looked like it wasn’t wiped out, and the floor had pee dribbles on it. Also, we went to get in the hot tub and there were ants crawling all over the outside. Also between the hot tub and wall there was a substantial amount of garbage just laying in there. The rest of the house just needs some dusting and updating, so much love could be put into this house to help make it cleaner. I enjoyed the setup of the house, although it is hard to get up and down the stairs in the waterfall/pond room. (No handrails). The GM was helpful when the key code stopped working, and over all the stay was a great experience. Just wish I didn’t pay fees for the hot tub when it is completely unusable. I have worked in hospitality for over 15 years and there is definitely improvements that could be made for a better guest experience.

Refrigerator & Freezer do not work. Almost all plants are dead. Different couches.

I was extremely disappointed that we were not told the freezer no longer worker. I was pissed that we were not told the refrigerator hardly worked. We had over a thousand dollars worth of food brought with us that we ended up having to go buy ice to put in our Coolers. A person came out and checked the breaker and said nothing seemed wrong. She was nice and offered a cooler of her own and we told her we'd let her know if we needed it. The ponds were pretty mucky and almost every single plant is dead. The office room is set up differently with no TV and the living room has completely different couches. None of the photos or description have been updated in what seems like a long time. I can tell the plant that used to hang over the bridge walk way is out the back door in the over grown grass. There are sticker bushes everywhere, even hanging into the walkway. The house for the most part was clean. The communication was poor everytime I messaged. Our number was complaint and extreme disruption to our stay was the freezer and refrigerator.

Akward place, weired setup

This is a unique place. nice property with a lot of potential. but it is slipping. There was some initial misunderstanding regarding the Jacuzzi being out of order. They fixed it, but didn't let the cleaning staff know. So it was filthy. had to be drained and cleaned. Staff came out that day and fixed the issue, but we were unable to sue the jacuzzi for the majority of the stay due to our schedule. Around the jacuzzi there is a ton of dirt and debris piled up. The Floors are sticky, there is a residue on them. so wear shoes. One of the bedroom closets had chunks of throwup that was not cleaned out, and continued to smell. The two bedroom wing has an issue with the thermostat's left half of the screen. The oven does not work, requires a looong time to reach temperature, and does not keep it. The microwave oven works well. Bring your own spices and condements. the kitchen is not stocked. The kitchen does have good selection of silverwear and plates, and cookwear (pots and pans). The biggest plus of this accomodation is the open space concept, and the large property because the kids had a great time running around. But because there are no shades any where expect to wake up early.

A Memorable Stay in a Unique Home

The initial “wow” factor hit us as we explored the spacious rooms, each thoughtfully furnished and accommodated our group of seven (family sharing beds). The tropical garden, complete with waterfall and a goldfish-filled pool, added to the charm. There was a jacuzzi, too. However, there were a few aspects that deserve attention. Let’s start with the kitchen: While the overall cleanliness was acceptable, specific details disappointed us. Wine glasses with lip marks, cups, and silverware that weren’t properly cleaned—it was evident. A kitchen knife that had dark, oily grime looked like it had just cut a steak. The cooking tools, especially the spatula and knives, were way past their prime. The stove top worked, but only with older warped pots and pans—the new ones didn’t work with the induction stove. In the theater room, the projector needed a new bulb and a thorough cleaning. The washed-green movie picture and the lack of audio dampened our movie night—it doesn’t work. Managing multiple remotes (and constantly swapping batteries) was a minor annoyance. The waterfall, while impressive, was loud. If the water volume could be adjusted, it would be perfect. We discovered the switch on our last night (in room w/ desk), but we hesitated to turn it off, considering the fish. The jacuzzi ran 24/7, and we wondered if there was a way to turn it off. Privacy-conscious guests should note the house lacks curtains. A positive experience, but owners should give some more attention.
