About this property

The Alpaca Retreat - Luxury farm house with water view!

Although all of the amenities you might need from town are 5 minutes away in Stanwood, the retreat is located on a corner of the island which seems like a world away. With no close neighbors or roads, the quiet at night will afford you restful respite. After a rejuvenating night’s sleep, wake up to the chattering of the bald eagles and soft humming of the alpacas.
The main living area opens onto two large decks perfect for barbecuing or gathering outside with spectacular views of Port Susan and Mount Rainier. A large grass lawn is bordered by beautiful gardens. The lower level of the house is perfect for the kids with two sets of bunk beds, a ping pong table, and lots of room to move about. Should you want to use this level for something else, the beds and table can be easily removed and replaced with tables and chairs or other furniture. An outdoor pickleball/basketball court will entertain for hours. If you are in the mood for a nature walk, we have a one-mile private forest trail just for our guests. It’s a great spot for bird watching and enjoying the energy of the forest.
• Located an hour’s drive north of Seattle.
• 20-minute drive from I-5.
• Located on the north end of the island, so while you will feel like you are in a remote location, you are only a 5-minute drive from Stanwood; there is no need to deal with island traffic.
• Camano Island affords the island experience without the hassle of a ferry.
• Shoe, smoke, and pet-free home.
• Only eco-friendly cleaning products are used in the house.
• Air conditioning.
• Free wi-fi.
• Ample parking.
• Completely renovated in 2018/19.
• Granite countertops, stainless appliances, furniture, and beds all newly purchased new in 2019.
• Gorgeous unobstructed view of Port Susan and Mount Rainier.

Excellent way to spend a celebration weekend!

My parents had their 60th wedding anniversary celebration on Camano Island and many friends and family stayed the weekend. My group of aunts and cousins got to stay on the Alpaca Farm and enjoy the welcoming space, expansive views, and talking to the sweet alpacas! The serenity was bliss! The hosts were very welcoming and the home was immaculate. It was a beautiful place to be! Thank you!

Wonderful Family Getaway (and ADA friendly too!)

We had a wonderful family time at this beautiful property. The house is fun for everyone and was very easy to access for our ADA access requiring grandfather. The kids really enjoyed the ping pong setup and everyone enjoyed the views and feeding the Alpacas! Thank you for offering this great property!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Byram

We have been raising award-winning alpacas on Camano Island since 1997 and love to share our farm and passion with others. We are avid travelers; in 2015 we reduced our alpaca herd and along with our triplet children journeyed over 35,000 miles by road from the southern tip of South America back to the farm on Camano Island. What made this experience life-changing was the people we connected with along the way.
