The Salish Suite in Big Lake

Come take it easy at our unique boho studio. We are located off the beautiful Salish Sea in the heart of Skagit Valley. Here you will enjoy all the amenities of your own home. A dream home away from home kitchen and a cozy comfortable full size bed. Bright natural light with privacy windows and blackout curtains. Located next to Big Lake, a perfect lake for paddleboarding or kayaking. Or cool down with the suite's AC after a local hike. The perfect spot for your next getaway. The Salish Sea is an inland sea that encompasses the Puget Sound, the San Juan Islands, and the waters off the Canadian province of British Columbia. Spanning from Olympia, Washington in the south, to Campbell River, British Columbia in the north. Named after the first inhabitants of the region, the Coast Salish people. This unique sea is the largest inland sea on the west coast of North America, between Alaska and Mexico. It is one of the most biologically rich inland seas in the world. Everything great about the PNW (Pacific Northwest) is due to the ecosystem of the Salish Sea. It is a must-see while you're visiting. We are located off the Salish Sea on a lake named Big Lake. Our suite is located on one of the oldest properties in Big Lake. The original house next door was built in 1910. The suite was added on more recently and is the first space done during the current remodel as we work on bringing this old property back to life. This perfect-sized studio has a well-stocked full-sized kitchen. Complete with a microwave, blender, food processor, hand mixer, coffee maker, full-sized fridge, and oven. Plus anything you would need to cook a meal (i.e. oil, seasonings, and any utensil you can think of). Try a recipe from one of the Washington cookbooks located in the suite. Sleep sound on the 1886 refurbished murphy bed. Need extra space for the 2nd guest, lay down the couch for another bed. Extra pillows and blankets are provided. Enjoy wifi and a smart TV with Netflix during your stay. All the windows have privacy film on them. Enjoy the light from outside while still enjoying your privacy. Each window also has a black-out curtain if you want to sleep in or enjoy a nap during the day. Important Things to Note: We are not a pet-friendly rental and please make sure to smoke outside. Please do not place hot pots or pans directly on the counters. Hot pads are provided. The space is not intended for children. However, it can fit an adult and a child. We do not have anything to entertain a child in the suite. But if you are coming with a child please let us know. We do have three children ourselves and can leave some items for the child. We currently do not have an outdoor area for our guests. We are working on it for the future. If your stay is over 7 days please note there are living plants in the suite. Owners will coordinate a time that works for the guests for the owners to water the plants on a weekly basis. We are on a septic system and ask that guests do not flush anything other than toilet paper (and human waste) down our toilet or dump coffee grounds down the sink. Also, there is a glass container under the kitchen sink to dump grease into instead of the drain. Just leave it out and we will take care of it after your stay. Thank you for being mindful of our system. Self-check-in: Keyless entry via keypad at the front door. We will message you a unique code before checking in. (Do not lock the bottom handle when leaving the suite) We live here on-site. The suite is detached from our house. If you need anything we are here for you. The property is in the middle of a remodel. This old 1910 farm is far from its original glory. The building the suite is in will be getting a new roof and new siding this summer. We are working around our guest's schedules so as not to disturb any stay. No materials or equipment will impede your stay. The entire inside of the suite has been remodeled this year and is ready and comfortable for your stay.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.
