Lodge at Deception Pass | Trails, Hot Tub, Walk to Cornet Bay

Kids and outdoor showers are a match made in heaven — glad that one was a hit! Sounds like the hot tub rounded out the evenings nicely after full days on the island. We're so happy the property was a good fit for your family, and we'd love to welcome you all back anytime.

When a stay is good enough to have you asking for an extra night, that's the kind of feedback we love to hear. It sounds like the large yard was a hit with the children, and that the well-equipped kitchen, right down to the s'mores and BBQ setup with two refrigerators, had everything you needed. That spread-out layout with the bedrooms at each end and the cabin room out back sounds ideal for giving everyone their own space. Thank you for the kind words, and we'd be delighted to welcome you back anytime.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the home, the location, and the friendly neighborhood. It’s great to hear the backyard was a perfect fit for your dog as well! Sounds like the nearby jet activity made for a unique and memorable experience too. We’d love to host you and your family again anytime!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're so glad to hear the home was a great fit for both kids and dogs, and that the well-equipped kitchen, hot tub, and fire pit added to the fun. It's always wonderful to know a space works well for the whole family — pets included. We appreciate your note on the pet fee and will pass that along for consideration. We'd love to welcome you and your crew back anytime!

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful review! We’re thrilled to hear the home was such a great fit for your artist’s retreat and that you were able to take full advantage of the indoor and outdoor spaces for creativity and relaxation. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the private backyard, nearby trails and beaches, and especially the hot tub and bonus standalone space—those are definitely guest favorites! We’re also glad our team was able to be responsive and helpful throughout your stay. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to host you again for another inspiring getaway!

Sounds like the hot tub and backyard earned their keep with a group that size. We're glad the layout worked so well, particularly having a space that could be closed off for the kids, and that being close to Deception Pass, Anacortes, and the Whidbey towns made it easy to get out and explore. Thank you for taking the time to lay out your suggestions so clearly, including the airflow and kitchen notes, all of which we've passed along to our team. We're also glad our team was able to get out the same day to address the detector concern. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again.

Hearing that your grandkids spent hours exploring the backyard is exactly the kind of memory we hope guests take home, and we're glad the location worked so well for trips to Anacortes and Deception Pass. That said, we owe you an apology. You reached out before arrival and again during your stay, and receiving no response either time is not acceptable. You should not have had to go out and buy fans yourself, and the fact that you then gifted them to the property speaks to a generosity we did not earn. Your point about the gap between our reservation experience and the standards of the homes themselves is fair, and we are taking it seriously. Our team has been made aware of both the communication failure and the airflow issues throughout the house and casita. We are grateful you have chosen us more than once on Whidbey, and we would very much like the chance to do better by you.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a rating! We hope you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back.
