Puget View Cottage is set gracefully among towering firs and rhododendrons on a promontory above the broad south shore of Puget Sound. From your coffee table inside the cottage, outside on your deck, or in the garden hammock, Puget View --- on the grounds of your host's vintage log home --- welcomes you with peaceful beauty and comfortable hospitality, making Puget View Cottage a great choice for weekend getaways, romantic retreats, and week-long stays of family fun.

On winter days, cozy up in the cottage, or collect a few sand dollars. Explore the neighborhood rain forest of gorgeous 100-acre Tolmie State Park, nearly next door.
We have over a dozen guest books of lovely notes from former Puget View guests---and friends! We look forward to adding your name to the list and to hosting you at Puget View!

Silent Serenity!
My wife and I have family in the area so this was a perfect location to have our little place of paradise. We were blessed with both beautiful views and wonderful hospitality from Dick and Barbara. Barbara and Dick welcomed us with a clean and organized atmosphere. With attention to details and added amenities like the continental breakfast on the first morning. Our grand kids came for a visit and had a wonderful time on the beachfront! Thank you Dick and Barbara for being apart of our weekend getaway!

Beautiful Retreat
We spent two nights in this wonderful cottage. It’s a very nice, well maintained and charming place. The hike down to the beach and along the coast was nice. We didn’t kayak because of the wind and tide times, but that is a nice option.

Anniversary Trip
This was an amazingly perfect place to stay! We loved the walk down to the beach, which was covered in sand dollars and purple shells. The bed was comfortable, and everything we needed was easy to find. It was a very well-thought out little cottage, and will will happily stay here again in the future.

Great little gem
Had a wonderful few days. Accommodations were perfect for the two of us. I showed off some serious toaster oven skills and the two burner stovetop was just right! Sweet bonus of eggs and muffins was just perfect! So much to explore. Path to the beach is steep but just take your time and grab one of the walking poles and you will be fine. Would recommend and already have! Thank you!

Serene waterfront view of southern Puget Sound
Upon arriving we were taken aback at how enchanting and peaceful the garden and cottage are at Puget View. The small cottage was perfect for the two of us. The hosts communicated proactively and included details that added a special touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay.

My sister and I met at this central location for a long overdue visit. It was perfect!! The pull-out couch was as comfortable as a "real" bed. The views were wonderful and the outdoor opportunities were plentiful! I would like to come again with my honey!!

Quaint, quiet little beachside cottage with incredible view!
We felt so blessed to spend the entire month of August at Puget View. We not only had a great view of the Puget inlet but could also see the Olympic Mountains. It was also wonderfully quiet. Many days, we passed on touristy activities just to soak in the peaceful setting. A great place for a couple or a close, small family to get away from it all. Barb and Dick were also wonderful hosts. Highly recommended!

Perfect Getaway
This is an incredibly special place for a peaceful, quiet getaway. Even though it rained pretty much the entire time we were there, it didn't detract from the beauty and peace all around us! And we even got a long enough break in the rain one day to take the kayaks out for a bit. The cottage is carefully cultivated to provide everything you could need, with so many cute touches and details. We absolutely want to come back, and will recommend it to friends!

Beautiful property!
Wow! What a gorgeous location and adorable cottage! This was such a great location for a weekend getaway with a friend of mine. We enjoyed the quiet of the neighborhood and the stunning views overlooking the water! A quick walk down a path from the property or a short walk over to the state park provide easy access to the water. Dick and Barbara were such wonderful hosts. :) Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us. We will absolutely be back!
