Very nice property and area. We loved how close the home is to all the sites and attractions. Owner was very responsive to the minor smoke detector issue we had and it was quickly resolved. We would stay again!
We had a lovely stay. The house was very nice, furnished, and very well equipped. We all loved the grounds and beautiful flower gardens along with all the art pieces in the house. We will definitely be back!
Conveniently located about 15 minutes from Friday harbor and Kiln lighthouse. Very quiet and relaxing home. Host was very nice and helpful. House was stocked with lots of dishes, pots, seasonings, blankets, towels, etc. It was the prefect place for a vacation!
Fantastic, peaceful, serene place to call home while exploring the majestic San Juan Islands. The home itself is luxurious and well-appointed: playful art, great kitchen, and tons of natural light. The land is even better: one of those few places of true quiet where you can hear the flapping of a birds wings while you take in the wonderful forest surroundings. There is a forest walk created with care that I took many times to just listen and be present. A beautiful space to meditate and just be. Add to this the amazing place that is San Juan IslandâŠa recipe for something special. Highly valuable. Highly recommended. Thank you!
A great house, well stocked kitchen. Close to Friday Harbor but in a quiet woods. A very nice primary bathroom. The frogs sang us a chorus each night. The trash cans were a bit confusing but thatâs minor. We had a wonderful time here.
We stayed five nights and absolutely loved it! Spacious with great amenities. Quiet and fairly close to town. But everywhere is close to town on San Juan Island. We will be back!
This is a beautiful, well stocked home, not just a rental house. Itâs quiet with birds, gardens, outdoor seating. We rarely saw any signs of the onsite manager and we felt our privacy was respected. It is about a 15 minute drive to any place on the island so it is a nice location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
It was amazing. Felt like I was in paradise. I was more peaceful than Iâve been in a long time. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone. I know thank you for everything.
The house was great and in a beautiful setting - It was so quiet and peaceful. We'd definitely stay there again. Jeanne, the host, was great to work with and very responsive to any questions we had,
The house was beautiful and very well appointed. The location was easy and right in the middle of the island. We all felt so welcome and right at home. We would love to come back again and again!
beautiful property, quiet and peaceful. Well stocked, everything you wanted was there. Property owner was very easy to get ahold of and great to work with. I would 100% stay here again!
My family and I had a very nice stay at the "purple" house. The house was warm, cozy, clean, and fun for all. Beautiful setting and walking trails. Jeanne was a great host.
See you next time!
We truly enjoyed our stay at Jeanneâs lovely house in the woods. The walking paths throughout the property were wonderful and my 3 year old granddaughter loved her hikes! The house was spotless and had everything we needed and more!
We love everything about this home. Great location hidden away but still only 10 minutes from downtown (and every other place on the island). Itâs very well stocked, has everything one could need. Beds are all very comfortable. Staying here is like staying at your own home or better!
My kids and I stayed here for a short trip to San Juan. We could not have asked for anything better. The home is beautiful and comfortable. Everything you could need is provided. The forested setting, art, books and puzzles made me wish we could stay much longer. Staying here is a nice respite from the fun but commercial Friday Harbor. Highly recommend!
Jeanneâs property is a perfect retreat on the beautiful San Juan Island. We enjoyed the propertyâs beautiful gardens. The house is perfect for our family of four. A wonderfully stocked kitchen, plenty of puzzles and books and the house was full of amazing art. Jeanne was a gracious host and super responsive. We will definitely be back!
This home was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the accommodations. The electricity went out but even that was an adventure since there were lanterns provided to help get around. The kitchen had everything for making an evening meal of tacos. The beds were comfy. It was a nice stay in this home.
We would highly recommend this home for your next getaway. It was a clean comfortable, artsy place in the woods. It is close to town and all the beaches. The property and walking path are wonderful. So quiet and relaxing. Better then advertised. At the top of our list for a return visit.

Jeanneâs home is beautifully and peacefully situated, and the interior is a perfect connection to the surroundings. Everything we could have wished for in our home away from home was available, and the kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens weâve had in a vacation rental. The quality of the furnishings, art, linens, bedding, and the availability of appliances and technology (when we wanted it), are noteworthy because they all appear to be thoughtfully provided. We loved our time at this home.
Owner, Jeanne fell in love with this island in 1976 when she was there to teach a class, visited several times over the years and in 2006 two families found the 16-acre parcel of our dreams. Both families live in busy So CA and they wanted the peace and privacy that comes with the rural forest and lots of space. Their love of the ocean, nature, art and sculpture fill the house and gardens.
This custom property is a low VOC, low allergen, amenity-filled home situated so light fills the house and every piece of art has a story. Kids have room to explore, enjoy a rural environment, see stars at night while parents read, BBQ, take walks and enjoy porch and patio sitting time. It's nice to be away from the traffic and town. Enjoy the craftsmanship and love that the island artisans built into my home and the computer and Starlink internet connection available for guests.
The wetlands behind the house has frogs, dragon flies & tad poles. The small deer come to drink and then walk around the lawn perimeters. The walkabout is a perfect 1/4 mile walk thru the woods to start and end each day. The property is in the island center, so Lime Kiln State Park, American Beach, Friday Harbor town or Roche Harbor are only a 20 minute scenic drive away.
