The lights went out!
We loved the house and the location. Perfect amount of space for us. The only issue we had was the house wasn't properly prepared for a power outage. There were some lanterns, but none of them worked. There were no spare batteries. Other than that, we had a great time and will definitely return.

Relaxing, beautiful getaway!
The home was exactly as pictured. Very clean and had just the right sized spaces. Looking out over the lake from every window was such a treat! It was absolutely breathtaking! We were able to take the little row boat out for a turn in the lake and it was fun seeing the families and people from other homes out there too! It was very relaxing to be so close to the lake and amazing to watch hawks diving for their dinner, fish jumping, bunnies and chipmunks and Douglas’ squirrels in the yard, and bats at night! Definitely want to stay there again! Our only complaint was that there was zero cell service. If we had had an emergency, I don’t know what we would have done.

A Wonderful Place!
This is a truly stunning home on a lovely lake. Beautifully decorated and super clean. It sits high up on a hill overlooking the lake through the trees. It's mostly very quiet as only electric motors are allowed on the lake. However there are many houses around the lake and a public access, and voices do travel. That said, I am super noise sensitive and I didn't have any problems with the noise levels. A huge plus is the property management company. They are very communicative and clearly take excellent care of the property. Plus there's a rowboat! I would return in a heartbeat.

Magical beautiful oasis
This is my second visit and I hope to have many more. It’s a wonderful place to recharge! The kitchen is well appointed and the house looks just like the photos- gorgeous! I enjoyed sitting on the dock and watching the birds. The house is not far from Langley, which is filled with cute shops and some great restaurants. Would recommend in a heartbeat!

Family and friends getaway
We visited this property with another family and both of us have young children. The master bedroom has a cutout that opens to the main living area and the master bedroom has no door. Other than those two oddities the property was well maintained and spectacular. The pictures do not do it justice. A very beautiful property.

My new favorite place
I never leave reviews but this might be the best vacation rental I've ever stayed in. Immaculately clean and comfortable, all of the supplies and amenities we needed, and the most gorgeous, private, restful setting. Loved the updated cabin feel and the casual, thrifty/chic feel of the decor.

Stunning Retreat
Pictures may not capture just how serene and beautiful the landscape surrounding this house is. The house, furniture & contents are of solid, quality materials. We found the bed & sofa to be very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen, with really good cookware & at least one mostly sharp knife (rare!). Overall, very clean. Although there were a couple of “ick” areas. But I suspect these were a random overlooked or not visible, due to very dim lighting in the kitchen. That said, this house is probably the closest to clean out of all the properties we’ve rented…and I’m very particular. One suggestion might be to install higher wattage/brighter bulbs in kitchen fixtures. I found it difficult to clean up after dinner so ended up waiting until morning to clean counters & stove top & each day.

Perfect lake house
I've had this house on my Whidbey Trip Board for a number of years, but hadn't stayed there because I thought it looked a bit funky in the photos. Wrong! Everything was perfect and upscale and the lake view and privacy were amazing. I'll be back!

Beautiful cozy respite
This home is In my top 5 stays. It’s beautiful, immaculate, well appointed and had a beautiful, calming energy about it. I spent the weekend watching birds on the deck with binoculars the host provided or curled up by the stove with a book. I slept in the upstairs bedroom and loved the view. I will be coming back for sure!

Ideal Whidbey Island Vacation!
A beautiful property on the edge of the lake surrounded by trees!!! What an incredible experience to wake up and fall asleep to a pair of neighboring eagles each day. It was spotless, check-in was seamless, and Whidbey Doughnut delivers to the door. A fantastic holiday spent in a spectacular home tucked away from it all. We even had a go at ping pong and it was a blast. Thank you so much we will certainly return. Happy New Year!

Amazing trip on Goss Lake
Goss Lake is a beautiful freshwater swimming & non-motorized boating lake on Whidbey island and this chalet has amazing views and access to the lake. The house is lovely and well appointed for VRBO guest. The wi-fi was a bit slow but I guess that's what you get for being on an island. Would absolutely stay again.
