ABOUT OUR MT. PLEASANT GARDEN VIEW RANCH COTTAGE:
This very popular cozy, elegantly appointed, rural and peaceful cottage, is 3.5 miles up the mountain on a 5 acre former horse ranch hillside with Spectacular Panoramic Saltwater Views of BC. The Cottage is completely furnished, including artwork, bedding, luxury linens, kitchen, dishes, and numerous amenities & upgrades to make your stay that much more comfortable & enjoyable.
The Mt. Pleasant Garden View Ranch Cottage, is located against the Olympic National Forest Mountains, overlooking Victoria, Vancouver Island BC, the Strait of San Juan de Fuca, Alaska Cruise & freight shipping lanes, Mt Baker, the Cascade Mountains, & the Olympic Peninsula, Coastline & Mountains, with Spectacular Jaw Dropping Mountain & Water Views that will truly take your Breath Away.
We are centrally located within easy driving distance to & from almost everything that the Olympic Peninsula has to offer.
The cottage includes one step down (watch your step) very large private master bedroom with comfy queen bed, side tables, writing desk & chair, relaxing rocker & roomy dresser. There is a step up (again, watch your step) to get to the en suite full bathroom with tub and shower to suit your needs. So we caution you when you come & go from the master bedroom due to the step. There is a twin blowup bed & linens for a 12 year old or older child or friend, (if needed for an additional cost of $35).
All necessary luxury linens & towels, washer & dryer, full kitchen with all the amenities, dishes, glasses, mugs, pots & pans, utensils & flatware, coffee grinder and maker, teas, spices, & cooking oils, are also included, as well as all soaps for the washer, bathroom, dishwasher & sink, along with toilet paper, paper towels, facial tissue, placemats & cloth napkins.
The large living room seats 3 - 4 and dining area seat 3, with huge picture windows overlooking your own private spectacular Olympic Peninsula & Canadian Ocean View, Alaska Cruise & freight shipping lanes, & your private gardens. You can pick from our many fruit trees and our seasonal vegetable beds (when available) to make a lovely healthy meal for yourself if you are in a pinch & could not get to the local organic markets in Sequim (Nash's Farm Stand or Sunny Farms Market) or Port Angeles (Country Aire Natural Foods) or Saturday morning Farmers Markets in time.

WAVE HIGH SPEED INTERNET and WiFi:
To meet the demand of remote working & learning, the Cottage NOW has WAVE High Speed Internet Broadband WiFi at around 250Mbps. This was just added 10-24-2020 !! The living room has a 42" flat screen TV, and Wave Cable with HDR and VCR-DVD Combo for the TV. We also provide a modest selection of VCR & DVD movies for your viewing pleasure if you just want to cocoon, snuggle up and stay in. Outdoors there is a table for 4, 4 comfortable Adirondack chairs, a bench, propane grill, & a charcoal BBQ grill for your outdoor dining pleasure & relaxation on your private deck overlooking Canada and the Strat. BBQ charcoal and lighter fluid can be purchased at the local stores. You can actually say to your friends that ............ "I can see Canada from my House" from this lovely cozy private cottage on the hillside, where you are king and queen of the hill. Enjoy your morning coffee or sip your evening wine on your private deck as you overlook the view.

NO SMOKING, NO FIRES, NO FIREWORKS:
We Do Not have a Hot Tub on the property, nor a Firepit due to severe fire hazards, droughts, sparks & winds. So we do NOT permit Smoking of any kind in or around the property, NO Fires, NO Fireworks.

