Lovely, comfortable and spacious home. Perfect for a quiet get away or if you have friends or family in the area.EvelynJanuary 2017
Older house but still very nice. Would be even better during the summer time! Be forewarned that there is no wifi and cell reception in the area is pretty bad.... Expect to drive to town (~10 minutes) to find decent cell reception.JonathanDecember 2016
Carol was extremely welcoming and helpful. Her place has a stunning view. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.RenaNovember 2016
Had a great time! Would highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Olympic National Park. We had a group of 7 and it was great to have such a large house with beds for everyone and 3 bathrooms (all of which had showers). We had a very cozy night playing board games in front of the fireplace in the living room. Carol was a great host and very flexible & accommodating when we had to change both our arrival and departure times. Thanks for opening your home to us Carol!AndreaSeptember 2016
Felt very welcomed, and enjoyed the area. Carol went above and beyond expectations.CourtneySeptember 2016
It was amazing and absolutely breathtaking! Carol was an amazing host and so accommodating. I will definitely stay here again.BenjaminSeptember 2016
A sweet home that can accommodate 8 people comfortably (3 bathrooms a plus.) A bit out of the way, which lends to its charm. Great view of Strait and Vancouver Island and its mountains. Bedding was quite luxurious. Kitchen had everything needed to cook meals-some appliances have been updated. Overall, a lovely home for a great family vacation.PatrickJanuary 2017

Lovely place, comfortable, friendly hosts, beautiful spot next to the lake. Wifi not working is my only complaint. A little tight for 4 adults (sleeping 2 on the futon) but would stay here again!SarahAugust 2016
We had a great time at Merle's place. It was perfect for two of us. Merle was very friendly and an excellent resource for info on hiking the Peninsula. We tried a couple of the hikes he recommended and were very pleased. The location was perfect for all we wanted to do. And the view of the lake from the bedroom window was very nice. The apartment is attached to the main house but feels completely private because the garage separates you from the house. Kitchen was great. Had everything we needed for our cooking. Highly recommended!AaronDecember 2016
Merle's place was nice and cozy. It provided everything we needed and Merle greeted us personally and made sure that we were comfortable with the stay. I would definitely recommend this place!HelenOctober 2016
Merle and his wife were a pleasure to stay with. Very friendly and the place was a quiet small apartment off the back of their house. Unfortunately we weren't able to stick around the next morning but hung out on the dock and along the water watching the ducks and tadpoles. The night we arrived we got to watch fish jumping out of the water all over the place to catch bugs, along with large clouds of swallows weaving back and forth.ShylohSeptember 2016
The host was very accommodating. The cabin was next to a beautiful lake and within 30 min driving of the coast (Rialto Beach, La Push area) and very close to the Olympic forest. The cabin was cosy and just the right size.DylanSeptember 2016
Wonderful base for exploring the Olympic Coast. Merle was a wonderful host who made us feel right at home and gave us great suggestions for exploring the area. Will come back for sure! Thank you Merle! Jessica F. (Seattle)JessicaAugust 2016
Great place to stay! Merle was a very nice and helpful host. Clean, quiet, and comfortable place, I highly recommend it!KimberlyAugust 2016
Merle's place is magical because of Merle- take time to inquire of his life! His accomodations are basic and adequate , accurately listed. The location on the lake is a super bargain- a step back in time. Gorgeous lake to wake to in the morning! Would be a great place to spend more time to just soak in the Pacific Northwest!CindyJanuary 2017

The home is outfitted with all amenities.. Comfortable stay with 4 people and a baby. Melissa did an excellent job at with the homes layout. Inviting, clean and experience was a 10DaneSeptember 2015
Melissa was very responsive and respectful! Check-in and -out were a breeze. We had a great time in the guest house. After a windy and chilly walk along the beach (great for sea shell collecting), the guest house was perfect and cozy to come home to. We were also really impressed by the kitchen - everything you need to pull together a great meal. In fact, the kitchen is almost restaurant-grade with stainless steel surfaces and many sinks. My boyfriend and I love to cook, so this was ideal for us. The entire home was spotless, as well.JuliaApril 2016
Raven's Corner was a very comfortable place for my husband and I to spend a long weekend in the Neah Bay area. It is conveniently located in town, with easy access to a couple of restaurants, the grocery store, and the very nice cultural museum. The apartment is lovely, clean, and spacious, and the bedroom would be perfect if you're travelling with a young child - they will love having their own little sleeping nook. We will definitely recommend it to friends when they're in the area.DawnFebruary 2016
The kitchen was great, formally a baker's kitchen with a convection oven. Very clean and well run! Located in the heart of the Makah Tribal area, excellent access to Cape Flattery (for an amazing sunset) and Shi Shi Beach old growth trail, which features a walk of 1.7 miles of excellent forest, topped by a dark sandy beach with wondrous rocks.JonAugust 2016
Melissa was an excellent host whom provided plenty of information for us to easily get to attractions, food, and what the area had to offer. Her guest home was clean, well prepared, and we loved the full access to the kitchen. She provided a pass that you need to see some of the local sites on Native land and also had a nice welcome package for us in the kitchen. The location is centrally located in the town as well as very close to Cape Flattery and Shi-Shi Beach. She was very warm and welcoming as we chatted briefly our last day there. Highly recommend!RogerAugust 2016
Melissa's house is great and homely . Nice and spacious kitchen with all that is needed to make a meal. Nice and clean bedroom and bathroom. Only problem was the TV which was freezing in the middle of us trying to catch up with Rio games. However Melissa responded positively to our feedback. We will be back againGladysAugust 2016
Our experience here was great! The house was clean and quiet. The water was only two blocks away. This is definitely a rural location, but the kitchen is huge and well stocked, so we had no trouble preparing our meals from scratch. A beautiful getaway!HarmonyJuly 2015
The host was very welcoming and the place was as I expected but my wife was surprised because she had assumed I was booking upscale places and in Neah Bay Melissa's is as good as it gets which my wife at first didn't get. At Melissa's recommendation we visited the Makah museum which was just wonderful and surprise surprise ... Melissa (with red hair) was featured in the great video about the archaeological dig of a 1700's Makah village preserved by a mud slide. Melissa recommended Linda's cafe and we had a wonderful dinner of ling cod cooked in a wood fired oven. The owner Greg Colfax came over and chatted and it turned out he had carved the large figures in front of the museum and was also in the video as a younger man. Overall a great experience and the ocean experience at Cape Flattery is not to be missed.DenisJune 2016

