Zero complaints about this property. This was our 6th year staying here. They have thought of every detail and amenity imaginable. From the stocked kitchen to outlets and charging ports where you need them, fans, ac, security etc. Fun and functional.

We had a great time at 7 cedars. The host is incredibly responsive. We needed parking for 5 cars at one point and the owner was very quick to respond and help us with a solution. The only thing I didn’t know was there are caretakers in the basement of the home and it wasn’t super clear when booking. They are very nice people, but it was a surprise to my family. The home is well stocked for everyone’s needs and we loved the deck and the view!!

Beautiful location and lovely home

We found everything we needed at this gorgeous spot on Lake Samish. It was the perfect location for my mom's 70th birthday. The house is very kid friendly with kayaks, life jackets, games and books. We spent everyday out on the lake and every night by the fire. I would definitely recommend this house to others in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Hall

The property was purchased in the early 60's by Palmer and Myrtle Bruland as a summer getaway for themselves and their 5 children. The house was finished in 1966. In 2015 it was converted to a year-round Vrbo with holidays and other dates reserved for the extended family. Over the decades we all have fond memories of play and laughter and expect to see the tradition continue through the coming generations.

Why they chose this property

Peace and tranquility describes what I find most appealing about the setting. Looking out over the shimmering lake simply can't be beat. There is a vast array of birds including resident bald eagles and cranes as well a beaver or two just down Friday Creek. A silky quiet kayak ride down the creek or bike round around the lake are special events we do most every time up in early summer. Taking the SUPs for an evening paddle is a favorite among all.

What makes this property unique

We offer amenities for all ages both for both inside and outside: games, cards, toys, train sets, cars, books, puzzles, dolls, horseshoes, beach toys, and the lawn game Kuub.

Because the house is owner maintained and not by an institutional service, the property feels more like a real lived in home because it is. We like sharp knives, a variety of seasoning, and decent pots and pans, just like you do.

We allow pets once vetted with a limit 2, which add to the convenience of bringing your fur babies on your travels. Additional charges apply for pets.
