Our stay was lovely! The upstairs loft had magnificent views and the two downstairs bedrooms were nicely arranged. Home is nicely updated. Immaculate cleanliness made us feel comfortable from the start.
Communications were prompt and thorough regarding the property. Love the self clean option to avoid excessive cleaning fees!
Aside from the expansive deck with beautiful views, there isn’t much outdoor/yard space, but that is to be expected with a home on the mountain. The road/driveway is a two track that would likely need 4wd in the winter months but the seclusion and quiet was rejuvenating.
Highly recommend this property!

A very well appointed A-Frame with a view across the strait to Vancouver Island. The location is secluded and peaceful. The house itself had everything that the 4 of us (two couples) needed. We would definitely return.

We had a great 4-night stay on beautiful San Juan Island in this incredible property! Perched atop Cady Mountain, this very quite and private home offers a drop-dead gorgeous view across the water to Vancouver Island and is very well appointed, extraordinarily clean and has great internet service. And it’s pet-friendly! The host, Karen Palmer, was terrific to deal with. We highly recommend this fantastic retreat!!

This is a beautiful, well appointed home on an isolated road. Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, gorgeous view, and very quiet. Four adults, and one 21 month old. We enjoyed our time very much.

We truly loved this property for our big family (kids ages 2-12). There was lots of room to play and roam. The view is beautiful and the location is tucked away but still close to everything. It took us no more than 15 minutes to get anywhere on the island. It is a little bit of an adventurous drive getting to the property (I wouldn't want to do it on winter roads or in heavy rains), but that was part of the fun.
A few minor complaints we had: Ants and fruit flies (I think they were fruit flies? they were really small) upon our arrival (the ants were minor, the flies a bit more of a problem and we started storing our pantry goods in the oven). The downstairs toilet chain kept coming unhooked, making it impossible to flush the toilet. And for a big family, we definitely could have used more spoons. It also would have been nice to have the house be a bit more kid-friendly: less glass tables and coasters, a few plastic dishes (or Corelle dishware), and maybe a few toys or books for kids.
But all in all, we really enjoyed our stay and definitely would return. The view and peaceful setting can't be beat and the house is cozy and beautiful!

Our first time in the San Juan Islands and this property lived up to the beauty and grandeur of the place. Magnificent views. Immaculate property in which the owners anticipated all our needs. Thank you!

If you're looking for something very quiet and private with views, and aren't looking to walk to shops or restaurants, this house is an excellent choice. The house is located near the center of the island and within a 15 minute drive to most spots. Communications with Karen, the host, were pleasant and easy, and she responded promptly. Karen handles things a little differently as she asks for payment by check, and only a limited amount of post-stay cleaning is included in the rent; self-cleaning will avoid or reduce additional charges. This didn't turn out to be a problem for us, but may not be for everyone. We were happy with our stay.

Capron road is atop Cady Mountain. The house has sweeping views of the water and Vancouver Island. Perched on rolling green hills and rocky outcroppings, the home’s entrance opens on to floor to ceiling window views. The house is well appointed and modern. Heated floors in the main loft bedroom and a memory foam bed were welcomed after a long day of travel. Two bedrooms and a full bath on the main floor off the kitchen and living room were home to our twin teenagers. We spent our late afternoon and evenings watching the sunsets and lights from Vancouver island. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils for large or small gatherings. Any questions were quickly replied to by the host and a quick text and reply to let them know we had left for the ferry made leaving a breeze ( although we surely didn’t want to leave). This is the perfect house for a family reunion, or a romantic getaway for two.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It has beautiful views of the woods, ocean and sunsets. The owner was very responsive and great to interact with! Great central location to get to most areas on the island.

This home is just beautiful…the view is amazing! Incredible sunsets and great location in the middle of the island. Very comfortable…had everything we needed! Karen went above and beyond to communicate w/us…even sent a much appreciated email with dates for ferry reservations. We all felt right at home and enjoyed our time on top of Cady Mountain!

Very private, beautifully maintained and comfortable. Our family enjoyed the staycation. Very functional and tastefully maintained kitchen. Ideal for two families. Enjoy the evening sun , sipping the coffee. Host is always reachable. She even refunded me for a night when I changed my schedule on short notice. Starlink internet works well for most part.
The private road to the house could become better though. Found few pet hairs in living room sofa. Used the vaccum cleaner and it was all good after that. Didnt use BBQ so cant say if it works. Overall, a very beautiful place 5 miles from friday harbor nested in a private setting.

We had a wonderful time at the property. It is close to the two big areas on the island, Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor. The place had lots of space to gather as a family. What was really amazing about the property was the view! Evergreen trees leading to water. Amazing sunsets!

Very beautiful and relaxing place to stay. We stayed there for 3 days and enjoyed every minute of it. Would love to go back again. I know some people in the past have complained about the road but we didn't have any issues with it in our Dodge minivan. It is a one lane dirt road but was fine while we stayed there.

Beautiful home with EV charger
The home is very nicely equipped (especially in the kitchen) and comfortable, with wonderful views. The deck is wonderful; I loved the birdhouse, which has baby violet-purple swallows right now. The bed in the master was very comfortable. Unlike other A-frame type houses, this one actually has curtains to help block the light in the loft bedroom. The EV charger was so nice to have! The wifi worked well, too. We had wondered if the property would have trails or usable space to play with the dog--it does not (it's fairly rough, steep terrain). It does have Garry Oaks, which are a special tree in the San Juans, and lots of birds and privacy.

The home is great! Definitely need some upgrades, specifically with the bedrooms , but they were not so bad that we did not enjoy ourselves. Extra cleaning supplies and garbage bags would have been nice, but we both tour own.

The property was clean, spacious and beautiful. We enjoyed everything about our stay, and the only complaint I had was the hilly one way road we needed to drive up to get to the house, this made me nervous as I’m afraid of heights but both our groups 4 wheel and 2 wheel drives handled it fine. Since we had 6 adults it would have been more ideal to have 3 full beds, but we made that work. The view and space made it so worth it and we truly enjoyed our stay.

We rented the house for our honeymoon because of the views, price, and being pet friendly.
We woke up to stunning views and went to bed with amazing sunsets. The location is very quiet, which was a change of pace from out noisy city living. Our dog loved every aspect of the area, since she could run around off leash on the property.
Overall, I fully recommend this house.
