They have several units to choose from, but we chose the "Perch", which was the largest. It didn't disappoint! We didn't even use half the space! Currently, check-in is anytime after 2:00pm. We checked ourselves in and upon entering, found a spacious "home"! Divided by a set of stairs, there is a murphy bed (sleeps 2), bath & shower, dining area and full kitchen to the left. On the dining table was a lovely note addressed to us by the hosts Craig & Michelle, accompanied by a bottle of wine and a bowl of granola bars. Then, in the refrigerator, there was a nicely adjourned box nestled with yogurts, orange juice, hard boiled eggs, fresh fruit, a small bottle of Prosecco (for mimosas) and chocolate! We turned around and on the kitchen counter was a plate of local pastries! In the room on the other side of the stairs is another bedroom (sleeping 2-3), king bed, full bath and sitting area with coffee maker and coffee pods. Downstairs by the front door is a living room with TV, comfy couch & chair, wet bar, small fridge and washer/dryer! As everyone knows, with a home or business, there will always be times of repair and/or construction. Currently, the upper deck is being repaired, so we weren't able to take advantage of that. Instead, we took a long walk along the water, watched the eagles soar overhead, waved at people passing by and enjoyed the fresh sea air! Eating at local restaurants is always a plus and enjoying wine in the evenings watching the sun lower gently on the horizon out of sight made this trip, along with our fabulous hosts, Craig & Michelle, all worthwhile. Thank you for making our local getaway a special one!

Very uncomfortable experience, the space is cold and the service from the hosts is even colder. If…read moreyour religious this might be the place for you lots of religious reading materials laying around, oddly liberty bells. Coffee is basically Keurig machine even though the hosts brags and sells thier own roasted coffee. The front host/attendant basically uses the front lobby as an office so you will hear them on the phone and zoom/conference calls. Don't try and get any reading or work done in the main room while your staying. If thirsty you are provided two bottles of water in your fridge for a two day visit. Otherwise you can drink faucet water from your bathroom. Also no ice machines or microwaves unless maybe your a vip? Hosts either live in the basement or the attic.. and you might have a preacher living in the white barn by the front gate. No walking access outside the property.. Showers are the worst I have ever experienced in a hotel.. the beds are stiff as a board and the pillows are weirdly over sized.. sheets were awful also.. As for the food could of been a saving grace.. expect every dish is basically sugar... They offer maple syrup but there are so cheap you can tell it's just high fructose corn syrup with coloring.. Hope this saves someones money from this awkward social experience..

It is hard find on the web even knowing it's address, which is probably why there was space. We rented the room, apparently there is also a guest house that was already taken. Very nice room filled with artworks of many kinds, quiet, reasonable price, and the owner was easy to find and quite pleasant and helpful. Breakfast is an option we didn't choose. There is a cute garden filled with the owner's sculptures for reading. The backyard has chairs with a great view out over the water and surrounded by striking scuptures, lavender, and even a small hen house. One detail - if it's very hot, leaving the windows open at night is a problem because the town chooses to blast hourly church bells even in the middle of night!? This would be a problem for any B&B on the bluff. I hope that was a temporary set-up, what a bad idea! It is about 5 blocks from the coastal downtown, an easy walk along the top of the bluff.

Do not stay here if you want a good night's sleep! I know it's not the owner's fault, but the…read morehourly church bells are completely obnoxious. We thought, "surely they will stop after midnight!" But nooooooo..... slept like 30 minutes all night anticipating the next dinging session. Also, we didn't get breakfast and wanted it, and didn't know whether to ask or not. Felt a bit awkward. I would have liked some breakfast from the happy and fat chickens in the back yard but was not asked :-(( All in all, would not stay again. It was lovely and clean but the noise was too much. Also, no TV in the small room which would have been a nice distraction to drown out the bells and the continuous police sirens, motorcycles and car horns going on. Again, not the owner's fault at all, but I have had quieter nights on Broadway in NYC. Good in a pinch! :-))

The location is very quiet, but all the stores and restaurants in Sequiem and Port Angeles are not far away. This is a great place for a get away or a jumping off place to start exploring the Olympic Peninsula. This is for adults only-- no kids.

Owner Ed is very accommodating and welcoming. Explained area to us, where to go, best places to park, even discounts codes to local organic shop. We are staying at Seaside cottage. There are Jennies cottage and bay cottage. I didn't see two other places- but ours is located underneath the main house. Super clean, very quite, everything you need is located at the house. I mean... everything. Don't hesitate to ask me- if you have any questions. Discovery Bay is right under your windows, lash greenery, sweet tomatoes, fresh fruits and cookies, sherry, pancake mix and orange juice. And that's not all - of course. I am so in love with this place, that already want to bring here anyone I know. Love it! And recommend to everyone!

The common area is beautifully and stylishly furnished. They will supply you with clean, warm blankets to snuggle up to as you sit by the fire pit for Happy hour, which takes place every afternoon. The breakfasts are very tasty, and it's clear that great pride goes into their preparation and presentation! And might I say the garden area overlooking the sea is a slice of paradise. The grounds are lush and private enough that you're not running into other guests very often. The hubby and I loved the Lavender suite, which has a great view of the garden and sea. The bath was spacious and upscale as well. If you need ideas and suggestions for how to explore Olympic National Park, just ask. You won't be disappointed with the recommendations you receive. Yes, you will pay more than you might at a local hotel. But the experience here at Colette's makes it worth every penny. Don't ever change!

Would have gotten 5 stars except for the following; 1. Each time you come or go you have to get out of your car and manually open/close the gate. For what they charge for rooms they should have an electric gate and give people the code. 2. Breakfast is only served at 9AM, and often you want to get out early to beat the crowds to hiking/scenic places. 3. The ice machine has been broken for quite some time, so if you want ice later in the evening you need to hope the house manager is around. Otherwise it is a wonderful place to stay.

