About this property

Modern Dream Lake Samish Waterfront Home

High Ceilings and Large windows make this home a place where the weight of the world fades away.

There is one bedroom with a queen bed, one queen size sleeper sofa (with a gel mattress) in the great room as well as a blow up queen mattress. A great place for two to six for a fun weekend.

My 'Girly Industrial' house theme is expressed in the pink accents, hand painted black peonies on the grey concrete floors to the truss joist with car-decking for the ceiling creating a loft like space.

I put in 'old lady' steps to easily get into the water off the dock so more are able to enjoy the lake on a hot day.

My house is designed for accessibility no curb for the shower 36 inch wide doors and it is all on one level. I brought my friend who is in a wheel chair for a weekend and she was happy to be so independent. For further details please call.

I am not always at a computer ( I am somewhat of a luddite) so my response time is not instant. I am at my computer on Mondays. Please feel free to call if time is of the essence. that is the best way to reach me.

Great ambience and wonderful amenities. I had a wonderful visit. Even saw an American Bald Eagle flying near the house; the view across Lake Samish kept my attention on the changing light. If you like comfort in a designer decor, this is your place.

Excellent experience

Stayed 3 nights. Really enjoyed the place. Wish we could have been at the home more to enjoy the lake, but we were visiting family so not at the property itself except to sleep. Comfy, clean, would recommend for a couple traveling without kids.

The home was wonderfully designed, making for a unique and beautiful stay. The large windows in the living areas lent beautiful views of the lake and a feeling of openness to the environment. The laundry and bath and kitchen were very functional, well designed for use for the two of us. The kitchen and dining area could be a wonderful place to host another guest or two for dinner. The bed was comfortable, there was plenty of seating options in the living space. Jen communicated well from first contact to follow up message after our departure. Overall, it was a delight to stay at Jen's place.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Randall

Host profile image
I am an interior designer based in Seattle since 1975. Since 2020 I have been managing my projects from afar and working predominately from my Bellingham office.

In 2009 I designed and began building this house on Lake Samish. Fulfilling a life long dream of designing and building my own home. I tease my clients that I have had 40 years of practice on them when they see my house and like it.

I love my house and I enjoy sharing it with others..

Why they chose this property

I grew up on the lake I lived across West Lake Samish Drive (up on the hillaisw from this property) where my family still lives. They have lived at the lake since 1962.

I always dreamed of building a custom house on this slip of land that is my families access to the lake. I have been sketching for decades. So what you see is result of budget hitting dreams and shaking down into a comfortable relaxing place to be.

What makes this property unique

I grew up using the dock, swimming, skiing, and enjoying the lake however the first time as an adult I sat still and looked up the lake I felt the serenity of the view wash over me and I knew I wanted to live here.

So I have brought my precious things, my piano, art and Kitchenaid mixer (ha) to a space I can enjoy in anticipation of creating a place to retire. Until retirement I will share it with others and hope they can have a little piece of my dream for themselves.
