Cottage near the Strait

1 site · Lodging4 acres · Sequim, WA

In 1883 Elliot Cline purchased the acres which once was home to the original New Dungeness. He laid out a town on the bluff above the sandy spit which curves out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Across from the farmhouse used to be a village church, the first county courthouse and the local blacksmith's shop, among other businesses and homes, including two hotels, several stores, and saloons. In 1890 the County Seat was moved to Pt. Angeles and the town swiftly declined. In 1892 the farmhouse was built, and in 1934 the beautiful bow truss barn was built. A former owner, Mr. Steel, had the barn rebuilt to modern day standards and the new owners use it occasionally for events and art workshops. Tours of the barn are available upon request.

Eagle's Loft on the Dungeness

3 sites · Tents1 acre · Sequim, WA

We bought this property 8 yrs ago so we could keep our horses on our own property. The house used to be a barn for milk cows, so this was a working farm. The family before use raised their 5 children here and originally built the treehouse. We decided to revive the worn out treehouse and share its life and beauty with other families.
