About this property

Lazy Bear Retreat - Peaceful & Relaxing - Reconnect with the Beauty of Nature

Enjoy the breathtaking water views of cargo ships sailing by on the Juan de Fuca Strait between the U.S. & Canada from our large windows in the living & entertainment rooms, then, simply turn towards the dining room for majestic views of Mt. Olympus & the Olympic mountain range. Almost 2,000 sq. ft. updated custom built home with big bedrooms & an open floor plan, in a quiet, peaceful area is the perfect setting for memorable year round vacations with your family or close-knit group of friends.

Peace and relaxation is what you will become accustomed to once here. We currently have 4 large bedrooms, one being an entertainment room with a Smart TV (and our Netflix Account Access), games & books and 2 bathrooms that can accommodate 8 guests in two Kings (one can become two twins upon request) and two Queens. Windows in each bedroom are positioned perfectly so you can enjoy the beautiful views when waking up and during those cozy evening!

Once there, you’ll walk up our beautiful deck on the back entrance of our home. Come on in, the bold colors and contemporary design have meshed elegantly, creating a warmth and charm that you will never forget and look forward to returning to in the future.

Each room has plenty of natural light and each bedroom is fitted with individual baseboard heaters so you can keep it perfectly climate controlled to your satisfaction. We have everything you will need including a washing machine/dryer and a kitchen with all the necessary appliances & accessories so you can prepare a delightful home-cooked meal.

There is much to explore in our surrounding area. The narrow, antiquated roads are compacted gravel, easy to walk along and free of traffic. Walk the private roads, take a stroll to the seaside cliffs, ride a bike around. Our neighborhood is absolutely void of sound pollution. It is a prefect escape to get in touch with the sounds of nature.

After a fun day of outdoor activities, you can settle in for an evening with a delightfully home cooked meal, family board games, a movie on the flat screen TV or some music for light-hearted entertainment.

One of the best features of our home is its location for nearby activities. It is a short drive to the Dungeness Preserve & Trail head to the world famous Dungeness Spit & Lighthouse. It is also a couple miles from the Cline Spit & Olympic Games Farm.

If you're feeling adventurous there are a couple great opportunities for day trips. Approximately 15 miles west, venture to the road up to Hurricane Ridge, from Port Angeles. This is in the heart of the Olympic National Park and you will undoubtedly experience some of the most beautiful views the world has to offer and beautiful hiking trails in all of the world. Hurricane Ridge is also a wonderful location for winter activities as well...Skiing, Sledding & most importantly - SNOW BALL FIGHTS!

About an hour or so from Hurricane Ridge is Lake Cresent (Glacier Blue Waters) & another easy hike to Marymere Falls. Close to here is also Sol Duc Falls and the Hot Springs...all of it a must see and do.

A drive to Cape Flattery, the north western most region of the US, and a short, easy hike will take you to amazing view on the cliffs and of the Pacific Ocean crashing into the sea caves!

Sequim is also home to many nationally acclaimed Lavender Farms as well as U-Pick farms and if you come in the spring and early summer, you will see that our Lavender fields are on par with the fields in the South of France…all this, right here in our section of the US.

Escape to the Olympic Peninsula, take full advantage of everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer!

No smoking of any type on our property.

Great place to stay on the Olympic Peninsula

We really enjoyed the house and the quiet setting. It was the perfect location for us to visit family in Sequim over the holidays and easily able to visit Olympic National Park. The four bedrooms were all good size and more than we needed. Also, the large yard is great. We would definitely stay here again.

Lavender Weekend in Sequim

Comfortable home in a great location - awesome views of Victoria, BC from the front windows and deer grazing near the front yard. Nothing fancy, but very clean and well-equipped, and the PM was very responsive and helpful with regard to a Wi-Fi connection question.

Excellent Accommodations

We stayed 1 week in Sequim at this property. They had everything we needed as a family of 4. Each of us could've had our own bedroom if we wanted. The kitchen was perfect for us to cook meals in, breakfast and supper. The entire property was clean and organized. Even the exterior was in great condition. Would reccomend to anyone looking for a short weekend or extended stay.

