Completely cool 1920s Cabin with incredible views of the sound and the bay there. Comfortable and rustic. The manager was very responsive as the electricity went out for a couple hours.

Murden Cove is an absolutely lovely place to stay on Bainbridge. House is well appointed and the view cannot be beat. It was lovely to sit on deck and in the yard and observe the beautiful view as the tide changed. It is very close to town which makes for easy dining out. We will definitely visit again. Chad is a marvelous host. He is very responsive if you need ANYTHING.Just a few observations: There is only one shower in the house on the main floor. Upstairs is only a tub. There is no AC on the second floor. Only a concern when it is very hot days. For folks with mobility concerns:The staircase to the second floor is a steep spiral style. And the walk down and up from parking is long and somewhat steep - but the steps are easy to manage

The location is amazing on Murden Cove. However the house is in need of updating. The property manager is the best we ever had. Chad was responsive and addressed any issues we had. If the property is updated, it can be truly amazing.

A Sound View of the Sound!
This quaint home with the Puget Sound lapping at its private garden is the perfect place to get away from it all. The views from the dining room, living room and one of the bedrooms is so spectacular, with Seattle sparking in the distance and the glowing homes of Murden Cove reflecting on the water. The fireplace, the center of the house, works well and makes the house so cozy. It was hard to have to leave. Chad, the manager, was so thoughtful and helpful, and oh my, the handmade sourdough loaf waiting for me on the counter. Too good!
