Thank you for the kind comments. So glad you enjoyed the house. Jeanne
This is a beautiful home and yard filled with wonderful art. The owner is very communicative, responsive, and helpful. The home is filled with everything you could need, although sometimes it's a little hard to find things in the very full kitchen. The living room and dining areas are very comfortable. The house is designed for tall people, which can be a challenge for short people (especially downstairs bathroom sink and downstairs bedroom closet). The house could benefit from adding small handrails by the front and back door steps (for stairs-challenged people).
We absolutely loved this property! It was secluded, quiet and beautiful. There was hardly an item that we couldn't find in the home. Compared to other places we've stayed, well-stocked doesn't even begin to explain the amenities. Dishes, cookware, colander, utensils, trash bags, jackets. . . a little bit of everything! It really made being on an island not feel like we were limited on what was available to us. We didn't realize that the property owner was committed to low-scent/VOC use in the home until we got there and weren't overwhelmed by heavy artificial fragrances. This is a big deal for my family, and it made the stay way more enjoyable! Communication with the owner was also super easy and pleasant. We would absolutely re-book this home for a future trip!

Thank you for your lovely comments. I strive to make all my guests tripsJeanne special by exceeding their expectations. Lots of happy chefs, family time with Liberty puzzles, get wet shoes to borrow, jackets, insulated picnic bags, and a kitchen stocked with supplies like you would have at home.
The house was custom built to be low VOC and has HEPA filters and no fragrance cleaning supplies to help everyone breathe with ease. Come back and visit again, Jeanne
Very nice property and area. We loved how close the home is to all the sites and attractions. Owner was very responsive to the minor smoke detector issue we had and it was quickly resolved. We would stay again!
We had a lovely stay. The house was very nice, furnished, and very well equipped. We all loved the grounds and beautiful flower gardens along with all the art pieces in the house. We will definitely be back!
The house was great and in a beautiful setting - It was so quiet and peaceful. We'd definitely stay there again. Jeanne, the host, was great to work with and very responsive to any questions we had,
Conveniently located about 15 minutes from Friday harbor and Kiln lighthouse. Very quiet and relaxing home. Host was very nice and helpful. House was stocked with lots of dishes, pots, seasonings, blankets, towels, etc. It was the prefect place for a vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay. This was a quiet off the beaten path but only 10 minutes from downtown and the ferry. The house was well stocked, comfortable beds and very clean. It’s a beautiful property to just walk on and sit outside to enjoy, we did both. I would highly recommend. Jeanne is a responsive host and I appreciated her quick communications.
We stayed five nights and absolutely loved it! Spacious with great amenities. Quiet and fairly close to town. But everywhere is close to town on San Juan Island. We will be back!
Our family enjoyed the peaceful environment provided by the surroundings of this property. The home was well equipped for cooking and enjoying family time. We highly recommend this space.
The house was beautiful and very well appointed. The location was easy and right in the middle of the island. We all felt so welcome and right at home. We would love to come back again and again!
beautiful property, quiet and peaceful. Well stocked, everything you wanted was there. Property owner was very easy to get ahold of and great to work with. I would 100% stay here again!
It was amazing. Felt like I was in paradise. I was more peaceful than I’ve been in a long time. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone. I know thank you for everything.
A great house, well stocked kitchen. Close to Friday Harbor but in a quiet woods. A very nice primary bathroom. The frogs sang us a chorus each night. The trash cans were a bit confusing but that’s minor. We had a wonderful time here.

Don, Thanks for the review and so glad you and the family had a good time.
I appreciate your patience with the Opalco Coop overnight improvements work that happened one night of your visit.
Best, Jeanne
I was there with my three teenage children, and we had a great time and the house was absolutely great. We were sitting in the back and a deer with giant antlers, just sauntered by through the backyard as we sat there.
We truly enjoyed our stay at Jeanne’s lovely house in the woods. The walking paths throughout the property were wonderful and my 3 year old granddaughter loved her hikes! The house was spotless and had everything we needed and more!
