Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 1983

This is my personal family home, where I raised my 2 daughters. I then completely updated the whole house to give it a fresh new feeling. The logs that were used to build my home were cut on the property. I have created my gardens and pond over the years.

Why the Owner Chose Friday Harbor

I moved my family to Friday Harbor to enjoy the island lifestyle. We love having the ocean close by and all the wonderful beaches, especially South Beach.

The Unique Benefits of this House

The property is completely protected from the ocean winds and has total privacy in all the yard space. You cannot see another home from any of the windows in my home. Each of my neighbors has 5 acres or more of property. It is a very quiet setting.

    • What a fantastic find! This beautiful log cabin was the perfect week-long getaway. We enjoyed the charm of the cabin while relaxing in the secluded yard that is surrounded by flowers. Truly a secret garden set on a beautiful pond. We saw deer in the morning and enjoyed walks along the country roads. I am looking forward to my next stay!

    • From the moment we drove into the driveway, we found this a relaxing, well maintained, and charming lodging. Midway through our stay, my wife commented it was to stay in a home with a woman's touch. The log cabin is beautifully decorated with eclectic pieces of art. As art lovers we enjoyed the wide range of interests--from the Mexican skeleton to the eco friendly framed art. It's an experience going from room to room to discover all the decorations. Well done! The sleeping and lounging accommodations were perfect! You can read a book from the book exchange in a comfy chair on the porch. The outside of the home is well maintained. All the flowers--I shot some pictures to use as cell phone wallpaper. And above all--the serenity of the island and this location nestled in the Douglas Firs are unmatchable. This is a home I will gladly return to in the future. The owner is warm and pleasant and really cares about her guests. My granddaughter found a touch of Twilight the book as we drove down the road to the highway, expeciting Edward to emerge from the woods and greet us with an island friendly welcome and farewell.

    • Excellent accomodations! We were looking for a unique but welcoming and relaxing environment and we found it. The setting is wonderful, lots of wildlife and a well maintained property. The cabin is comfortable and well kept with great character. The owner is personable and a joy to work with, genuinely concerned about the quality of your stay. Just sitting on the porch, listening to the windchimes and watching the wildlife would have made it a memorable experience.

    • The home is so well equipped and competely ready to settle in for a relaxing vacation! We had six people in our party and had plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed reading a book in the yard in the afternoon. Our own cast of deer joined us each day from the thick forest area surrounding the property. Thank you for making this spot available for us!

    • At the last minute my husband and I were able to rent this beautiful home for Memorial Weekend '09 for our honeymoon. I was astounded at how gorgeous the house and grounds are! The pictures do not do the place justice. We enjoyed a very relaxing weekend hiking and doing a little shopping at the local shops. What a wonderful time we had on the island. This is a great place to have a honeymoon!

    • My husband & I stayed here with our friends and the cabin was the perfect size for 4 people. There is another bedroom w/ 2 twin beds, so 6 could stay comfortably. We loved the peaceful setting. The deer & foxes roamed around. It was amazing to watch the momma deer nursing her 2 fawns. The cabin is about 5 miles from town, away from the noise and traffic. We definately recommend this oasis to others !!!
