Forest Front Home w/ Fire Pit, Mins to Beaches, Wineries | Cedarview Retreat
Welcome to Cedarview Retreat by AvantStay, a serene woodland escape tucked among the evergreens of Whidbey Island. Surrounded by lush forest and only minutes from Clinton’s ferry docks and the island’s scenic beaches, this home offers the perfect mix of privacy and easy access to the best of the Pacific Northwest. Explore local wineries, hike coastal trails, or wander through Langley’s boutique shops and cafés—all just a short drive away.
Inside, an open layout and vaulted windows bring in natural light and views of the trees. The inviting living room features a fireplace and comfortable seating, while the dining table for six sets the stage for shared meals. A large kitchen, stocked with all the essentials, makes cooking together a breeze. Folding tables and chairs allow you to easily create your own workspace, extra dining space, or even bring meals outdoors for alfresco moments under the trees.
Three bedrooms each offer a cozy queen bed, providing restful spaces for up to six guests. Two full bathrooms—one with a walk-in shower and the other with a shower/tub combo—make it easy for everyone to refresh after a day outdoors.
Step outside to your private deck, complete with a BBQ grill for alfresco dining. In the evenings, gather around the in-ground firepit for stargazing and stories under the trees. With a washer and dryer on hand, the home is equally suited for quick weekend escapes or longer getaways.
Whether you’re here for coastal adventures, quiet relaxation, or a mix of both, Cedarview Retreat is your perfect Whidbey Island hideaway.

The place was exactly as advertised and we had a wonderful time. The place is spacious, clean, and has lots of big windows for light. One bonus was a room on main floor and a bathroom next to it for our elderly mother in law who isn’t as mobile as she used to be.

It sounds like the property worked very well for your family, especially with the main-floor room and nearby bathroom for your mother-in-law. The spacious layout, cleanliness, and natural light seem to have made your stay comfortable and enjoyable.
Lovely house with great woodland surroundings. Lots of windows with natural light. Well stocked kitchen. Love the two bathrooms! A broom and dustpan would have been nice as it was very rainy when we stayed and it was easy to track debris into the house.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the home, the natural light, and the peaceful woodland setting—it really is a special place.
We also appreciate your feedback about having a broom and dustpan, especially during rainy weather. That’s a great suggestion, and we’ll share it with our team to help improve the guest experience.
We’d love to host you again for another relaxing stay!
