Awesome...Awesome...Awesome!!! Everything about my stay was awesome. Malu was the BEST host that I have had, Ever! She was always available if needed and always quick to reply to my text. Her home was perfect, newly renovated, very tastefully decorated and well equipped for my extended stay. The mattresses were the most comfortable if have ever slept on. The Jacuzzi was very relaxing and great to wind down in after a long day of work or site seeing. The views were breathtaking and her pictures do not do them justice. I even saw bald eagles on a few different occasions. Deception Pass is less than five minutes away and a must see. If you like hiking or just enjoy nature on a casual walk around Cornet Bay, this is the place to be. I truly felt at home while staying here and it will always be my first choice if it is available.

I really enjoyed my visit to the Cornet Bay house. I was welcomed by Terrill's mom, who is very friendly and detail oriented. She's lovely! The house is very well organized, well furnished and equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. Bed linens and towels were all of high quality and plentiful. The garden was lovely too - and it was completely fenced in, which was great for the dogs who were able to explore. The setting was beautiful, across the street from the marina and water. Overall I would highly recommend this place.

Terrill responds quickly. Whenever you have a question for him, he replies within 10 min or even less. Terrill's mom Mimi is the best host we have ever met. She welcomed us the minute we arrived. She was so gracious that she allowed us to use fresh vegetables in the yard. She even took us to clam digging and helped us to clean the clams. The house is very kid friendly. My five year old son had a great time. I highly recommend this place. Thank you a lot Mimi! Max said Hi to you. We will visit you again :)

Great place to stay near deception pass!!! We brought our boat and moored it right across the street in Cornet bay marina. Great way to experience the area. The hosts were very gracious, leaving us with fresh veggies from the garden as well as eggs from the coupe. Our boys and the dog made use of the yard and the apple trees for snacks and running out their energy. It was really nice to know they were in a fully fenced yard as they are pretty young. The first morning my buddy and I ran the boat out to San Juan Island for some salmon fishing and found a large pod of Orca whales, at least twenty or more. We returned to an amazing fresh egg omelet with bacon and veggies. Next we loaded up the kids to drop some crab pots, do some island adventuring, and run the boat to La Conner. We enjoyed a lunch in La Conner and the ladies did some shopping in the little tourist town. On the way back we pulled our pots, putting away our limit of keepers, and headed for the house to start our crab feed. This is some of the best the PNW has to offer, what a great weekend!!!!

This house has an awesome location right across from the water and minutes away from Deception Pass. It was lovely to wake up to views of the bay and an occasional deer wandering through. The house was exactly as advertised and came fully stocked — games and movies in the living room, clean linens in the bedroom, fresh eggs and bottled water in the fridge!

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with nothing but hospitality. The accommodations were over and beyond what was expected. The fresh vegetables, fruit, and spices in the backyard were a plus as we bbq'd using the freshest ingredients. Waking up in the morning to waterfront views was a relaxation like no other. Unsure why anyone would want to stay in a hotel after spending the past few days here. It felt like we were staying with family. I highly recommend this for a home-away from home and we will definitely make a trip back here as soon as we possibly can.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Cornet Bay. We, a couple from San Francisco and a couple from Camano Island, had a great time at "the cabin". We went primarily to go shrimping and had great luck! We had two other couple join us for a number of shrimp based meals... The cabin was perfect for two couple and some entertaining. The place was very well stocked and quite comfortable. We also appreciated the cleanliness! Mimi was a perfect host, very informative and welcoming. We definitely plan on returning!!!

We had an amazing stay in this house! Everything was absolutely perfect. The location was gorgeous. The bay was right across the street, and we loved enjoying tea and coffee in the covered patio with that gorgeous view. The house has everything that one can think of - lots of bedding, toiletries, games, dvds, pots and pans. We were greeted by Terrill's mom on arrival, and she was such a warm and kind person; she made us feel at home right away. She gave us a tour of the house and the beautiful yard and garden and encouraged us to utilize everything in the best possible manner. She was really sweet and also stocked the fridge with fresh eggs and bottled water which came in really handy. The house was perfectly clean too. We were four adults and a baby and the space was perfect for us. The house is also really close to the deception pass bridge; lots of beautiful walks and trails and things to do around. Loved the trees in the garden, the swings, the hammocks. You can see so much attention to detail in every little thing; we couldn't have asked for more. Would stay here again in a heartbeat anytime we want to visit again.

