Hi Nancy, Absolutely lovely feedback — thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the peaceful setting and the serenity of the property. Knowing that the kayaks and easy water access added to your stay is wonderful; guests often tell us those quiet paddles are a highlight.

We’re thrilled the house felt beautifully appointed and comfortable for you. It’s always our goal to create a space where guests can truly relax and savor the surroundings.

Hi Nancy, Thank you so much for your lovely review of THE OUTBACK House on Mitchell Bay.. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the peaceful waterfront setting, comfortable furnishings, well‑equipped kitchen, and the outdoor spaces overlooking the harbor.

Hi Kate, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m delighted to hear the house was beautiful for your stay and that you had everything you needed. I’m glad check‑in felt easy and that communication was smooth throughout. It’s great to know the activity suggestions helped make your family trip even more memorable.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your five‑day stay, especially the harbor views, the convenient proximity to Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor, and the peaceful wooded setting. I’m also very glad the home felt clean, comfortable, and well equipped for cooking — and that our communication and local guidance helped make your visit smooth and enjoyable. Seeing the Orcas is always such a special experience. I appreciate your note about the bathroom layout. The listing does describe the second full bath as being located in the detached garage, but I understand how that detail can be easy to miss, and how the weather can make that walk less convenient. Your feedback is genuinely helpful, and we’ll take another look at the wording to ensure it’s even clearer for future guests. We’re so pleased you had a wonderful stay overall, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime. Karen Palmer

Hi Layna, Dear Guest, Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and joy‑filled review — it truly means a great deal. I’m delighted to hear your group had such a wonderful stay and that the home suited six so comfortably. Knowing the kitchen layout, dining space, and living room made gathering easy is exactly what we hope for, and I’m glad the fireplace added to those cozy evenings together. It sounds like you made the very most of Mitchell Bay. The sunrises and sunsets from that great room are spectacular, and I love that you were able to enjoy them each day. The patio, the boats passing by, coffee and wine outdoors — that’s the magic of the island. And what an incredible treat to have seals visiting so often, plus orcas on your very first night. Moments like those stay with you. I’m also glad the detached garage bathroom worked well for your group and that the kayaks added to your experience. Mitchell Bay is such a special place to paddle, and it’s wonderful you were able to enjoy it several times. Your kind words about communication and the booking process mean a lot. It’s always my goal to make everything smooth and clear, and I’m so happy that came through. It warms my heart to hear this was your fourth trip to the island and that you hope to return with the same group — and to the same house. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back. Thank you again for the beautiful review and for recommending the home so highly. Karen P.

Thank you for your excellent review of this home and location. We hope to have you as guests again. Karen Palmer

We are thrilled you enjoyed the house and its amenities! Come back a visit again, we enjoyed having you. Karen Palmer
