Private beach access - located in a secluded community | House in Port Angeles
1 Bedroom House in Clallam County, Port Angeles
The Gnome Home is one of the most recent additions to our small, private salt water community of rentals. It is located in a neighborhood called Agnew, which is half way between Sequim and Port Angeles, on the North Olympic Peninsula. Our location is very unique as we are one of very few properties having private access to the salt water beach. It is set apart and secluded by being found at the end of the county road where traffic stops and the deer, eagles and other wildlife choose to make their home within the special area bordered by the fields of the farm, the creek and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
The Gnome Home along with its tiny twin next door, the Fawn House, is the smallest of our rental choices. It is privately set back against a woodland lot having a winding nature trail through it leading to the unique, although challenging for some, spectacular beach trail, a five minute hike down through the wildlife habitat area which is a steep gulley along our section of the magical McDonnell Creek. The creek ends its journey from the top of the Olympic Mountains by forming a quiet lagoon at the base of the beach trail which is a wonderful wildlife spotting site for viewing playful river otter, fish and birds like the kingfishers and eagles. From there the lagoon spills on to the rocky salt water beach strewn with logs and driftwood where you can hike along the mostly uninhabited beach toward the world famous Dungeness Spit as you watch the ships pass through the shipping lanes between the U.S.A. and Canada.
We offer other easier walking nature trails to explore as well, where you may want to sit and rest or watch the evening sunset and spectacular view.
The Gnome Home sleeps two comfortably in the queen size bedroom and two more in the double size sleeper/sofa in the main living area. There is one bathroom with a shower, having a skylight overhead. The small laundry set, a full size refrigerator, propane stove and microwave oven all add to your convenient stay. An electric fireplace provides some cozy ambiance while you relax in the living room and watch basic cable T.V. or find entertainment with WIFI.
It is fully equipped with dishes, glassware, pots, pans, utensils plus towels, blankets, pillows and linens.
It is a twenty minute drive into either of the nearby towns, both of which have several choices for grocery shopping, restaurants and gift shops.
For quick items or great wine choices, you would want to visit the nearby, neighborhood Agnew Grocery & Feed which has many other fun things to offer including farm animal viewing. The Olympic Discovery Trail is a mile away where you could ride a bike into either of the two towns and beyond on what used to be the old railroad line.
The Olympic National Park is a close drive from Port Angeles, up the mountain to famous Hurricane Ridge. There are so many other special sites and hikes to see as well on the North Olympic Peninsula. When you are ready to venture out, many of the places you will want to visit such as the beautiful, clear blue Lake Crescent and the Sol Duc Hot Springs are within about an hour’s drive away. Even the temperate Hoh Rain Forest and Pacific Ocean beaches can be reached and enjoyed during a day’s trip from the cozy Gnome Home you will return to in the evening after your fantastic day long outing.