I can't imagine a better place to stay while visiting Deception Pass. The house has everything you need and is just as described. A big bonus for dog owners....a completely secure, very large fenced in yard. Just let pooch out the back door to entertain himself (or herself) without worries of an escape(URL HIDDEN)This was a terrific visit right from the start. Mimi was waiting for us and gave us the grand tour on our arrival. She is a very nice and friendly woman and it was a pleasure to meet her. She had been fishing that day and left us a beautiful freshly caught (and cooked) Dungeness crab. Thank you again Mimi...what a wonderful treat to start off our little mini-vacation. Most all the praise has already been given by other reviewers so I won't repeat it but, I will mention that sitting on the covered front porch watching the rain ((URL HIDDEN) sometimes rains in the Pacific NW) with wildlife all around you while sharing a glass of wine with your partner is an experience that will certainly last in your memory forever. Deception Pass State Park is magnificent with seemingly endless trails from easy to tough and wonderful views around every bend. The park is a must see and the home is a must stay. I hope this home remains available for a long time on airbnb...I'm sure we will be back!

Mark's place is truly special! I'm so grateful I was able to stay there two nights during a busy time of year. If anything, the photos don't do the retreat justice. I was in heaven the moment I walked in the door. It's nice to feel at home on the road. And that's what Mark's place is. Thank you!

My stay at Mark and Teru's Deception Pass Retreat was amazing! When it comes to soothing one's soul, the cabin was just what the doctor ordered and then some. A truly magical escape that makes you feel like you're in another world. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in staying in or around Anacortes.

Mark and Teru were beyond accommodating. I cannot say enough nice things about them. The property was amazing!

Mark's guest house is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. It was perfect for the husband, dog, and myself to use as a "home base" to adventure and explore the area. I lost track of how many miles we hiked everyday. Being able to come back and relax in such a quiet and cozy place was very welcome. The amount of state parks, beaches, and trails on Fidalgo and Whidbey Islands is amazing. Mark's house is very conveniently located between Anacortes and Oak Harbor. (This is coming from someone who has to drive 18 miles for groceries, etc., so for us, it felt great to pop into Anacortes for morning coffee and pastries. :) There are plenty of different shops and restaurants. We never ran out of things to do, even when the weather stopped cooperating one afternoon, with some wind and rain. I just wish we had brought the paddleboards; all those little islands everywhere, just tortured the explorer in me.

The location is superb. We were very comfortable in a beautiful and special environment. A great northwest experience and our hosts were welcoming and fun to meet!

Mark and his wife were both very welcoming and solicitous. The apartment was lovely. Mark was very easy to contact and his information was good. I seemed to have trouble finding the turn-off coming up from Deception pass, so look at your landmarks carefully; the road sign is not easy to see. Though Mark's directions are good, I did not look at my odometer every time and overshot a few times, feeling goofier each time. He was also very accommodating to our somewhat unpredictable arrival time (though he may not appreciate my saying that publically!) I did not read the description well enough, so thought I had more kitchen to work with. So just be aware that it is a coffee, tea, keep cold and/or reheat sort of affair there. The view off the porch is nothing short of spectacular. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom excellent. I hope to have a reason to stay there again.

We had a wonderful experience in Mark and Teru's cabin: they are thoughtful and friendly, and the place is great!

Mark's guest house is in a beautiful location with a wonderful view of the hills and water. It feels very remote though is easy to find. The guest house itself is beautifully designed with comfortable furnishings (a great bed), great light, open, spacious, and very relaxing and aesthetically pleasing. Covered porch & deck on two sides give lots of opportunity to sit outside and enjoy the surrounding natural environment, no matter the weather. Mark was readily available, if needed, and very gracious. There are lots of hiking trails and opportunities to explore a short drive away. We were not there long enough to explore down the long entry lane, but that seemed like a good walk right from the house. Being prepared for a limited kitchen with simple or already prepared food for the microwave and small refrigerator allowed us to enjoy breakfasts and a dinner on site. This is a very nice place from which to explore the area or to just get away from it all.

Nancy was great. Cabin was great!

What a great location and an amazing get away! Nancy was so prompt in answering any questions. The space was clean, comfortable, and beautiful! Highest recommendations!

