You had to look up and down every few steps to not miss something. I found it cool that they also had inspirational signs as well as ones asking questions, inviting guests to think about deeper things. Some items apparently are designed to decay with the forest. Not all items had signs to describe the art or even give it a title. You just had to roll with it.

I was reading my Frommer's guidebook to look for things to do around Port Angeles and it mentioned this place. I'm not the biggest fan of contemporary art, but this was amazing and FREE! We only spent a couple of minutes inside the fine arts center, because the outdoor sculpture garden was out of this world. Nestled under a canopy of trees were all sorts of modern sculpture, a lot of it whimsical, hanging from the trees, suspended in the air, and blending into the environment. It was everywhere and you almost felt like you were on a scavenger hunt. What a fantastic way to introduce my kids to art. We all had a blast wandering around the woods looking for the next discovery. My favorite sculpture was the collection of sweaters on a hillside (see photo).

Our family rented the Cama Center for an event and had the worst experience. It was cheaper than other venues but you get what you pay for. It took not 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 BUT 5 phone calls before anyone got back to us about booking info!!!? AND when we did get calls back, there were excuses for not calling back....WT*! We should have known better right then.... On the day of the event, the only help we got was that they left the tables and chairs out for us to use and reminded us what time we needed to "Clear Out"..... This place is completely inconvenient because your guests will have to pay a $10 entrance fee or buy a $30 Discover Pass. Because it is in a state park and the building is open to the public, random people pop into your event! Parking is not convenient...again state park, so limited parking and tons of people visiting the park. There is beach access, but you have to walk down a gravel hill!! Heals and dress shoes? .. NOT HAPPENING! Never using this place again! The state has decided to get into event venues and it is a major FAIL! Do yourselves a favor and skip this place!

We've attended the fair and monster trucks here at the Fairgrounds. The grounds and facilities…read morethemselves are great. What's SERIOUSLY disastrous is the parking situation. There needs to be some extensive enforcement of dangerous and downright stupid parking during big events. Just came here for an event last weekend and cars were parking three-deep, completely blocking in cars in the middle. Imagine one of those folks needing to leave, only to find they're boxed in by half a dozen vehicles. Parking in the grass, parking on planted tree-filled areas, parking in handicap spaces with no pass. The unfortunate truth is that the Fairgrounds was built for a smaller population in Kitsap. All the growth with no change in infrastructure to support it. Sigh...

We truly loved our first visit and stay and look forward to more opportunities to be at Seabeck Conference Center again.

I wanted to like this place. But its best days are clearly behind it. The family facilities were…read morebadly dated. The playground hadn't been updated in many years. Of the three swings at the main play area, one was broken. There was a single half-court basketball court. The lone tetherball pole was broken. There was a badminton court but no racquets. The food service was woefully inadequate. We had a vegetarian option, selected and paid for in advance. On day two dinner, they served us a tiny portion, perhaps 300 calories. Breakfast the third day the kitchen staff told us they were out of vegetarian food and it wouldn't be replenished that day. There was no manager of expo in the dining room at any time. Indeed, I never saw a manager or anyone besides kitchen serving staff at all during the whole weekend. The facility said no snacks were allowed for the family camp, but there were no snacks available on site at all during the weekend, a very odd omission for a family focused camp. It was an incredibly disappointing trip. The accommodations were very dated and dusty but reasonably clean. The value for the dollar was very poor. It was twice as expensive as Camp Orkila, but aside from 1960s era motel accommodation, it was inferior in every way.

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.
