First to Review

Even though we only checked out after three nights yesterday, I'm already missing the peace and surroundings to be found at this string of five modest cottages. During our visit to the Port Hadlock-Port Townsend area over last weekend, we encountered a number of local people who had heard of Eaglemount Rockery Cottages, but had never taken a look around or referred a visitor there. I think that's about to change, based on our enthusiastic recommendation.

The good: The cottages were moved to the site and opened in 1947, and the whole place harkens back to an earlier time at first. The spacious grounds overlook Discovery Bay. It's QUIET, since most cottages are detached. Our cottage was immaculate. Fresh flowers were refreshed during our stay. Lavender sachets were in all the drawers, and the whole place was just surgically clean. The bed was very comfortable. There was an enormous dvd library in the room. The room has a sitting area with a recliner and a love seat. There's a very nice kitchen and snack bar, with a large (for a motel or cottage) refrigerator, dishes, utensils and cleaning supplies. A microwave is also on hand.

The owners are an older couple, but they both seem to be very active around the place, seeing to it that the gardens are well kept and that everything stays just so. I got the feeling that, as we were gone all day each day, very little escapes their attention. I found that feeling comforting, knowing that all our gear would be there when we came home each night. The things people might object to: But for the coffee maker and microwave, the couple insists that no cooking be done in the cottages. They installed an all-weather pavilion with barbecues, a hot plate and a nice selection of pots and pans that all guest are free to use. The cooking ban is one of a few things that some might object to, but that we found we appreciated. There's kind of a long list of "no's": no smoking, no pets, no children, nothing that's likely to disturb other guests. Another warning: the place is dominated by the things that used to be common "roadside attractions." There's a large area featuring small stone and mortar structures. There's a concrete Mount Rushmore. There is an "Indian Village" with nearly lifesized statues scattered around. We weren't enchanted with the offbeat decor, but we loved the quiet, the view, the comfort of the place and the rate -- a three night special that came in at $60 a night -- cheapest in the entire Port Townsend area. I'd classify it as a found treasure.