My husband, myself, and another couple had an absolutely wonderful time staying at this sweet red cozy cabin. I think it may be one of our favorite rentals so far. The minute you walk up to it and into the door you feel the nostalgic of it. The location of the cabin is perfect, close to Oak Harbor where you can get anything you may need and just outside the doors of Deception Pass State Park, which has so many wonderful outdoor activities to take part in. It's location is perfect for heading out to many day trips also. You do hear the Navy jets at times, but when they gone, it is incredibly quiet and private. The deer will meander by as you are watching a beautiful sunset from your window or sitting on the deck and looking out over the Puget Sound. Inside you will find everything you need. Loved the kitchen and it is stocked well. The large bedroom is wonderful with a very comfy queen bed and beautiful bathroom. The smaller bedroom is great for kids, but we as adults fit fine in there too. Having the extra small bathroom with that was very nice. We enjoyed the living room with it's cozy fireplace and amazing view of the Puget Sound from the large window. And we LOVED the logs everywhere. Nancy and Roy have worked very hard on this little cabin to make it accommodating, clean, and beautiful! The communication with Nancy was great. She was prompt and I believe would do anything to make our stay comfortable. Thanks again Nancy and Roy!! We would not hesitate to stay in your sweet cozy red cabin again! As I said, it was one of our favorite rentals with airbnb.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cozy little cabin. It was perfect for our family. It was close to Deception Pass State Park so we could go for a short hike, close to Oak Harbor for restaurants and it was very comfortable and homey. It's a new rental but it's clear that the owners have put a lot of thought and care into outfitting the cabin. The host was very good at communicating and I would highly recommend the cabin.

We loved loved loved this little gem !!! It was packed full of warmth and lots of charm!! We will definitely be back soon!! :D

The cabin was a very peaceful, comfortable place to stay during our Tulip Festival visit! It was really spacious, had everything we needed to cook dinner, and it was so relaxing to look at the water in the distance. I would love to stay again.

The cabin was ready and welcoming. Much more pleasant than a hotel and we were able to have quality family time. All the amenities we needed. Great location

Great place to stay at and very close to deception pass and the blue fox drive in movie theater. Would recommend to anyone.

The host canceled this reservation 30 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I was in town running the whidbey island marathon and this place was a gem! The hosts were very accommodating and had some delicious snacks for me upon arrival. The views are lovely and the apartment was cozy and had everything I needed. Would love to visit again!

Robin's BnB is fantastic. A wonder and peaceful spot. We were pleasantly surprised by the views and the tranquility. Well worth the price!

Already recommending this location to friends and family. Amazing weekend on the water!

We had a very peaceful and relaxing weekend at Robin's place! The apartment is clean, comfortable and cozy, with a view of the water that can't be beat. The rural neighborhood is very quiet--just what we hoped for. Robin greeted us warmly and was a wonderful host. We had a lovely stay and hope we can return soon!

This was an awesome cabin! Very clean and wonderful location Will stay here again my next visit if it's available!

A really nice and spacious cabin with a great view of the lake. Anna was very attentive and quick to answer our messages.

Anna's cabin was amazing and perfect for our family of 4. She knew we had 2 toddlers coming with us and set out toys for them upon our arrival which was so exciting for them. We walked all around the property and saw lots of deer and rabbits which the kids loved. The view of the lake from the deck was awesome. This was a great place and we can't wait to return!

My husband and I stayed in the cabin for an overnight "get away." It was perfect--from the view to the thoughtful furnishings and supplies.

Wow! Just wow! The view is absolutely spectacular! And the adorable cabin - that has every possible amenity and is comfortable and cozy to boot - is perched on a very high bluff right on the edge so I felt like I was flying! This was my treat for my 73rd birthday, and it was just what I had hoped. I spent most of my time just watching the light change and the sunset and the sunrise and deciding how I want to spend the next 73 years... I'm coming back next month for the Anacortes open studio tour and will be staying another delicious night. I have an Airbnb, too, on Whidbey Island, and I know what it takes – and the gracious and helpful John and Libby have provided it all (with a little help from mother nature!)

