You finally make some time to write and get settled at your computer. But the doorbell rings, the dog goes berserk, and the UPS guy says, “Sign here.”
You head back to your computer, but are overwhelmed by the need for a cup of coffee and make a detour to the kitchen. On the way, you pass the laundry room and realize you could write while the washer’s going. So you throw in a load. That's when the phone rings.
If only you could free yourself from distractions long enough to get your work done. If only there were a place set up just for writers in an inspiring location. If only there were a place like the Whidbey Island Writer's Refuge.
Imagine...
• Thoreau’s cabin on Walden Pond – only with Wi-Fi and indoor plumbing. • Being able to escape the distractions of your everyday life, and write – on beautiful Whidbey Island. • Paying less per week than you would at a bed and breakfast, hotel, or vacation rental.
Created by a writer, the Whidbey Island Writer’s Refuge supports you in doing your best work.
Amenities for writing
• Wi-Fi (with Internet access) • USB printer/copier/scanner • Phone & answering machine • Desk, chair & bookshelves
Amenities for living
• Bathroom with shower • Kitchenette with gas range, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker & toaster • Dishes, flatware, glassware, utensils, pots & pans • Robe & towels • Stereo with CD player • Full-sized bed • Wood-burning stove & firewood • Dining table & chairs • Recliner • Large screened porch
Because our mission is to support writers by minimizing distractions, we deliberately do not offer some amenities. For example, there is no television or means of playing recorded movies at the Writer's Refuge.
Our policies
• We do not allow smoking in the cabin OR on the grounds. • No pets are allowed. • Guaranteed quiet hours are from 8:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on school days. Other quiet hours can be arranged by agreement—as long as they do not place undue hardship on your hosts. • The refuge is available only to writers and those who need to get away to focus on a project. • Because writing is a solitary activity, we do not offer double occupancy.
