About this house rental

Nestled in Friday Harbor, this charming house for $579 per night is a great option for your next trip. Get away from it all in this luxuriantly appointed, beautiful 4-bedroom home with spectacular water and territorial views. So quiet all you can hear is the swish of birds’ wings. Samadhi House is perched atop Mt. Dallas, the highest point on San Juan Island in Washington state. It boasts spectacular views of Haro Strait (separates the US from Canada), the Canadian Gulf Islands, Vancouver Island, and forested mountains. Surrounded by the glories of NW nature, you can’t see a single house. But you will watch as cruise liners silently head towards Alaska and eagles and hawks soar overhead. You may even spot the occasional whale breaching in the Strait. At night, you’ll see the distant lights of Victoria and Sydney B.C. The perfect private retreat! In addition, you will enjoy art collected from around the world. Samadhi house is a perfect getaway for those seeking peace, exquisite views, and fun on the island. Ideal for families and mature adults. Not appropriate for those seeking a spot to party. Owner/manager on premises in separate housing. (See pictures.)

This marvelous place on San Juan Island was exactly as advertised. The home itself is gorgeous. It has wonderful amenities, beautiful light, and it makes the absolute most of the incredible view it has of the rest of the island and the Haro Strait. The host is also fantastic – friendly, proactive, and easy to communicate with. Can't really ask for more.

The property was lovely. Very spiritual. It was very remote, and as other reviews have suggested, I highly recommend arriving when there's still some daylight if possible. (We arrived at night and it was fine.) Also, make sure to follow the directions to the house provided by the owners; Google Maps stops short of getting you to the destination. That said, it is a beautiful spot. The house was very well-stocked with spices, tea, coffee, dish detergent, etc. My one suggestion to be aware of is that the amount of space is a little misleading. Two of the rooms are quite small, with little space to unpack, so some of us "lived out of our suitcases" for the four days we were there. The other two rooms are quite large. We had not read all the reviews, so we were a little surprised to find a yurt quite close to the house, but to be fair, the owner's daughter, who was presumably staying in it in the evenings, was very respectful of our privacy. The owner, Ajayan, was very responsive and easy to reach if necessary. All in all, it is a beautiful spot, particularly if you want to be remote and in a gorgeous setting.

Property was peaceful, quiet and secluded with the most incredible views of Vancouver Island. We enjoyed the island visiting Lime Kiln Point State Park, Cattle point Lighthouse and Friday Harbor. Very nice home for a family retreat. Thanks to Ajayan for being helpful and available for any questions that we had.

Ajayan and his daughter Sudha were wonderful hosts during our stay, and it was reassuring that they live nearby. Our communication was instant, and they were ready to attend to any question or need without hesitation. Views are spectacular, and the floorplan was perfect for our various families. We did most of our own cooking and the kitchen and dining areas were big enough for our clan. The wrap around deck provided play areas for the little ones, and evening guitar and sing-a-longs for the group. We would love to make another trip to San Juan, and will be happy to stay here again!

If you seek peace & tranquility this is the rental for you. 4 bedrooms, 8 beds and sleeping for 12 assuming some are couples who sleep together. Perfect for larger groups that want a quiet, remote, rental with spectacular views. San Juan Island not that large so this location works wherever your island adventure takes you. I do not recommend driving to this location in the dark.

I had a wonderful time. The weather cooperated. Had wonderful sunsets. Could of used a bigger kitchen and more space to put kitchen supplies,groceries not needing refrigeration. Got into watching Virgin River at night. Went kayacking, whale watching... saw 27 whales and about 20 sea lions,hiked, saw the lavender farm and store, went to American Camp and British camp, the winery, and saw many Eagles. Thank You for sharing your home. Mary
