I almost hate to write this review because part of me wants to keep this place as our own private little second home in Washington… but the view is just too amazing not to share.This home was absolutely perfect for my husband and I. It was a quick and easy 17–30 minute drive to everything we wanted to explore, both in and around Anacortes. We loved the privacy, the quiet, and coming back each evening to incredible sunsets after long days of adventuring.The home itself was clean, cozy, and stocked with absolutely everything we could possibly need — including THREE different coffee machines, which, as self-proclaimed coffee-aholics, we obviously had to try them all.You can really feel the care the owners put into this place. We left already talking about when we can come back.

Great location and private. This place is so much better than the pictures represent. After long days of hiking on the San Juan islands, this place was amazing to come back to relax at. Great views as advertised. Easy check in and check out. Thanks so much for having us and we will return when in the area.
