The cabin, the view, the hosts... The whole experience was perfection. You could not ask for a more relaxing quiet secluded escape! Really hope to come back one day for an anniversary trip.

Absolute Perfection!!!

I couldn't imagine a more perfect spot to celebrate my anniversary with my husband. Usually when my husband and I travel, we are quite the go-getters and cram our schedule with things to do. This was the first vacation where we hated (and even refused) to leave our "home base". We were way more content to sit in the hot tub, watch the sunset and listen to the birds chirping away. Every detail at this place is so well thought out. Thank you for sharing it with us!!! : )

Yeah-the real holiday after the Christmas insanity, it went by way too fast. To be snowed in and watch Mt. Baker's steam vents turn pink in the dying light, knowing there was casserole and plenty of bourbon was indeed bliss.

Thank you so much for this little sanctuary at the 'tip' of the world! A snow covered deck, sunrise across the expanse of water, fresh brewed coffee, cozy hot tub, my best friend. "Every morning should start like this"!

Thank you for sharing your special home with us. We so enjoyed the spectacular views of Mt. Baker, and lights of Canada. The grassy terraces were perfect for practicing T'ai Chi Chih. We hope to return soon.

What an amazing place! The view-so beyond expectations. Bathan, you built this place so well, every detail considered.... We packed a picnic everyday...Ephesians 3:20 sums it up! Thanks for everything. We will have to come back. These islands captured our hearts, and we also didn't see any Orcas.

What a beautiful setting! Arriving over the crest of the hill is breathtaking! But even better is waking up to sunrise over Mt. Baker. And with the easy proximity to Eastsound, we had the best of everything. Thank you!

This was our first trip to the San Juan's, and the cabin put an exclamation point on it. Two of my favorite things on the trip were to watch the sunset and sunrise from the deck. We also enjoyed having dinner by the camp fire.

We were looking for a vacation rental that would be secluded and private. This cabin fit the bill. The cabin was as exactly described in the listing and was very clean. The views from the property were breathtaking. The views rival those from Mt. Constitution on Orcas Island. We watched the sunset from the deck or hot tub every evening. We also took advantage of the fire pit. It was also fun to roast hot dogs over the fire pit and eat smores. We saw deer, humming birds and other birds every day. This was the perfect cabin to get away from the hustle and stress of every day life.

Loved it, Loved it, Loved it. As usual, our trip to Orcas was entirely too short. Beautiful sunny days, deer, eagles, hummingbirds, and the little frog by the hottub welcomed us. We love it here, and we'll be back!

The pictures online do not do this cabin justice, you have to see in in person to really appreciate how beautiful it is. The view is the best I've ever seen, the firepit is peaceful, and perfectly landscaped, and the hot tub was sublime with the view. ...our experience was relaxing, fun, and absolutely perfect. We will definitely be back.

We had the pleasure of staying at this unique relaxing oasis over the 4th of July week. There are no words to appropriately desribe the views. The cabin is cozy and well appointed. Romantic, private and sooo relaxing. The island is our favorite place now. Town is just minutes away. Residents are very friendly. Can't wait to return. The owners are very accomodataing and know the San Juans. We can't recommend this cabin enough.

What an absolutely wonderful place to escape from Thanksgiving-if only we could have a honeymoon instead of Thanksgiving every year! Oh the view; Oh, the hot tub; Oh, the creatures stomping around in the dark forest where we can't spy them. Thank you for the beautiful retreat, the nicely supplied kitchen. .....hope we can come again sometime.

Good stuff here! ....fortunate to have seen many of the spots listen in "1000 Places to See Before You Die", ....this place rates as one of them in our book! The sight of Mt. Baker finally presenting itself to us after a few days in the clouds, with a full moon rising above it in the East, is a sight I will long remember in a lifetime of memories. The A.M. Hot Tubs were a treat, as well. Thanks for opening up your cabin to us, look forward to our annual fall trip.
