Kingston Farmhouse Cottage, the great escape...!

COMFORT LISTING! Yesteryear nostalgia with modern accommodations. Purposely designed for your leisure and enjoyment. Comfortable sleeping plus full kitchen. Queen bed plus plenty of bed and bath linens. Children will be quite comfy, sleeping in three-quarter sofa bed, cot, and/or lean-back recliner and feel cozy-safe near family. (Still, if you're looking for a romantic get-away, mom & dad, leave them with friends or relatives this time!) Comfort, resting, and relaxation "come with the territory". If you are enthusiastic as a chef and want to indulge in your "home cookin" or you'd like to entertain a small group you're all set up. There is no additional charge for use of the well-apportioned kitchen! EXTRA: if you wish to consider YOUR custom, pre-stocked goods to be already in the unit upon your arrival, we can make that service available with your special request. Just let us know; you provide the list and at cost plus a reasonable $25 service fee we can have it waiting for you . Or...bring your own groceries or just explore the many and varied area eateries. Pleasant landscaping with eye-comforting environment. Excellent access, individual parking space near security light. Nicely graveled driveway. Additional temporary parking space uphill toward the barn for your visitors. Please note...graveled driveway, for safety's sake, motorcycle riders should use alternate entry gate...second entry from Shorty Campbell Rd. Note also, the entire cottage is available to the guest(s). The building is essentially an entry hallway, private shower bathroom and a blended common area for sleeping, living room and kitchen/dining. Additional cots with memory foam mattress are available. The yard is shared with the owner. Ample, special outdoor space near the cottage is designed for guests' leisure and enjoyment including outdoor seating, swing set and other amenities. The property's 2+ acres offer great opportunity to walk-about in the meadow-like yard or even stroll among some small woodland spots. Owners are most often available for personal greeting as well as guidelines about community or area attractions. Many local info pamphlets are made available on our greeting table in cottage hallway. NOTE: Of course current guidelines are focused and in order for health & safety concerns. You can be assured proper cleaning protocol has been observed by hosts. This property has proven to be a haven of fresh air in a pleasing environment. ========================================================== Five minute drive to Kingston Ferry Terminal, Appletree Cove Marina, and gorgeous views of Puget Sound. From there can be seen the Seattle skyline; even a halo glimpse of Mt. Rainier (weather permitting). Visits to the charming, downtown villages of Kingston and Poulsbo remain items of year-round international magnetism. The North Kitsap Peninsula offers an endless array of parks, bike trails, boating, fishing, farmers' markets, and bountiful shopping, dining or other events and entertainment facilities. Whale-sighting trips, scenic float-plane tours, native attractions, metropolitan concerts, major sporting events, museums and other fabulous features abound throughout the Seattle area. Pioneer history practically exudes from the legendary Northwestern United States shared by connections with Canada at the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the entire Salish Sea region. Olympic and Pacific coastal hallmark elements lurk within half a day's drive. Plus, it's not too far across the Cascades toward Lake Chelan, Leavenworth, apple orchards and other splendid experiences of the agrarian, rolling-hills countryside. Although well isolated from outside view this property is bordered by county roads and State Highways. Terminal points for Washington State and Kitsap County ferries are one mile distant on paved highway. Other nearby ferry terminal points are located at Bainbridge Island...depending on your chosen routing. If you opt to be on foot or bike, there's a bus stop ~100 yards away that can connect to walk-on ferry services (most shuttle buses and ferries have walk-on and bike rack access). Seattle metroplex is 40 minutes by ferry or one hour drive around Puget Sound. SeaTac and Boeing Field International airports offer world-wide connections. So, come on over and see us; you'll be glad you did! This cottage has been utilized by 5 adults and a couple of kids; it most comfortably will accommodate 2 or 3 adults plus 2 or 3 small children; and, of course, short term additional, non-staying visitors are welcome. In addition to listed Queen & Sofa beds there are 2 adult size cots, a "pak 'n' play" style playpen and plenty of fresh, clean linens. Sturdy swing set for kids...of all ages or grand kids (with chairs for tending adults). There is a grill for guests behind the cottage, wooden chairs and table 'neath the nearby apple tree and 2 other nifty little/table arrangements in front of and beside the cottage at which to relax for coffee, snax & conversation, or what have you. Enjoy a stroll to explore 2 acres of grassy meadows and woodland hillside. The large firepit may be used by specific arrangement with the host. The owners' home, garage, wellhouse, toolshed, barn, yard-care equipment and other outbuildings are private; are not part of the vacation-rental and therefore restricted to "by invitation/approval" only, thank you. ADDITIONAL PARKING for guests' visitors is through the second gateway off Shorty Campbell Road; then stone steps available down to cottage. Please let us know of anything else we might offer to enhance your stay.
