Water & Sound View Getaway Suite – A Romantic PNW Escape

Welcome to your private Water & Sound View Getaway Suite, a peaceful retreat tucked inside a historic 1900s beach cottage overlooking the Puget Sound. Local legend says this home once served as a bootleggers cabin during the early days of the Pacific Northwest. Today it has been lovingly restored into a quiet and romantic getaway filled with charm, comfort, and unforgettable views.

This suite is designed for romantic escapes, peaceful solo stays, short visits to the Seattle area, and business travelers who want something far more relaxing than a standard hotel room.

With a private outdoor entrance, breathtaking water views, and your own outdoor relaxation spaces, this cozy suite allows you to fully experience the beauty and tranquility of the Pacific Northwest.
