Valley View Motel 162 State Route 20, Port Townsend, WA 98368

"Fun little place to stay. I've lived on the peninsula my whole life (Blyn) and came back for a visit. They were absolutely more than happy to accommodate our dog (Rottweiler) and just all around very friendly. If you come, make it a point to meet Fred, the kitty who runs the place."

"We stayed here a few months back in the summer and had a wonderful time. Quiet, clean, affordable, vintage, with goats, chickens, cats, and a nice view of the nature preserve on the bay. Emphasis on affordable, we paid under $300 for four nights. Location is meh, off the side of a highway but you don't hear it much in the cottage, and be aware while there is plenty to see and do it can be a 10-20+ minute car ride away each time. We watched plenty of Scarecrow Video horror rentals on the little VHS/DVD player CRT TV. It was the perfect setting. One of their kitties visited us and kept us company in our cottage while we were packing up to leave. There is a (mostly) abandoned historic cemetery nearby that is so peaceful, and so many equally historic and gorgeous state parks. I have no idea when, but we will most certainly be back, this place was a real treat and a cheap hidden gem on the Peninsula. EDIT: I also wanted to say the power went out for several hours because a tree hit the line right nearby, and the owners were very attentive to the situation and let us know what was going on. Good honest hardworking folks own and run this place. Stop by and give them some support."

"Just the isolation and cozy atmosphere we needed to rest and relax. The manager and his wife are very hardworking and friendly. They care for goats, chickens, a dog and a cat. We made great memories and would love to return if that day comes! Early fall is very nice and early spring the wildlife can be seen returning home from their winter wandering. Thank you for such a great experience."

"Highly recommend. Very cute little place. Quiet. Outside doesn't look like much, but inside is amazing. Perfect little getaway. And the gentleman running it, is so very nice. We called in a whim, in the evening, and he had one little cabin left. My daughter wants to move there. Lol. She's 6. Very clean. With everything you need. Full kitchen. With a lot more room than you would expect. And very affordable. Our new favorite place to stay."

"It is exactly as advertised. Modest and clean. The kitchen was equipped with pots, pans, dishes and coffee maker. Perfect stay for prepping midtrip before heading into the park. Couple who runs the motel are a delight. I was happy to give them my money."
