About this lodge

The Langley Retreat at the historic CRAWFORD HOUSE lies in a secluded nature setting on glorious Whidbey Island in Washington State. Enveloped in three acres including a quarter acre pond with a wide variety of trees and local wildlife, the property sits within walking distance of the charming seaside village of Langley.

The sprawling 6000 sq ft property has a unique feel of immense warmth with private bathrooms and fireplaces in the majority of bedrooms, a great room for gathering including a fireplace and grand piano, a small 2nd kitchen with fireplace, a great hall for gathering with bar and a 14 person table and large old-world chef's kitchen. The kids lounge has games, foosball and tv to keep little ones occupied!

6 spacious bed/bath on one wing and a private caretaker suite and kids quarters/overflow sleeping nooks on the other wing which can be added to your booking for larger groups!

Note: majority of beds are for double occupancy (King beds) but some smaller beds are available.

Highlights:

* Private bathrooms and propane fireplaces in every one of the 6 main bedrooms
* 2 king-size suites with private decks and corner Jacuzzi bathtubs that can fit two people!
* Large outdoor space, including a 500 sq ft wisteria covered outdoor patio right off the kitchen, lawn, fruit trees, and pond.
* Second bistro-style kitchen and cafe-style area for making simple meals or sitting around yet another cozy fireplace!
* In total, 8 working fireplaces
* Kids play room with pull out couches/murphy bed/sleeping nook
* Private bathrooms/shower in each room
* High Speed Wi-fi throughout the property

Langley Retreat @ Crawford House is the perfect location for hosting retreats, family reunions and romantic getaways. Can do small groups for retreats as well. But NOT a party house or a house that can host weddings. Parties are disruptive and alert the neighborhood, which will forfeit deposit.

A group of old college roommates with our partners and newborns spent the weekend here and had a great time. Spacious, great bedrooms. We hired a private chef, who cooked a couple meals in the kitchen, which was large enough to comfortably handle the large meals. Backyard is great for lawn games. And Lara and Jennifer were communicative and very helpful. Would definitely recommend renting.

I booked this house over a year ago to celebrate with our entire family and it was fabulous! From the coffee beans to the bottle of wine and fresh strawberries they left us on arrival to the special treats that the manager Jennifer brought us for movie night and back yard smores. Jennifer even ran over with a scale one night so we could make sure 2 of the kids weighed enough for the zipline tour they wanted to do. Lara was a delight to work with and I would stay here anytime again. Thanks so much for all you did to make the trip special.

We had a group of 13 (six couples and a brother). This place could not have served our group any better. The space was perfect. Having six bedrooms on one wing of the house each with full in-suite bathrooms, each with large comfy beds, and all separated from the other wing of the house was perfect. A hallway with a sort of storm door separates the sleeping area from the living area is what made this place so perfect. If our group was hanging out in the overly spacious living room and someone wanted to go to bed, they could get away and enjoy a quiet nights sleep. The kitchen is very well stocked with all equipment needed, the 10 burner stove with double oven is perfect for cooking for a large group. We were all able to sit at the dining room table for meals together. The patio was very spacious and so peaceful for a morning cup of coffee (deer would walk right up to the patio to eat from the trees). The “caretaker’s suite” was also a really nice addition for our 13th guest to have their own space as well. The host was great, this house was perfect, we will definitely be back to stay here. My only advice to guests who are not from the area, the ferry can have long wait times if you plan on going off the island. Wasn’t a huge deal, but we did push our dinner back an hour and half one evening.

This property is perfect for our extended family. Rain or shine it works fine for our preschool and early elementary school grandkids. There are lots of places for everyone to gather, as well as get away for quiet time. It’s also fun to go wine tasting nearby.

We hosted a yoga retreat at Langley Retreat Center. We all loved our stay, and our guests said their rooms were beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. They enjoyed their stay and the retreat, and asked us to host another one here. As hosts of this retreat, we only had positive experiences. Lara and her team made sure everything we needed was ready for us. She had all the yoga props we needed prepared. There is a beautiful space for 12 people to practice yoga. She answered all our questions in a timely manner. We will definitely be booking this beautiful home and retreat center again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Langley Retreat Center. We felt so at home - maybe even more rested and restored. The home was clean, fully stocked in the kitchen and living room, including yoga props. Some guests enjoyed the baby grand piano too. The rooms/beds were very comfortable. Excellent location close to the center of town and island exploration. We plan to rebook for another retreat weekend.
