Why do we write these reviews? All we need to do is rate it, 1 for “nah” & 10 for “don’t pass it up.” We can skip the hypothetical “nice bed, good communication, not enough spoons, too many pillows, not enough pillows.” But sometimes, you find yourself at a special place that transcends a number rating & all you want to do is tell the owner “THANK YOU!” The cottage on chase lane is nothing less than exceptional. A superlative set of rooms united by wood choice, wall color, sky lights, rabbits, candles & so much more. The front door & bathroom mirror like so many other details, appear to be hand crafted. It feels like home. Except home isn’t quite this good. It feels br& new, but with warmth- not stagged. Have you stayed at a place that looks nice until you open a drawer only to find old pans or left-over oils & spices dating back to the 1990s? Not at the cottage. You will be making coffee & cooking with items that you would want at home. You may even find a wonderful basket filled with upscale treats, coffee & teas. It felt as if I was going to visit family & they wanted to make sure that the place was perfect. We came to explore Port Townsend but ended up wanting to just enjoy the rainy days inside this charmer. The nearby roads are fun to explore & perfect for a short run. I almost feel as if this little house is the master work of someone special & I am not sure why they are letting ordinary folks stay here. But alas, they are so enjoy it while you can. P.S. This is a 10!
