Swedish Chateau in PT

A unique three story custom home just six miles from downtown Port Townsend. This home sits on five acres at the end of a private road. The grounds are landscaped with a large open field, two fire pits, one with a slow cooker grill for outdoor cooking. There is a wetlands on the property with ducks, heron and a variety of bird life. There is a large private bedroom on the first floor with a king size bed, mid-sized TV and half bath. With a hot tub just outside the back door. The second floor has a living room / dining area, kitchen, bedroom with a TV room with a very large TV and a full bath. There are two decks on the second floor. One overlooking the south yard with a small table and chairs, umbrella and a clean BBQ. The second deck overlooks the wetlands. From the second floor there is a large ladder (very easy to climb) to a large third floor loft. The loft has a library and an area perfect for kids indoor play. There is a queen size mattress for overflow guests or kids and room for one or two blow up mattresses. (As with most loft spaces the sound from the third floor can be heard on the floor below. So this is not for someone who needs privacy.) The kitchen has a Viking range, a Bosch dishwasher and is fully supplied with everything a cook would want or need. The refrigerator is a small, under the counter size, and there is a full size refrigerator/freezer in the first floor carport.

There are chickens and fresh eggs in the front yard and a nice, quiet road for long walks or an early morning stroll with coffee. The neighbors are very friendly and the street is very private. We are 12 minutes drive downtown Port Townsend where you can shop, go whale watching, enjoy a delicious meal, have some wine or walk around taking in the view. Fort Worden and Finnriver Cidery are just minutes away.

Best family weekend ever

I came with two adult children and two older teens. We were warmly greeted and welcomed to the property upon our arrival. The house was so inviting and homey feeling. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking family meals including spices and dry goods including coffees and teas, Jack provided us with bread, eggs, butter and half-n-half for our arrival which was a kind gesture that we appreciated. Beds and linens were extremely comfortable. Communication before, during (if needed) and after the stay was great. We intend to come back for future family weekends!! Thank you Jack!!

Perfect Forest Getaway

My family just spent the weekend in this beautiful forest hideaway just outside of Port Townsend. We were in town for my sister's wedding and it was the ideal spot to get ready for, and relax after, all of the weekend activities. The house, the setting, and of course our host Jack, all made the weekend perfect. I will definitely look to stay here the next time I am in Port Townsend.

Home away from home

Wonderful setting, wonderful house, wonderful host. We were in town for a 3 day family wedding and throughly enjoyed having this home as our home base between our weekend events. My only regret was I didn't have more time to explore the beautiful grounds. Jack was a fantastic host, I would hesitate to stay here in the future.

Can't Wait to Stay Again

This was our third stay here. And we still love it. We have stayed at a number of places in the PNE and our whole family agrees this is our favorite place to stay. Jack's amazing hospitality and wonderful house make it feel like home. It always feels like we are staying with family. The hot tub was soothing and relaxing and the animal sightings (birds, owl, deer) never disappoint. We can't wait to come again!

A great place just outside Port Townsend

The house is beautiful and the location is quiet and serene. The garden and house are beautiful and full of comfortable things. The kitchen is very well equipped - knives were sharp, pans in all kinds of sizes, pretty plates - and we appreciated Jack's gift of his smooth favorite coffee blend and local eggs. Beds were all comfortable and the deck a lovely place to sit. PT is just a short drive away. We all agreed we would come again

Forest Retreat

The property was exactly as advertised. Everything was clean and well-maintained. We had all the amenities of home. Jack was very solicitous and made sure we were well cared for. The home is perfect for family and friends who want to be together. The stairs and loft ladder gave us plenty of exercise. Plus the secluded roads and woods were great for walking. The front yard is a lovely playground for kids. Port Townsend was an easy 12 minute drive.

Hidden Gem

Beautiful touch of nordic hygge nestled in the PNW forrest. Home and grounds are lovely and provided a wonderful gathering for our family. Kitchen is better equipped than most peoples main home! No dining table inside so might be problematic in winter months. The dining area on the deck overlooking the garden is charming. Jack our host was always responsive to our texts and quick to attend to any inquiries. As previous reviews have stated there are no window treatments but the house is situated to provide lots of privacy.

Wonderfully Warm Home

Jack and the Swedish Chateau were an absolute jewel of a find in Port Townsend. We were there for the Port Townsend Tour de Lite bike tour (via Cascade Club) and wanted to have a place big enough to accommodate us, my mom, and our three kids so they could come with. We had NO idea how much Jack's house would feel like home! First off, the property is impeccable. We all slept so comfortably in our own spaces and we were able to grill every night in the beautiful kitchen with the patio/grill right outside. Jack was so kind and curated for us delicious coffee and sourdough from the local co-op, and farm-fresh eggs, butter, and creamer awaited us in the fridge. Our kids LOVED the loft space upstairs. We were so grateful for Jack's hospitality and sweet home while visiting and exploring Port Townsend.

Quaint Chateau

The property and location are amazing. The pictures definitely do not do it justice. Jack was very communicative and greeted us when we arrived. He gave a very in-depth overview (20-30 minutes) of the home and showed us where everything was and how to use each appliance/device. The kitchen was well stocked, he provided the basic essentials for us (bread, fruit, wine), and I'm pretty sure he added an additional mattress to the loft to accommodate our group of 5 adults. It is 10-20 minutes away from town/cideries which made exploring very easy. The home itself was amazing, however our group was not aware that the host lived less than 100 yards away from the property and completes daily maintenance on the outside of the home. As this is/was he and his late wife's home he (obviously) takes a lot of pride in it, however at times seemed a bit overbearing and our group felt that we could not live up to his expectations. Although we enjoyed our stay overall, we did not feel quite "at home" as we could have as we were consistently on edge during our stay.

Homeowner in your spaces.

I rented this for family from out of town coming to my dads military memorial at Fort Worden. Twice during the service, the owner texted wanting to know when he could tour me the house. I asked if we could skip the tour and he said no. I left the memorial to meet with him and he insisted on taking me through every room to detail everything. This property is a personal residence and the homeowner stays in a cabin very close by when he has renters. His large travel trailer and pickup truck are also parked in the small driveway space. My group never felt relaxed in the space after the owner insisted on making sure we knew the does and donts of his space. No shoes in the house, no toilet paper in the toilet, don’t leave the lights on, turn down the heat. Also, there are walls and walls of family photos and in one room they overlook the bed. The hot tub is positioned where it can be seen by the homeowner, making us not wanting to use the tub. There were shoes in our space, food in the refrigerator and cupboards and so many personal items. I had rented the house for four nights but we left after two. I asked for a refund for the other two nights but my request has not been met with a kind answer. It is my opinion that personal residences make for an uncomfortable vacation rental experience and had I known, I would not of rented this house.

Cozy home, beautiful location, & helpful host

We loved our stay here. Jack was so welcoming and helpful during our stay. The home is spacious with comfortable future and a fully equipped kitchen. The gas fireplaces, bonfire, and hot tub kept us warm during the cold days. It’s located a short drive from Port Townsend if you want to go into town, but there’s enough to do in the home/property to keep you busy.
