The house offers lots of comfortable spaces to relax and is surrounded by gorgeous trees, making it very private. The deck with firepit and large grill is a great asset. If you plan to cook, bring what you will need. There are plenty of dishes and cutlery but kitchen equipment is minimal.

About the host

Hosted by Doug Cooper

Host profile image
We're Doug and Larisa — a husband-and-wife team whose love of travel inspired us to create spaces where families and friends can come together, slow down, and explore somewhere new. Larisa brings a career in real estate and a designer's eye to every property we own — every finish, fixture, and furniture choice is intentional. Doug handles operations, guest communication, and hospitality, drawing on a career in animated films and theme park attractions where the guest experience is everything. We're art lovers, travel enthusiasts, and parents who understand what it means to want a space that actually feels special. We hope this home delivers that for you.

Why they chose this property

Most Bainbridge rentals lead with water views. This one leads with something different — a genuine forest immersion experience wrapped in professional design. If your group wants a beautiful, quiet place to actually slow down, cook together, read, puzzle, gather around a fire, and explore one of the Pacific Northwest's most unique islands, this is that place. Secluded enough to feel like an escape. Close enough to Winslow, the ferry, and the outdoors that you'll never feel stranded.

What makes this property unique

Every detail of this 1979 mid-century home has been professionally redesigned from the ground up — not flipped, but thoughtfully reimagined. Designer linens, curated art, custom lighting, precision coffee, and two gas fireplaces create an experience that feels more like a private retreat than a typical rental. The flexible layout — with a self-contained lower suite featuring two kings and its own fireplace — makes it ideal for families, multi-family groups, or friends who want space to spread out without feeling disconnected.