Neah Bay
Michael responded promptly and answered our questions both before and during our stay...Even when our questions were as basic as where's a good crab restaurant and what should we use to catch salmon from the river? He was always very friendly and helpful. The property was comfortable and secluded. The location was a great central location for tide pooling, hiking the rainforest, and whale watching. Not to mention on property we saw a large grouping of elk (I'm guessing 40-50), 4 river otters, bald eagles and salmon. The river is so clear you can literally watch them swim right past your bait (this is both cool and frustrating). We had a great vacation here and I would absolutely recommend this cabin and host.CindyAugust 2016
What a great experience! Came here to escape city life for a few days with a weekend of winter fly fishing. The cabin was picturesque under a layer of fresh snow on the bank of the Sol Duc River. The cabin is full of pictures and personal touches that make it unique. The wood stove was definitely put to good use as we played Yahtzee in the evenings. Michael is by far the most welcoming and helpful host I have encountered in my Airbnb travels. I will absolutely be back in the summer and hope to stay here again!JenniferDecember 2016
This was a great experience. The cabin is set on the river - and that was the highlight for me -Just sitting on the riverbank, listening to the river, seeing an eagle glide by - a peace beyond words. The cabin itself is fine. The upstairs loft bedroom is accessible only by ladder, so take that into account.jamesJuly 2016
What a great place! The cabin was quiet and private in a beautiful setting right on the Sol Duc river. Michael was an excellent and very communicative host. Can't wait to get back to this special cabin soon!PatrickMay 2016
While visiting Forks for a father daughter fishing trip, we arrived to the cabin late at night. We were pleasantly surprised when we woke up in the morning to the most beautiful view of the Sol Duc River as well as a front yard that could have been out of a fairy tale. The cabin was just what we were looking for and Mike made sure that we were as comfortable as can be during our stay!M.E.March 2016
Great cabin with all the amenities you need for a home base. Great communication with Michael and fast to respond to inquiries and questions. And excellent choice for Olympic exploration.BruceFebruary 2016
The location is beyond beautiful... and so quiet. The cabin is adorable and quant, the "upstairs" was perfect for my teenage children to escape us adults. Michael was a very considerate and attentive host, always there for any questions we had. We hiked all around the Hoh rainforest and out to Lake Ozette and the WA coastline - great access to so much of Washington State's beauty.CarolDecember 2016
Michael was a great host. He checked in with us several times to make sure everything was fine (and it was). The cabin was a lot of fun. In the middle of nowhere, but still easy to get to lots of great hiking, snowshoeing, etc. We're not into fishing, but the various fishing paraphernalia gave the cabin a lot of character.RobertJanuary 2016

We loved the cabin feel of the property and it's very quiet location. The cabin was well equipped. It wasn't fancy but very cozy and comfortable. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. We liked having the washer and dryer so we didn't have to pack so many clothes. The kitchen was great and we enjoyed having many of our meals overlooking the pond which seemed to be our own private pond. It was very convenient for exploring most areas of the Olympic National Park and the beaches on the north and west sides of the peninsula. There was good fishing in nearby Lake Pleasant and a good swimming spot in the lake - although the water was cold. But that is true of any mountain lake! The host was great in providing guidance to restaurants. There aren't any on the property but she recommended several good restaurants in Forks which was only 15 minutes away. All in all we had a wonderful time.BeverlyJuly 2016
The cabin is perfect, quite, clean with plenty of room. It was exactly what I needed for a week away. I can't wait to get back.!CollinMarch 2016
A clean and very quiet cabin in a picturesque location. Well equipped and organised to suit two people on the hunt for a break from hotels - although four people could stay here happily as it was roomy! A lovely space, and well located for exploring the area. Lauren was very relaxed and helpful and shared her local knowledge and tips!JamesAugust 2016
Great cabin! Very close to Hwy 101 and easy to access, but still very private and secluded. The best kitchen we've ever seen in the vacation rental! We enjoyed two nights of home cooked dinners and family time after dinner in the cozy living room with the fireplace. Great view of the pond from the deck and a very short walk to the lake with a neighborhood playground for the children. Will definitely recommend if any of my friends will be planning trips to the area.AntoninaAugust 2016
The cabin was just as described, very cute and comfortable. The deck over the pond was a lovely way to start the day while drinking some coffee and planning the days activities. When we arrived the keys were waiting and the host welcomed us and had some helpful information on a few things to see. We were close to all the things we wanted to see, close to shopping for supplies, but away from the crowds and traffic. Plenty of space, quiet private out door space as well. If I get back to this area in the future I will definitely return to stay here again. Thanks for a lovely stay!BethJuly 2016
Laura's Cabin was wonderful! The cabin was spotless and cozy! She was very reachable for any questions that we had during our stay, the cabin is right next to a peaceful pond where you could enjoy a glass of wine and listen to the frogs! We will definitely consider staying with her at this location or her other location that she showed us on Lake Pleasant which would be great for a big long family weekend! Hope to see you again soon!!KatyJune 2016
This is a perfect location and 'home base' to see a beautiful part of the country. The hosts were great and very responsive.MattAugust 2016

Loved this adorable little cottage in Jordan River! Very clean and comfortable, nice design and well appointed. Perfect little getaway for the long weekend! The highlight of this listing is definitely the outdoor shower! Loved this, so nice and the lights were a great surprise! As hosts, they were so friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had. I would recommend this place to anyone!SarahMay 2016
The cabin was everything we needed and more. Beautiful, clean and nestled close to what we wanted to experience the most: whale watching, beaches and hiking. Candice and JS were such tintype hosts and helped us in the beginning to find a whale watching service, dinning options and outdoor activities. And their recommendations were solid! We are looking to plan a return trip!WhitleyAugust 2016
My wife and I spend the bulk of our honeymoon at Candice & JS' cottage in Jordan River, and our stay was absolutely wonderful. The space is ideal for a couple (In our opinion) and could potentially get a little crazy with more people - but would most assuredly still be fun! The interior and exterior of the cottage is beautiful. Simply constructed, with clearly thought out interior design scheme and decor. The location is ideal for anyone wanting an escape, as there is nearly nothing in the surrounding area, save for a little coffee shop (Which is quite good, it bears mentioning). Beautiful places to hike + picnic nearby. Candice and JS were very accommodating hosts and were quick to reply to any inquiries that we had. They also gave us a bottle of organic prosecco to help celebrate our honeymoon, which was super sweet and unexpected. We left the cottage wishing that we could have stayed for a week, and truly hope to return one day! I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone. (post-script: There were also some really nice locally made soaps + body butter in the cottage for our use. A nice bonus!)StevenAugust 2016
My husband and I stayed a few nights in the west coast cottage and and it was absolutely amazing! This beautiful home in the woods, quiet and peaceful, is the perfect spot to discover the west coast with great hikes! We had an incredible time there and the hosts were so nice trying to make us feel comfortable. Thank you Candice and JS for this one of a kind experience!DianeSeptember 2016
Great cabin in the woods! Very cozy. Love the outdoor shower. The cabin is a bright warm space, a perfect compliment to the wild weather elements of southwestern Vancouver Island.StephenNovember 2015
Excellent little cabin in the woods. It was exactly what we were looking for and definitely enjoy our stay.RobSeptember 2016
We had a great stay, lovely quiet modern cottage and the communication from the hosts was fast & great :)Jan-somNovember 2016
My partner and I had an awesome time staying at this Jordan River cottage. It's very modern and clean, located just up the hill from the beach, and a short drive away from Sombrio, French Beach, etc.. It's very quiet and comfortable, with lots of privacy. There is everything you need to feel at home, including books, magazines, board games, dvds, etc.. I can't wait to go back!ReneeMarch 2016

We were looking for a nice and comfortable get away and had exactly what we wanted. House is quiet and private, we are looking forward to go back again. Even though our stay was short, we enjoyed the beautiful beach of Sandcut only 5 minutes away... Thanks to Neil for a great and prompted communition.PatrickSeptember 2014
Our hosts made us feel very welcome with a little note, well-stocked fridge and pantry, plenty of firewood, fresh towels, and a clean house.SwarnMarch 2016
First off, I don't believe the photos did the rental justice. The house is beautifully designed and there is a ton of natural light which was exactly what my friends and I were looking for. Every morning was spent out on the balcony drinking coffee in the sunshine and we found it hard to leave for the beach because we were all so relaxed sticking around the property. The kitchen is stocked very well. Nice set of kitchen knives, decent sized cast iron pan, nice baking sheets, convection oven and of course a great selection of individual mugs. Items you normally don't find in a rental. Instructions and communication back and forth with Neil and Shandell was easy. No hiccups. Pretty much a perfect trip. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a place south island.JulianMay 2016
Neil and Shandell were such great hosts, couldn't have asked for anything more. All the communication was very detailed, and they were very responsive and provide lots of really useful tips for the area. The cabin itself is in the perfect home base for exploring the Jordan River/China Beach/Sombrio area. It was bigger than expected, very well stocked and clean. A great little cabin, very comfortable, private, and overall a really great value. Even managed to pick a bunch of chanterelles by the river next to the cabin and cook them for dinner.StephenOctober 2016
Our stay at Neil + Shandell's cabin was wonderful! It had everything we needed. Although it's in a bit of a remote area, it was super easy to find. Kitchen provided us with everything we needed for making meals and we found games, which provided entertainment at night. Will definitely recommend this cabin to friends who may travel to this area!JessicaSeptember 2016
Shandell and Neil are warm, considerate and generous hosts. The cabin itself is lovely. We stayed for a month and were completely at home. One could hardly imagine a better setting for rest and relaxation, and even some adventure at nearby beaches. We could not recommend more highly.sonyaJune 2016

