A deluxe "cabin", beautifully furnished and equipped. Stunning views, private and quiet.Convenient to Eastsound and Olga. Perfect for a family, or a few couples. Management was helpful and communicative. Very highly recommended. All this and a Finnish sauna!
Great location to downtown shops, restaurants, and tasting rooms. Loved the neighborhood.

Relaxing family getaway
Hidden Ridge Retreat is exactly that. Surrounded by trees, birds, the occasional deer, and a spectacular view. We lazed the days away. Proximity to Eastsound and local activities was ideal. It’s a steep drive, so AWD or 4 wheel is recommended. Would definitely come again.

Great View!
The setting was wonderful and the view was ever changing and beautiful.
This property is beautiful and the view is amazing. Great space inside, clean, and well-stocked. Check in was easy. The deck is great. Would stay again.
The house was amazing, and super comfortable. The drive in takes a little longer than you might expect, as it’s 10-15MPH on gravel roads. But once you get there, the views are amazing. It’s about 10 minutes from Eastsound, and very close to the park and Mt Constitution.
Absolutely incredible stay, we arrived and didn’t want to leave the gorgeous view. Beds were very comfortable, everything is well stocked, games and puzzles. Cozy place close to beach, state park, grocery etc. We hope to return.
Stayed here for two nights with 3 kids, and my only complaint was that we did not book longer. The view was truly stunning, and there was plenty of room and games for the kids. We had an issue with an EV charger, and someone from Vacasa was there the next day to check into it. Well done!

Love this place
We've been here 3 years in a row now with the kids and we absolutely love it. We'll be back again next year for sure. It's a sanctuary for your sanity, if you're looking to get away from the crowd and enjoy some peace and quiet. But it's also close enough to town if you need to get groceries or want to go out to dinner.
Great cabin that lets your really feel like you're away from it all, but still close enough to businesses and restaurants. Worked well for the 4 adults on the trip. There road does get a little questionable after leaving the main highway, but nothing that a standard SUV or truck couldn't handle.
The pictures of the listing are accurate, but they don't do the property justice. The house is one of the nicest we have rented through VRBO. The house was very clean, beautifully decorated, and extremely well stocked. The owners have thought of everything their guests may need and it is obvious they take pride in their home. Then there is that fantastic view, wow! The property managers were quick to respond to our messages. Check-in and checkout were a breeze. Fully agree with the advice provided to do your first drive up to house during daylight hours. The beds were very comfortable, so was the indoor and outdoor furniture. The house is located in a private community that is really quiet. The only other residents we saw during our stay were some deer. We highly recommend this property and will stay there again if we are in the area. Truly a special place.
The deer head needed to be dusted as well as a few other places. Cobwebs were hanging from the deer antlers.
I don't require constant text messages to remind me of things especially checking out. At times, I felt I was being surveilled

Can’t beat this view!
We traveled with two young kids and we enjoyed our stay. Best part of the house is the view. Honestly it’s more beautiful than we imagined. The big west facing windows make the view accessible from most parts of the house but the downside is that the heat can be stifling during a WA heatwave. The property only has one ceiling fan and a stand alone fan. We struggled to keep everyone cool, especially the young kids. I wish the house provided some sort of shade option, even some curtains or one more fan could have helped. If it was just adults we wouldn’t have minded at all but it would have made our stay 5 stars!

Hi, Jessica! We're delighted you stayed with us and appreciate your feedback. Your suggestions have been implemented as you will see with the new fan, and we are researching shade options. Thank you!

Beautiful view, scary road
House was very clean and quite spacious The instructions for entering the house were inaccurate. Told to use lock box but there is a keypad on the door that took up to 6 tries to open. The listing said TV but it would only work to play DVD,s. There need to be clearer instructions including which remote works. Great pillows, very firm beds and living room and loft seating were not very comfortable. Need more flatware in the kitchen. The road was described as needing 4 wheel drive. We did ok with our AWD forester but it was very dry. I would not want to attempt this road once the rains start.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we are glad you enjoyed our lovely home. Our apologies that you had difficulties with the entry. The listing does not advertise cable or streaming for the TV. We regret that the bed was not suitable for your party and appreciate this feedback as an area to improve upon in the future. We hope to host you again soon!

The Name is SO Appropriate!
The view across the sound is beautiful throughout the day through the almost floor to ceiling windows in the living room and the large kitchen window. Sunset is spectacular! The kitchen is so well equipped from vegetable peeler to stock pot to baking pans! Each room was decorated with style making it feel just like home! Lovely!
