The Garden Room Retreat: Affordable Studio Getaway

Relax in a spacious mountain-view studio apartment surrounded by a one-acre garden, in a semi-rural setting. Wake from a refreshing night's sleep on our King-sized Tempur-Pedic to a warm golden sunrise streaming through lace curtains, as you enjoy a steaming mug of coffee. Close to all the lavender farms and quaint shops of Sequim, the Olympic National Park and the ferry to Victoria, B.C. Perfect for a romantic getaway. And great for a small family on an adventure.

The Garden Room is in the center of everything people come to the Olympic Peninsula to enjoy. The Olympic National Park & ferry to Victoria, B.C. are just 15 miles away. All of Sequim's quaint shops and lavender farms are within 5 miles. Less than a mile from the main on/off ramps to U.S. Highway 101. Kid-friendly. Our comfy sofa-bed will accommodate two kids, PLUS we have a big play-structure with tube-slide and swings (see photos). The Garden Room is just right for a family of four...or a romantic getaway for two.

Enjoy our full kitchen and bathroom. Set up your laptop on the desk. 48” LED Smart TV with over 100 FREE streaming and local channels. FREE high-speed Wi-Fi. Charging stations and a power-strip for all your devices. Enjoy the electric fireplace with the most realistic 3D flame technology in the business. It puts out cozy heat, all in a beautiful oak mantle. We even provide free eggs from our own chickens.

The Garden Room is attached to, but completely separate from our home. It has its own entrance, and a thick firewall separates the two structures. It is self-contained and private.

We couldn't describe it any better than one of our guests: "You've thought of every comfort needed...We recommend you become the model and spokes-people for how to provide for VRBO/HomeAway accommodations and providers. You and the Garden Room are among the very few "perfect" experiences we've enjoyed throughout the world!" - E.N.

Comfort/Ambiance:
- Bright sunny room with lots of big windows and large sliding glass door.
- Lace curtains and pull-down shades for privacy.
- Full-size desk. Set up your laptop or write postcards.
- Tempur-Pedic King bed with memory-foam topper...VERY comfy.
- A comfortable full sofa-bed...suitable for up to two children or one adult.
- In-room washer/dryer.
- Enjoy the electric fireplace with the most realistic 3D flame technology in the business. It puts out cozy heat, all in a beautiful oak mantle.
- A bidet for your comfort and cleanliness.
- Walk through the yard & gardens, feed the chickens, watch deer, quail, hummingbirds, and enjoy the mountain view!

Technology/Entertainment:
- Keyless entry...no keys to carry. Just use the simple 4-digit code we'll give you.
- High-speed Wi-Fi.
- White-noise machine. Six relaxing sounds designed to mimic the natural environment: White Noise, Thunder, Ocean, Rain, Summer Night, and Brook.
- 48” LED HDTV with over 100 FREE streaming channels and local TV.
- Charging station and power-strip for all your devices.

Kitchen:
- Full-sized stove & fridge, microwave, toaster, and all the cooking utensils you’ll need.
- Kitchen table with one leaf for expandable seating.
- 10-cup programmable coffee maker with thermal carafe...keeps coffee hot for two hours with no hotplate scorching.
- The basic staples: salt, pepper, coffee, creamer, teas & sweeteners (white sugar, organic cane sugar, natural raw turbinado, organic Stevia).
- 6 eggs fresh from our own chickens.
- Fruits & veggies from our orchard and gardens in season.

Location:
- Less than a mile from the main on/off ramps to U.S. Hwy 101...your gateway to all the adventures of the Olympic National Park and North Olympic Peninsula.
- Olympic National Park & the ferry to Victory, B.C. are both just 15 miles away.
- Walmart, Costco, Ross, Safeway, local farm store, restaurants, galleries, churches, lavender farms, and downtown Sequim's quaint shops are all within 5 miles.

No smoking & no pets, please. ONE MONTH MAXIMUM STAY.

We had a great time while staying here at the Garden room. Everything was clean, the bed and pillows were great, loved seeing the fluffy llamas and cow nearby, and loved being able to come back to a comfortable place after exploring so many thing to do in the PNW. We would definitely love to come back again!

Nice quiet space in Sequim

Gorgeous home and apartment, owners were kind and by the upkeep, notes, and provided amenities, very clearly care about the hospitality of their guests. Great spot for a quiet stay on the peninsula. My partner and I enjoyed the chickens in the backyard a lot too :)

Wonderful Property!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Garden Room. The owners have put much thought into providing a comfortable stay. It was noticed and appreciated! The grounds are also very quiet and lovely. We had a full agenda for our short stay so didn’t get to meet the owners but wanted to say thanks for sharing your beautiful property! We would definitely stay again if we are in the area

Exceptional Stay

Our absolute favorite VRBO of all time! What a warm, inviting and beautiful home away from home. The owners were friendly and thoughtful. It was treat to meet them, though we didn't need to. The unit was well and thoughtfully stocked with every need in mind - we were blown away by that. (Many places are rather sparsely equipped.) We enjoyed watching the deer, and experiencing the quiet. It is conveniently located in a beautiful part of Washington state. If there was a 10 star rating, we'd give it a 12.