When we arrived Kelly was there to welcome us and show us round her gorgeous place! Wow! It is pure paradise! On the West coast of Vancouver Island it's remote enough to feel like you are in the middle of the forest while only 30 km's from the nearest small town. The home was exceptionally comfortable with everything we needed and two of the highlights were the hot tub (great after hiking!) and the wonderful breakfasts Kelly brought us every morning. Thank you so much Kelly - we'll be back most definitely!!!!! Vanessa and Jim (Australia)VanessaJuly 2016
Kelly's place was better than we expected! Instructions to find the place were very clear. The place seems very new and in great condition, with a lot of character making it feel like we were staying at a friends. Everything we needed was there, including advice on where to go for hikes the next day. Perfect place to stay cozy with a Bbq, fire pit, hot tub, and heated floors! It made the basement suite feel like a luxury spot! Thanks for the great stay!BrettOctober 2016
Everything was spot on. From the directions, to the comfort of the place, we just loved everything about it. From the moment we walked in we were trying to figure out how to make it part of our monthly get away.DarciMarch 2016
We loved staying with Kelly. We had our own little apartment with kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, a lovely deck with a hot tub, and a beautiful view of garden and forest. There is a giant library with hundreds of very interesting books. Location was perfect for exploring the beaches - Sandcut beach, China beach and mystic beach. A delicious coffee shop is right around the corner. Kelly is very friendly and directions were perfect.OlgaSeptember 2016
This is a wonderful, spacious basement unit with a separate entrance. It is well appointed with lots of fun artifacts and comfortable furniture. The unit has a spacious and well appointed kitchen with lots of counter space. The hot tub outside plus the opportunity to have a campfire add to the appeal. Kelly is a gracious and very personable host and makes sure that her guests are comfortable and have all that they need for a relaxing stay. This unit would easily allow for a longer-term stay of a week or more without interrupting or getting in the way of Kelly and her family. For those travelling from the Cowichan valley on the Pacific Marine Circle Drive via Port Renfrew this unit makes for a wonderful stopping off point. Also, one could consider using this location as a base location for making day trips into Victoria (90 minutes away) or to the other nearby environs. We highly recommend this unit.PeterSeptember 2016
Kelly has a beautiful home in the woods. We loved staying there for a couple days and would definitely return. Unfortunately we were not able to meet Kelly but check in check out was painless. I would recommend to anyone travelling in the area.JordanOctober 2016
Kelly was very nice and the place was great. Everything was nice and clean. The decorations were nice and there were tons of old books in the place. The hot tub and fire pit added to the charm.WilliamJuly 2016

Kitchen is very well-stocked, and everything is super clean. We didn't want to leave and next time we'll stay for three days. One of our party is booking to come back in two weeks! Margot was lovely to deal with and super-organized with instructions. Thank you so much for a wonderful girls' getaway!CearaApril 2016
Nice quiet location with amazing views of the water. I rented this place for my sister & nieces first visit to the west coast. The climbing wall, ping pong table, hot tub and hanging chairs were a hit! I'd recommend this place for families with kids.AlfredJuly 2015
Hello Margo! We had an amazing weekend! Your house is a thing of beauty, and one of our very favorites..anywhere. It was clearly built by masters, with love... Kootenay Timber Frame Magic at its best! All 5 of us are in the trades and we were absolutely blown away by the craftsmanship and the whole experience. After years of surfing and hanging out in the area, this was a new level of awesome. Of course, it helped that the food was great and the waves were pumping! We certainly look forward to staying with you again and will be bringing our friends and loved ones with us to enjoy!JayNovember 2015
We where to families with kids and our dog. This was the perfect place to show off the beautiful west coast of BC to our family from Australia. Great kitchen, great views. Enjoy the hot tub on the cold nights. Should also be really great in the summer!Hendrik(Rikus)January 2017

We especially enjoyed the full kitchen that was stocked with everything you need to cook or make coffee! The cabin itself is super impressive and unique as well, it's the perfect place to crash after a day of adventures.

Perfect, spotless suite. We would definitely stay there again. Great hosts with Marty giving us an extensive demonstration in his blacksmith shop.BrendaJuly 2015
A beautiful place unfortunately spoiled by being bitten by their dog. He is a 175 pound rescue dog, a Great Dane, and ran out of the house behind the owner when I rang the doorbell as instructed, and lunged at my head. Protecting my face, I was bitten on the arm. Hosts were there-to-fore welcoming and had a generator going because power had gone out from a storm. The Generator was turned off at 8:30 pm, leaving us with inadequate light, no power or wifi, and no water until 7:30 the next morning. The hosts covered the cost of my favorite sweater that the dog's teeth had ripped through, but refused to refund the cost of the stay. (Airbnb has been wonderful to work with on this matter.) Also it should be noted on the listing that cellular service is very spotty and inconsistent from the cottage. We were unable to contact our family with our own phones.MarionOctober 2016
Marty and Ava's place is amazing! It is very qziet and the kitchen offers everything you need. They are wonderful hosts and make sure you feel at home right away. We got great recommendations for hikes and dinner. Thanks!NikAugust 2014
Wonderful experience. Great (and interesting) hosts, compete with huge and friendly dogs and a rabbit. Everything we'd hoped for. I'd suggest the place to any like-minded traveler.JohnOctober 2016
Friendly, helpful hosts and a great cottage. We loved our amazing tour of the blacksmith's shop and appreciated the 'homemade' treats for breakfast!SteveAugust 2016
Beautiful setting and very friendly hosts who seemed open to visiting or giving us our space. Great restaurants within a quick drive (Point No Point for dinner, Shirley Delicious for breakfast). Hosts left lovely snacks for breakfast including fresh blackberries.Lee AnnJuly 2016
This area is one of my most cherished places in the world so I wasn't surprised by the beautiful setting of the cottage and the very warm reception from Marty. The cottage was warm and cozy, the bed very comfortable, the bathroom clean with nice towels and linens, and an amazing view of the West Coast! This space is perfect for one or two people. Close to surfing at Jordan River, amazing hiking trails and beach accesses, and great little places to grab a coffee or food...you just can't go wrong staying in this little gem of a place. I'll definitely be back! Mahalo, :) BrookeBrookeFebruary 2016
We had a wonderful time at the Gilbertsons B&B in Shirley. There's one place there attached to the house and is small but it was all we needed. It is very clean (like new) inside and outside and quiet. The food provided to us matched our dietary needs and was very fresh (especially the granola). The Gilbertsons are very friendly and interesting to talk to as they are blacksmiths. A lot of their work is on display in a showroom which is really cool to look at. The property provides a nice view and easy access down to a park and ocean beach (a couple blocks walking distance to there). A good restaurant is just down the street the other way (about a kilometer distance) that gives you a good view for whale watching when they're there. Overall, we had a lovely time there and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful time away from the city that's clean and has great hospitality and kind hosts.RobMay 2013

