Merci beaucoup.

We appreciat your sharing your beautiful home with us! We have enjoyed so much the fireplace, the beautiful views frim the deck, the sell stocked kitchen & wonderful piano!. My twin sister & I played duets from the classical book we had played from many years ago.
We had planned day trips from here, but decided to stay here instead & enjoy all the beauty & comforts your place afforded us. We especially liked walking the trails & gathering the sand dollars on the beach.
LOVED your selection of music -- especially classical & 50's music.

A wonderful house and a wonderful view. Very well stocked and we were very comfortable for our month stay. We enjoyed walking every trail and beach at "The Pointe" and have lots of pictures of the flora & founa and tides from -2.9 to +15.4 feet....
Enjoyed it all. A nice location and Jan has been very helpful. Thanks for the use of your house.

As we leave, the water is like a mirror reflecting Mt. Olympia. The birds are singing and a deer walks by the front patio.
The fireplace is lit and the jazz is playing on your wonderful sound system.
Thank you for allowing us to enjoy Mary's 65th birthday, and Tom's R&R from Iraq, and Joe's retirement in a very special way.

It is the best way to welcome summer, I have found. This year the got Hartstene attraction was the rope swing at the North Beach, although it's hard to beat the crabs, Nature Trail, and Sand Castle making!
Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us!
The best house ever!! The Deck was the best. We played board games and put a crab on our sand castle!

Thank you so very much for allowing us the use of your home. The website does not do this house justice. We were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful this place is. The unique design and setting were ideal for a relaxing getaway.
Nothing compares to the view of the Olympics off of your fabulous deck. We enjoyed having the piano, conversation pit, study, well-stocked kitchen and all of the other items you have so graciously shared. We will look forward to returning one day.

Dear Todd & Lynne,
Thank you for a wonderful week. It was so nice and peaceful here. We enjoyed your beautiful home and sitting on the deck looking at the deer and boats. What a wonderful way to celebrate our 55th anniversary and Tom's birthday. It just went too fast.
Last night we went to the clubhouse and played cards with the people who lived her .. Nice people!!
Hope to return next summer! Will tell our family and friends of your place.

I'm in the kitchen, and my husband Dan shouts in from the deck, "Come out here, there are Whales out there!"
He points to a disturbance in the water, so we waited, and waited ... Then I see the fins!! The motion of the Orcas is clear - 3-4 of them. How exciting!. Saw them the next day - closer this time. What a nice surprise!

Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. Here on business to direct a show on building backyard sanctuaries. How nice to come back after work to such a beautiful "natural" backyard santuary.
Dinner on the porch watching the deer. Watching the otter float by and plenty of beachcombing with my 7 yr old son.

You have a great house, wonderful location, very quiet and peaceful with all the amenities. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching and hearing the loons. Also say lots of deer, down at the marina and then right by the house. So tame - they came right up to you. A very relaxing time. Thank you.

Our 3 generation family enjoyed your house and Hartstene Pointe. It has been 17 years since we had visited HP and it really has changed. Minus tides so we shlupped across mud flats to find marine life. .... It was so easy to come in since you had all the amenities and we didn't have to struggle packing in dish soap, paper products, etc. .. Thank you for sharing your most exqusite home. Thank you for a memorable time.

Wow!
Your beautiful home has provided us with the rest and repose we so dearly needed. We will miss the guiet, the soulfulness, and the views. Got into the subtle changes that come almost constantly -- the calm of the morning, the afternoon dramatics, and the evening lullaby.....
We are so grateful for the reservoir of peace.
Melodies in trees,
Breezes bring a rain of pure
Peace that sings the Light.

Despite the rain-sun-rain-sun etc., we very much enjoyed our visit in your beautiful home.
We walked every day, went to the beach and took day-trips to Port Townsend, Seattle, and the ocean. Many hours were spend sitting on the deck. Even during the rain, it was beautiful, reminding us of the Hoh Rain Forest.
As life-long travelers, we have rented many homes and yours ranks among the best. You provided everything to make us comfortable. The design of the home is most unique. As a recently retired music teacher, I enjoyed playing the piano a bit.
Many thanks for sharing your home with us.

Mother's day and Rod's 60th birthday: What a delightful weekend it has been to get away to this serene & beautiful setting to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday with the family!
Thank you so much for sharing your unigue and beautifully appointed home with us. The music of the grand pianno and classical CD's was a joy, as was the early morning time out on the deck, listening to the birds and watching the wildlife.
We appreciated your gracious invitation to use your kitchen supplies if we forgot any (see note in the cereal box). What a blessing to be here this weekend!

We all really enjoyed our 2 night stay in the Octagon house. We felt right at home here. It is so peaceful and lovely, having coffee in the morning on the deck was truly heaven. The beds are quite comfy, and the conversation pit was the place we all hung out to play cards, read, or nap. Thank you for sharing your special place with us. We hope to return.

We enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving - Family retreat here.
The first day was stormy and mystical and we spend a romantic afternoon baking pies. On Thanksgiving the sun came out and we enjoyed the views and conversation pit with family. The space has a wonderful way of bringing people together to share the experience. We hope to return in June for our wedding celebration and would love to stay here again.

After staying in your home last weekend I felt complelled to tell you how much we enjoyed your home. I practiced the piano, we read our books on the deck and after a great night sleep we were up early each day to walk every trail on The Pointe. The house is attractive, interesting, well stocked and your honesty system with supplies made us feel at home.
We have been to the The Pointe many times and it is one of our favorite places. Someday in the near future we hope to have a vacation home of our own there. Until then, we will enjoy yours.
Thanks again,

You were so generous to shar all your comfy furniture & furnishings as well as your very well-stocked kitchen -- we lacked for nothing!
All in all we had a very relaxing & pleasant stay. The view from the deckk & living area is quite and serene.
Our daughter (8 years old) wanted to say she really, really liked all the skylights -- especially the one in "her" queen room.
Thank you again for all your generous hospitality.

From a note sent to us from a recent guest:
On June 27th & 28th we were thrilled to stay in your lovely Harstine Island home. We have visited there for about 25 years now, staying with family until the last 5 years. When they sold and moved to Palm Springs, we have been fortunate to find homes to rent on occasion since this is our family's favorite place to vacation.
Yours is by far one of the lovliest and most comfortable for our family. Thank you so much for sharing your home. We look forward to going again soon.
