The Guest Houses are uniquely situated in the middle of Puget Sound, at the north end of the Kitsap Peninsula, just east of the Olympic Peninsula and just west of the mainland (Seattle). What does this mean? We're in the middle of it all - hiking, biking, restaurants, sightseeing, shopping, small towns, lighthouses, you name it! This information is just a small taste of what's possible within an hour's drive.

We recently had guests visiting from out of town and decided to take them over to the Olympic Peninsula. Since we were limited on time, we opted for a picnic and three locations: Falls View Canyon (campground), Mount Walker and Rocky Brook Falls. All three of these sites offer visitors a peek at the natural beauty we are fortunate enough to have around us. The amount of walking is minimal and the vehicle access is very easy. So on this stunningly clear day we set out from the guest houses with our box lunches from Little City Catering on SR104.
