What a wonderful and relaxing weekend! Such a beautiful property that was so inviting, clean, comfortable, and in the perfect location. My daughter loved the comfortable swivel chairs and all the games! We enjoyed exploring the island and all the areas surrounding it. I especially loved early morning coffee on the deck and enjoying how quiet it was. Thank you for such wonderful hospitality! We will definitely be back!

Wow! This place did not disappoint. Very clean and accomodating with comfortable beds.The views were very impressive with all kinds of wildlife. We saw deer, eagles, many types of birds and geese, seals and bunnies just from looking out the windows. So relaxing when we were not out and about. The location is perfectly situated for visiting all of the popular sights and nearby towns. We did not want to leave this beautiful place! We will be back.

We spent a small part of our Spring Break at this getaway to relax. It was probably one of the cleanest rentals we have stayed in. We stayed here in the off season for exploring the Deception Pass area (late March), so it was perfect for avoiding crowds. It was pretty chilly, but the gas fireplace kept us nice and toasty. The two large windows in the living room were perfect for watching the wildlife. We hiked the Goose Rock trail, and we watched the sunset from the Hoypus Point North trailhead (just north of the marina down the road.) There were plenty of amenities, including extra blankets. We recommend the Calico Cupboard in Anacortes for a good breakfast spot.

We stayed for a long weekend of exploring the Deception Pass area with our Grandkids. The house was perfect as a home base for us.It had an awesome view of the bay and was well stocked and very well kept. Super easy check in process and the owners even gave us a good tip for a great tide pool location. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us! Location was great for accessing trails and kayaking near Deception State Park, and the little towns on the island. The property is newly renovated, kitchen well-stocked, and very comfortable. Road is not too busy so we had peaceful time reading on the front porch when not out and about.

Beautiful location! Stayed here with my husband, mom and aunt for my sister’s wedding about 10 minutes away. Space was great, beds were comfy, very clean, communication was quick and helpful! Location was close enough to town to be able to go out but still felt secluded if you’re looking for some peace and quiet. Would definitely stay here again.
