About this property

Luxury WATERFRONT LODGE on Whidbey Island, Hot Tub, Private Beach, 3 Fireplaces.

Soaring Eagle Lodge on Whidbey Island is a magnificent waterfront retreat nestled on a high bluff above Puget Sound, offering spectacular views of Skagit Bay, snow-capped Mount Baker, and the Cascade mountain range. A hike down the 'adventure trail' leads to our secluded, privately-owned beach.

Soaring Eagle Lodge stands out among vacation homes on Whidbey Island for its unparalleled sense of privacy and immersion in nature. The forested, park-like grounds are a nature lover’s dream with hundreds of towering evergreens and flowering trees, complemented by vibrant landscaping featuring tulips, daffodils, azaleas, rhododendrons, and more. If privacy is paramount and you seek a genuine escape in nature, Soaring Eagle Lodge is the perfect choice.

Soaring Eagle Lodge caters to guests who appreciate top-tier accommodations and modern conveniences. From deluxe Sleep Number beds and cozy plush robes to ironed pillowcases, heated travertine bathroom floors, and a jetted indoor soaking tub, every detail ensures comfort and luxury. Outside, a premium Bullfrog Spas hot tub invites relaxation amidst the natural beauty. Roaring fireplaces and original artwork inspired by the Pacific Northwest add warmth and character. A large, well-stocked gourmet kitchen delights chefs and home cooks alike, ensuring every culinary desire is met. Throughout your stay, indulge in refinement and elegance at every turn.

The Lodge takes its name from the majestic American bald eagles that soar along the coast of Whidbey Island. We're fortunate to host a bald eagle nest right on our property! During nesting season, our resident eagle pair is either incubating eggs (approximately April 1 to May 7) or caring for chicks eagerly awaiting their next delivery of fish (from May 7 to August 15). This awe-inspiring experience is cherished by many of our guests, who often marvel and comment on it.

With lightning-fast WiFi throughout the home, Soaring Eagle Lodge is an ideal place for remote work. Recognizing the importance of uninterrupted connectivity, we've installed a 48,000-watt Kohler whole-house generator. This ensures that your long-awaited vacation remains uninterrupted by power outages: the generator starts automatically, providing full home power for your safety and peace of mind. It’s a convenience you might not realize is crucial until you need it—a necessity on forested Whidbey Island.

Whidbey Island and the surrounding area offer a wide range of recreational activities, including golf, sailing, fishing, kayaking, whale watching, boat tours, horseback riding, bird watching, hiking, biking, shopping, farmer's markets, and more. Additionally, Whidbey Island is home to a number of excellent wineries, distilleries, breweries, tasting rooms, and hosts many festivals and events throughout the year.

Soaring Eagle Lodge is centrally located for day trips to Port Townsend, Anacortes, Langley, Coupeville, La Conner, Fairhaven/Bellingham, the San Juan Islands, and Victoria, BC. Moreover, the cities of Seattle and Vancouver, BC are only about 90 miles from the Lodge. However you choose to spend your time, you will feel rested and relaxed after your visit to Whidbey Island and Soaring Eagle Lodge.

Our primary goal as hosts is to deliver a unique and unparalleled vacation experience worthy of earning a five-star review from each and every guest. To date, we’ve earned over 200 five-star reviews, and we sincerely hope to earn yours.

Breathtaking property
This is our second time staying at this home and it never disappoints! The house (especially kitchen) is incredibly well stocked, and that makes things just sooo much easier. Ned is a great host as well, responsive and helpful. We will definitely be returning again.

I Don't Think You Could Ask for More!
My goal was to show my family a very Pacific Northwest Vacation and Soaring Eagle Lodge was the ideal spot. In my family, we bond and converse over cooking. This kitchen was a dream and in all honesty, maybe better equipped than my own! Nights were spent laughing over a fire in the fire pit and enjoying the immaculate grounds. My 3yo nephew loves the games and was constantly pulling a different one out of the library to play. All of the beds and furniture were all super comfy and cozy (even the pullout couch!). I knew we'd made big fans out of my family members when they were already planning the trip back next year before we'd even left! P.S. Ned (the owner) was incredible to work with and truly felt more like a concierge!

