About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
A-frame at Goss Lake
Welcome to the A-Frame at Goss Lake - where modern comfort meets cabin vibes.
This +3300 sqft cabin is secluded in the woods overlooking Goss Lake, with plenty of space and activities for the entire family. Enjoy water views of a private pond and Goss Lake, and tree views from every window.
Work remote or stream galore with GB wifi.
Minutes from Langley, Freeland, and all that South Whidbey Island has to offer, this tranquil retreat is centrally located, and easily accessible from Seattle.
***
This A-frame cabin is perfect for relaxing getaways, with enough room for larger groups with family and friends, or a quiet and cozy retreat for those looking to unwind.
Nestled in the woods, this secluded property overlooks a private pond, as well as Goss Lake, and features views of the woods from every window. Whether you're staying on Whidbey Island to attend a special event, or just looking for a tranquil getaway, the A-frame at Goss Lake is a perfect destination.
Sleeping up to 12 guests comfortably (with room for 2 additional guests if needed), this house is ideal for groups. With 7 brand new memory foam beds and a pullout queen sofa, your entire party will get a great night sleep.
We love to cook, and hey- food brings people together! With two full kitchens, you'll be set to cook up a storm, host your own iron chef party, or have plenty of dishware (and dishwashers) to enjoy takeout meals from the local restaurants. We usually like to cook in the upstairs kitchen, and have drinks and snacks spread out in the downstairs kitchen, but you can create your own culinary journey as you see fit! The downstairs kitchen also has cocktail mixing supplies for getting to where you're going. There's a propane grill on the large deck as well, for those who love to put meat (or veg) to heat.
Love to be cozy? Oh my gosh, so do we. A wood stove in the main living area makes for wonderful evening fires on those chilly nights, and an outdoor fire pit just steps from the private pond creates the perfect atmosphere for camp vibes with water and tree views by the warmth of the fire.
There is so much to do on Whidbey Island. This house is ~15-20 minutes from several charming towns (Langley, Freeland, Greenbank), each with quaint shops, restaurants, views and sights. But if you're anything like us, staying-in can be just as enjoyable as getting out. We've furnished the basement as a movie/rec room, with a 65" Samsung smart TV (equipped with all the smart apps), and a full size ping pong table. We've also stocked a range of board and card games, and puzzles for fun of all shapes and sizes.
Love to swim, or sit out by the water? Goss Lake is a community-run lake that is great for swimming, kayaking/canoeing, fishing, and more. Public lake access is available to all guests, and can be reached by a short walk or even shorter drive from the house.
For those with young kids, we've appointed the house with a full sized crib (in the primary bedroom closet), pack-n-play (in the basement closet), and a diaper changing station available at no extra charge. We have a little one, and know how important it is for the basics to be in place for keeping the little ones (and ourselves) happy. Sheets for the crib and pack-n-play are available for your use as well.
Other amenities include: - Wifi with GB service available throughout the property. - Desk/workspace on the loft for a great remote-work setup (with the best view in the house). - Ample parking (two car carport, plus a large uncovered parking area) - Pre-cut firewood for use in the wood stove and fire pit
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Perfect place to enjoy time with friends
I stayed with some friends celebrating our book club anniversary. The house was comfortable and spacious. Would be excellent for a multi-family celebration with two full kitchen and laundry. Easy proximity to Langley and Freeland. Goss Lake is lovely. The host provided help as needed. The house is beautiful and well-equipped.

Great Place for a Wedding/Mini-Reunion
Went to Whidbey Island for a family wedding in Clinton; We had four couples and one teenager for 4 days/3 nights at this location, which was about 5 minutes from the wedding site.. It was fantastic. Large modern A-Frame home, very clean, very tastefully decorated, surrounded by beautiful trees, great views of small pond and Goss Lake.
Host Sam was very helpful with information before and after arrival. Kitchen was well organized and equipped, bedding very comfortable, heating/AC solid, plenty of bathroom space for this big crowd. Could not recommend more highly.

Beautifully appointed home in a serene location!
We had a wonderful stay at the A-frame at Goss Lake with our family over a four-day weekend. Sam is a fantastic and thoughtful Host and this is reflected in how comfortable and beautifully furnished his property is. They have literally thought of every detail to make your stay special and enjoyable. We traveled with our nine month old grandson and so appreciated the baby equipment on site. The location is wonderful… We really enjoyed our morning walks around the lake and our daily morning trip to Whidbey Donuts! We highly recommend this property for a sweet and memorable getaway. Thank You, Sam, for the perfect stay and your warm hospitality!

Lots of great space
We used this house for a weekend girls trip. The layout is really spacious with multiple levels. The location is very private, and just 12 minutes from downtown Langley. There is very limited to no cellphone service at the house, but the WiFi connects easily.
The manager was very friendly and quick to respond to our questions.
The only thing is that I would not recommend adults stay on the top bunks of the black metal bunk beds, these specific bunk beds would be more ideal for kids.

A beautiful retreat!
We loved our peaceful stay at this well appointed, serenely designed home. We had everything we needed and then some! The views, the outdoor settings make the outdoor area so enjoyable. Lots of mini hikes for our toddler from our back door. Thank you Sam, for a wonderful vacation!

The location was prime spot
We had a great time, cooking in the kitchen and using the amenities.
I brought with me more then I needed since there was extra blankets and pillows, had a good blender and the drinking water was clean and didn’t have to use bottle water. Big bonus.
The master was enough privacy, downstairs was spaicious to roll our yoga Matt’s and do some yoga and brewthwork sessions.
We got to use the spacious of the yard we had many wildlife come visit.
This spot is great place to recharge, and share some good time with friends or family.
Thank you
