The Nellie Donagan House was built in 1912 and enlarged in 1978. It is thoroughly modern on the inside yet retains its last-century charm. The cottage is on a dead-end gravel road and is surrounded by grasslands or cedars on three sides. From the spacious front deck guests can sit under a shady umbrella and watch the deer graze in the undeveloped fields and wetlands while hummingbirds buzz close and red winged blackbirds sing their musical song.

The kitchen is modern and fully stocked with culinary appliances, more of which are stored in the spacious pantry. The pantry has a washer and dryer, a utility sink, and can act as a mudroom with access to the house from the back yard.

The dining room seats 6 comfortably and has a large picture window with a view of the fields. The living room has comfortable furniture and a bay window, which looks out through a stained glass panel to one of the gardens. A TV screen is available for streaming.

The office has a desk and table and provides a quiet, private place to catch up on business or keep current while on vacation. There is high-speed, 100Mbps internet for streaming movies, video calling and lightning fast browsing. We have a monitor and a printer in the office. There is also a twin bed.

The master bedroom has a queen bed and dressing area with a dresser and ample double closets. The master bath has a shower. A private, enclosed deck is accessed from the master bedroom and has a door to the backyard. The other bedroom has a queen bed, a dresser and a closet. The hall bath has a bathtub. A third, twin bed is in the office.

A charming gazebo and the outbuilding we call The Dollhouse are both off-limits to guests at this time.

There is a fenced garden and ample parking. The overall feeling is of comfortable country living and serenity. The grounds are mostly open to the deer who frequent the back yard especially, and many birds flock to the feeders in the front. We hear frogs and sometimes coyotes at night, and find it lovely and relaxing.

The Neighborhood of North Beach is charming, quirky, and full of walking paths through woods and between streets. North Beach and Chinese Gardens are a 12 minute walk away and the many trails through Fort Worden are just beyond that. The Fairgrounds are across the fields to the south, and Port Townsend’s Historic Seaport District is a 10 minute ride by car or just a little longer by bicycle. The night sky as you walk to North Beach at night is spectacular!

It's an expansive, peaceful setting with everything you might want to make your visit special.

This house is our home, which we have rented out for several years while we are away sailing during the summer. We've had great experiences with guests, and trust that you will treat our home with care, as much of the decor has great sentimental value.

We are required by the City of Port Townsend to rent in blocks of no less than 29 nights, which keeps the neighborhood genuine and serene. When you rent the Nellie Donagan Cottage, you'll be a North Beach Resident. As our gift to you, we'll have a housekeeper come in during the middle of your stay to do light housekeeping. Mowing the lawns is also included.

Please, no smoking inside and no pets.

- "We were happy to spend another early summer month at Nellie Donagan House, surrounded by meadows full of songbirds and near to walking trails on 3 sides. The home is comfortable and well-supported by the thoughtful owners and local house and garden staff. For us, the sunny deck and peaceful surroundings are deeply relaxing." - "Nellie Donegan House is a beautifully kept home on the edge of the North Beach neighborhood. The meadows on three sides afford quiet, privacy and a host of birds and local wild life. It is a short walk to endless trails as well as the beach and Fort Worden. It provides lovely space, inside and out for a couple and few friends or a small family. And as someone who has rented properties for many years, I've never encountered such thoughtful owners."
