Peaceful Island Retreat with Water View

Peaceful island retreat with view of Mud Bay! Enjoy the forest, hiking, biking and fabulous sunsets on Lopez Island, part of the San Juan Islands!

Our home features 2 bedrooms and 1 bath with a nice large deck out front with large trees and views of the water through the trees. The 'kids' room has a full/twin bunk bed (140lbs max for top bunk) and another twin bed. The primary bedroom has a king bed. The place sleeps 6 people maximum per night.

Our family has been on the island since the early to mid 90’s after our BFF family friends moved to Lopez. We set up this delightful little cabin in the late 90’s and we have been visiting ever since! We recommend hiking at Glacier point, Agate Beach and around the Village.

Details of the Property: There is 1 Ring camera installed on the front of the building by the front door that faces the parking area. There are no other surveillance devices on the property. There are large swaths of forest on either side and it is very private. We have provided basic amenities such as toilet paper, dish soap and always fresh clean towels and sheets. We use "artificial fragrance free" detergent for those with sensitive skin or allergies. We make the place very comfortable for your stay. We have a full kitchen with essentially everything you need to make a great home cooked meal. We also have nice new pillows and sheets and we continue to upgrade items. There is a new wifi modem, and the fiber optic cables are currently being routed to this side of the island! As soon as that becomes available we will have Lightning fast speeds! WiFi internet is available. There is a smart TV with a nice sound bar and a nice sectional couch in the living room. Bolt lock at front door, exterior LED perimeter lights at night, and heaters work very well! We have a Bluetooth speaker here for you to use. The primary bedroom lamps have usb and usb-c plug ins.

Safety: There is a fire extinguisher under the kitchen sink and another in the primary bedroom near the book case. There is a first aid kit under the bathroom sink. Each window has 2 locks and a screen. Please undo both locks to open and then re-lock both locks again after usage. Please turn off all heaters and appliances, and lock the Bolt lock before leaving the home each time. Please also be sure to lock the sliding glass door.

We have done Thanksgiving as a family in the cabin, crabbing, gooey duck hunting, island hopping and Mt. Constitution hikes and more! Please reach out If you would like recommendations on exploring the area!

The Islander restaurant in the village has a pool table and pinball machine. Sometimes live music!

Isabella’s in the village has amazing Americanos and espresso, sometimes the taco truck is out front and they are delicious! There is also a pizza truck. The village has a more standard grocery store and also a higher end “natural” grocer. There is a skate park in the village as well. There is also a golf course on the island. Be sure to wave at locals on the road! Just a finger or 2 acknowledgement will do!

We recommend visiting the South Side market when coming in and out of Mud Bay Area for any snacks, ice cream, or last minute things that you need to complete a meal back at the cabin!

We have a property manager on the island who is very responsive and helpful. The cleaning fee is comprehensive and when you arrive it will have been professionally cleaned before your stay. Also, as an island community, all waste is brought to the dump by the cleaning crew after each guest. There are large bins outside the kitchen sliding door. Please contact the owner directly and we always do our best to resolve anything that may come up.
Enjoy!

Perfect for a quiet getaway
My partner and I stayed at the peaceful Island retreat for two nights. It was a perfect, secluded spot for a quiet island getaway. The house was well appointed and comfortable and communication with the host was seamless.

Not for us
There is nothing wrong with this house, but it's just not for us. It's very secluded and feels very cabin like. The furniture inside feels dated even though the owner mentioned recently purchasing it. My biggest issue with the house is that there are zero blinds anywhere! So even though you are in the woods, there are still neighbors and it would be nice to get dressed without giving everyone a show or sleep in without tons of light pouring in the windows.

Peaceful place in the woods
This was our first time on the island and our impression is that it is very friendly,not crowded, and you can get anywhere within 25 min. The house was quiet with a beautiful filtered view of the water and sunsets through the trees. It has a nice spacious floor plan with everything you would need. The beds were comfortable with plenty of towels. Check-in/out was simple and a binder to give you info on the island. Make sure you check out the market on Saturday 10-2, and be to the Lopez ferry at least an hour early or you may not get on if driving.

Good stay
Comfortable place. We were able to explore the island, including Iceberg Point which is very pretty. Inflatable mattress worked well for third kid. Need blackout curtains on windows, but other than that, comfortable, accommodating stay.

Relaxing Private Cabin
We had a wonderful stay over the long weekend! The cabin is very comfortable and clean with lots of privacy! We loved catching glimpses of the sunsets through the trees and listening to the breeze. Very nice kitchen with lots of room to prepare a nice meal! The only downside is the lack of curtains in the bedrooms - especially in the kids/second room. Hard to sleep in or have your little ones get to sleep without any way to block the light! Otherwise, no complaints! Would definitely recommend for those looking for a quiet getaway!

Bucket List Vacation
The quiet and secluded cabin was a perfect getaway and home base as we explored and enjoyed the San Juan Islands! It was clean, and the owner was responsive (she took the time to inform us of a planned power outage the next day). Highest recommendation and we hope to return soon!