As a first Airbnb experience my husband and I had a great stay at Kier and Tim's. They were welcoming and helpful and the suite was clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and included everything we needed during our stay (kitchen utensils etc.) The location was private and great for accessing all of the local beaches, as well as drives to see the sites in Sooke and Port Renfrew. We would definitely come back and stay again.AlisonJune 2016
Great spot. Unique and tucked-away on an impressive property, and super close to JR surf.BenNovember 2016
I loved my 3 night stay at Kier and Tim's little home in the woods, with an ocean view. It was peaceful and very comfortable, and within a short drive of so many great places to visit. Kier greeted me, made sure I had everything I needed, and made me feel truly "at home". Tim and one of their daughters went fishing one day and treated me to some fresh crab and salmon which I had over a couple of dinners, with enough left to bring some home. I slept like a dream and felt like I was away for longer. Hope to come back some day.ChristineJuly 2016
This place is awesome. Please do yourself a favor and stay here. The suite is comfortable, clean, and well-stocked--this was one of the better-equipped Airbnb kitchens we have experienced, and since we were traveling with our toddler son, Kier and Tim also went above and beyond and provided a bunch of kid supplies (toys, bath toys, movies, even baby shampoo). They were friendly and gracious hosts and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The setting also couldn't be more gorgeous--your are nestled among tall trees with a view to the ocean, and it was even pretty during one rainy day we had. The beach is truly a few minutes away (a rocky beach accessible by trail or several others are within 5-10 minutes' drive). A wonderful experience!CarolineSeptember 2016
We really enjoyed our brief stay at Salty and Suite. Kier is a very friendly host that made us feel right at home. The place was exactly as described and very clean. The beach down from the house is unbelievable and the recommended hike to mystic beach was incredible, too. Thanks for a great time, we hope to return for a longer stay in the future.DarrhMay 2016
Salty and Suite was a perfect place for our family to stay while vacationing in Jordan River, BC. The stand-alone apartment was super clean - modern and cozy at the same time and included all the necessary things our family needed to made us feel at home. Tim and Kier are terrific hosts - so warm and welcoming. Very accommodating. Can't wait to be back! A huge thanks to Tim and Kier for offering such a relaxing home away from home.ManjitJuly 2015
Absolute paradise. A perfect, tidy gem nestled in the forest. Kier and Tom keep a little treasure here in Jordan River-if you have time to spare on the island, spend it here as you will not regret it. We miss it there already. Thank you for a lovely comfortable stay :)EleanorJune 2016

Great time. Kids spent hours on the beach checking out tide pools. 30 min drive to nice beaches/hiking. House was clean and well stocked. Host Andrew was very nice and accommodating. Would definitely book again.GregJune 2016
Everything about the cottage was perfect. It has all the amenities and little details (such as comfortable beds and quality linens) required for a much needed, off-the-grid family getaway. It's centrally located between a dozen hikes and tourist attractions, if you can bring yourself to leave the comfort of the cabin. Andrew went above and beyond what hosting is and he really made our stay very enjoyable, even when we some unexpected car problems. We are very much looking forward to coming back to experience it in the summer.Sylviane & EmericDecember 2016

This is an amazing property - so private and quiet except for the pounding waves below. The lower deck was amazing for relaxing and watching the water and the stairs to the beach give you a private beach to explore. We went to the local blacksmith shop for a tour and enjoyed surfing at Jordan River. We had a very enjoyable "off the grid" weekend.ShawnOctober 2016
Andrew and family have a great cottage on the ocean. It's in a perfect location for accessing the beautiful beaches and trails. It has a real rustic cabin feel. Its the perfect getaway from technology. It was really nice to have the fire going and curl up on the couch and listen to the ocean. Thank you for sharing your space with us.HelenNovember 2016
This was a much-needed getaway for me and my Fiance. If you are looking for an unforgettable quiet getaway with your own private beach and a good amount of outdoor space with a warm cozy cabin this is it. Andrew is clearly an experienced host who has everything down to a science. I don't think I have ever had many vacations go as wonderful and smooth as this one. It was so relaxing and rejuvenating, The natural beauty that surrounds you is inspiring. I usually always give advice to the host on what to do to make the stay better however I cannot think of anything in this case at all. Well done Andrew thank you very much for everything we will most likely be back in the new year.MarkNovember 2016
Incredible stay at the cottage. What a beautiful location, very secluded and "in the wilderness". A short drive from some great cafe's and local supermarkets to stock up, then all you need is to put the fire on or wander down to the beach to watch the waves and the stars! Only an hour or so from Victoria where you can go on a whale watching tour, eat at the many restaurants and bars and see all the nice shops in town. Andrew was very accommodating throughout and we enjoyed it so much we cancelled the rest of our vacation to stay here for longer. Would recommend this beautiful island and Andrew's cottage for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Thanks againLewisDecember 2016

Fantastic location! The lake is stunning and the house is super nice. The hosts were friendly and even rented their kayaks to us! The place is secluded and quiet. Some cell phone providers may not have coverage there.LeonhardAugust 2016
Thank you for a wondful stay!凌跃August 2016
Let me start out saying that we were the first guests at this property. It was a vacation for 1 week in mid June 2016 with my parents & sister's family. Location: Wow!! The home is right on Pleasant lake with incredible views. The owners even gave us 2 kayaks and so every morning we went kayaking. The owners were there to greet us & gave us all the info we needed about Olympic national park. They even came personally to give us DVD's when my daughters wanted to watch a Disney movie!!! The home is very neat & well kept - has all the stuff you need for a long stay. The location is very close to Forks, Hoh rainforest, all the beaches with tide pools ( ruby, kalaloch beach 2, hole in the wall etc), lake crescent, hot springs. Port angeles & hurricane ridge are 45 min away.. We all had a memorable time at this place & really enjoyed the location... Highly recommended this home!!!ApurvaJune 2016
Simply amazing! I can't say enough good things about our experience! Our family rented the beach house from Laura for a long weekend exploring the Olympic Peninsula. The location is convenient--approximately one hour to Hurricane Ridge, Hoh Rainforest, and the Pacific coast. However, we loved the beach house so much that we changed plans and ended up spending one entire day hanging out there! The house is well appointed with stylish, comfortable furnishings. The hosts have put a ton of hard work into the place, and it shows. What meticulous landscaping and peaceful, beautiful location! We rented a kayak and paddle board from Laura and had so much fun eating breakfast on the deck, swimming off the dock, and splashing around in the lake. Having such a large place all to ourselves felt luxurious, and the photos don't really do justice to how nice it is! Laura was very accommodating and did everything possible to help us feel at home. My family is already asking when we can go back.MeganAugust 2016
This home was our base camp during a week long regional baseball tournament in Port Angeles. We loved being able to have our entire team out for a bbq and whiffle ball game in the yard. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit and roasting marshmallows. Another bit hit was the dock and the lake. Our boys spent most of their free time outside in the water or jumping off of the dock. Laura was very accommodating and provide assistance with navigational directions as none of the families that stayed at the home had ever visited the area before. To save time, we had our seven kids take their showers outside in the outdoor bathroom. This cut down on the traffic in the house. The adults enjoyed the sauna after being on bleachers for games during the day. Although the drive from Port Angeles is rather long, 45 miles, we were aware of this and actually enjoyed the pretty drive daily. The area is very quiet and peaceful. We left a griddle for families who love pancakes as much as we all did. The only other "appliance" that we would have loved is a toaster. That being said, however, we were very satisfied with the other amenities in the home. We shared this room with 4 families. Parents each got a bedroom and we put out airmattresses in the living room for 7 kids. It was nice to do laundry as needed.NicoleAugust 2016
We really enjoyed our stay at Laura's and Jim's place. My parents were visiting us from overseas for the first time, so we wanted to show them the best sightings in the state. The cabin was in the perfect location. It's close to Forks, where you can get groceries, but it's still secluded and private. The only suggestion we can give is to get the kitchen more equipped. For instance, having bigger frying pans and stocking more kitchen knives. Otherwise, the place is a perfect spot for vacation gateway.AliyaOctober 2016
I have to say...the current photos are misleading! The actual house is much better! The lake view is amazing -- we have private beach and dock. On July 4th we appreciated great firework show provided by our sweet neighbors. When I reserved this house, the internet was unavailable, but when I arrived, we got internet, and we enjoyed 100"+ TV! The kitchen was brand new. We are lucky to be the second guest group. Definitely recommend this house to all my friends! Thanks Laura!KunJuly 2016

