Vacation Rentals by Owner

Total Relaxation

Date of Stay: 10/21/11 Review Submitted: 10/28/11

We wanted a place to relax for a weekend, and the camaloch cottage was perfect. The weather was not great, but it did not matter. We spent time in the hot tub, sat by the fire, walked to the store, and cooked some excellent meals. We have stayed at many vacation rentals over the years, and most of them feel like a vacation rental. The cottage, on the other hand, felt like we were staying at a friends house for the weekend. The cottage was very comfortable, cozy, and well appointed. Can't wait to come back with better weather and take the golf cart for a ride.

We had such a great time at this cabin. It truly has everything you need. We came for a family wedding on the island and stayed an extra day to just have some fun. We went hiking and sight seeing, had dinner in La Conner, used the hot tub multiple times and played checkers and Uno as a family. The cabin is clean, and well maintained. Gloria was so helpful and accommodating to our every need - we would love to stay here again and have some time to tour the neighborhood in the golf cart!

What a warm and comfortable home. Everything we needed for our comfort and entertainment was provided, cards, books, movies, sports equipment. The lake is beautiful, and both mornings we were there we watched a bald eagle fishing for his breakfast. All in all it was a beautiful, comfortable place to stay.

Well, we most definitely will be back & can't wait to jump in the golf cart & head to the course again. "Tenaya's parents couldn't believe how neat this place is!

We usually take one of our vacations every year to a place we have never been. This one was a real delight.

From email: "We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It wasn't as relaxing as I had hoped with people coming and going, and with me cooking more than I had wanted to do, but it was worth it seeing family & in such nice surroundings. The guys played golf one day & enjoyed the use of the cart & set some course records---most divots, most lost balls, etc! The spa was a welcome amenity after that day! The cottage was immaculate and it seems you have thought of everything to make your guests comfortable and we really appreciated that. We have already recommended it to several people who will be traveling to that area in the future. Thank you for accomodating us."
