About the host
Hosted by Sandra Starbuck
I grew up on a farm/ranch in Montana and retired a few years ago after working for many years in public service. My husband, Craig, grew up mostly in the Seattle area, and has worked in the automotive industry for many years - we moved to Anacortes from Vancouver, Washington, in 2008.
What a joy to live in Anacortes, and what an amazing experience it is to open our hearts and gardens to share with travelers!

Why they chose this property
The magic of this property is immediately evident when you drive up. It is nature - indescribably peaceful and beautiful year-round, thanks not only to our work but to that of the former owners and many others who helped over the years. Whether you're walking through the gardens, bird-watching, or sitting by the pond, you will feel the love and peace that is here, and word of warning, you may not want to leave!
What makes this property unique
The location is secluded and quiet, yet only a few minutes from downtown Anacortes. Close access also to all of the forest trails in Anacortes Community Forest Lands, so it makes an ideal location to base your exploration of Fidalgo Island, Deception Pass, and the San Juan Islands. We are new to this listing site, but have been in operation since 2016, and with over 600 reviews and a 4.97-star rating on another popular booking site - so, it is obvious how special Happy Valley Studio is. We are excited to expand our exposure to offer to a wider audience.