Could not have done more. Highly recommend this wonderful place, owned by obviously great people. Location is amazing. Cabin is super cool.johnAugust 2016
The host had several unique containers of local flowers around the house. This made us feel so welcome. The home was gorgeous in an unbelievable setting. We spent many happy hours as an extended family playing games (provided), cooking in the well stocked kitchen and wandering the beautiful wilderness. The added amenities for Margo, our 10 month old, made the trip very easy.... Thank you Susan for sharing your beautiful home.MaryJuly 2016
Just awesomeCatrinAugust 2016
Amazing cabin! Very comfortable and cool. Close to beach and hiking.KellyAugust 2016
The host was delightful to work with. Talking with Sarah, it was obvious that she was concerned about us having the most complete experience and boy, was it ever. The cabin was very beautiful and had everything my friends and I needed. The kitchen was outfitted with everything, the shower was glorious, and I slept like a baby in my bed. I would recommend taking the trail from the cabin down to the beach. It will take your breath away. If you need to get away from it all, this is the cabin for you.ChristianJune 2016
We had a great stay in Jordan River. Sarah was helpful in getting us oriented. The cabin is comfortable and great for hanging out. The area wonderfully quiet and the easy access to the nearby Juan de Fuca trail and China Beach were excellent.DanielJune 2015
We stayed there with my boyfriend over the holidays, and we loved Sarah's cabin. The house is beautiful, cozy and warm. Moreover, Jordan river is a stunning part of the island. It was a perfect romantic getaway!sarahJanuary 2016

We had 9 people stayed in Erin & Nick's house for 2 nights, for an Olympic NP trip. It was great experience! The interior and exterior looks much better than the photos. Every of my friends gave a "WOW" when we arrived. The house also had all necessary cookware, ingredients, laundry, movies etc. Hosts even kindly left some food and drink (including a salmon!). The location was great as well. It's near the famous vampire town Forks. half hour driving to the beaches, 1 hour driving to the hot spring and rain forest. Erin & Nick were nice and responsive. Not only about staying, they provide good trip suggestions as well. Overall this is a wonderful place for holidays. I'll recommend it to everyone interested in Olympic area.KaiSeptember 2016
Lovely spot on the river - very peaceful and lots of room.LougieSeptember 2016
Our host was a good communicator and the house was clean and well appointed and supplied. Neighborhood was very quiet and house is right on river. We never actually saw a neighbor. Great access - centrally located - to rain forest, beaches, and Neah Bay. Extra bathrooms worked great for 6 of us. The house could easily hold more. We'd stay there again. Large kitchen and living room. Bedrooms are distant from the living room, and offered plenty of privacy with great views of the river.JeffAugust 2016
Our host was very welcoming. All communication was quick and helpful. It was perfect for our family. We could have fit several more comfortably. Location was beautiful and great for the fisher people!Mary JoJanuary 2017
Erin and Nick's place is big and open with a beautiful riverfront. It's in a perfect location for exploring the west coast of the Olympic Peninsula.KirstenAugust 2016
We stayed at Erin and Nick's home for 6 days. The time went too fast. Their house is nestled in the trees along side the rippling Sol Duc River. Just the sound of the river put me to sleep at night. This is a very large place with plenty of room, but even smaller groups will enjoy their stay. The nights were cool while we were there, but the wood fireplace added to the ambience. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get away from civilization. It seemed all necessary amenities were there, and Forks was just a short 10 minute drive. If we find ourselves in this part of country again, this will definitely be our 1st choice. Thanks for all the extra information you gave us on the area too. Rob and DiannRobertAugust 2016

We loved staying at the cabin! For a chilly weekend, it was perfect, quiet and out in the woods but with the comforts of not being in a tent :) If you understand that it is off the grid and can enjoy the challenges of figuring out how to cook on the wood stove, you'll love it too. Also, this corner of the peninsula is one of my favorite places and it's a great base to head to Lake Crescent, Hurricane Ridge, and Neah Bay.Sara JayeSeptember 2016
Our stay at this cabin was everything we hoped it would be. Idyllic, secluded, and beautiful. We never turned on the generator and used the wood stove for heat and for cooking. This worked great even though it rained a lot while we were there. At night the oil lamps and fire made for a sweet, warm, romantic setting. Any directions or how-to's about the cabin were laid out clearly by David, who was attentive but gave us total privacy. The cabin also served as a great homebase for us to explore the rest of the peninsula. I can't stress enough that it's secluded. We loved that! You're cozy and safe in the middle of the woods. Highly recommended.KatieNovember 2012
Dave's place was an ideal setting for our small family reunion as we were looking for an off-grid wilderness experience with easy access to beach and trails. We loved cooking meals together, sitting by the fire, reading books from Dave's excellent collection and playing music together in this well designed, well-built cabin. One note: we mostly used the grill or outdoor fire pit for cooking as we found it tough to get the stove-top on the wood burner hot enough to boil water or cook. My sister baked an excellent cherry pie in the wood stove though- delicious! Thanks for an excellent stay Dave! We definitely hope to come back some day.JasonJuly 2014
Great space and cozy fire. Lovely woodwork and close to the beach!KatNovember 2016
David was very responsive and helpful with directions and instructions.AndrewJuly 2014
We were excited for our "off grid" stay with our 2 college age sons and 2 dogs. We are very outdoor oriented having roots living in a cabin in the mountains in CO. We really had a good time. It was a very cool handmade home with lots of furniture made by our host. The location is also great although our visit was in December and it was extremely wet and cold so we didn't venture out into the immediate area so much. Dave was very helpful in answering questions beforehand and provided a well prepared manual for how to find the place, gain access, and how to navigate our stay with the generator and the wood stove. We did have a few troubles although we were able to either overcome or just accept them. The first challenge was difficulty getting a fire going hot enough the first night to cook dinner on the wood stove. The wood was pretty wet and the stove does not draw very well. We ended up going into Joyce to the General Store to get bundles of dry firewood. While there we had enough cell signal to call Dave and explain our troubles. He initially denied the wood was wet, only a little on the outside, then did suggest using fire starter blocks that he hadn't mentioned in the manual, nor did we see. We ended up following a "pre-drying" system, splitting the wood into pretty small pieces and spreading them on and around the hot stove. That is something I would only do carefully when we were around or the stove wasn't stoked higher than about 350. We also wished we would have brought our camp stove to prepare hot drinks and food when we didn't have 2 hours to get the wood stove to cooking temperature. We asked if we should and he said we didn't need that. That may be a matter of personal preference but we definitely would want that in the future. We did have an incident where the glass fell out of one of the wood stove doors the first morning. The stove was about 250 degrees at the time but we were able to carefully reset the glass and tighten it back up. There are mice, mostly in the kitchen and bathroom areas, that come out at night. We were familiar with that in our cabin before we remodeled and it wasn't that big a deal. We just cleaned up the droppings each morning and were careful not to leave dry goods or fruit out where they could get to them. Beyond those few issues all was as described and the generator system worked great. We only used that at night so we could read by brighter light and watch movies. Although we wished we wouldn't have spent quite so much time messing with the wood stove we definitely enjoyed the contrast to our everyday life &would come back, probably during a warmer, drier, time of year.NewJanuary 2017
David was a great host. He was available by phone when I had questions from the property and was amiable in allowing me to stay there during a few days of bad (good?) weather. The property was truly off-grid, but the house manual was plenty instruction for operating the generator, wood stove, etc.JamesJanuary 2017
Its very dog friendly. lets all keep that going and not loose the privilege by ensuring you pick up after animals in every facet! i.e.: toys, poop, etc. 1. we loved this place it was private and relaxing with a stream just outside for the dogs to go and unwind in too! 2. it was clean and the maid lady was cool too. 3. the generator was easy to deal with, we even left 10.00 behind to help with fuel. 4. the wood stove works well as it was still going from the previous guest and it literally took about 3 hours with doors open to cool it off, so it holds the heat very well. 5. the kitchen are is practically stock with every utensil you need, and some of us have even left items behind to just add to the list. lastly, we had a great time with our dogs at you place! thank from all "5 OF US"ChristineSeptember 2014

