Tree House ~ Whidbey Island, WA

We invite you to experience a relaxing and rejuvenating 'Retreat' or Get-A-Way in our Tree Home Suite on Whidbey Island WA...just 1 hour north of Seattle. You'll surely transend the bustle of busy life and be transformed as you immerse yourselves in this incredibly peaceful and healing environment. Enjoy 'full-circle' views of rich woods in our 250 Sq ft Octagon Tree Home with a gorgeous cedar tree going straight up through the center of the living space! A solid stairway travels 13 ft above the ground, leading to the 10' x 12' covered deck and your doorway to heavenly rest and retreat! Surround windows and skylights in the roof peak allow you to feel what it's like to be completely immersed in a beautiful, serene, healing forest of cedar, fir, hemlock, maple, alders, varieties of fern...and oh...enjoy watching and listening to our 'resident' deer, owls, ravens, eagles and many other birds. Look up through the skylight roof peak to behold a seemingly unending kaleidoscope view of tree limbs circling their trunks as they reach high in the sky. Be sure to see all the photos posted above including views of the beach, water and stunning sunsets over the Olympic Mountains.....easily accessible, less than 1/2 mile away. This gem is best suitable for adults, but we do allow children 12 and older too. Three adults can manage better than 4 because the hide-a-bed is a 'half-way-between-twin-and-double' size. However it has slats and an excellent quality foam mattress so it does not have the typical hide-a-bed 'bars' to contend with, nor does it sink in the middle. We provide single-sized, thick and dense foam pads and linens when needed for extra people. Please feel free to ask us how we can best meet your unique needs. Accommodations in the Tree House include: Queen Bed, "Sort of" Double Hide-a-bed Sofa (see paragraph above), Desk, Dining Table, Free Wi-Fi, Smart TV and DVD player. Duckless heatpump for heating and air. The electric 'Fireplace' adds warmth and ambiance. We provide a fridge (with freezer), microwave, dishes and silverware for prep and eating simple meals, warmed up left-overs, etc. We just don't allow 'cooking', using hot plates or fry pans, etc.... The fire pit may be used to enjoy a campfire and grill or roast hamburgers, hotdogs and marshmallows. Substantial cooking here with your own cooking equipment is not encouraged because that would require more extensive 'clean-up' than just a few dishes and utensils Our drain field is small and we want to keep the flow of gray water into it 'frugal' and biodegradable as much as possible. Your own private (and VERY cute) Shower House just a few footsteps away provides a shower, sink and state-of-the-art, no-odor composting toilet. We do have a porta-potty (marine type) on the deck of the Tree House for the middle-of-the-night needs so you don't have to trudge down in the dark to the composting toilet in the Shower House. Please read the house rules before you reserve to see if this type of accommodation is right for you.

Whidbey Retreat| 5 mins Walking from Hiking Area

AshleyRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Our stay at this home was lovely. The home looked even nicer in person than in the pictures, and was fully of plants and fun decorations making it a very cozy space. There was ample seating for our nine guests and had spacious living areas for us all to comfortably spend time together in. The view from upstairs was beautiful, and the location quiet and peaceful. The house was clean and had everything we needed, and the host was proactive, responsive, and friendly. This place was perfect for our girls trip getaway, and we would happily stay here again in the future!

Sand Dollar House on Sunlight Beach, Whidbey

GaryRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Patti's place was charming. The beds were really comfortable and the linens great. The appliances in the kitchen were amazing, you could tell the cupboards are in the process of replacing but everything worked and there was everything we needed to cook. We had one day of beautiful weather for beachwalking and another day for storm watching and puzzle building. We really did enjoy everything.

Charming studio cabin with beautiful beach access

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a great stay in Rebecca’s Cabin. Clean, as pictured, amazing amenities (loved being able to do my laundry at the end of my trip and lighten the work to do when I got back home). Plus as seen in some of the photos there is a deer in the neighborhood and we saw it often leaving and getting back from the Airbnb. Beach access was great - it is a steep incline of stairs with no railing or paved path so walking down and all the way back up that is not for everyone but if your party can it’s convenient. Rebecca is a very communicative host, she has clear directions for every amenity in the house and a helpful binder of information as well. I would 100% recommend this Airbnb

A rustic metal sign featuring the text 'Welcome to the Cabin' is displayed against a backdrop of wooden shingles. The design includes small house illustrations, contributing to a warm and inviting entryway feel.

5-Star Modern Rustic Beach Cabin on Useless Bay

SarahRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Cozy, pleasantly rustic, not tourist-beach-kitsch cabin right on the beach, adjacent to a dog park. Minimalistic, but totally comfy, furnishings in the four rooms. Perfect size for a small family to gather and cook and play games inside, or beach comb just 25-50 yards out the back door. Our kids (12 & 9) and the dog spent hours exploring tide pools, building forts, digging up hunks of clay to make “dolls” out of, and they even tried to swim in between rain showers. From the living area, we watched a bald eagle soar overhead a blue heron while gulls dove headfirst for fish and robins pecked at worms in the yard. Two lil things to consider if staying: 1) if morning light bothers you, bring an eye mask; 2) the path from the back door to the beach requires some careful footwork to traverse an area of accumulated drift wood logs, but the parking lot is right next to the home with a clear, flat way to access the beach if mobility is a challenge.

We really enjoyed David’s house, which was clean, uncluttered, comfortable and beautiful, with beautiful views. David was very responsive with messages, and helpful with information about what might be happening in the area, and gave great suggestions for restaurants. Our vacation was even better than we’d planned because of David’s knowledgeable tips.
