Amazing View
The view was stunning. We saw porpoises and a harbor seal from the deck. The house could use a few repairs, but nothing major. The location is quite remote - great for quiet and privacy, but a little inconvenient for going places. Overall, we had a lovely time.

Beautiful View, Very Private
This property is listed as being in Olga. I see it was changed after we booked it. It's nowhere near Olga. That said, it was an enjoyable, comfortable place to vacation.

Summer family vacation
I would not stay here again. The house is in need of very deep clean. There were cobwebs and dust all over the pictures, wall hangings, and table tops upon arrival. It looked like it had been cleaned long before our arrival and then sat empty for quite some time. There were at least 8 spiders with webs just hanging out in various rooms and mouse droppings in the bottom cabinets of the kitchen. I called property management and she was very empathetic and sent someone to set mouse traps and clean the droppings. The house has a beautiful view but no good furniture to enjoy it on. I'd love to vacation on the island again but not at this house.

Absolutely outstanding views!!!
The cabin was beautiful and beds were very comfortable. The views from every window in the house were breathtaking. It was very private and very very quiet. we saw seals, otters, eagles and deer. In order to see whales we rented a 19 foot boat in Deer Harbor and went to Walden Island where we saw a small pod of orcas which was thrilling. The only downside to the cabin was that the written directions to the cabin were horrible. It’s a lot easier to get to than the directions indicate! We finally had to ask some neighbors where to find the cabin.

We'll be back
This place was magical! We are already talking about returning next year. The house is comfortable with a rustic feel. There was more than enough room for my partner, me, and a friend. The location was so special on a bluff about the water with a view across the sound to Mt. Rainier, it was hard for us to pry ourselves away to go do anything. The house feels remote; even though it is only 5 miles from town, it takes 15 minutes to get there because half of the route is on narrow, windy, unlit roads that turn to gravel near the end. While that might discourage some, for us it was a plus. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. We appreciated the individual heat controls in various parts of the house. The full size washer and dryer were good quality and helpful as we were on a longer trip and needed to do laundry. We love the place, but if I could get greedy and have it the way I want -- it might be time to upgrade the kitchen a bit with some better quality pots and pans. Also, leaving some basic condiments in the fridge/cupboard (ketchup, mustard, olive oil) would be helpful.

House with a great view
This house gave our family a lovely getaway for a week. It's a 15-minute drive from Eastsound, the main town on the Island. Important: Make sure to walk to the opposite end of Ringtail Lane to find the little path down to a small and charming beach.

Very Peaceful
My husband and I live on a peninsula across the water from the Seattle area. We have beautiful views of the city at night, the North Cascades and Mt. Rainier. We were, however, blown away by the views from the Cedar House. Surrounded by incredibly beautiful forest and water on the edge of a cliff, this property is amazing. We all needed a break from the stress of the past year of pandemic isolation. This was the perfect spot. Very clean, well equipped in every way with wonderful selection of books and DVDs. The owners have put a lot of thought into making sure their guests are well cared for.

Nice place
Comfortable, quiet and nice view, but wifi was unreliable and the trees dropped sap on our truck. These two factors were very disappointing and frustrating.

Restful with a Great View
Three story A frame on cliff above the sea with spectacular view. Great adult getaway! Found it to be clean and well supplied. Property was private with nice NW beach near. It was an ideal place for our father/son vacation and we hope to return.
