excellent

Everything about this place was great, especially the squeaky wood floors from 1924, reminded me of my ancestor's homes in the east. I am local with no room for more than 2 people, so the best part was that I didn't have to do the laundry for 5 beds along with all the towels, etc. and was able to be there as a guest while still close enough to grab anything that I forgot to bring. All of my family had a great time and found Sequim to be the perfect location to venture out on short sightseeing trips without having to fight big city traffic.

Winnie was a wonderful host and very communicative throughout our stay. The house is lovely with a beautiful and calm energy and our group really enjoyed all of the amenities provided. A few did have some allergies with the top master bedroom, but I found the house pretty clean

Charming Cozy Respite

Winnie’s home was a welcome hug at the end of a day of hiking. It was truly comfortable and offered all the amenities one could want. Winnie was very thoughtful and meticulous to insure her guests comfort. The house with its charming bedrooms and common rooms was immaculate and we especially enjoyed sitting in front of the gas fireplace in the morning to enjoy our coffee and look at her magnificent gardens. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. And we were especially grateful that Winnie took the time to greet us personally and acquaint us with the house.

Family fun!!

This was our second time to stay at the Heritage House. It is a beautiful home, plenty of room inside and out. A large private yard is fun for the kids and adults. Being able to walk to shops, the farmers market, restaurants, makes it very convenient. Plenty of parks and beaches to visit. A perfect home!!

On a scale of 1 to 10, this was a 20

July, 2024. This house is charming. The owner has anticipated anything we could have wanted, and was available if we had questions or needed anything. I rented 3 houses for a family reunion. This was by far superior to the other 2. We loved gathering in the beautiful yard in the evening after dinner. There were even fresh flowers on the table. Absolutely loved it.

An Eden...Welcoming, comfortable and convenient.

Our family agreed that Heritage House was perfection. We were able to cook, eat and play together on the property and yet enjoy the quite intimate spaces. Ideal for hanging nearby or heading out into nature. And the host was a gem... available and nurturing. Perfect;

Beautiful and spacious house.

My wife and son were participating in the marathon so we wanted a place where the whole family could come to support them. Finding Heritage House was perfect. All 8 of us were able to be under one roof, share meals together, play games, and have an amazing place to relax. We’ll be back and highly recommend staying there.

Amazing Property

We had a great time basking in the comfort of Winnie’s beautiful home. She has everything available you could ever want/need. She, personally is a warm and welcoming hostess! It is in a perfect location for exploring the Olympic National Forest, the beaches and byways. There is access to the Discovery Trail for biking, great opportunities for hiking and the Sequim community, along with Port Angeles and Port Townsend have delightful boutiques. The nearby Native American Art Museum/gallery is an inspiring place to visit also.

And the bonus was a huge carshow on Saturday also. The owner of the home is so very nice and makes sure you know all of the nuances of this home. We will definitely be returning.

Beautiful historical home

The Heritage House in Sequim is an historical gem! Our family enjoyed the beautiful home's spaciousness, lovely gardens and wonderful location as our home base for exploring the Olympic Peninsula. Winnie was the perfect host -- kind and attentive but not at all intrusive. As a history professor, I very much loved the this historical home and hope to come back again soon.

Amazing Gem in beautiful Sequim

We were fortunate to be able to stay at Sequim Heritage House after a last-minute cancellation. What an amazing home and property. The house itself was spotless, and maintained all of its historical charm while being nicely updated with AC, new kitchen appliances, washer/dryer, bathroom fixtures, etc. While our stay was short, the kitchen is well stocked with everything needed for a longer stay. The garden is beautiful and has a hammock and chairs for relaxing in the shade. Our host, Winnie, met us at the home at the arranged check-in time. She was very helpful in ensuring we knew how to operate the AC (a ductless system) and gave great recommendations for local restaurants and activities. The home is located in a quite neighborhood just a few minutes walk from restaurants, cafes, and bakeries in downtown Sequim. We highly recommend Sequim Heritage House if you are looking for a place to stay in Sequim! We hope to go back again!

2 families for a long weekend

We (4 adults, 6 kids all under 10) stayed for 4 days to have a home base while enjoying the Olympics. Winnie was very flexible, helpful and communicative. Furthermore, it was a perfect place to stay with all of our little kids. They had a lot of space to run around, play hide and seek and space in the gated yard to enjoy. Similar when it came to making and eating dinner or if someone needed space from all chaos that is 6 little kids. If you have a big group and you want to make it easy on yourself, book this place.

Great location, beautiful house

6 adults shared the Heritage House for a week of Olympic Peninsula activities. The house was clean, fun and a great space for us to all share. Location was easily walkable to great food, cofffee and downtown. Easy biking distance to the ODT. The house itself had a very complete kitchen, a beautiful garden with spots to sit and relax alone or as a group. Hot water was abundant, showers had good pressure. Our hostess was so kind and helpful with our needs. Would highly recommend for a friends retreat. Lots of decorations in the house might be hard for smaller kids but were so fun to look at and discover.

About the host

Hosted by Winnie Greenaway Palm

I am the former owner of James Bay Hideaway vacation retreat in Victoria, B.C., Canada. I consider myself a " near native" to Olympic Peninsula who enjoys traveling, gardening, golfing and reading. I find meeting new people very stimulating. Helping guests enjoy my lovely 1924 vintage home & gardens while they explore the Olympic Peninsula very rewarding. My husband & I currently reside in Sequim, Washington.

Why they chose this property

Over the years, I have enjoyed collecting & living with antiques. Owning an older character houses in a small town setting has always been a goal of mine since visiting a special aunt and experiencing the warm & comfort of her home. I love the Heritage's location & sense of privacy in the middle of downtown Sequim. "Her" character, charm & spaciousness creates a welcoming environment. Whether it's one person or a large group, they are sure to enjoy the casual elegance of the Heritage House.

What makes this property unique

Sequim was originally a farming based community that had few older character-rich homes. The relaxed elegance of my unique home is one of the few exceptions. When we purchased the Heritage House 1998, we set out to enhance her original "good bones". Fortunately she escaped the 1960's remodels that would have covered up many of her outstanding characteristics: high ceilings, original hardwood floors, archways & a stone fireplace to list a few. In her almost 100 years, we are only the 5th family to have the privilege to care for her. I have been delighted to share her fine qualities with guests from as close as Port Angeles & as far as Australia.

From the laurel covered arch entry to the 1924 original claw foot bath tub, the secluded summer house & gardens, my home is a relaxing retreat from today's world & springboard to enjoy this beautiful Olympic Peninsula.
Since 2006, I have welcomed many guests to the Heritage House from all over world. I look forward to sharing this special place with many more. I enjoy meeting, welcoming, hosting & helping my guests to spend quality time on the Olympic Peninsula.
