5 Acres of Solitude, a Restful Place To Rejuvenate, Winter Or Summer

Welcome to peaceful Birdsong Retreat where the quiet serenity is accompanied with birdsong. This spacious, newly built home sits in a sunny yard on 5 acres of beautiful Cedar trees that guests are welcome to enjoy walking in. It is located at the end of a quiet road, very private, yet close to town and amenities - only 10 minutes from the car ferry, and less than 2 miles to the beach and a view of the Olympic Mountains.
The house is fully furnished for guests comfort. You will find all you need in the well-appointed kitchen, including spices. All luxurious linens are provided, including beach towels. Internet, WiFi, and cable TV with flat screen and Blu-Ray, as well as stream Netflix are provided. Listen to your favorite music on the I-Doc station or Pandora. Books, board and yard games are provided.
This is a restful place where you can rejuvenate, winter or summer. Rock on the porch or lay back in one of the recliners, curl up with a book in this cozy, quiet haven. The number of birds and other wildlife here are amazing; we've seen great horned owls, bald eagles, and many song birds. It's great for individuals and families. If you wish to venture beyond this property, there is plenty of natural beauty and points of interest, golf courses, hiking trails, parks, as well as quaint towns and shops nearby on this vacation destination Island. We have a guest book with maps and some suggestions at the Retreat.
The house features: spacious vaulted great room with living room (multiple reclining sectional), dining area (seats 6), and kitchen with new stainless steel appliances (also microwave, coffee maker, bagel toaster, Belgian waffle maker, popcorn popper); 2 large bedrooms with queen size beds (luxurious cotton sateen sheets and down comforters), additional convertible queen bed; 2 full bathrooms with showers, tubs (luxury towels, soap, shampoo, and conditioner, hair dryer provided); utility room with washer and dryer (soap and fabric softener provided); iron and board; wood deck with patio dining set and gas grill; covered porches.
Leave your worries behind as you ride the 15 minute car ferry (only 10 minutes drive to the house) as you begin your retreat. To get the current ferry schedule please see our website under links below or google Washington State Ferry, and look under Mukilteo-Clinton.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Great house and location! Very clean, comfy beds, and had everything we needed. Living room has a great sectional for watching a movie. We were close to family we were visiting, and the location was also great for going into Clinton and Langly.

Peaceful Clean Stay on South Whidbey

My wife and 16-month old and I had a wonderful time at Birdsong. Quiet, well-stocked kitchen, gas grill, plenty of space, and comfy beds were the highlights for us. Easy access to Freeland and the south Whidbey beaches.

Perfect home away from home!

This is the second time my family and I have stayed at this lovely retreat on Whidbey Island. Everything is clean, organized, and so homey! The owners are very friendly and communicative. We hope to make this our go-to place to stay when we make our trips to visit our family. Thank you so much!

Wedding stay

We were on the island for two nights and this house was convenient to the family activities. This was one of the nicest homes that I have rented and I do a couple rentals every year. I would recommend this house and hope to be back in the area to rent it again. Clean, well stocked, lots of games in the closet, good internet, and just super nice.

Wonderful and relaxing home

We had a very relaxing stay at this home. Enjoyed that it was at the end of the dirt road so there were no traffic noises and we were able to enjoy the sounds of nature. House really had all of the gadgets you would need and was extremely clean. We were very impressed. Thank you for a great trip!

Clean and secluded home in the woods

Diane made renting and checking in easy. My family stayed there during a reunion because we didn't have enough bedrooms at our house. They found it well appointed and comfortable. We'd happily rent again.

A peaceful, quiet getaway

This was our third or fourth time staying here. We keep coming back because of the peace and quiet and the comfort of the home. The kitchen is well stocked, including coffee, tea, some canned goods, and all the kitchen appliances you need. The beds are super comfortable. Our host Diane was responsive when we had a small issue with the TV (resolved quickly.) Highly recommend!

Beautiful Property

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The setting is private and beautiful. If you like to be surrounded by nature, this is the place for you. The home is clean and has everything you need. I would highly suggest you bring drinking water. The water has an odd smell and taste that is hard to ignore. Other than that, we had a wonderful time!

a peaceful and comfortable getaway

I've been to Birdsong Retreat twice, and have just booked a third stay there. The setting is peaceful and beautiful. We saw a mama deer and her fawn right next to the house in the morning, and at night we heard the hooting of owls. The house itself is quite comfortable and furnished with everything we needed for an enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Comfy couch, squeaky beds

Overall a lovely stay, well equipped and clean accommodation. The couch is amazing and why we chose the house. We were very underwhelmed with the squeaky bed that made sleep as challenging as an Olympic sport. Beware the staples in the carpet with the no shoe policy. The property is quiet and beautiful but we found it hard to enjoy the advertised size because of the stinging nettle. Ultimately it didn’t matter much as we spent most of our time enjoying the island, especially Coupeville!

Super quiet and clean

We loved our stay! We were visiting for a wedding, about 6 miles away. The privacy in this place is amazing. Gorgeous lot, surrounded in trees and completely silent. We were wondering where the crickets and frogs were! We live in a peaceful place, and this place is 100 times more quiet. The couch was sp comfortable, and the kitchen was very well stocked. They had everything we could possibly use. We didn't see anything aboout the check out requirements, so I'm guessing they are pretty simple. They have a waffle iron and any other dishware, condiments, spices etc that you may need. Woould definitely stay again.

Great stay

Very clean house to rent. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room and we'll stocked home. We only stayed 2 nights while on Whidbey Island for a big family birthday celebration. We just slept at the house. We never ate there but I could tell the kitchen was well stocked. We arrived late and after dark. I had the wrong entrance code and was very thankful the owners answered the phone so we could get in. I do wish they had the simple courtesy to turn up the heat. It was a very cold night till we all got warm. Lots of blankets and bedding. Super clean home!
