Cozy Cabin in the Woods
We were so impressed with the cabin. There are twinkly lights on the front and back porch. There is mood lighting all through the cabin, a couple switches in the loft, the kitchen, and the living room where you can dim the lights to your liking. 10/10 on mood lighting. The place was fully stocked. All cooking utensils and bathroom necessities. We did not bring a pet but the place is set up so cute for a little furry friend. There is a ton of seating everywhere, in the living room and outside. The location is perfect. It's just out of the way so you feel alone but it's only 5 minutes away from the state parks. The skylights are awesome. The tall ceiling made the place feel massive. There are lights for the stairs so you can go downstairs safely at night without blinding anyone awake. I loved all the complimentary items left out for coffee, tea, shower, laundry. They really thought everything out. The heat worked well and there were extra space heaters and fans if needed. Grill was nice. We didn't end up making a fire inside but they had kindling and wood ready to go. There was a Keurig and drip coffee, a toaster, a popcorn machine, you name it. They had books and games and plenty of blankets. Such a cozy, romatic little getaway. The communication was especially impressive. We were checked in on both by the automated system and by a local rep. Responses were immediate and friendly. Would definitely come back. There's room for a hottub outside hint hint, but we were so pleased!

We had a great clean and quiet place to stay. We meet up with friends that have a cabin during the daytime, so a quiet place to sleep is welcome at the end of the day. Being older, we found that we will look for one floor in the future. Perfect, though.

A wonderful getaway!
We stayed over a long weekend. Absolutely loved the location and the cottage. It was wonderful to bring our dog with us on a vacation for the first time - he loved it, too! We heard owls and coyotes; saw blue herons, bunnies, and small birds; and enjoyed sitting on the patio in the shadow of the hemlock, cedar, maple, madrone, and Douglas-fir trees. (The view from the bathroom at sunset is incredible, too!) The cottage was thoughtfully appointed for guests and we appreciated the extra touches for our furry friend! My only wish was having a pair of binoculars to get a better view of the wildlife, but I can bring my own in the future. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything was delightful and exceptional decor. Would recommend turning up the heat on very cold temperatures prior to guests arrival. The staff tried to be helpful but timing was difficult due to Friday night activities. Very cold for the first three hours.

Private Cottage in the Woods
A lovely quiet cabin, well-equip and lovingly decorated. We especially enjoyed the porch with so many birds joining our morning coffee. Also the mile walk to the beach is a treat--only the first part is on the road, it quickly connects with a lovely hike through cedars, firs and hemlocks. Don't miss it!

Precious Cottage
This cute little cottage was perfect for an extended NYE weekend. It was very cozy, clean and very chic and rustic. I also loved that it was so quiet and peaceful in the hidden forest. I only wish they would’ve had champagne flutes and perhaps a bit more comfortable bed and pillows and a dishwasher, but none of it was a deal breaker. It was a superb experience and we even got a complimentary early check-in! I very much recommend this place, and would go back in the summer!

Cozy and comfortable cabin
We had a lovely week on Camano. The cabin was as advertised and well maintained. Check in was seamless and there isn’t a giant list of chores to do to check out, which was appreciated. The only slight quibble we had was with the somewhat ungenerous policy of giving a tiny bit of dish soap and precisely 2 rolls of toilet paper and 2 laundry soap pods. They make it clear that you have to stock household items yourself. And compared to most houses I’ve rented, they provide you very little in the way of household items. We had to buy everything from cooking oils to salt and pepper. Most places will usually have more of the basics available. And the house could use more board games and the like. Also confusing because the house instructions mentioned a dishwasher but this particular cabin doesn’t have one. But these are minor quibbles. Overall we had a great time. Saw rabbits and deer in the yard at dawn and dusk. Made cozy fires at night and had dinner on the deck. A very peaceful place.

Beautiful, peaceful home
This vacation home is surrounded by beautiful trees in a very quiet neighborhood. The are plenty of comfy places to sit inside and out with a book. We loved all the deck space around the house. Sadly, getting to the beach requires a car, and going for a walk isn't very relaxing, with no sidewalks and narrow shoulders. I recommend this place if you're looking for a place to stay in and chill.
