About this house rental
Welcome to the beautifully appointed Skagit River Farmhouse. The perfect stand-alone destination, or home base for all of your Pacific Northwest adventures. The Skagit River connects the majestic cascade mountains to fertile farm fields and the Salish Sea...and it runs along the back side of the property!
Our 3600sq. ft. home is carefully designed with guests in mind. Large enough for everyone to be comfortable, while maintaining the cozy feel of a home away from home.
If a quiet riverside retreat is what you’re after, a hop and skip over the levee to our private riverside meadow will fill your heart with joy. A walk along the river with coffee or tea in hand is the perfect beginning or end to any day, as the trail atop the levee winds its way along the river past picturesque farm fields with the cascade mountains as a backdrop all the way to downtown Mount Vernon.
Forest- If the mountains call, you’re about halfway from Seattle to Mt. Baker, and just 2 minutes from the North cascades highway, the gateway to the American Alps. The Skagit River Farmhouse makes a perfect home base for weeks worth of breathtaking day hikes or skii/snowboarding trips followed by an evening soak in the hot tub under the stars, and a great night's sleep in our comfy new beds and linens.
FIELD -The farmhouse is located in the heart of the Skagit River Valley, home to some of the most beautiful and fertile fields in the Pacific Northwest. You can visit daffodil and tulip fields in spring, many family owned vegetable, berry, or flower farms in the summer months, pumpkin patches and cideries in Autumn, and the world renown fields full of snow geese and trumpeter swans in winter.
SEA - In addition to floating the river (there is a put-in a few miles north of the farmhouse), the house is also just 20 minutes from Anacortes, the small seaside town from which you can catch a ferry to the stunning San Juan islands or a whale watching charter if you're so inclined. If beach walks are what you’re after, explore all 7 of the state parks bordered by the Salish sea, home to orcas, sea birds, pacific salmon, and abundant sea life, all within 10-40 minutes of the house.
Farmhouse layout:
Main floor:
Sea bedroom, Livingroom w/ gas fireplace, office/exercise room, kitchen, dining room, full bath, laundry room. (outside: hot tub, partially covered deck, gas BBQ, patio seating)
Second floor:
Field Suite (queen bed) w/ soaking tub and rain shower. Woodland creatures bedroom (2 twin beds) Forest bedroom (one queen bed), second living room (outside: small deck w/ seating for two off the living area)
Third floor:
Open concept room with three twin beds on one side and a family seating area stocked with books and board games and shuffleboard on the other.
We hope to see you soon at the Skagit river Farmhouse!

Amazing home, close proximity to our son’s wedding venue! Extremely clean, very comfortable and has every amenity you could ever need. Fantastic property owners that ensure your stay is absolutely perfect!! Will definitely stay there again in the future.
5.0 / 5.0
The house was beautiful, both inside and out. We loved that it was so spacious… so many beds and rooms available for our three families (6 adults and 6 kids). The kitchen was fully stocked - think high-end appliances, Hexclad pots and pans, kids and adult dishware and cutlery, coffee maker AND ground coffee - and it felt like home. We really appreciated the central air conditioning, play room with games and books on the 3rd floor, and hot tub (with extra towels).
Julie was quick to reply to our questions at all times of the day, and we even got to meet her and her husband in person. They were very kind, helpful with suggestions/recommendations, and quick to ensure we had no concerns at all.
Overall we had a wonderful stay and made many memories with our friends. This home is close to the Skagit River (one friend enjoyed early morning runs along the river trail), as well as Costco and Target (about 10-15 mins away). We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!

We loved our stay in this beautiful home! It was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host went out of her way to make sure we had all of the information we needed for a smooth check in. I highly recommend staying here if you’re in Mt. Vernon!

I travel with a group of adult women, and we have book reading staycations. Julie's home was pretty much everything we'd hoped it would be. The location is lovely, the check-in process and communication with the owner was a dream. Property instructions and check-out procedures were also great! The kitchen is spacious and well stocked, the downstairs bedroom needs some light-blocking curtains. The primary on the second floor is spacious and the bathroom is huge, it's only a little strange that there's not a King bed in there instead of a Queen. The other Queen room on the second floor and the bathroom were great. The third bedroom on the second floor was pictured to have a bunk bed with a double on the bottom and a twin on top, but instead had two twins, which was a little bit of a disappointment. The living room area on the second floor is super comfy, it only needs a few more side tables for beverages when you're tucked in to read or watch movies. The third floor space is HUGE and comfy. Outdoor spaces were lovely and kept clean. The hot tub was a hit. Overall, it was a really lovely 3-night staycation weekend.

