"Our 50th wedding anniversary with 27 family members from across the U.S. spent an IDEAL weekend at The Quintessa.

Continual conversations occurring in different parts of the house at the same time.
Ages 5 months to 87 years.

Then on Sunday, more friends joined us for an amazing afternoon of stories, catered dinner, photos and fun.
Evenings watching bats fly as we continued family stories, conversations, and ideas.

Quintessa made it a memorable event for each and everyone.

Huge thanks to Carrie, Tessa, and the crew that keeps Quintessa so fresh and like home for us all.

​Gratefully, Nancy and John M."
"The Quintessa has been an ideal site for our family reunion. The large central open kitchen allowed us to make family meals and enjoy the process as a group activity. The grounds were perfect for our group of 3-11 year old kids to play safely and explore as well as providing lovely backdrops for our family portraits. The views got repeated compliments from our out-of-state guests, and the beach was a repeat destination. The children, all of whom are used to/gravitate to electronic entertainment, got thoroughly involved in building "fairy houses" which everyone enjoyed." - Heather H ~ family reunion Seattle
