General overview
Calling all nature lovers! Our peaceful forest home is tucked behind a hillside and nestled back in the trees with sweeping views of the Olympic Mountains; the perfect place for anyone looking for a quiet retreat to rest and recharge. Enjoy all the silence and seclusion of camping with all the comforts of a cozy and modern home. There's nothing to see but the mountains, sky, and greenery; nothing to hear but the bees, birds, and the wind through the trees. On especially still days, you can even hear the creek gurgling from the bottom of the hill.
The space
Take your morning coffee on the balcony with a picture perfect view of the early sunshine lighting up the Olympic range. Putter around the rock garden and our little trails, picking wild strawberries, blackberries, huckleberries, salmonberries, and mint (PLEASE take ALL the mint!) Enjoy the cool nights on the patio under the string lights and the stars, with the fire bowl to keep you warm. Feeling athletic and adventurous? Our trails directly connect to a rugged footpath that winds down the ridge to a broad creek; trek the riverbed through the 3000 acres of conservation forest land that borders our home!
The house itself is full of windows, bringing in light and the surrounding views. With vaulted ceilings, skylights, and an open loft, it feels bright and airy even on cloudy days. Stay comfortable in any weather with the heating/cooling mini-split and radiant heat floors, or make things extra cozy with the wood stove. The kitchen, complete with a brand new sink and induction range, is fully equipped for all your cooking and baking exploits. The king-size memory foam bed and blackout curtains will have you hitting snooze on your morning alarm. Let the heated bidet and towel warmer pamper your every bathroom trip. We have two office spaces for working from home, high-speed internet on a mesh network, and a smart TV with multiple streaming services.
Guest access
Two floors in the main house. From the covered porch you can access the laundry room is down a half flight of stairs, and another set of steps downward will take you to the garage/basement with a workout room.
Notes
Cortana and Siri are not a huge fan of other dogs or young children, so we are unable to invite either while they are here (such as Hospitality style stays or some of the Non-Simultaneous stays where we hope to leave Cortana to be minded.) During swaps where we will be bringing both dogs with us, we are happy to invite your well-behaved dogs into our home too!
There is only one bedroom in the main house with a king-size mattress. The other two beds (king and full) are located in the ADU, which is a separate structure next to the main house.

Neighbourhood
Out home is located in Seabeck, a little peninsula town conveniently situated 20 minutes from Silverdale shopping and 30 minutes from the Bremerton ferry terminal, which connects to the heart of Seattle. Seabeck is full of parks and wilderness, offering close access to gorgeous trails through forests, up scenic ridges, and down sunny pebbled beaches.
Getting to my home
The best airport option is the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, from which you take the light rail to the Colman Dock (for the Bremerton ferry). On the Bremerton side you will require a vehicle, or we can pick you up!
Nearest airport
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, about an hour and fifteen minutes away by car.
Getting around
A car is required for our location, and 4WD is recommended for our steep gravel driveway. If you are adept at manual transmissions we can usually offer the use of our car.

Adelia
Hello! We're Adelia and Jack. We're both mid-30s, office-hybrid software engineers, and we love to cook and spend time outdoors. We feel very lucky to live in a beautiful location with two wonderful dogs, and we're looking forward to sharing a little slice of our lives with like-minded people.
We are seasoned hosts on the pet/accommodation exchange site TrustedHousesitters, and as such all of our good home photos feature our dog Cortana! We're excited to dip our toes into more home exchanges and we're happy to send you a link to our THS profile, with reviews from all 19 people we've hosted.
