Awesome fall stay
This place is located in a nice quiet neighborhood with wildlife. We saw fox and deer on the property. This place has everything you need to have an enjoyable stay. The property was just as advertised, especially the bedrooms were very nice for the 6 of us and the kitchen area was well stocked for cooking at home. Thank you for letting us stay at your place. I highly recommend this place if looking for a San Juan Island retreat.

Most quiet and peaceful place we've ever stayed!
Being a bit off the beaten path makes this home as peaceful and quiet as it is. I've never in my life stayed anywhere as quiet, and in the four days we spent at this home we only ventured out to Roche Harbor for a few hours, spending most of the time in the home relaxing and enjoying the peace. The home was well appointed and we didn't lack for anything. Susan is a wonderful communicator and is warm and friendly, and we even met her sweet husband when we were leaving as he was there to tidy up the outside of the property! I highly recommend this property for a quiet retreat away from the noise of "real life!"

Wooded neighborhood close to Roche Harbor
We had a great visit to Roche Harbor. The house is in a lovely wooded neighborhood and has a nice deck, living room and kitchen. Bathrooms are a little bit tired but overall we had a good stay and the property manager's communication/response to questions and feedback was amazingly quick and super friendly.

Wonderful Experience
We had a lovely time at your property. We spent time on the deck grilling out and eating dinner, we enjoyed the hammock and the corn hole toss, the kitchen was well stocked, and the accommodations were great. If the opportunity presented itself to come back to San Juan Island, we would certainly stay at the property again.

Relaxing Getaway
We loved the location of this property as it was a short walk through the woods to Roche Harbor. But the property is close to neighbors and voices do seem to carry, so one does have to be mindful of making too much noise out on the deck in the evening. The kitchen is well-stocked, so it made cooking very enjoyable. We saw several deer around the house and it was fun to listen to the symphony of bird sounds while swinging in the hammock. The extra bedrooms were a bit small, but otherwise, it was super comfortable and a lovely getaway!

Very comfortable house with a lovely deck. Really enjoyed the location- very close to Roche Harbor and easy drive to Friday Harbor. Quiet wooded neighborhood but water view and well away from the hubbub of the harbors. The island is Beautiful and we could have easily filled many more days. (We only had two). Susan was helpful and accommodating. We really appreciated her suggestions and advice.

Had a wonderful time over Memorial Day weekend, despite the cold and rainy weather. The beds were super comfortable. We did not want for anything. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked, which was super helpful since we cooked all our meals at the house. Great attention to detail with the ammenities in the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Five Day Deep Dive Into SJI
We have visited SJI many times over the years but never as comfortably as this trip staying in Susan's property near Roche Harbor. It is spacious, up to date and the cleanest by far. From the bathrooms to the kitchen, it was very well supplied with high quality items. We were so comfortable and appreciative of the thoughtfulness of the hosts. Thank you!
