  Nita's cabin is a wonderful place to go to relax and/or as a starting point each morning for your adventure around the Skagit Valley. It was very much as described and met our needs perfectly. My only regret was that we didn't have more hours at the cabin since the view is gorgeous and very peaceful. Make sure you're there for sunset and be sure to have a glass of wine with you!

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: Touche! It's true about the view and the setting. Most people tell us they would have liked more "down time" at Nita's as it is an amazing setting. Two nights just gets you started, three nights makes you forget. Hope to see you back for the Snow Geese in the fall. Bob and Greta

  My wife and I recently had the chance to stay in Nita's Cabin on Fidalgo Island. We were looking for a quiet, romantic, secluded get away, and Nita's provided just that. When you stay in a place like Nita's, if you're a novice to this sort of vacation rental (we were), you need to keep in mind you're staying in another family's cabin, not a strictly commercial unit, so you'll find evidence of their lives and lifestyle around you as you settle in to the inviting living space. The kitchen is fully supplied with an eclectic mix of gear that includes all the things you need for preparing, cooking, serving and eating. I should mention that we never did find the paper towels, napkins or coffee filters (they were probably there, but we couldn't track them down) so you might want to bring some paper goods with you. The gas fireplace in the seating area heats the cabin very well (it was rather cool, even cold outside that weekend) and provides great ambiance. The bedroom has a window that opens to provide views of the Sound through the living room picture windows that are just wonderful to wake up to. The cabin's location on a corner means you have a much greater sense of seclusion than you might have further up the street, where other cabins seem to invade each other's space more noticeably. If you're in town to shop and sample the local eateries, La Conner is just across Swinomish Channel, a short drive or reasonable walk from the cabin. If you want to just get away from it all, Nita's deck based hot tub, delightful views and many amenities will making staying hidden away easy and enjoyable to do. If you have kids, there's a great bunk house style bedroom for them ... separate from the grown up sleeping quarters. :) Be prepared to do your own dishes and laundry before you leave, and so long as you took good care of the place, you'll get your security deposit back in about a week, by our experience. We'd highly recommend Nita's to anyone looking for a quiet, cozy get away with a more personal touch than a hotel or commercial cabin.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

  Owner response: We are so glad you enjoyed Nita's, sounds like you did up the town too! For next time, no worries, Nita's coffee maker has a gold filter, it doesn't require paper filters (and we provide cloth napkins in a drawer in the kitchen island). We agree it's much more completely furnished than most rentals and are glad you like the personal touches. As with all rentals, you do need to do your own dishes. It is a private home, so we don't have laundry service, so starting the laundry is much appreciated but not required. Thanks for taking such good care of Nita's, we are thankful to have such nice and thoughtful guests! We hope to see you back again.

  Four women of a certain age, old friends, spent 3 nights here and we had a ball. The house is not fancy, rather it is eclectic and inspired in its decor, use of vintage/thrift store items. The owners must be artists because everything in the place has a cool factor. The setting is quiet, private and gorgeous. The living area is perfect for conversation, playing games, reading, eating, drinking and relaxing. Only one bathroom (no prob for us). Beds were very comfy, including the extra-long twin I slept in. Old stove but worked okay. If it's luxury you're looking for this is not your place. If you want a sweet cabin to spend quality time with friends or family, Nita's is highly recommended.

  Owner response: We love to share Nita's and its true it is full of cool vintage stuff, including a great stove with colored/lighted push buttons We think its cabin fancy, although things purposely aren't matchy matchy. We do make sure the real luxury items are there. Comfy beds, comfy seating and a killer view! That is our definition of luxury! It's certainly not a generic condo experience, it's way more fun! Glad you enjoyed it.

  My husband and I truly enjoyed our time at Nita's cabin. The view is spectacular and we really liked seeing all the different types of birds feeding out the kitchen and front windows. We had to buy some special food for the squirrels too and they were pretty happy. We watched a pair of eagles feed with provided binoculars, which was a treat. The whole environment felt like very relaxing and they have tons of odds and ends there that you just might need!

  Unforgetable. We came home rested. The whole feel of the "cabin" was refreshing. I took cards to refer friends there for a wonderful vacation.

  Nita's cabin was just what we were searching for. Not only was it clean and fully stocked with all that one would need, it's interior decor boasts the best of the Northwest. It's apparent that this property is a special retreat and one that the owners have taken great care in maintaining. Nita's is the perfect place to relax and refuel. Our girls were in heaven and asked when we could return. Long weekend getaways in scenic locations with family make memories that will last forever. For all of us, we will never forget our wonderful stay at Nita's.

  Owner response: Katie Your email that said your daughters are convince that fairies live at the cabin made us really happy, we agree! Glad you had fun and we hope to see you back. Best regards, Greta and Bob

  Just returned from 2 nights at Nita's Cabin and had a a lovely time. Even in the midst of a wind storm, the bird watching was delightful. We had everything we needed to create a very relaxing, rejuvenating, and rewarding reunion with one of my dearest old friends. Thank you :-)

  Owner response: I am always amazed at how many birds you can see from the windows at Nita's, glad you had a good time even in a storm! Thanks again for choosing Nita's! Greta and Bob

  I managed to surprise my boyfriend with a getaway to somewhere he'd never been & that allowed him to be completely away & just relax; the location & accomodations here were perfect, plus it's dog friendly which was a major plus for me, since my dog is like our kid. We had great weather that allowed us to just sit on the deck, with a glass of wine (me) & bottle of beer (him), & just enjoy the warmth on our skin, peace & serenity of just breathing in & out. AFTER, of course, my dog (labrador) immediately found a shortcut down to the water & proceeded to enjoy frolicking to the fullest - it was his getaway too so, I couldn't be too upset. He got to fetch & splash/swim around & then zonk out in front of the fireplace on his bed. All the cabin ammenities were great; comfortable bed that you could look out to the water from, dvd player to enjoy a movie, comfortable chairs/couch, fully stocked kitchen, lounge chairs for the deck, & the hot tub looked inviting - we just didn't end up using it. The notes & instructions for everything were cute & very thoughtful - pretty much any question you may have, they answered. (Although finding the vaccum was a lil game of hide-n-seek.) I enjoyed filling up the bird feeders & just watching all the different birds come around. Plus the occasional squirrel - one is affectionately named Dorito now, after he went bonkers finding a stray chip that dropped & kept coming back for more. In addition to the little birds, the heron were plentiful, & on our last day we enjoyed multiple bald eagles as well. All in all just a great place! You're conveniently about 10 minutes from the town of La Conner & all it's shops, eateries & small grocery store too. (I highly recommend Seed's restaurant!)

  Owner response: We love stories from our guests about good times at Nita's, we are glad to share Nita's good vibes! Glad you had a good trip!

  My wife and I had the most relaxing weekend we've had in a long time. We we amazed by the panoramic views and all of the wild life. We watched in awe as up to six bald eagles flew within yards of the windows as the swooped in on their prey and returned to nearby trees to feast. The cabin is perfectly laid out and appointed. We hope to return many times in the future.
