Golf fanatics
We just finished an Alaska cruise and was lucky enough to spend nine days on Camano Island. It was golf, great food from the Blue Heron and a ferry trip for more golf on Lopez Island. We did hikes on Camano golfed up North at Sudden Valley, we had such a great time we’ve booked the house again for next summer. It would have been our best trip ever if the blackberries would have been ripe, but there’s always next year… Thank you, Randy & Marla…

This is the perfect get away home for one person or a small family. The property is situated right in the midst of bayside walking and easy driving to all the island amenities. It's setting is next to a large field which gives one a sense of space and serenity at this very gracious get away home.

Lovely old home made new
Aside from how beautifully this historic house has been redone (truly amazing details), what really knocked it out of the park for us were the owners' supportive, reliable communication and the cleanliness of the place. We have to be sticklers for clean surroundings due to immunosuppression, and this is, hands down, the cleanest place we've ever stayed. The beds were super comfy, the book selection fantastic, and the porch perfect for a morning cup of tea. We hope to return one day with our older teen who loves bird watching, and this place is perfect for that. Thank you so much!

A great stay... again...
We are repeat customers at this location and we just love it. The owners did an awesome job at renovating this farmhouse, we had everything we needed to cook while onsite (which is a big thing for us); the location on Camano Island is also beautiful and relatively close to Stanwood where you have more options for provisions and dining as well.

Peaceful Thanksgiving Get-away
We traveled to Camano Island to celebrate Thanksgiving with family. The Arlene was the perfect haven to recover from the family chaos. ;-) In all seriousness, there wasn't space for us to stay with family so it was great to have such a wonderful space to retreat to at the end of the day. Incredibly quiet, beautifully decorated, fully equipped. And wow, the croissants that we found waiting for us on our arrival were incredible. Such a welcome surprise treat! Thank you for such a wonderful stay. I wish we would have had more time to enjoy the outdoor space and fire pit as well. Next time!

Lovely, charming home with great decor and wonderful yard!
We loved the Arlene! The house is a charming old farmhouse with a well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds. We spent our evenings around the fire pit under the string lights tucked into the juniper trees! I loved the original hardwood floors and rich history of the house. We were welcomed with some nice personal touches and Marla was a gracious host. I was surprised at how busy the road outside the house was, it didn’t keep us awake or anything but it is definitely a well traveled street, something to be aware of if you are a light sleeper. The house is also on a well, and well water has a unique smell and feel if you are not used to it. We would absolutely return to the Arlene, and hope to someday!

Beautiful, cozy, charming, unique property that is a great location to serve as your home base for all of your island/Seattle area adventures! Lovingly restored and returned to her former glory, The Arlene is sure to delight you as she did us! The owner's personal touches enhance your stay and leave you wanting for nothing. I was especially fond of the egg chair and cozied up there every evening as we wound down from our long days out. Highly recommend!

Historic Cottage Met All Our Needs
This property was historic, charming, ultra clean, well equipped, comfortable, conveniently located and economical. It was perfect for two couples of different generations. We compared our lodging with that of several other people who were attending the same family wedding and all agreed we had by far the best place. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

The Arlene is Amazing!
My best friend and I stayed at this farmhouse lovingly referred to as "The Arlene" for a week-long, 50th birthday celebration trip. It was wonderful! The restored farmhouse is beautifully decorated and the size and layout met our needs perfectfully! The house had EVERYTHING we needed, from a Keurig to Ziploc bags. The area where the farmhouse is located is so peaceful. We were able to walk to the nearby bay and catch some pretty spectacular sunsets! We also enjoyed fresh apples from the tree next to the farmhouse. Marla personalized our stay with a welcome sign in the kitchen and a cute package of S'mores ingredients....which was of use sitting out by the firepit in the Adirondack chairs. Did I say peaceful?! Overall, this is just a beautiful and welcoming farmhouse with very responsive owners! We will visit again!

We love Camano Island - and want to make sure your stay on our little piece if paradise is amazing! We believe in great service and hospitality, going the extra mile and treating others as they want to be treated.

Why they chose this property

This farmhouse was built in 1914, and was owned by the original owner's granddaughter (Arlene). She had moved out decades ago, and the house was vacant and overgrown. I would drive past this house every day on my way to and from work. I could tell it was a unique home, even though the trees and hedges were hiding the majority of it. I looked up the owner on the county records, and sent Arlene a note showing an interest in the property. I sent her notes for about 5 years, until we finally met at the house and we made her an offer that she accepted. We hired a contractor who took it down to the studs, added a new roof, new kitchen, added a bathroom, removed the wall separating
the living room from the kitchen and along the way discovered beautiful shiplap, clear fir floors and other unique treasures that we incorporated into the remodel. She has great vibes!

What makes this property unique

Located on Arrowhead Road, steps to Utsalady Bay, close to the IGA Grocery Store, the Camano Commons and the Arrowhead Ranch.
