We really enjoyed our stay. This was a quiet off the beaten path but only 10 minutes from downtown and the ferry. The house was well stocked, comfortable beds and very clean. Itâs a beautiful property to just walk on and sit outside to enjoy, we did both. I would highly recommend. Jeanne is a responsive host and I appreciated her quick communications.
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!
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!
I was there with my three teenage children, and we had a great time and the house was absolutely great. We were sitting in the back and a deer with giant antlers, just sauntered by through the backyard as we sat there.
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!
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!
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!
Our family enjoyed the peaceful environment provided by the surroundings of this property. The home was well equipped for cooking and enjoying family time. We highly recommend this space.
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 impeccably clean and loaded with all the basic necessities; a plethora of dishes, cooking utensils, great fridge and stove and we felt extremely comfortable.
I think every neighborhood on San Juan island is excellent and we very much liked the "tucked-away" location. Communication with the owner was quick, timely and accurate. There were only two minor things I would suggest for the next resident: the directions to the house could be made more clear and 9 remote controls for the TVs (?). I know the local cable companies are challenging and the truth is we didn't watch TV at all but if the next guest wants to watch TV it is a challenge
We really enjoyed this peaceful property. The home was very clean and well stocked with games and puzzles. The kitchen had a lot of odds and ends (don't bring spices - they're pretty well stocked) that made eating in convenient. The walkabout was a lovely addition and we enjoyed the gazebo by the pond. It was nice to have space to unwind after exploring San Juan Island.
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!
This home is perfectly situated in the middle of San Juan Island - 15-20 minutes' drive from all points of interest on the island. The setting is private, serene, and beautifully landscaped. The owner has lovingly appointed this home with attention to detail inside and outside and has entrusted her guests with stunning artworks and comfortable furnishings. The kitchen is a dream with every conceivable item you could possibly want to prepare a culinary masterpiece. We purchased fresh mussels from Wescott Shellfish Farms (order/pay online in advance and pick up the next day - pay attention to their hours) and found everything we needed to cook several other meals throughout our four-night stay. Beds are comfortable, linens are luxurious. The owner provides valuable information about island access, activities, and other information to newcomers. Great communication via email and printed materials inside the home. We have stayed in various other VRBO units on the island but this one was our favorite - we will return time and again.
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!
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!
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.