Lovely, well kept property with magnificent views & surrounded by beautiful sounds of nature. Spacious enough for gathering while simultaneously offering private quarters & peaceful nooks inside & out. The welcoming orca pod & the daily soaring eagles added to the joy experienced by all.

Perfection
This was by far the absolute best vacation rental I have ever used. The location is stunning, with beautiful views of the water and even Mt. Baker on clear days. We loved watching bald eagles fly by, watching the very active eagle nest on the property, and generally enjoying the beautiful grounds of the property. Inside the house was equally lovely. All furniture was comfortable and useful. The kitchen was stocked with absolutely everything you could think of and more, making it fun to prepare meals each night! Small touches and thoughtful finishes made this vacation property into the most amazing place to stay- we particularly appreciated the windbreaker jackets on offer when the cold wind picked up one evening and the abundance of games and activities that our children made enthusiastic use of.

Best VRBO in Washington State
It's hard to describe Soaring Eagle Lodge without a doctorate in creative writing, but I'll try. From the moment you pull onto the circle drive, you know you've found a slice of heaven. The home is spotless. Every window angled for optimal views. The grounds have abundant wildlife, and it feels as if you can discover something new every time you take a step. Our first moments, we saw 12, yes 12 bald eagles fly over and land in a nearby tree. Ned was incredibly responsive and respectful. He is easily the best host we've encountered. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime, we WILL be back!

A very special place
Soaring Eagle Lodge is a one-of-one property. It was truly a privilege to spend a weekend here with our family — we saw tons of bald eagles, deer, and even a small pod of Orcas. The house is beautiful and every little detail has clearly been considered. We hope to return here many times and share the experience with more family & friends.

Deserves a soaring review!
From the first view of this stunning home and the beautifully landscaped surroundings, to time spent walking the rocky beach or watching eagles soar overheard, to cooking meals in the gourmet-outfitted kitchen, to fires at the fire pit and in the great room (was chilly during our stay), to our last cup of coffee taking in a final view, the whole stay was just magical. We rarely return to a vrbo but plan to make a trip back. No cons for this house, and it's helpful to know that the beach is about 150 stairs down, with a couple of ladders. It wasn't a deterrent for us and while we enjoyed beach time, we spent most of our time taking in the views from the patio and the deck overlooking the ocean. It was hard to leave the property!

We are a group of ladies that go occasionally on weekend getaways. This by far was the best house we’ve ever stayed in. Beautiful home stocked with everything you need. Huge amazing kitchen for making our meals at home. Great outside area that we enjoyed with campfires, amazing water view, beach walk and relaxing in the hot tub.

Heaven on Earth!
This is truly the most beautiful place my family and I have ever stayed at. The interior is plush, pretty and comfortable- practically anything you could want and every detail thought through. The exterior is just a wonder. Views to die for in all directions- expansive water, trees, wildlife, flowers and magical faerie houses to discover. We made the most of the gourmet kitchen and the outdoor grill, played endless laughter filled games- and loved every second. To top it off, Ned is a delight to deal with and made everything so easy. We so appreciated our time there and can't wait to come back!!!

Enchanting and lovely
I give my overall experience a five star rating! From the moment I inquired about the rental and getting to know the owner to the check out process. The owner, management and the caretakers of the property were amazing. The house is every bit as beautiful if not more so then the pictures. The master bedroom is perfectly located on the ground floor and in the back so when the night falls and the morning rises you get a front row seat. There is dear and chipmunks and rabbits, lets not forget hummingbirds, wait, did I mention eagles? The bathroom floor is heated and there is a soaking tub that overlooks the expansive yard. I don't want to tell all but I could go on for days. The kitchen was so well equipped that my gourmet brother who visited for a few days made some exceptional meals. The fire places were easy to use and ready to use when we checked in. This is a three bedroom home with a den that has a very comfortable convertible sofa as well. There are three fireplaces on the ground floor, a washer and dryer, and a gorgeous back patio. The den is loaded with puzzles and books. The home is huge but very cozy. We had dinner out two nights, Fraisers Gourmet and Captain Whidbeys, both excellent. This is a very private home, if you are interested in quiet and seclusion this place is amazing. My favorite part of this home is the landscaping, when you rent you will know why. Every day was another field trip into enchantment. Thank you Ned for sharing your amazing home. Oona

