I usually associate Kiana Lodge with weddings. My first visit on a rainy Sunday afternoon was for a celebration of life memorial (4/6/25). This can be accessed by car via ferry sailings from Edmonds/Kingston or Seattle/Bainbridge Island or driving around the sound from Seattle/Tacoma. I also received an e-newsletter where Kenmore Air can provide transport via seaplane for special events onsite. The Garden Atrium was arranged with a reception area and coat service. A table was set up with various curated memorabilia, A/V services to provide slide show and speaker capability. There was also an open bar, coffee/tea service including water and lemonade, and catering services were also provided. Delicious cuisine. Beautiful, serene views and seating also allowed for mingling and sharing anecdotes. A genuine celebration of a very accomplished individual who left lasting legacy, demonstrated a strong love of family, and a truly a life well lived. Beautiful destination for private events.

This is a truly unique venue that used to be roller rink and it was perfect for our reception. My only issue came the day before the wedding when I found out that the round tables (I had been promised) had been rented out to another wedding happening the same day. We had already purchased round table cloths, and our seating chart was for round tables which seat a different number of people than the rectangular tables that were left for me. So my husband and I redid the entire searching chart the day before our wedding. Luckily I had awesome bridesmaids who came to my rescue and helped me sort it all out. The response from the pavilion was, "Well you have enough tables right?" Technically yes, but you caused quite a headache for us the day before our wedding.

They served hors d'oeuvres that were all very good and had a no-host drinks bar. The one rub is that there were not enough stations to serve the guests effeciently.

Most skipped the food or drinks after they got one item rather than spend most of the evening in line.

The simulator was really cool! They give you different textures to simulate truly playing 18 holes at a course. They have all different kinds of course to play and show you the difficulty. They also offer to turn on tips if you need it. There were different kinds of game modes you could play. We started the first 9 all playing normal and the back nine we did a scramble. We played 4 hours for $65 for the group. The food was surprisingly pretty decent! I really liked the pulled pork nachos. The staff was very friendly and informative. They were also very on it with help. I would definitely come back with more friends and I'm not even the golfer in the group.

To celebrate another gorgeous PNW day, we had dinner on the water at Whiskey Gulch. It was stellar. Our mains were simply delicious, Reuben Sammy and Mushroom Burger; one of the best Reubens I've had in years with a perfectly cooked corned beef and perfect bread choice. Our sides were also on point with killer onion rings, perfectly seasoned fries, and a small cup of kick ass chili. Our server, Desiree was the best... Engaging, great personality, timely with her attention, and checked in when needed. Her overall attentiveness is exactly what one hopes to experience at a restaurant.

This place is like being transported into a Nicholas Sparks novel/movie…read more It's even more beautiful than the secret garden. Every single place you look at is breathtaking. If you are an animal lover.... This is your dream spot!!! We got to feed the goats, hang out with ducks, a bunny, chickens , and two dogs. They have an awesome four legged tour guide that showed us around the property. She doesn't care for summer so she immediately went swimming. Once she cooled down she wagged her tail with excitement and led us down a path with a gorgeous view of the pond and a picnic table and fire pit. Exploring the flower gardens was so romantic. They say Ram (our second four legged tour guide ) is eight years old going on one! He doesn't care for swimming so he will lead you through the gardens to see the ducks, bunnies, and chickens. But once you have his attention.... You better give him all the petting! He will demand it Kevin and Denise are an incredible team! I'm blown away on how wonderful this place is. Kevin and Denise..... you guys put your hearts into this place and it shows. Thank you so much for sharing it . We travel a ton and we both agree that this is hands down our favorite spot!

If it wasn't for Airbnb, I probably would have never found Courter Country Farm...but I am oh so…read morethankful that we did! Looking for a place to stay overnight in the Poulsbo area on the app, I happened upon a listing for a renovated greenhouse with glass walls and ceiling, perfect for stargazing, that would make for a perfect, romantic weekend getaway for my wife and I. I booked it immediately. Upon arrival, we learned that the greenhouse was only one fantastic feature of a similarly incredible property. Courter Country Farm, run by a husband and wife combo, Kevin and Denise (fantastic, welcoming people!), is equal parts functioning farm, event venue (weddings in particular), campground, and country store. Apart from the main farmhouse, there's an attached "saloon" (open from 6am to 10pm) with functions as a community gathering place, complete with kitchenette, restrooms, pool table, chairs, patio deck and modest farm store, with items such as soaps and snacks available for purchase. The expansive property also includes a petting zoo, containing (at the time) the cutest little bunny I've ever seen (for sale! $25! we almost took him home!), goats in an adjacent fenced barn, alpacas down the hill, and a chicken run with at least one talented jailbreaking rooster, who apparently loves to show off his Houdini-esque escape act! Further down the hill, you will find the converted greenhouse/Airbnb rental, adjacent to the tent-covered, patio event space, where most of the larger events are held. Now, I know what you're thinking: glass house, glass walls...no privacy. No problem! The hosts make themselves scarce no later than 8pm, so you are left to your own devices in the evening. Campers staying at the single camp space, tucked away down a short forest path along a creek, are similarly encouraged to give the glass house a wide berth. It's important to note that, as it is a greenhouse with transparent walls, it can grow extremely warm when exposed to the summer sun, and lacking insulation, bitterly cold in the winter. Don't plan on spending the day hanging out inside during warm weather: let it cool down in the evening, and you'll be just fine when it's time for bed. A powerful fan is provided, if needed. Similarly, for the colder months, a heated mattress pad is provided; the hosts informed us that some previous patrons booked the room in the dead of winter, when the whole structure was encased in snow, and they loved the warm, cozy feeling of snuggling into a heated bed while the world froze around them. Honestly, that sounds pretty great, too! Additional features include a firepit, yard games, hiking paths, and porta-potties (for any after-hours needs, since the saloon closes between 10pm and 6am) help make Courter Country Farm a truly special destination for anyone looking for a cozy weekend getaway, without venturing too far from civilization. Proximity to Poulsbo is a huge plus; anyone who hasn't explored this Nordic novelty needs to do so, promptly! One of our favorite towns in the Pacific Northwest! Additionally, Port Gamble and Port Townsend are 15 and 45 minutes by car, respectively, meaning there is no shortage of amazing places to visit, just a short drive away! One more thing that definitely needs to be mentioned: if you are planning on hosting an event here, such as a wedding, Kevin and Denise will work gladly with your choice of caterer! Most other event venues require that you use whichever they are contracted with, but fortunately, Courter Country Farm doesn't have that requirement. Courter Country Farm is the sort of place I would love to own, develop and dwell in myself, if I had the talent and resources. Lacking both, my wife and I are thankful that Kevin and Denise are such fantastic stewards and hosts, who have put a substantial amount of work, care and love into making this place a magical venue for prospective newlyweds, overnight campers, and couples looking for a romantic weekend escape in one of the most unique BNB experiences out there. After staying in the glass house, I can safely say that have no stones to throw; Kevin and Denise will just have to make do with gushing praise instead.