First thing you notice coming up to the cottage is all the beautiful metalwork! There is a picture of the dragon firepit on the listing, but there are a few other sculptures around as well as a gallery at the forge which you are encouraged to visit. The cottage is cozy and clean, well stocked and quiet. Marty and Ava are friendly and respond quickly if you have any questions or need anything.DanAugust 2016
Stay Here! This cabin is marvellous - from the spectacular view off the deck, to the the custom metal work from Foggy Mountain Forge around the fire pit - it's all very worth experiencing first hand. Ava & Marty were easy peasy and the cabin had everything we need. We'll be back and next time we'd love to check out the blacksmith gallery.VictoriaJanuary 2017
Great spot, the guest house is a nice spot to come back to after a day exploring.AndrewJanuary 2017

Great guest house and wonderful views You can hear the ocean...Fire pit is really cool too Would stay here againJennieAugust 2016
Great get away spot. Very quiet clean and peaceful. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is clean and well stocked. Towels and linens are new and of good quality. The fire pit is fantastic, with comfy seating and firewood provided. We enjoyed whale watching out of Sooke and drove up to Botanical beach. French Beach is only a minute away. We would definitely come back and would happily recommend it.BridgetJuly 2016
Lovely place and lovely people! Thanks Marty Ava and Justin.AteretSeptember 2016
We really enjoyed the forge tour and the funky art around the property. Next time we'll come back when the weather is better so we can sit by the campfire and look at the dragon fire pit! Very cool! And thank you to the family for being volunteer Fire fighters. Very commendable!LorillOctober 2016

The cabin is right in the woods. Very nice getaway.Samuel EdwardJanuary 2017
This place was definitely off the grid and secluded. It was a perfect stop on our road trip around the peninsula and I loved that it was buried in the forest covered in snow. It was warm, cozy and the bed was super comfortable. If you are coming during winter months there is snow and lots of it so come with 4WD or prepare to hike a little to get to it.SarahDecember 2016
A rustic get-away. Lovely views and walks around the cabin.AdamJanuary 2017
This tiny house is what dreams are made of! Logan and his family were kind and helpful. Amazing scenery, quiet, cozy. Fun collection of DVDs to watch. I want to come back and rent all the tiny houses on the lot in the summertime.LibbyDecember 2016
Such an awesome place... really great if you're solo or with another person looking for a peaceful and calm spot to unwind.RussellJanuary 2017
This beautifully handcrafted abode is situated in an ideal location for experiencing the exquisite PNW!LibbyDecember 2016
Loved this little cabin! It's a tiny space but perfect for a little forest getaway. Totally warm, easy to cook on the hot plate, and fun to curl up in and watch dvd's.GregDecember 2016
This tiny home/cabin is awesome! Tucked away in the middle of dense forest, it offers a peaceful and comfy place for a getaway! A great location to explore the beautiful Olympic National Park. We will definitely be back!TimDecember 2016

When a competitor walks out on stage and looks and feels better than he/she did in their last competition they are already a winner. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication, not to mention the desire, a very intense longing for something from the heart, to get as far as these athletes have. Most everyone on the planet earth knows by now how it all summed up.
It seemed that we all knew what the outcome would be prior to the contest, but we still managed to be a little disappointed. Ronnie may be the best in the world, but he wasn't his best on Oct. 19, 2002 and the only day that matters is show day, but it didn't seem to make a difference to the judges. We are without doubt big fans of Ronnie Coleman; he just wasn't at his best.
The fact that the crowd was dispersing before Ronnie received his award said an awful lot, and that is, the judges could have done a better job. Nothing against Ronnie, it's not his fault the crowd walked out. He trained just as hard, if not harder then the next guy for this day. By know means did Ronnie Coleman walk away Mr. Olympia 2002 without Kevin Levrone giving him something to think about.
Ronnie better not miss a workout. Kevin Levrone was by far the overall best bodybuilder on stage; he dialed in nicely, presented himself well in all rounds.
Kevin Levrone: First Three Rounds
Round 1 - His quarter turns were textbook, not once was he ever out of form.
Round 2 - Mandatory Posing, Kevin exuded confidence and flowed right into his poses, he has a slight lean that says, hey judges look at me!
Round 3 - Individual routine, Kevin did a phenomenal job, this was what we paid to see and it was worth every penny, he was extremely entertaining, wow! And he kept a smile on his face throughout the show. In our minds and many others, this should have been Levrone's day.
Other Competitors
Places 3 through 5 becomes very confusing. Chris Cormier, the "Real Deal Cormier", not that day! Cormier was not looking sharp at all, he got lucky, and after all it was Las Vegas. Dexter Jackson's only problem was that he didn't place ahead of Chris Cormier. On to place 5, Gunter Schlierkamp, the gentle giant. We can't get over the fact that he shows up on show day @ 300lbs dialed in, now that's impressive. He looked great, probably couldn't ever look better, but he'll never be Mr. Olympia. Gunter has 22-inch arms and 19-inch calves, not very symmetrical.
Ideally neck, arms, and calves should measure the same. Also a 35.5-inch waist gives him a blocky physique, but he definitely deserved higher than 5th place. The standing ovation that Gunter received was priceless. Not all the money in the world could have bought that moment. Let's briefly discuss our 7th place winner, Flex Wheeler. How the heck did he manage to place? Craig Titus who came in 11th deserved that spot more than Flex. Talk about playing the odds.
Bottom line is, no one will ever come in and barely beat a multi year Mr. Olympia. In this case that'll be Ronnie Coleman. They will need to demolish him on stage, and comparisons will not be necessary. Regardless of how it all turned out Ronnie Coleman is one to be admired. He worked a regular job for years, trains like a maniac, and does everything it takes to represent his title as Mr. Olympia. Speaking of admiration, how about that Lenda Murray? After retiring in 1997 to establish the Lenda Murray Fitness Firm in Virginia Beach, she returned to take her title back.
Ms. Olympia
Lenda Came in and knocked everyone down a notch. Juliette Bergmann took 1st place this year (lightweight division) without the Ms. Olympia Title. Iris Kyle who placed first last year placed second this year, Vickie Gates who placed 2nd last year, placed 3rd this year, squeezing Yaxeni Oriquen from 3rd to 4th place.
We spoke with Lenda briefly and she plans to hold on to her title for a while. Lenda promised that we were going to like what we saw this year; well she must have made the same promise to the judges. She is now 7 time Ms. Olympia. We are very proud of her and we really admire that competitive edge and that driving spirit to be the best at any age.
The events and the expo were just as exciting as the shows itself. They had everything - new inventions, karate demonstrations, and bodybuilders like Dorian Yates promoting his own products. We met our favorite fitness competitors, bodybuilders, and wrestlers and even made great new friends. We got a chance to sample new products, get free stuff and compete for T-shirts and caps - TeamDixon entered the bench press event.
Rolanda benched 95 lbs (half her body weight) for 34 reps and Devin did 255 lbs (Total body weight) for 25 reps. Go TeamDixon! There were plenty of booths - Bodybuilding.com had the best one by far, we met Troy Alves, he looks great and it was a very motivating experience. The entire event was very positive and filled with health / fitness minded individuals; it was a utopia of hard bodies.
On an average Las Vegas is probably one of the unhealthiest cities, well not on the Mr. Olympia weekend. There were beautiful people everywhere, and yes, its true, healthy people are the happiest people.

