Finde Ferienunterkünfte mit direktem Pistenzugang nahe Daffodil Bowl

We enjoyed seven sublime days in this cozy nest. Thank you, Jennelle and Chris! We found everything we needed and far more - little signs that look like art, yet kept us aware of the conventions in the home; bird feeders filled, inviting a host of birds to the yard; field glasses - brilliant! - for getting a closer look at the Olympic mountains, bald eagles cruising overhead, harbour seals at the shoal, deer ambling past, ferries in the distance; extra blankets and towels; a tea and coffee assortment; bathrobes, and slippers and beach towels for the hot tub. And there was Jennelle's extraordinary art, strategically placed to invite us to slow down and enjoy the moment. No matter the weather, this is a place to enjoy nature whether indoors by the fireplace looking out through the wall of windows onto the water and trees, or out on the covered patio or on the path down to the fire pit. The location on Fox Island is a short drive to Zog's, the single gas station-grocery store-expresso stand with a Post Office directly across the street. Packaged goods were available at the grocery store for a reasonable price. For fresh produce we drove about 20 minutes to the Olympic Drive grocery stores. The old town of Gig Harbor is about another 10 minutes' drive from there. We recommend visiting the sand spit on the northwest end of the island and Kopachuck State Park.

We stayed for a week and enjoyed every minute of it. The house is incredible, offering a lot of space and convenience. The spacious garden (or should I say park) with its view of Mt Rainier is a dream. The house and surroundings are even much better than you would expect by looking at the online information. This is particularly due to the caretakers Ellen and Mike who keep everything in very good order. Cleanliness, the attention to detail and the excellent garden strongly exceed the standard that you normally get in holiday homes, even in the luxury segment. And Ellen and Mike are also very nice people. If I could give 6 stars, I would!
