We are available if needed, just call or text. There is an outbuilding on the property that is a private workspace and we may be in and out at times during your stay. The building is secluded on the property from the main house though so it's you likely won't even notice. This is a quiet, peaceful community. Absolutely no parties or loud gatherings. We're located in a rural neighborhood just up the hill from downtown Kingston and the waterfront. The area is quiet and peaceful, yet only a short drive (or bike ride) to restaurants, coffee shops, marina, and parks. Wildlife abounds - we frequently see deer, eagles and hawks, rabbits, and coyote around the property. Located on the scenic Kitsap Penninsula. Kingston is about an hour and a half drive from Sea-Tac via Tacoma, or through Edmonds on the Washington State Ferry system. A car is recommended for getting around, though we are easily accessible by bike also (about a mile from the Kingston ferry dock). Downtown Seattle is directly accessible on weekdays by the Kitsap Transit Fast Ferry (walk or bike-on only) - a 40 minute ride each way. To the west, we are about an hour drive from the Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest. Alternatively if you prefer to stay local, Kitsap Peninsula has a lot to offer for day trips, hiking, biking, boating and camping adventures.