"Excuse me while I light my spliff, good God I gotta take a lift," sings Bob Marley on his 1978 song Easy Skanking from the album Kaya — a word slang for marijuana.
Today, Bob's spliff could be legally smoked in several U.S. states and it may have the premium brand of the late reggae icon.
February 6th would have been Bob Marley's 71st birthday, and the date of the launch of Marley Natural, the line of cannabis strains from the world's most familiar reggae artist.
"If my father was here physically, he would be up front advocating for this plant, so we are very proud to put our Marley Natural brand out there," Stephen Marley, the second-oldest son of Bob Marley, tells Billboard magazine.
Stephen Marley will be jamming at the Bob Marley Birthday Celebration/Marley Natural launch party, scheduled for Feb. 6 at a private Hollywood residence.
Marley Natural will be offered in four strains, each with a hue adapted from the colors of the Ethiopian flag; Marley Green, a hybrid and suggested for novice herb users; Marley Gold; Marley Red; and the THC-concentrated Marley Black, recommended for ganja connoisseurs.
The brand will be available at three medical marijuana dispensaries in the L.A. area. Dispensaries across California, where recreational marijuana is not yet legalized, will carry Marley Natural cannabis in the coming weeks. Colorado, Oregon, and Washington, where recreational pot use is legal, are next. Then in Nevada, where medical marijuana is legal and recreational usage carries reduced penalties for possession and distribution compared to other U.S. states.
How about enjoying some Marley Natural in your bong here in Victoria?
Targeted expansions into Canada is a possibility for 2017 if Ottawa works through regulatory laws.
But some in Jamaica aren't happy about Marley Natural. Funding comes from Privateer Holdings, a Seattle-based private equity firm that invests in marijuana businesses. Privateer has secured a 30-year licensing deal with the Marley family to develop weed strains and hemp-based products.
Read here how critics (including Marley's ex-bandmate Bunny Wailer) say the product won't directly benefit Jamaicans.
According to Forbes, Bob Marley (and his estate) was the 4th highest grossing dead celebrity of 2015, making $21 million last year.

Great Towl, poor Quantity
Great towels, but on overstock, I wanted to get a good deal for a great item. Instead I only have 2 complete sets instead of regular towels. I wish that there would have been a description of what was included in the offer. But, the towels are the best towels I have ever owned.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color is amazing and they look and feel great.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The towel is so soft and washes fantastically.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Not good. The site did not say how many were in a set. I assumed that since they were *** I would get at least 4. I got two large towels, 2 wash cloths and 2 hand towels. So, only 2 complete sets. I thought I was ordering just the large since that is what was pictured on the website. There needed to be an explanation.

In the last picture from yesterday's post you can see the side of an abandoned store. the pictures of Silver Islet yesterday were taken in back of this store. The store is at the tip of Silver Islet and serves as an anchor to the entire settlement. When you come around the last corner and see the store it takes your breath away.

Patchwork Dining Chairs
Do you know what's awesome? Patchwork dining room chairs, that's what. Or me, possibly? I've been feeling pretty awesome...
I started these chair covers last Monday, somehow under the impression that I could whip them out in one day. Laugh. So, 21-inch patchwork blocks, each made up of (49) 3" finished squares... yeah, those take a while, even when strip-piecing. Especially when you need eight.
And then I quilted them too, so I pretty much made a throw quilt last week and them stapled it to my dining room chairs.
Free motion quilting on the Juki! I do love making those dogwoods. It was such fun to go all-out with my favorite fabrics for this project. What better place to constantly enjoy them?
At last minute, I attached some twill-like selvedge trimmings around the edges of the patchwork squares to reinforce the outer seams and give the staples something strong to attach through. Not sure if that was necessary, but I had been saving those white twill selvedges for something.
After ripping out old staples, trashing the old covers, painstakingly cleaning all wood and reattaching the spanking new covers, we sat down to a late dinner on Saturday night and I beamed the whole way through.
Or maybe not the whole way. There was that part when Liam spilled milk on them...
That's ok, he made up for it by being awesome himself. Loved the way I found his feet crossed just so. He's always creating with paper and pens and colored pencils and sharpies and anything else. We got Faber Castell art setsfor the kids for Christmas. Mmm... all those pretty colors set in wood. I could almost frame it!
So, in other house makeover news, I spray-painted some frames yesterday for the Big Blank Wall over the buffet. We're going to take down those shelves and put up a photo collection there.
Also, I did remove two pieces of furniture from the living room (thanks Craigslist!) and reorganize. Loving it!
My creative friend, Heather, who has been cheering me on and even pressing patchwork seems, helped me redecorate a niche in my kitchen.
From "blah" and cluttered and not-working picture frames.
To clean and organized and check out those hanging mugs!
Heather and I randomly started redecorating this niche on Saturday night. Miraculously I had hanging hooks stashed away in the laundry room that worked perfectly. When does that happen?
What a weekend! I'm feeling giddy and a wee bit surprised to see so. much. progress. That's like 3 and 1/2 things from my list! And I even completed another project completely non-house related. Wuahhat? Crossing fingers I can ride this momentum through to my next project!

