The house , location , host was so great! Would recommend and will be back !

This house was perfect for a family getaway! The lake was so peaceful and serene. The kitchen sink overlooked the water for inspiring views and cool breeze which made spending time in the kitchen fun. I loved eating out on the porch overlooking the lake. The balcony off the master bedroom was great for enjoying a little quiet time away from the kids. It was ideal for this waterlover and family. The kids had a blast on the paddle boards! I really appreciated the provided paddle boards as we could only fit one in the car by the time everything else was packed. One day I'd love to retire to a home like this! Local activities were plentiful! We explored the state parks on the island, visited the navy bases to watch the planes. The big hit was the Blue Fox Drive-in. Langley was charming. I've been recommending it to friends who are looking for a low-key family vacation not too far from home. I've heard wonderful things about Pickles Deli, but unfortunately when we tried to visit on our way home, it was closed. We'll just have to go back again!

The lake house was fantastic, better than expected, and they are great hosts. We love Whidbey and it was nice to spend time on the lake and at the ocean out at Double Bluff. My only complaint is we didnt catch any fish but we have to take blame for that.

My brothers were excited to be able to walk right out and fish off the dock. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. I would definitely return if i had the chance.

We travelled to Whidbey to attend a wedding. This home was perfect for the 6 of us during our stay. Beautiful views each morning and convenient location close to shopping. Wedding was at Dancing Fish Vineyard only 15 minutes away. Comfortable beds, 3 bathrooms in this great accommodation. Thank you so much.

Beautiful location, close to the amazing grocery store the goose. There's shopping and restaurants in Langley. A 7 minute drive to the Clinton to Mukilteo Ferry. A nice spot for day trips up to all the Whidbey Island attractions.
The house is comfortable, nice beds with good pillows and fluffy comforters, a huge *completely* stocked kitchen. Every soap in the house is high quality fully stocked bathrooms, washing machine/dryer, and dishwasher.
The dock is great, we spent a lot of time playing basketball and looking at the view. Comfy couches.
Fully stocked huge kitchen, dog and kid friendly. Enclosed area for your dog. Huge blackberry bush.
We had an amazing time and can't wait to go back. Great communication from Patty and Paul, lovely hosts.

What a great lake house! We were five adults and a small dog with ample room and lots of space! Exactly as pictured. Whenever we had a question Patti responded quickly and she was so nice! Perfectly located between the ferry dock and Langley. Kitchen is stocked with all cooking equipment but bring your own condiments and cooking oil. The master bedroom mattress is on the softer side and is great for side sleepers. I’m one of the few who sleep on their back so it was uncomfortable for me, but nothing a soak in the hot tub wouldn’t fix!

We enjoyed staying at this property! The 81 acre lake was a wonderful escape for my guys using the kayaks to fish. We also did a lot of day trips to Langley, Port Townsend, Fort Casey and other beaches in the area.

Good communication, clean house, and great location for swimming, fishing, farmers market, and relaxing. House had two 10-1/2’ stand-up paddle boards available (fun). Not far from Clinton ferry terminal. Will come back again.

Relaxing Stay
The end-of-the-road location of this rental makes it an inviting respite from a busy life. Our weather improved during the week and we were able to thoroughly enjoy the deck overlooking the lake. Beds were very comfortable and the 3rd bath and high end laundry facilities were appreciated. This property easily met all of our needs on this quiet island.

Beautiful and kind
The views were amazing while soaking in the hot tub on the lake. We were in town for work so we were not able to fully experience the area but we were greeted by the host promptly and met with a level of kindness that knows no equal. I would recommend this hideaway to anyone.

This house is amazing.
We loved the spacious rooms, the deck was perfect and the hot tub was great. They had everything we needed to cook, rest, relax, pick blackberries and it was so centrally located; a short drive to a store, wineries, nurseries, and Langley for restaurants.
We didn't swim in the lake, but will plan to on our next visit
It's a gem.

Our fifth summer at the lake house
This was our fifth summer at the lake house. Our family keeps going to the house because of good fishing and swimming lake access, clean house, and good communication with owners. We caught large mouth bass from the dock and rainbow trout from the row boat. The hot tub was a plus.

