Cozy and Well equipped
This was the perfect place to lay our heads after a busy day of adventuring. The hosts were very friendly and helped us with needed information and guidance. They went above and beyond. The cottage had everything that we were afraid to have not packed with us and more. Provided brochures of the area were very helpful for food options and things to do. Very clean, warm and well stocked. Communication was great! Highly recommended! We will return ... Thank you very much!

The property was beautiful within a quiet neighborhood. The apartment is small but had everything you needed with some fun extras. The hosts are very kind and had a welcome binder that explained expectations. The town had everything needed for food and dining. It is close to the Olympic National Park and may other places to visit.

Great Stay!
We mostly used the BNB to sleep and were off exploring during the day. But it was very clean and the perfect size! There was also a patio area to sit outside that was cute. There were brochures and reading material on the area which was super convenient. We highly recommend!

Relaxing and clean studio
Wise Old Owl is a sweet studio right in the heart of Sequim farmlands - with easy access to everything in Sequim. It was a perfect retreat. Incredibly clean and thoughtfully laid out. Lisa checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed - which was much appreciated. She really makes sure the studio feels like home, relaxing and no detail forgotten. Not only does the studio itself feel private but there is a private outdoor space which is a great way to unwind after a day exploring. The check in/check out process is completely contactless and could not be any easier! We will definitely be back.

Friendly Host, Charming Little Cottage
I rented this place with a friend for our Olympic National Park vacation. This cottage was small, but the perfect amount of space for two to rest their heads after a long day of hiking. We also liked the location, which was quiet but gave us relatively quick access to Port Angeles and the northern entrances to the park. It was clean and well cared for, and the outdoor space was a lovely addition to the property. The host is especially friendly and we received great communication from her. The check in and check out process is no contact, quick, and easy. There was also very little asked of the guests in regards to cleaning upon checkout, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had an amazing stay and would be happy to visit again!

We stayed here for several nights while we hiked throughout Olympic national park. All we needed was a bed and a shower, and this fit the bill. Quiet, private, and comfy.

Comfortable, cozy, stay while cycling on the Discovery bike trail. Great home base, so much nicer and quieter than staying in a hotel! If you're looking for a quiet place to explore the Olympic Peninsula, this is it!

Just right!
Really enjoyed my stay at the Owl. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a vacation home that was so well stocked and with such consideration. And because everything is labeled so well, you don’t spend your vacation time hunting for items. The studio may seem small when you enter, but once the curtains are open, the space is very comfortable, bright, efficiently laid out, and has a good vibe. There’s also a real sense of privacy. I loved having my own little yard to soak up the sun and Sequim’s fresh air. And being able to lay down on the bed in the evening and watch the sunset out the windows was amazing. Lisa could not have been more welcoming, kind, and helpful in her communications. I stayed during a reunion weekend of events and it was the perfect home-base for prepping to go, pondering life so far, and reflecting on all the fun during the trip. Thanks, Lisa!

Not far from the National Park and other outdoor attractions, Lisa's place is very clean. We enjoyed the little outdoor setting after returning from full days of hiking. The weather was perfect so we were able to prepare meals and dine outside.

Lisa was an exceptional host. Very helpful and communicative. The cottage was clean and perfect for two. Lisa provided some snacks, coffee and tea. Everything was in pristine condition. Comfy bed and fluffy towels as other reviewers mentioned. Sequim is quite a distance from the west side of Olympic, but we weren’t too bothered as we were heading southwest after our park visit. This was a great spot with an amazing host. Highly recommend. Plan accordingly if you want to be closer to the western part of the park. Thank you, Lisa, for a beautiful place to stay.