This house was absolutely perfect for our family. It was the most well stocked with everything you could wish for cooking for a large group. There was plenty of space to spread out and lots of games to keep us busy when we weren’t out hiking. Highly recommend!!

We loved the property! Our family stayed here for our daughter's wedding at the Saltbox Barn. It was a great location, easily accessible and a perfect choice for our family. Comfy beds, awesome master suite and plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen is fabulous. Enjoyed relaxing on the deck. Julie was great to work with and responded quickly when we ask questions! Would definately recommend this property!

This Mt Vernon home was the perfect place for our family to get together for the first time. Plenty of space to spread out, great outdoor places, close to what you might need without feeling like you are in town. Hosts were wonderful, respectful of our privacy, and quickly responsive to our questions.

We had a lovely girls weekend celebrating my grandmother’s birthday. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to make ourselves at home. The queen beds were very comfortable but the ladies who slept in the twin beds wished they were more firm, so plan accordingly! The bedding on all the beds was very cozy. There were plenty of towels for the hot tub and showering along with a nice selection of spices for cooking. The house is beautiful with so many great touches. Thank you!

Visited with family and it was very comfortable with plenty of areas to convene. Close to town center but felt private

What a beautiful house, wow. Perfect for multiple families, esp if kids don't need to sleep in the same room as parents. There are two spaces for kids, a bedroom with 2 twin beds and a loft with three twin beds. Lots of room so you aren't on top of eachother and the finishes are gorgeous. Also, the location is around 5 minutes from town and 20 minutes from other towns like La Conner and Anacortes so day trips are very easy.

Perfect place for our immediate family to gather in one place. The ability to walk along the River just outside the door allowed our 4 year old twins to burn off steam. The house was well stocked with books games TV’s. The kitchen had everything we needed.
Fingers crossed that we were good stewards of this beautiful home and the Roses will welcome us back soon.

This was an amazing house for the 7 of us high school classmates. It was large enough with many beds and bathrooms to accommodate all of us. The house is immaculate and super comfortable. It couldn’t have been any better. The owners were extremely nice and accommodating for us if we had any questions. I would highly recommend this. The surrounding area is also beautiful.

We stayed here with a group of friends for a local event. It gave us so much space, each of the 3 groups had their own private spaces, while the common areas were plenty big enough to accommodate us all when we came together. The home was easily accessible from a variety of local places we visited which made it even better for a group with different needs at different times.
We would definitely book again and already recommended this place to someone. All amenities were amazing. Host was quickly responsive for a little need and communication was thorough before arrival. Can't say enough about how perfectly this place worked for our group.

Great home. Host is very responsive. Gave some great ideas for restaurants, things to see and do. Home is beautiful, immaculate! Quiet area! Just 20-25 minutes to the San Juan Islands ferry. Would definitely stay here again.

James and Julie's Skagit River Farmhouse is perfect in every way! The house is absolutely beautiful, warm, inviting, clean, and has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. We chose this house because of it's close proximity to our son's wedding venue, Vanderveen Farms, and because it seemed like the ideal house for our multi-generational family to stay in for the wedding events. We could not have been more happy with our choice and highly recommend it to others! Thank you for sharing your beautiful farmhouse with us, James and Julie!

This house was absolutely perfect for what we needed! It was super clean with a large kitchen, laundry, open space for catching up and private spaces for alone time. The whole process from booking to leaving was easy. I highly recommend for a fun place in the country, but not far from activities.

Property is in good shape with a great Kitchen area. Bedrooms and bathrooms are nice and clean. Everything works.
The photos online are deceptive in that you cannot see the river or access it due to a high retaining wall on the banks.
Instructions to check in and out were very clear although VRBO site is very limiting in that you have to constantly log in to see your info and cannot download instructions.

First trip back to our hometown since 2019 and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. The house is wonderful and we especially enjoyed several meals in the big kitchen, including an early Easter feast with extended family. Everything was as advertised and we will definitely stay here again.

We rented this home with another family for a few nights for New Year's Eve and it was wonderful. It was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The owner had great communication, the home was well-stocked, all check-in/check-out instructions were clear and easy to follow. We loved walking along the river, playing shuffleboard, and daytripping into Bellingham. We'll definitely be back!