Where the eagles soar high....and wonderous memories even higher.
Soaring Eagle Lodge is one of the most perfect VRBO properties we have stayed at both domestically and internationally. The owners attention to detail and responsive communications provided total piece of mind. Our group was multi-generational , one member had limited mobility and one had severe food allergies. The master bedroom and outside decks and property landscaping were perfect for assisted walking requirements. Because of one family members food allergies that precludes us from staying in hotels. THIS PROPERTY WAS THE CLEANEST AND MOST WELL APPOINTED KITCHEN YOU WILL FIND ANYWHERE. While cooking all of our meals in the large fabulous kitchen and setting up alfresco dinning on the patio..... we could see the eagles flying by, boats navigating Skagit Bay, bunnies and fawns in the sky-blue hydrangeas , marvel at the exquisite landscaped yard, and enjoy the snow capped view of Mount Baker. The décor was stunning, a perfect well balanced and tasteful nod to the Pacific Northwest without being too overdone nor detracting from the beautiful surroundings. The VRBO photos are spot on, it is absolutely as good as it looks. ALSO......they have thought of EVERY detail and there are instructions/notes throughout the house so you just ease right into the experience. I almost hate to leave such a glowing review because that means that I will have to compete with the likes of all of you for prime spots on the calendar.....so be it.

Perfect place to stay on the island
I knew it was not easy to pick a vacation house for a group of eight people. I really appreciate Ned for helping me a lot. First of all, we made the decision quickly based on the very attractive listing and reviews. When we once arrived, we just fell in love with the lodge without hesitation. Every group members found their favorite spots, enjoying private beach walks, birds watching, playing board games and cooking. Even we got back home, we still missed the stunning view of sunrise, of course the bald eagles family in the back yard. Thanks Ned again for the smooth communication and the details!

Whidbey Dream House!
We enjoyed our week long getaway to Ned's gorgeous dream house on Whidbey Island. The view, oh my the view! Just looking out the huge wall of windows and seeing bald eagles build their nest out front of the house was spectacular. The great room fireplace is enormous. The kitchen is huge and stocked well. The owner was just a text message away with any questions. Winding down and relaxing for the week at Soaring Eagle Lodge Widbey was just what we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Ned Towle, Owner, Soaring Eagle Lodge Whidbey LLC

Host profile image
I am originally from Boston, but Hawai’i has been home for over 30 years. Since discovering the beauty and charm of Whidbey Island and Soaring Eagle Lodge, I spend more and more time in the Pacific Northwest. It’s rewarding to share our home with guests who appreciate its unique qualities as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Imagine a quiet, peaceful, rural setting with open spaces, incredible natural beauty and abundant wildlife. I most enjoy the incredible variety of trees, including Douglas Firs, White Pines, Japanese and Leland Cypress, Western Red Cedars, Big Leaf Maples and Madronas; and the amazing variety of raptors, including Bald Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks, Northern Harriers, Cooper’s Hawks, Peregrine Falcons, American Kestrals, Great-horned Owls, Barred Owls and Western Screech Owls.

What makes this property unique

Soaring Eagle Lodge is a unique and truly one-of-a-kind property. The home is large but cozy and was beautifully designed and constructed with the finest materials. The ocean views and park-like grounds are stunning, but what it has that is rare is absolute privacy. Spending time at Soaring Eagle is a special experience that will leave you relaxed, rejuvenated, and wanting to return!
