Photos and Description of the Quilcene vacation cabin rental
4 bedrooms, 1 bath, sleeps 9

Landhaus Quilcene is a very private gated residence situated on 15 acres (6 hectares) of forest land. The property features the main 2 bedroom, 1 bath cedar home (1,064 sq ft/99 m2) with fully screened covered sun porch and wrap-around deck, and 2 adjacent cozy guest cabins. (Sleeps 8-9 people). A private hiking trail loops its way through the property and offers guests a convenient choice for exercising, walking their dog, or just a relaxing walk to observe the wildlife in the forest. Distant from any traffic noise, a more relaxing time would be hard to find. The ideal setting for a relaxing weekend away from the stress of life in the city or as a base camp to explore the beautiful hiking paths and mountains of the Olympic National Forest.

About Jochen Liesche

Hi, my name is Jochen and I am the owner of Landhaus Quilcene. Originally from Germany, I have called the Seattle area home for over twenty years now. I have created this private forest retreat for my family and friends in the German Landhaus ('country house') tradition. When time allows, we come here to relax, talk, play games, sit by the fire, watch a movie, go hiking, explore nearby towns, and, above all, forget the stress of the work week. Since my family and I are using the Landhaus frequently ourselves, we have taken great care of maintaining and decorating it to make everyone feel welcome and create a great experience in the country.

Jochen Liesche purchased this cabin in 2005
Why Jochen Liesche chose Quilcene

Everybody who has stayed here always had a great time and mentions how relaxed they felt afterwards due to the serene forest setting and fresh air. Many of our guests have come back year after year and our guest book is full with nothing but compliments and people's fond memories of the time they spent here.

What makes this cabin unique

All guests love our screened and covered sun porch that allows them to sit outside and enjoy the nature views of the surrounding forest and Dabob valley even if it should rain. A quartz heater provides warmth outside when the temperatures drop. The two adjacent heated guest cabins are very cozy and afford their residents a lot of privacy while being only steps away from the main house.

Lovely, clean, well equipped property

5 of 5
Submitted: April 8, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We just spent a very enjoyable weekend at the Landhaus. The house was spotless and the property was located close to the main road but it still felt like you were in the middle of the forest. The house was well equipped with kitchen supplies, glasses, towels, bedding, and games. One of the best we've stayed in. The little sleeping cabins were cozy and charming. Our only difficulty was having one bathroom for 8 people, but we knew that going in. Close to Oyster beaches in Quilcene and Finnriver farm for cider tasting. Both the check in and check out process were seamless.

Perfect for a weekend away from it all

We've spent a couple of weekends at this gorgeous country house. Tucked away in the forest off the main road, the house provides a unique wooded retreat but with all the modern amenities. We are particularly impressed by the screened in porch, perfect for reading, conversation, or a long summer nap. The rooms are exquisitely decorated but also with a sense of humor. The large wooden carved moose head is one detail not to be missed. Since our first visit, they've also installed a large screen TV and now have high speed internet access. The kitchen is fully appointed with and all the appliances have been updated. Really, it's just like coming home.

The proximity to hiking and other outdoor activities as well as the thriving cultural center of Port Townsend means that there's something for everyone.

The owners are extremely gracious hosts and the premises have always been in impeccable condition. The listing photos in this case are spot on, and if anything under-represent the beauty of the locale. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an escape to the Olympic peninsula.

I am a veteran user of vrbo properties from Florida, California, Hawaii, and now Washington. My husband vets and sele ts our rentals and we have satisfied with almost all of the accommodations. This place was very special and is the first time I have submitted a rating. It was more beautiful than anticipated, well appointed furnishings and art, and clean. I would recommend this place to family and friends. Really enjoyed eating locally grown products such as cider, yamma yamma oysters, port Townsend bread and cheese. Was able to enjoy these things because of the literature provided by the home owners. My dog loved the place especially out early morning walk along the nature trail created by the owners. So happy we stayed there instead of Hood.

When I first viewed this rental I wondered if it was too good to be true. Absolutely not. It was so true to the description and better!! It was so peaceful and gorgeous. The walking trail was lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed the firepit while basking in the full moon. There was plenty of firewood and the piano was such an added bonus. Thank you. A+