You are indeed awesome,those chairs are beautiful and well worth the effort.ReplyDelete
Laura xx
absolutely stunningly beautiful!!!! What fun projects and they brighten up your space so nicely. I want to drop everything now and make chair pads for my kitchen chairs :)ReplyDelete
I like what you did with the chairs! And I think you did the right thing with the Twill selvages. Keep going... it's looking great!ReplyDelete
I totally LOVE your chairs! Wow they look great... and I can't wait to see what you do next!ReplyDelete
What cool chairs!ReplyDelete
I love the idea of covering the chair cushions with patchwork covers! I absolutely need to do this!ReplyDelete
Thank you for the lovely idea!
I wonder if you could spray some Scotchguard on the chair covers to protect them?ReplyDelete
Love how the chairs came out and you even quilted them! Too cute!ReplyDelete
Did you think of sealing them with Scotchguard? I can't live without that stuff! I use it on a canvas bag that I take on flying trips, so I can put the bag down in front of me and put my feet (with shoes on)on it to use as my footstool!! Once you spray it on, you won't have to worry about any spills!!!
I love the cushion covers. They turned out great!!!ReplyDelete
"I pretty much made a throw quilt last week and them stapled it to my dining room chairs" LOLReplyDelete
You did so much ! It's amazing. Will have to steal this idea because my chairs also need some love and yours look sooo good !
That looks so good! Now I want to redo my dining room chairs. Oh to find the time! And I was also wondering if you sealed the fabric in some way to protect from spills.ReplyDeleteReplies
Go for it! No, I didn't seal them as I don't know of anything very safe to use. But, I'm pretty willing to accept the inevitable. I did make them very saturated to try to minimize noticeable stains.Delete
Those chairs are beautiful!ReplyDelete
I've been thinking of doing something similar for awhile now. Thanks for blazing that trail - they are indeed awesome!ReplyDelete
You are on a roll!! It's the little things ( or not so little and lots of work) like patchwork chair covers and pretty shelves that make us giddy! Great job, everything looks beautiful!ReplyDelete
Wow they look great - might be the inspiration I need to fancy up my chairs.ReplyDelete
How about both!ReplyDelete
Love those chairs Rachel!! Will you do mine next? ;)ReplyDelete
I am obsessed!! So pretty!ReplyDelete
So bright and modern! Great make!ReplyDelete
Wow! That's awesome! You've got me all inspired! I'm trying to talk Tim into making new sofas. :)ReplyDelete
Those chairs are gorgeous! When I first saw them I wondered if you had quilted them to help with stability... and of course you did! The quilting makes them even lovelier! xoxoReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, I'm hoping the quilting will make them more durable, but we shall see. I'll have to let you all know =)Delete
Awesome work on those chairs. It looks great against the black wood. And hey, what's a little milk between friends?? I agree that scotch guard could be a solution. Just to keep the pretties, well... Pretty.ReplyDelete
E xxReplies
Thanks, Erin! I think Scotch Guard is a bit toxic? Not as bad as it was before 2003, but I try to stay away from chemicals =)Delete
Yes you are totally awesome!! I love those patchwork chairs, the colours look beautiful! I can't believe how much you get done. I love to sit and ponder the ways I would redecorate my tired little house so I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next!ReplyDelete
So I think those might be my favorite thing you've ever made! Good job, my friend!ReplyDeleteReplies
Wow, thanks Miranda! I'm so glad the old ones wore out so I had an excuse =)Delete
Oh my goodness those chairs are just amazeing. I realy love them.ReplyDelete
Your chairs are incredible! I love them and would have never thought they would look like that! Great job and keep the momentum going :)ReplyDelete
Those chairs are too amazing! You have such a beautiful home!ReplyDelete
It looks great! (Want to help me makeover my place when you're done?)ReplyDelete
Oh my heck, those are darling!ReplyDelete
Congrats on making so much progress! Absolutely beautiful! Love the chairs especially! :-)ReplyDelete
These are adorable. One day when I have real chairs (instead of plastic ones from Ikea) I will have to give this a try :)ReplyDelete
the chairs are wonderful!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous!!!!!ReplyDelete
I love them! In envy of your free motion quilting skills!ReplyDelete
loving the chairs!! and your hanging coffee cups, so cute!ReplyDelete
Beautiful Rachel, they look fabulous! You may want to scotchquard the chairs, makes a HUGE difference. Good you put the twill on, I would have recommened that. FYI tip on your photo/gallery wall...keep things at eye level and build out/up/down from there. Do not out pics far apart (no more then 3 inches) even if you do not have that many in the beginning. They will look like they are "floating" on the wall and not "grounded"if too far apart.ReplyDelete
That's very good advice on the pictures, Cat! Right now the pics are hanging on random nail holes just to put some color up. But, I like what you suggested!Delete
The chairs are so pretty and bright! Maybe you could make the seats detachable somehow so that when there are spills, you can take the covers off and wash them. But that might be too complicated.ReplyDelete
Totally awesome! My husband would think I'd lost my mind.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yep, my husband knows I have. I'm totally getting away with this because it's "for the blog". hehe!Delete
The chairs look great. I hope your next project off your list is the yellow piano.ReplyDelete
Wow, Rachel, I love those seat covers. My chairs are a disaster, and you've inspired me try some patchwork with them.ReplyDelete
what a fantastic idea! LOVE them!ReplyDelete
Love the chairs. Well done.ReplyDelete
Fantastic chair! They look great!ReplyDelete
I read this post yesterday and did not have time to comment, and then I saw the picture those chairs again today and had to come back to this post say how absolutely stunning they are. You did a beautiful job, the chairs are so fun!ReplyDelete
Love the chairs ~ so colorful and lovely!ReplyDelete
I've been thinking of doing something similar to my chairs except for a floating pillow ~ thanks so much for the inspiration!
This is so inspiring! I love how a few quick changes totally transformed your niche!ReplyDelete
Ride that wave!
Lovely chairs! You did a terrific job, and best of luck letting them be "lived on." I struggle with that when I make something, like a pillow for the couch or a table runner, I have to consciously remind myself that its okay, it was meant to be used!ReplyDelete
How wonderful! They will be well loved and used.ReplyDelete
Those chairs are AH-Mazing! And add such a fun pop of color. Brilliant as usual ;)ReplyDelete
you rocked it! go you! and i want your friend to come over and organize a niche for me, please. ;)ReplyDelete
LOVE THOSE CHAIRS!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
I LOVE your chair covers! They are so cute!ReplyDelete
They came out great!!! Also, someone spills milk at our house every time I wash the floors. Every time.ReplyDelete
Love those chairs!! Clever you!ReplyDelete
Brilliant, Rachel! Love those patchwork covers (get some Scoth Guard maybe? Works wonders to repel stains). And yay for Heather helping with the niche, that looks great.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh never mind about the Scotch Guard, just read other comments. :)Delete

It was only 10 months ago that the international spotlight was focused on the misery of Haiti after an earthquake killed at least 200,000 people. But 10 months is a long time in the aid world.
Recent reports of an outbreak of cholera, which has already killed more than 250 people, are a reminder that once the spotlight of attention shifts, disaster-stricken countries are too often left more or less to their own devices. That this contagious disease has already moved into the overcrowded capital, Port-au-Prince, claiming several lives there, is another ominous development.
Many people who gave money at that time will be shocked to read that a disease that was eradicated in the Caribbean half a century ago has reappeared in Haiti. After so much money was raised for the earthquake victims, they are entitled to wonder why clean water still appears not to be universally available to the homeless refugees living in the country's tent cities and why, indeed, so many people are still living in temporary encampments and not in reconstructed towns and villages.
This patterns tends to repeat itself. For a brief period after a devastating natural disaster, governments in the developed world sit up and take notice and relief workers, politicians and even the odd film star pour in. Hastily assembled donors' conferences give the impression that root-and-branch changes to the way that poor, neglected countries are run are being planned and put into action.
But then the attention wanders, claimed by new disasters that have erupted somewhere else. Alas, there is no shortage of these. As a cause of pressing concern, Haiti dropped down the list the moment it became evident that much of Pakistan had been submerged by floodwater.
Fortunately, cholera is no longer the automatic killer that it was in Dickensian Britain and the United Nations says it is confident that it can deal with the latest health threat in Haiti.
Even so, the memory of the victims of this cholera outbreak will have been ill-served if all we can do is to stop the spread of the epidemic by handing out pills to people in camps. If this distressing episode does not provoke more fundamental questions about the way that disaster relief is managed, it is depressingly obvious that we will be dealing with another emergency in Haiti before too long.

Nouveau Driver Comes to Kernel 2.6.33
Good news for anyone with a NVIDIA graphics card: the Nouveau driver goes into Kernel 2.6.33 and supports DRM.
Nouveau is the free driver mainly developed by Red Hat with 2D and partial 3D support for the NVIDIA graphics cards. The nv driver currently used for 2D support is fairly old and leaves most NVIDIA cards well below their full capabilities.
Nouveau developers have now appealed to have the code of about 36,000 lines taken up in Kernel version 2.6.33, which was not previously possible in that the driver was still comprised of proprietary code, albeit a very small part. The team around David Airlie and Ben Skeggs has since outsourced this part (the ctx_voodoo microcode) in firmware that can be subsequently loaded on the current GeForce 6 cards.
The driver will first land in the staging tree, which Greg Kroah-Hartman maintains, as the drm-nouveau-pony branch. It will then flow about one or two versions later into the main branch. With the inclusion into the kernel and DRM support, most distros will shortly switch to the Nouveau driver as the standard for NVIDIA cards. Up to now only Fedora had adopted the driver that had been long classified as experimental.
