We gathered here with family from Alaska and Canada. This is such an inviting home with remarkably engaging views. The Skagit Bay alternates from mirror smooth blue-sky calm to windy, frothy squalls rolling in through Deception Pass. Gorgeous! We enjoyed herons, otters, gulls, Canada geese, crows, songbirds and smiling, puppy-walking beachcombers. Our stay has been peaceful and joyful (and eventful only in side-splitting family stories). We would recommend this day for anyone seeking quiet book-writing solitude or leisurely local exploring or energetic outdoor adventuring. We will happily return. J & L & M & P & F family