Perfect getaway spot with a friendly host! The cabin was clean and comfortable, and Libby was thoughtful to have delicious baked treats waiting for us upon check in. To echo the other reviews - the view is absolutely stunning. The cabin is also conveniently located, making for just a short drive to nearby parks and restaurants. My friend and I also appreciated the notebook of restaurant suggestions as it's always great to get recommendations from a local. Hope to visit again soon!

We had a most amazing stay at Libby's cabin!!! The view was absolutely incredible and we got so lucky with the weather, we were able to enjoy coffee out on the deck taking it all in. Libby is a fantastic host ensuring the cabin was clean and had everything we could have needed or wanted. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!

la place de Libby était parfait - propre, confortable et a une belle vue. Des détails comme des muffins et des biscuits à l'arrivée, des jumelles pour observer la faune et les oiseaux-mouches à l'extérieur fait très spécial.

A lovely, well-appointed, well-designed little getaway up on a bluff with a fabulous view of the water and wonderful sunsets. Very clean, very attractive, very comfy, a wonderful shower and reasonably priced. Delicious treats welcomed us when we arrived. There is really not much more you can ask for!

WE stayed in 3 different AIRBNB'S this time, all 3 were unique butni loved this one best. Felt I was staying in a Friend's cottage! Wonderful view!! wish I ciould have stayed longer. Libby was next door and we met at arrival BUT no time to talk more. Homemade TREATS: f rom cookies to granolawere great!

Hi Libby, Joan & I truly enjoyed our stay and the opportunity to visit with you and John, a great 1st Airbnb experience. Thanks again for your hospitality, Jim & Joan P.S. The treats were fantastic!!!

This was our first experience with Airbnb and the Olga house worked out just fine for what we were looking for. The host, Julie, was extremely quick at making sure we knew all the particulars of the house and that we were settled in ok. The house is in a beautiful wooded area and really the pictures do not do it justice. It is not a new house and you can see that it needs some tlc in places but we were looking for an alternative to more costly hotels on the islands. This place more than met our expectations. We would not hesitate to request another stay in the future.

Wonderful place in the woods, we had a great stay

Our stay here was absolutely wonderful! The house is beyond gorgeous and well equipped with the basic amenities, entertainment, books and board games. The kitchen was fully stocked with various spices, condiments, and other items that were available to us as well, thanks to our gracious host. The house was clean, spacious and the fire pit on the patio was also a very nice added touch; the wood was also already cut up and ready for us to use. Great host and great house, my family and I really enjoyed our night here! Would definitely recommend this place!

Julie was there when we arrived and gave us a wonderful tour of the house. We felt welcomed the moment we walked in. The house is beautiful and very dog friendly. The location was perfectly nestled between Anacortes and Deception Pass. I would love to come back again and will highly recommend it to my family and friends.

The Olga house was just beautiful! The photos didn't do it justice. The location was perfect, only about 10 min from town. Still had wifi though, even with the wilderness feel! The house was very clean and our host, Julie responded promptly to all of our questions. Only stayed for one brief night but it was well worth it and would recommend to any group of 3 or more! Thanks again for the great experience, our stay was perfect!

Very close to town , nice private location, all the comforts of home

What an amazing vacation we had in Northwest Washington, due in no small part to our fantastic accommodations. Couldn't have felt more at home - the space was lovely, location perfect and Julie went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed (including bringing over a coffee grinder after we had noticed there was a french press and couldn't find one - turns out it had broken. Totally above and beyond!). The space was exactly as described in the listing, in a perfect location convenient to tons of outdoor activities. Highly recommend this property if you're considering a trip to the area.

Julie was a wonderful host: she brought us firewood, promptly answered our questions about where to eat locally, and was generally very pleasant to work with. The Olga house is a pleasant retreat in the woods near Anacortes. It is a great staging ground for families wanting to visit the San Juan Islands but not pay an arm and a leg for lodging each night. The house is on the older side (two entire rooms did not have functional electrical outlets, water heater very quickly ran out of hot water, no potable water so you had to bring your own water bottles) but was generally very serviceable as a place to wash up and sleep. The downstairs rooms are not very warm so be sure to bring extra blankets or a sleeping bag. The outdoor deck has a metal fire bowl that is fantastic for making fires and smores. Julie was very nice and brought us fresh firewood to use. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, and utensils. Overall, Olga house is a great place to stay if you're looking for a staging place while taking day trips to the San Juan Islands. Just bring extra water, blankets, and some extension cords!
