The Cottage on the Bay, my personal home away from home. This last weekend marked my 3rd time staying at Bud and Carol's quaint cottage and there's not much more I can say then, when are we going back? We stumbled onto this perfect vacation spot last year and loved every minute we were there, so much so, we reserved a weekend for my husbands 40th birthday 3 months later. We stayed away too long and just had a girls weekend/Mother's Day vacation this last time and I took my much deserving mom and daughter to experience this relaxing little gem on the bay. My mother of course fell in love and I wouldn't be surprised if she hounds me to book reservations for some other hoilday/birthday/made up day of celebration in the next few months. I love the cottage for so many reasons there's not enough characters on this review to go into all of them. So I'll try and hit on the most important to me. It's clean, very clean. It's decorated and comfortable and homey and makes me feel more relaxed then my own casa. Its close, an hour and a half and bam we're there. It's convenient, Sequim is small enough to be a sleepy little town but big enough to be entertaining and has all the ammenities one would need. The location is perfect for me to walk to the Discovery Trail and keep up with my daily exercise while bird watching and taking in the beautiful scenery. The views while I sit on the couch is breath taking and the picture window in the dining room is just as serene. It's quiet. I can go on a hike in the Olympic National Forest and come back in time for dinner and a movie without feeling like I was gone all day and exhausted from the drive. The availabilty of the owners is perfect, their on the property but never in your space unless needed. It's great for small families, romantic getaways or a girl's weekend. It's my Disneyland tucked away on a small winding road across from water that is smooth as glass. I love this cottage. Bud and Carol you really lucked out. Thanks for opening up your home to us and allowing us city folk a taste of the slow life. I'll be back, I'm checking my calender. I would highly recommend this property to anyone that wants a relaxing getaway and helpful owners.
