The location is very picturesque and tranquil. Sitting on the deck in the evening is amazing. The property is well maintained, including kitchen appliances and dishes. The best maintained property that we’ve experienced on Lopez.

The home was spacious and comfortable for our family group. The view from the house and the large deck is spectacular. The long stairway down to the secluded beach is well worth the effort. We enjoyed cooking family dinners in the well equipped kitchen. We also appreciated the interesting decor. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks for sharing your place.

We had a wonderful week staying on Lopez. The house is beautiful with lots of room and different spaces. The beds are nice and comfortable. Beautiful deck, great hot tub, amazing views especially sunset! The beach is so nice and private. There are stairs down to the beach, so it’s a bit of a trip back up, but worth it! Lovely property. We had a great stay!

The property and home are even better than the pictures, if that’s possible. The communication with the management team and the check in process were the best I’ve ever experienced with a VRBO property. We truly felt at home here - it takes an effort to get there - pay attention to the ferry schedule! - but it that just made Channel House seem like more of a hidden gem.

Our extended family of ten enjoyed staying at the Channel house. Francisco, the house manager, met us at the house initially, giving us the house tour and answered all of our questions. When we had a caffeine emergency, coffee pot malfunction the first morning, he replaced the coffee pot quickly. The views of the Channel and the San Juan Island were spectacular. The homes open dining area and kitchen were great for communal cooking and eating meals together. We used the deck lots for outdoor dining. Our kids ages 6,5,4 and 3 loved the Bunkhouse, both parent couples bedrooms were close by down a private hallway. The upstairs master suite was a great getaway when the grandparents needed alone time. As you can imagine with 4 young children we used the king sized washer and dryer. The piano playing member of our family enjoyed the piano on the property. Most nights ,after the kids were tucked in bed for the night, we spent soaking in the spa, sipping cocktails and watching the sunset. The kids played outside on the deck and side yard. We were down at the private beach most days, rented kayaks and bikes nearby at Fishermans Bay. Went to the Farmers Market which was lots of fun. We created lots of lasting memories for everyone at Channel house.

This was our second time at Channel House and everyone enjoyed the property. There were 8 adults and two kids so everyone had enough space either inside or outside. The house was well stocked with the necessities to cook and prepare meals, which we did most evenings. Hike or relax on the deck and pay attention to the boat traffic as this was the second time we watched the local Orca pod from the deck. There is a set of binoculars at Channel House, but if you have a good set bring them. We give this house a solid 5 stars for the second visit. We made lifelong memories because the owners offer this house on VRBO. You will be happy if you do the same.