Recommedned for an informal friendly bed and breakfast in Dungeness…read more A family run business, breakfast shared with all guests, Glenda and Bob Clark. Small and very friendly with fabulous views of the Olympic mountains and average views across the flats of dungeness. The farm has excellent cute-ness qualities: White picket fence, the building is surrounded by a large porch; inside family portraits dating back to the turn of the century, big cllaw-foot baths with Oooodles of hot water (I had 2 per day, heaven!). Two elderly intelligent friendly resident owners who live in the building behind the Inn and still run the farm. Glenda Clark (ne Chambers) explained that the farm is the oldest family run farm in Washington state. She is thinking about trying to get it 'registered', the UK equivalent of 'listed'. It is no coincidence that Clark Chambers farm is the first building on 'Clark road'. Bob Clark is a never ending source of stories about farm life and the social history of the Dungeness region of the Olympic peninsular. A chirpy cheerful couple, they remind me of cockneys, with a different accent. I spent 2 nights with them. During one day I was able to explore Dungeness, During another I drove passed lake crescent and visited beaches on the West coast, Ruby, Beach 4 and Kalaloch. The B & B is n ot central for the Olympic peninsular but it does afford easy access. You can walk to Dungeness spit in less than a mile. Bob and Glenda talked about previous guests who liked to run, or cycle. The flat lands around dungeness are ideal for people who like these sort of activities. I'll definitely be going back in the summer...

We had a very comfortable room with the modern bathroom (I am glad I chose that). Breakfast was a highlight! Praline French toast, sausage, fruit, and coffee. Plenty of fuel for our hike to the Dungeness spit lighthouse. Sara, one of the owners, even went out of her way to find tide information for the spit. It felt like staying at your own family's farm house. Great location, close to lavender farms, Dungeness recreation area, and 10 min away from town. Very peaceful. In the evening we watched two bald eagles on the barn and sat on the porch. Doesn't get much better than that!

Thank you Tess & Morris for your lovely, serene ranch and friendly hospitality! You spared us from…read morewhat could have been a dismal getaway weekend. We were headed to Sooke Harbor, BC for a much-needed, long weekend. Imagine our disappointment after driving 2+ hours from our home in Kirkland to the Black Ball Ferry in Port Angeles, only to find there was no room for us on the only afternoon ferry to Victoria!! Note: we learned a valuable lesson - make reservations if you want onboard!! Our spirits dashed, we began to formulate Plan B after canceling our reservation at Sooke Harbor. We searched the interweb for hotels or lodges in the vicinity and came across the Bond Retreat Ranch. After finding other places booked solid or not yet open for the season, we were very relieved when Tess said we could have the Cottage for the weekend! We headed straight to the Ranch where we were greeted by the congenial Tess and her sidekick, Goofy the hound dog. She took us on a quick tour of the Ranch - a lovely, well-maintained spread, which includes 5 guest rooms with the B&B, a large pasture for the two resident horses, a cute wedding chapel, covered patio for gathering, breakfast room made from a converted barn, pavilion for dancing, and several other outbuildings. Then we were escorted to our private little cottage with a cozy living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and a private yard with chairs, porch, picnic table, lots of trees and a nice view of the ranch. The B&B wasn't open for the season, but Tess was happy to put us up. All the buildings on the ranch were built by Morris, the 70 year-old owner and Tess' longtime partner. Morris bought the land when he was 18, logged the trees, milled the lumber and built it all himself, including their home on the premises. The workmanship is impressive and the entire place is clean, inviting, rustic and charming. The ranch is a lovely venue for a wedding, family reunion or group getaway. In season they have a nightly campfire and serve breakfast in the barn and patio. The Cottage was spotless - not a speck of dust or cobweb in sight! I found this very impressive considering we arrived off-season. The bed was so cozy - we slept like babies! There were lots of warm quilts and fluffy pillows to snuggle into. The kitchen has a fridge, sink, small range and is stocked with enough dishes, pans & utensils to prepare light meals. If you want to grill, there is one at the pavilion or they will bring one down to the Cottage. There is a book of local restaurant recommendations, some magazines about the area and an electric fireplace in the living room. What they don't have is a TV or wifi - so you are delightfully unplugged! The pavilion does have wireless if really needed (cell service on Verizon was sketchy at best). We spent two full days exploring the surroundings and east side of the Olympic National Park - Salt Creek State Park, Crescent Bay, Madison Falls, Hurricane Ridge, the Elwha Valley, Lake Crescent, Marymere Falls, the Lake Crescent Lodge, etc. We hiked a LOT! The weather was nice - our last day it was fantastic! We had a delicious dinner at the Alder Wood Bistro (highly recommended) and a crazy-good breakfast at the Oak Table Cafe, both in Sequim. We picked up some groceries at the Sunny Farms Country Store with its great selection of organic and local produce & meats, raw honey, etc. All of these are within 10 min of the Ranch. For our 2nd night we picnicked in the front yard, enjoying the vibrant, northwest skies for sunset. This was the best Plan B ever! We can't wait to come back and explore more of the area and hopefully spend another stay at the Ranch. Sadly, Morris & Tess are Looking to retire, so the Ranch is on the market. How I wish I had the youth and money to buy it! What a lovely piece of paradise. Fortunately, the Ranch will be open in the meantime and we highly recommend you check it out!

Upon your arrival you will meet Tess, the nicest person in the world. She will show you around her and Mr. Morris's lovely farm and then offer you water and cookies.
