There are few places better for a restful, no-worries retreat than Washington's Lopez Island, and this cabin provides the perfect home base as you explore the sleepiest of the San Juans. Great for kayakers and boaters, it's just a 10-minute walk to the Hunter Bay Public Boat Launch and Beach.
This quiet home for six is only eight miles from the small shops of Lopez Village, but the tree-covered surroundings provide a peaceful atmosphere. Little touches like the stone path leading to the cabin and a log-affixed basketball hoop out back provide the property with plenty of rustic charm.
Step inside and stroll past the laundry room to the living room at the end of the hall. There are carpeting and vaulted ceilings that are made from the same hardwood as the walls holding them up. From here, step outside to the deck to breathe in some fresh air, or lounge with your loved ones on the sectional sofa near the wood-burning fireplace.
The small loft upstairs provides a futon with a flatscreen cable TV, as well as a DVD player and library. Between these and the free WiFi (limited), you'll have plenty of entertainment options.
The kitchen is only a few steps away, with modern appliances, gorgeous wooden cabinets, and plenty of counterspace. Enjoy your meals at the breakfast bar seats for five, or head out to the deck for a barbecue in the open air!
Leave cleanup for the dishwasher and head off to bed. Two bedrooms, along with the futon in the upstairs loft, allow six guests to stay here. The master bedroom downstairs has a queen-size bed, with two double beds in the upstairs bedroom. Two full bathrooms let everyone start the day easily before heading out to explore!
The less populated south side of Lopez has a wealth of natural beauty just waiting to be explored. Watmough Head to the southeast is one of the island's best-kept secrets, with a short forest path that leads to a breathtaking bay surrounded by forests and rock formations.
The views are only rivaled by Iceberg Point to the southwest - the rocky terrain and waves crashing below provide dramatic scenery you don't often get the chance to experience in real life. Wherever you go, you're only a short drive from a delicious pastry at Holly's Bakery.
Place your reservation today and leave all your worries behind you with a truly relaxing Lopez Island getaway!

The house was cozy and provided a great location for our family Thanksgiving getaway. The location near the Hunter Bay boat ramp was a big plus--I brought our kayaks and went out every day we were up there!

Cute cottage in the Woods
We stayed one evening in this cottage. It was quaint with comfy beds, nice kitchen and good internet.
This cabin was a great time for our family. It was a little hard to find, but the overall experience at the location was one to recommend to others

Wood-stove was nice.
We got there on a chilly fall day, and the electric baseboard heaters were slow to warm, so we fired up the wood stove, and bam....instant cozy. Cabin was clean and well-stocked. It made a nice 'base-camp' for our island bike-tour getaway. Enjoyed our stay.

Charming and cozy
Cute place! Clean and good size. Nice wooded setting. Everything you need.
Great space for a family, cozy and plenty and amenities. Our 3 year old was particularly excited to discover an Arthur VHS :)
Our only complaint is that sound traveled really well through the house which made getting a 3 year old and 3 month old to sleep difficult….but that might have been hard no matter where we stayed.
Lopez island is so beautiful and our stay was too short

Delightful Family Space
This cabin is everything we were looking for. Comfortable and well-stocked. We loved the books, board games, basketball hoop, and movies. Enough outdoor space to play catch. A convenient, central location to all the activities we wanted to do. Ending the day with a cozy fire in the wood stove really was the cherry on top of a lovely visit.

Cabin experience but temper your expectations
If you want a secluded night in the cabin, this house delivers. But the furnishing is old, as are the electronics. The TV is super small (imp since there's not much to do in the area). Good wifi

Cute & Wooden
It was perfect for the three of us,(2a1k) but could work for a family of four easily. 2 bathrooms, washer/dryer, and space for us to "do our thing" respectfully. It's a dated home that was a nice change of pace. The VHS/DVD player gave us a chuckle. Plenty of books to read and games/puzzles to help pass the time. The neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors were nice. It was also nice to be away from everything on the island. It allowed us to appreciate all the farms on the island. 5 min walk to the pier for a beautiful view. Would stay again next time on Lopez.
A few friends and I spent the weekend at this cute cabin on Lopez! It was a ton of fun, the house was well stocked and ended up being a great bike trip from the ferry terminal. Hoping to one day come back!
It was a great homebase for us while we explored the island. We ate out most of the time so we didn't use the kitchen. It appeared to be stocked with anything you might need though. It was clean and comfortable. I'd stay again.
We enjoyed our 3 night stay at this cozy cabin in the woods. I would recommend this spot to others.

Family vacation
We loved our Chalet vacation! The house was spotlessly clean on our arrival. We loved the natural light through the skylights and windows and the lovely trees. It was very quiet and peaceful. We found everything we needed to cook dinner each night. We appreciated the reliable WiFi and the multiport USB charger. There were shelves and shelves of books, games and DVDs, and our kids had fun watching some classic cartoons on the retro VHS player! Thank you for a fun and relaxing vacation.

Is negative stars and option!?
This place is not as advertised. It is dark and there is no nature to look at just run down houses/sheds and trashy yards to look at on all sides. We did not stay! When inquired about the cleaning fee and host fee there was no conversation about a refund. Again we did not stay; place was clean enough minus trash in the yard. Very disappointing. Save your time and money.
We loved every minute of our time on Lopez Island. The property we stayed in was cozy, nestled in a nature setting. Very quiet area.
The only complaint we had, was most of the towels & wash cloths set out for us to use, and the ones in the closet were dirty. The sheets were not clean either. I had to rewash all of them before we could use them. I did leave a review for the VRBO team, but no one has contacted me regarding it. So, I advise you to look at the linens before you use them.
Property clean, well supplied with everyday needs W!!ish we could have a water view. We did not get info on where the key was before we left home and internet sevice. We were lodked out. No internet. We found an upstairs window open. Once in we had service and found the early morning email. day before notice
Place was not clean! We were left one piece of wood for a 4 day stay. Only two laundry pods for a 4 day stay. Called the staff the first day about lack of firewood, they said it says to bring your own. I looked for that after conversation and still couldn't find it. Dish washer still broken. Not all stovetop burners work.

Great location but property is tired
Three of us senior women stayed in April 2023. We were looking for an affordable property in the San Juan Islands and this one fit the bill. Overall, it was adequate for our needs. The location was good, beds were comfy, dining table afforded a place to both eat and play cards.
But the handrail going to the loft/bedroom area is rough and two of us ended up with splinters in our hands. The dishwasher soap dispenser still is broken (noted below in a 2021 review). When soap pods are put into the broken dispenser, the door closed and the water turned on, the soap dissolves and runs down the inside of the door, leaving a cement-like residue. Dishes are not getting clean.
LIght bulbs everywhere were burned out. We replaced as many as we could with the existing supply. The washer was full of damp sheets and the dryer was full of a gigantic load of sheets and towels. There was a hamper full of damp towels as well. We finished all that laundry during our stay so we could do our own before we checked out.
As mentioned by a previous reviewer, the upstairs is very warm. This might be helped if it were possible to use the ceiling fan on the first floor but there was no way to turn it on that we could find.
Another previous review mentioned the neighbor's unattractive yard which still exists but is tolerable since, at least, they were not noisy.
This house needs a thorough maintenance check and my noted repairs made. It's a good rental property and deserves to be taken better care of.

Lopez stay
The house worked OK for us, it is an older home and could use a little sprucing up but overall adequate. The setting and location were fine, loved the easy access to Island activities, hiking. Would recommend a through cleaning. I would like to give an overall rating of 3.5 but am going for 4.