Great value, beautiful lake views.
Perfect spot for a family vacation! Quick drive from ferry, close to restaurants and grocery store. Kids loved jumping off the dock. Large deck with beautiful view of the lake. Great value, house could use a deep cleaning.

Lovely Lake
Nice home with great view/deck/hot tub. Comfortable beds & well stocked kitchen. Good location - close to Mukilteo Ferry terminal. Nice quiet lake. We used our paddle boards off the private dock on the property. Whidbey Island is a gem. We enjoyed hikes with stunning scenery everywhere we went.

Great retreat
The location was super convenient to the ferry. The rooms were spacious and the kitchen well stocked with things needed to cook. We had hoped to fish but missed that fishing didn’t open on the lake until April 24th. We still enjoyed our time gazing at the lake and using it as a base for day trips. We wish the window coverings were a little more substantial to keep the light out for our kids to stay asleep and also provide privacy in the bathrooms. Overall, a great stay!

A few girlfriends and I stayed together at this relaxing Whidbey property. We were happy with the cleanliness of the whole house and the full kitchen. The lower backyard has a firepit, and dock/water access. It is so close to the ferry, and a short drive to nearby Langley where we had delicious choices of lunch & dinner (take-out). We highly recommend for a getaway trip. - Host was prompt to respond via email (usually 24-48 hours)- Dock access was a plus. There is a row boat with paddles- Hot Tub was clean and the temperature got up to 103 degrees fahrenheit. - Towels were provided, both bath & hot tub towels- Ample amount of space to lounge, living room has remote-controlled fire, lots of natural lighting throughout the home.- We will be back! Thank you for sharing your home!

When we first came upon the property it was exactly as portrayed in the listing. A beautiful home at the bottom of a hill overlooking the water. We needed a little bit of normal after the last year and this place helped us get there. The hot tub overlooking the water and large open deck were a welcome retreat and the quiet and somewhat secluded neighborhood allowed us to have a great time without worry.The management team was extremely responsive and has done a brilliant job of keeping lists of local restaurants/hikes/activities available for all as well general rules about the town. We can't stress enough how much we enjoyed our stay and can't wait to do it again.

Quick refresher
It was great. Simple like we wanted. Power went out but the place was prepared. It snowed and we sleded down the drive way. Hot tub was perfect.

A Relaxing Lakeside Retreat - Great Value!
We had a wonderful stay at the Deer Lake house on Whidbey Island. Nearly every room had a beautiful view of the lake and the wildlife. It was so relaxing. Being that this is the time of Covid, we came prepared to stay at the house most of the time for the six days that we were there. We brought all our own food, kayaks, etc. This house is very suited for a retreat during a pandemic. We all agreed that the house was FAR nicer than it had appeared in the pictures in VRBO. The kitchen had been remodeled since the photos were taken, and it was really quite lovely. We enjoyed having a gas stove and electric oven...the best combo! The kitchen was truly fully equipped with all pots and pans, blender, utensils, spices, teas, etc. In addition to a living room with gorgeous lake views, there is a TV room that is equipped with games, DVD’s, all the streaming services, etc. The outdoor hot tub was great, and private. The beds were extremely comfortable. The bathrooms were well stocked with body wash, shampoo, etc. There is a combo laundry room/bathroom on the main level. We appreciated being able to wash our clothes after kayaking on the lake in the rain! The property management team was very responsive to any questions that we had. Best still, the rates were very affordable for a waterfront house. Would stay there again in a heartbeat, and would heartily recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing retreat on Whidbey Island!

Beautiful views, great location, picturesque little lake. Nice house, but a little funky. Really could have done without the deck statues startling us.

Our stay at the lake!
We had an amazing time at the lake. The house was perfect for our family's needs. We had room to spread out if needed and room to all fit around the dining table for nightly family games. The view of the lake from the deck was gorgeous and we spent a lot of time hanging out there. We also loved playing in the lake. We brought our paddle boards and spent many mornings paddling the lake and watching the sun come up. We also fished, swam and relaxed on the dock. We would love to make this a yearly family getaway!!