OPTIONS:
If when you try to book the Mt. Pleasant Garden View Ranch Cottage, and it is already booked, not to worry. We also have the Main Ranch House for 2-6 guests. In additions, we have another property nearby in Sequim WA, just 15 minutes east of the Mt. Pleasant, called Bond Ranch Retreat. Its a short 1.4 miles up a small hill to the south, but opens up to a spectacular 8 acre flat open pasture, private fairy forest and stream. Its on a former horse ranch as well, and is made up of various charming cottages from repurposed ranch buildings from trees felled from that property over 60 years ago. Just go to our VRBO listing for "Bond Ranch Retreat" or online to see read more about it. You can hear more shared stories and adventures around our nightly bonfire. My cousin Lisa manages Bond Ranch Retreat for us. Consider making a reservation there when the Mt. Pleasant Garden View Cottage & the Main Ranch House are already booked.
Or if the beach is what you like, consider our spectacular Freshwater Bay Elwha River Mouth Beach property, the "Duck Pond", off of scenic Hwy 112, 10 minutes west of Port Angeles. A true gem, that can sleep from 2-10. All properties are listed on VRBO.
Please refer us to your friends and family as well for all our VRBO sites when they are planning an adventurous trip or romantic getaway to the Olympic Peninsula.
Do Come, Stay for Awhile, and Have a Wonderful Adventure in the Olympic Peninsula and National Rain Forest, or just take a Romantic Getaway from it All and Cocoon. We have just the place for you.
Enjoy your stay in our Mt. Pleasant Garden View Ranch Cottage !

About the host

Hosted by April Gillette

Host profile image
April & Jim are both retired, but not from life or achievements that still await them. In 2014, both of them graduated together with honors from Hancock College: she in Viticulture and Enology; he in business & accounting to name just a couple of his 6 degrees. Also in that year, their larger family decided to sell their historic150 year old Family ranch & vineyards outside of Tracy, California on Delta Island. April spearheaded exchanges on 4 new similar properties. Now some would buy these properties close to where they live. Not April. She decided to purchase various properties up & down the Pacific Northwest Coast: Bond Ranch Retreat, Sequim, WA, 15 minutes east; Mt. Pleasant Garden Ranch Cottage & Main Ranch House; the Duck Pond at Freshwater Bay & Elwha River Mouth, Port Angeles, WA,15 minutes west; & Casi Cielo Tuscan Vineyard in Forest Grove, OR, just 30 due west of Portland, & what gems each of them are !

April, an award winning former Nationally Certified Interior Designer from Los Angeles, California; & Jim, a former social worker & fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity, from Seattle, Washington; both met while working on the1995 Habitat for Humanity Jimmy Carter Work Project in Watts California when April lived in Compton. They were inseparable after that & married in 2001, 2 days before 9/11.

While searching for exchange properties, April fell in love with the Olympic Peninsula & the Rain Shadow around Sequim. Although both have lived in large cities most of their lives, about10 years ago they decided to leave the hustle & bustle of city life & move to the country. They moved to the Santa Rita Hills, which is known for their Pinot Noirs, in the Santa Ynez Valley, just 45 minutes north of Santa Barbara, California. But now they intend to move permanently to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington where the Mt. Pleasant Garden View Ranch Cottage & Main Ranch House are now. Back to Jim's roots, a simpler life & ever changing seasons & down to earth neighbors.

Why they chose this property

Mt. Pleasant Garden View Ranch is a spectacular property and a gem in the Olympic Peninsula overlooking Saltwater views and Canada. The main house is just perfect for us. The cottage was an added bonus as it was a successful 5 Star VRBO vacation rental for 9 years with over 70 glowing reviews. Since April and Jim have been in the vacation rental business for the past 7 years, it was a natural to have one on their own property where they will eventually retire to. But for now, we enjoy it throughout the year, as we continue to travel and run our businesses in 3 states. The former owners were impeccable and detailed with the way they designed and built this amazing property. You will agree once you stay, and see what a gem it really is.

What makes this property unique

The Mt. Pleasant Garden View Ranch is close to everything. Yet it is high enough up in the hills to seem like you are hundreds of miles away from life, however it is only 3.5 miles up the mountain. With that said, it is the perfect place to get away to and escape the hustle and bustle of the crazy hectic city. The Cottage is spacious, comfortable and elegantly appointed and has everything that you might need. Not to mention it has a dynamite panoramic view of the Strait of San Juan de Fuca and Vancouver Island BC that will truly take your breath away. Yet it is still peaceful in a rural ranch setting and garden environment way up above it all. What more could you ask for in a vacation location?