Awesome family vacation

The house and yard was perfect for 6 person family. We had plenty of room to sleep, cook, and relax. We enjoyed sitting in the Adirondack chairs in the evenings in the peaceful front yard. The view was beautiful. The house was located perfectly for day trips to hikes. The owner was excellent at communicating. I highly recommend this staying at this house.

Lazy Bear Retreat

What a great stay! Seeing deer and mountains in the morning while drinking coffee and planning our day was wonderful. The location is great for visiting the Dungeness Spit, the Olympic National Park and the Hoh Rain Forest to name just a few places we enjoyed. It was hard to leave, and if we are ever lucky enough to come back to visit we will definitely stay here again.

The location of this home is outstanding. You will see deer, rabbits and we saw a bald Eagle. You will also see ships pass through Juan Fuca straight. The house is roomy and comfortable. Lastly, the host was attentive, answering our questions quickly.

Perfect House

This was a perfect house to hold all 8 of us on our family vacation. Loved how everything was one 1 level - so easy to hang out with each other and have space at the same time. We had 4 kids staying with us and they appreciated the ping-pong table, basketball hoop(we replaced the net as it was falling apart), and huge yards. Would not hesitate to book again as the owners obviously show pride in their house. Communication was on point when we had problems with the keypad. One of our best vacations!

Great property! Large bedrooms. Fantastic views

We loved our stay here. The views are amazing. Deer came strolling though every morning/night. Rural country settings. Rode the bikes that were provided down gravel roads. Close to cline spit and dungeness spit for great sunsets. I believe this is the owners grandparents place. Their photo was displayed at the property. Some of the furnishings (kitchen table, lamps, living room chair ) are from their time period . Which are all in good working order…don’t let that persuade you away from this property…I think it’s a nice tribute to them. All beds were reported as very comfortable. And the bedrooms were all very large. I would 10/10 recommend this place. Short scenic drive to Sequim, but the benefits to being in rural area outweigh the short drive.

Lovely, cozy and peaceful

We loved our stay at Lazy Bear Retreat house... it was perfect for our group of 5 .. 3 adults and 2 kids. Lots of space inside and out for the kids, and the kitchen/dining/living area was wonderful for hanging in the morning and evening, enjoying mountain views one direction and the Straits of Juan de Fuca in the other.

The Place is a Gem!

This house was way too big for the two of us, but inexpensive, and we loved it! It's an older home, well established, with lots of deer wandering through the yard. It's out of town far enough that there's not a lot of light at night, which we love. We hope to visit again soon!

Beautiful Location

The views from the property were outstanding. Sea from the front windows, mountains out the back. House is spacious and roomy and huge yard for kids to run around. The location is perfect to access anywhere on the peninsula for day trips. The well water did have a slightly metallic taste so grab some at the store if that will bother you.

The only criticism is we couldn’t figure out how to use the TVs. We’re of the generation where all you need to do is turn the power button on. But, we proved to ourselves we can survive, happily, without it…a good thing!

About the host

Hosted by Vipul Chitania

Host profile image
We are fun loving, friendly and hoping to share our home with you when we are not able to enjoy it ourselves during the year. We both grew up in Southern California, went through school & primarily reside there. We love any opportunity to make a quick trip to to Sequim with our family as much as we can.

Why they chose this property

This property was custom built by my wife's grandparents. We have the original plans, images of them trenching, digging, laying foundation, putting up framework, hammering, etc. It is wonderful. We absolutely love that this house is away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Just waking up to the sounds of nature, the beautiful views and surrounding area make us want to fast forward to when we can move here permanently! But in the meantime, why not share and make a few extra dollars to help pay the mortgage.

What makes this property unique

It's absolutely peaceful. The mountain views are breathtaking. The water views are enchanting. The wildlife that wanders along is beautiful. On occasion, you can see Bald Eagles hanging out or flying by. On the clear nights, look up - you will see more stars than you can imagine. With a standard set of binoculars, you can even see the Drops of Jupiter that are normally hidden to the naked eye. Even better, get your eyes acclimated to the dark and even more appears. Look for "Falling Stars." With perfect conditions, we've been told we can get a light glimpse of the Aurora Borealis. We haven't seen it in person yet, but it is always on the target when we are here.
