Welcome to Chateau Nighthawk, located quietly on the top of Buck Mountain, near the highest point of the island. Enter the gated property with a lighted level drive and parking for many. Walk on the draw bridge across the mote into the chateau. Enjoy the many rooms in the 6000 sq ft. Look over-top islands and see all the way to the city lights of Victoria and Sidney BC.
As you enter the home, there is a large foyer that leads to the sunken great room. Enjoy the expansive views and access to the middle deck. The huge fully equipped kitchen has large windows to enjoy the views. There is plenty of room and equipment to prepare a large feast or entertain many.
Up the east stairs case off the kitchen leads to the east turret of the home where lies a grand suite with raised king size bed to enjoy the amazing views over the islands. Attached is a spacious en-suite that includes his and her sinks, walk in steam shower, and jetted soaking tub looking out over the islands. Past the bathroom is a walk-in closet.
From the kitchen through the great room is a large dining hall that seats 8 in front of huge windows gazing at the views. From the dining hall there are stairs that wrap down around the natural mountain rock with a water fall that drizzles down. The stairs lead to the lower level with access to the lower and largest of the three decks with hot tub. On this level sits a spacious billiard room with a full-size handcrafted pool table, full wet bar and plenty of games. Enjoy the views from this level as well. Finishing the lower level is a full bath with walk-in shower and a bedroom with a view and a queen bed.
From the front foyer go up the west stair case, where you arrive in the center turret with small wood dance floor and sitting room. There is a full bathroom with separate sink room and shower room. There are 3 rooms on this level; a family suite with king bed, and bunk room with two twin beds, sitting area, fantastic views and access to the upper deck, one with a queen bed and private en-suite, and a bunk room with two lower double beds and two upper twin beds.

Really neat home that fueled lots of fun and even a ghost story or two from my kids. Great for families wanting to do reunions etc as multiple masters are there. Town and supplies are less than 10 minutes away but its very private. Beautiful star gazing

The house is just as pictured, with a little pond with koi in it as you walk up to the door. You feel like you’re walking into a castle! You have an adventure inside and outside the house - there’s so many rooms to explore with the perfect views. Walk out on one of the 3 decks and you have amazing views that are never ending across the area. We saw eagles and hawks every day, we even had visits from the deer right next to the house. Relax in the hot tub or sauna and enjoy trails right on the property. Billiards table provided extra entertainment. If you’re looking for quiet, relaxing, amazing views - this is the place for you. Christopher was always quick to respond, if needed. Would love to visit again once work starts to slow down again! Thanks for having us!

We loved our stay here! The house is gorgeous and was perfect for our family to get away for a week and enjoy some time together. We’ll definitely be back!

Property and location were truly beautiful and Chris is a great host. Very responsive and helpful with the ferry and other logistical challenges. Would highly recommend!

We had an acceptable stay but the house did not live up to the description or expectations. The cleaning before we got there was cursory at best. Therewas even tiny glass shards all over the kitchen floor that we had to vacuum after a grand child cut her foot. It was dusty, there were dead bugs, mirrors were smeared, the backsplash behind the stovetop was greasy. Outside sauna Did not work. Chairs on the mastr deck are junk. MAin showerhead in second floor bath doesnt work. Two frozen chickens were in the freezer since who knows when. Had empty grill propane tank after two uses. No backups. Broken towel rack in bathroom. The hot tub was filmy with chemicals.
We paid top dollar for this property and it did not deliver as promised

Our stay at Chateau Nighthawk was unforgettable. The view is incredible and the property exceeded expectation. Perfect place for our small wedding! Friends and family raved about the location. Host was communicative and helpful. We would definitely return in the future!

We had a great time staying at this property. There were 13 of us and we had plenty of room to both eat and sleep. The large dining room was perfect for us to gather around. The view from this property is stunning and the house is so unique and grand. We would definitely stay here again.
5.0
Very interesting property with room for everyone. Lots of space to spread out so individual groups can do their own thing and everyone has a bedroom with a door that closes. The billiard room has its own fireplace which makes it a cozy place to relax. The dining room is super fun and kitchen has plenty of space to cook and prep. The surrounding woods include a stage and trails are a short distance away. We hosted a "murder mystery" one night and the house was perfect for it!

Chateau Nighthawk is a beautiful and very well upkept property in the foothills of Mt. Constitution. The internet was a bit patchy, but otherwise the stay was perfect.

Christopher was great to work with. We had several questions with traveling there by ferry and he was able to help and accommodate us with our needs. The house was well beyond our expectations. Truly enjoyed the time together as a family.

The pictures did not even do this property justice. One of the best views of water and mountains. There was plenty of space for our small wedding and the pictures on the property turned out amazing.
5.0
This property has an absolutely stunning view. It was roomy and spacious for all of us. The owner was very courteous and attentive. We would absolutely stay there again.
2.0
The property is stunning, as advertised, and beautifully furnished. More than enough room and little hideaways for our group of 12 to spread out and have quiet areas to themselves. Plenty of linens and supplies, but you may have to look around for them. There are two laundry rooms. The kitchen is very large, several people can cook at once. A very nice gas grill is located just off the kitchen. We had some maintenance issues, but Christopher came over immediately to take care of them.

We had a wonderful 4 day stay with our family including 4 little grandchildren age 14 mos to 6 years. The kids had a great time riding their bikes on the long driveway. The house is beautiful and the views are fantastic. Thank you for a great vacation retreat.

It’s hard to undersell the views from Chateau Nighthawk—it’s an amazingly gorgeous place. It also easily slept 10, and the huge kitchen makes preparing big meals so easy. There’s a firepit nearby, and they all of the wood ready for us when we arrived. And maybe the best part is you’re just 15 minutes from both Eastsound and Moran State Park.
2.0
Outside of a few minor things that didn't work or were difficult to understand, it was an amazing stay. Great views, lots to do around the house, lots of kitchen supplies and gadgets!

We held our wedding here and we all really enjoyed the property. There was something for everyone. Good counter space and cooking facilities for food prep. Game room with pool table for those looking for fun. Hot tub for relaxation. The views of the San Juan Islands and beyond are exceptional. The owners were very responsive to questions before and during our stay. We took advantage of the short drive from the property to Eastsound for errands and Moran State Park for recreation. Keep in mind that the drive back and forth to Eastsound is short but steep and narrow - it would be an uncomfortable bike ride. It was also very quiet/peaceful during our visit. We did not hear or see neighbors. Be aware that check-out is rather early (11am) and there are multiple tasks required on leaving (collecting linens/starting laundry, closing-up hot tub, trash, cleaning up barbecue, etc.) - this is clearly laid out in the owner's instructions, but important to keep in mind if you're catching the 12:05 ferry. Overall, this was a wonderful place for our ceremony and all of our guests mentioned what a great venue it was. There is even talk of a family reunion here in the future!
