Lopez Island, Painted Rock House #301
*** This home is people friendly, and not pet friendly. ***
Painted Rock is our newest home addition on Lopez Island. This home stands out due to its unique waterfront location on the south end of the island. Painted Rock provides breathtaking southeasterly views over Mud Bay, to Lopez Sound, all while painting a beautiful portrait of Mt. Baker in the distance. You can literally spend hours bird watching and/or viewing the tides flow in and out of the bay. It’s a good life to say the least.
Painted Rock provides an open floor plan with large view windows in the kitchen (Updated with all new appliances!), dining and living room areas, all overlooking the bay. This 3-bedroom (3 queen beds with master bedroom and ensuite bath on the upper floor), 2 bath home feels light, fresh and modern while providing all the comforts of home. Its large deck is perfect for grilling and dining outside on summer evenings or drinking your morning coffee while soaking in the sunshine. There is even easy access to the beach which also has a small dock, perfect for bringing your kayaks down to the water. This home also features a buoy out front for mooring your boat as a jump off place to conveniently explore the islands (please contact us first if you plan to use the buoy).
Lounge in the back yard above the beach. Take a nap in the hammock, or kayak (kayaks not supplied but can be rented in the Village) around the bay. Inside, get a board game going at the large dining room table, or snuggle up in the comfy living room with a book, or a good movie. All the while, you never need to leave the views behind! This home is perfect for everyone!
Painted Rock is down a private gravel road in a quiet, secluded island neighborhood. You can walk or take a short drive to Hunter Bay where there is a boat ramp and dock, should you be bringing a boat to the Island. This home is just a few miles from the Southend Market and Café, and close to the famous Watmough beach and Iceberg Point. It is also an easy ten-minute drive to all of the wonderful attractions of Fisherman Bay andLopez Village. Food, dining out, and so many quaint island shops to explore. Lopez Island has so much to enjoy.

Views!
Great house for our family of four. Had everything we needed for a comfy stay. Beds are comfortable, kitchen is well equipped. The views are spectacular. The kids enjoyed exploring the rocks and beach down below the house and all the games in the house. And I loved that it had a roomba. So nice to come home to a clean house everyday after exploring.

Not what we hoped for..
Unfortunately we checked out this rental early so we could spend some time with friends elsewhere but also as we had so many issues with the rental. We had to clean much of the house upon arrival. The downstairs floor had to re-swept along with the downstairs bathroom floor and that bathroom shower floor was dirty, had clumps of hair in the drain and looked like cleaner was sprayed but just left there and not scrubbed nor rinsed down the drain. Upstairs bathroom had to be swept of hair, dead bugs including flies and bees. Like much of the house, the dishwasher was outdated and needed a serious cleaning or better yet, full replacement as it did not clean dishes well causing us to rewash dishes. The dish sink strainers also had food in them and weren't cleaned out. The greater concern was the Poison Hemlock plants that were all over the property that we weren't made aware of was and we had a 10 year old with us who almost went exploring through a bunch of it! Someone had cut a bunch of the Hemlock down and left it in piles right by the back entrance. The Hammock was not very useful as when anyone laid in it, the netting would open up causing you to fall through it to the ground. Those issues along with us not being able to use the Kayak boats or being to enjoy the outdoor firepit did not make this rental enjoyable nor as impressive as we read about it for the money we had paid and we have been renting from VRBO for 30+ years.

Peaceful stay on Lopez Island
This beautiful home was the perfect place to stay on Lopez Island. It encapsulated the feeling of the island. The location was great. The view was spectacular! We really enjoyed our little bit of beach area. We certainly hope to be able to return.

Spacious Lake House
This was a wonderful and pleasantly surprising spacious home. The views of the lake from the living and dining room was amazing at both sunrise and sunset. The home was clean and had everything we needed for the weekend.

Beautiful, Secluded View
The view is what this house is all about. The beds, pillows, etc were comfortable and cozy.
There are some things that the property managers could/should take care of. I recognize that it rains and can get muddy from Mud Bay, however, when people have rented to stay there, it seems that the outside adirondack chairs need some TLC as does the main floor bathroom. There was also a window blind in the back bedroom that feel off, when we tried to lift it up.
Otherwise, the house well appointed and the view is magnificent.

Unruh reunion
Loved our stay, very spacious and comfortable. Our family enjoyed the deck and hammock. Loved the big dining table for family dinners.
Just wish we could have had some kayaks or canoes at the house.
Would recommend this location.
Thank you!!!

Lovely house on Lopez Island
The view is beautiful, the house is as pictured. Very private area. The wifi at the house was appreciated, given the notoriously rough cell service on the island.

Relaxing spring break island escape
Our family enjoyed a pleasant week on the island at this lovely and comfortable home. The location was convenient, the views from the living space were beautiful, and the house was nicely furnished, with a fully equipped kitchen. We would stay here again. An earlier review noted that the beds were uncomfortable, but the reviewer was not specific. The mattresses were firm and comfortable, so no complaints as we don't like sleeping on marshmallows.

Amazing location and house, bad beds
We loved this house and its location, marred only by its bad beds. The master bedroom was so awful that I dreaded going to bed & would toss & turn all night. My son reported that the couch was better than the gameroom bed. But the outdoor furniture was wonderful and kitchen was well stocked. The view was outstanding and it was easy to drop kayaks into the bay from the property. Horrible to pay this kind of money & not be able to sleep! Other than the beds issue, this is an outstanding home.

Perfect Lopez Location
We loved this house. It was our first time staying in the south end of the island and we loved the quiet. I spent quite a bit of time too sling around Mud Bay. Best part was cocktails on the deck at water level.

Amazing property
Greatly enjoyed our time here overlooking Mud Bay. We were treated to a pair of eagles putting on an aerial acrobatic show just off our deck that seemed to go on forever. There is plenty of parks and hikes within just a few minutes. If you brought your own kayaks it would be an way to base your explorations.
