Studio with Bath and Kitchenette
Hannah's studio was a wonderful place to stay. The surroundings are peaceful and beautiful. The studio has its own patio and I spent most of my time sitting there enjoying the views. Everything about the place exceeded my expectations. Hannah even gave me a review on how to use a drop spindle in her little spinning/weaving studio. I plan to come back with my husband this summer!

Twin Palms at Forbidden Island Motor Lodge
The Twin Palms at Forbidden Island Motor Lodge is beyond cool. The mid century mod vibes were so rad, from the decor to the layout. The location is easily walkable to the local restaurants and the ferry. Comfy bed, private soaking tub outside and the fire pit were great after a long day of exploring the island. Like a private groovy sanctuary. It was like being transported to the 60s in the best possible way. I was only sorry I didn’t bring a caftan. Can’t wait to come back and see how the entire property develops. Jason has a vision and it’s got fabulous potential for an entire resort.

Sea Forever Guest House (#PPRPVO-12-0033)
We very much enjoyed our stay at Linda and Brad’s cottage. It was the perfect place for a weekend get-away. The directions to get to the cabin were wonderfully specific and it was so nice of Linda to send us a reminder to book ferry reservations well before our stay (seriously, don’t wait!). While the cottage was next to the house, the huge windows overlook the water and you have complete privacy. The kitchen is very well-stocked and we particularly enjoyed the local coffee beans that were available. We also very much enjoyed sating “hi” to Toby (their dog) every time we left and returned to the cottage. Orcas island was great for a relaxing weekend away! We were able to enjoy a few hikes, and some good food. Cannot recommend the breakfast burrito from Cafe Aurora in Eastsound enough - one of the top five best things I have ever eaten. We may have to plan a trip back just to get that burrito again! Big thanks to Linda, Brad, Blue, and Toby for hosting us.

Lake Escape: Hot Tub & Sauna, Kayaks & Dock
Julias airbnb on the lake was absolutely beautiful, and it was the perfect peaceful, weekend get away! Awesome location, awesome home, and an awesome host! I would definitely stay here again!

Ship Supply Cottage Lopez Village
We visited Lopez Island for a quick weekend away and are so happy we chose Linnea’s place. The house was very charming and included everything we need while there. Its location was perfect (right in the heart of the village so we could easily walk to restaurants and shops). Also, the bed upstairs that we slept in was VERY comfy. Highly recommend. Thank you, Linnea!

Relaxing retreat with Hot Tub close to everything
We had a lovely time--the location was great and the stay was exactly as advertised. A comfortable home to come back to after a day of adventures on the island!

Romantic Waterfront Escape with Private Beach
We liked the condo and location very much. Very peaceful, quiet and private, the unit is well maintained, and everything we used worked. Kitchen was great, we used it for breakfast everyday. Hardly anyone walking the beach during our stay, and it was relaxing watching the tide come in and out, with the lights from Canada at the distance. A place to stay if you're after a quiet, relaxing vacation. The restaurant at the nearby resort is a very short walk away, and pretty good even with the short menu, as their main kitchen is closed for renovation.

Peaceful two bedroom with hot tub forest suite
It's a beautiful AirBnB with a great location (the waterfall is 100 feet from the door). The owner lives on site and is very responsive. We felt right at home.

The Bay Retreat - Steps From Beach, Clubhouse Pool
we had a great time. super easy directions and check in, condo was clean and had plenty of space for the 6 of us. nice patio, great location. hope to stay there again in the future!

Cozy 2bd home on waterfront with hot tub
Absolutely beautiful place. Emmie was amazing and accommodating. I highly recommend! You will not regret it!

Rustic Cultus Lake 3 Bedroom & Loft Family Cabin
The place was exactly as described. Because the hosts regularly use the place for themselves, there was a lot of additional comforts that made it very livable. For example, the kitchen is very well stocked, the knives are sharp, there are lots of towels to use, and the backyard is a great extension of the living space. The location is central and private and everything is simple and easy to use (fireplaces, BBQ, hot tub, tv, music etc). Beds are comfortable enough and the outdoor space is great! There is a big outdoor dining table, outdoor lounge chairs for the firepit, and an awesome little covered outdoor living room with an additional firepit and TV. The shower and bathroom is really nice too! The communication with the hosts was not the most welcoming. They were concerned about the purpose of our trip and even went as far as to say that it is "not normal" for a group of 7 long-term friends to stay at Cultus lake. Hopefully they can show guests more trust in the future.

Cedar Cabin, Hot Tub, BBQ, WiFi, Deck
We had a great time at Scott’s place. It was the perfect accommodation for a weekend of snowboarding at Mt. Baker. Some highlights were; the hot tub after a day on the mountain, the game cube which had Mario cart to keep us entertained, and how close the cabin was to some yummy restaurants (Chair 9- great pizza). Scott was also going to allow us to stay an extra night since the weather going back to Vancouver wasn’t great for driving which was very kind. Would recommend his place to anyone and would love to come back in the summer to explore.

Anacortes Waterfront Complete Remodel/Hot Tub
Beautiful views, well appointed home and kitchen, would definitely stay here again.

Entire guest suite with Hot tub
Great place, will absolutely Stay again if were in the area for a relaxing night. Bed was super comfy and the projector screen was a nice bonus!

A Celebration in View condo 2 K 1 Q with Hot Tub
We really enjoyed our stay! Loved that from one balcony we had a river view and the other a view of the bay. The home was comfortable and cozy for our family. Beds had nice, soft (and clean!) sheets, comfortable mattresses as well. Short walk to beach access and coffee shop which was a plus as well.

Mt Baker Chalet in Snowline Hot tub
Well kept place. Great location for a ski vacation at Mt. Baker. Clean with many amenities and a nice hot tub. Would definitely stay here again.

Large Modern House with a family space patio
Great space! My family and I were in town for our brother's birthday and we were able to gather there with plenty of space. Good spot if you have a larger crew of folks you're traveling with.

Comfortable 1bed suite in willoughby
Had a wonderful stay! The space was exactly as expected—clean, quiet, and comfortable. Really appreciated the attention to detail and the peaceful environment. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

Contemporary Townhouse in Anacortes
Quiet neighborhood close to downtown Anacortes. Clean and easy to access. This place was a perfect place to stay for the night before an extended whale watching tour with Island Adventures.

Hilltop Hideaway on 8 acres ~ no cleaning fee
We loved this space very much. Most private setting with the natural world surrounding you. Wildlife, nature sounds,birds,deer. I would highly recommend staying at the Hilltop Hideaway. You cannot go wrong. Linda is a most wonderful host. As soon as we arrived Linda made us feel welcomed and right at home. Everything about this place made us feel relaxed and serene. Thank you Linda and Robert for letting us share your space!

Spacious nature retreat w/water & mountain views
We had a wonderful stay! Lots of space, great kitchen, and wonderful breezes. You can see the tides on the bay. Beautiful! The host was so supportive the whole time and especially when we forgot to pack one cupboard of our food. She had it ready for a relative to pick up for us after we left.

Waterfront Luxury | The Perch at Birch Bay
Absolutely beautiful area!! If you're looking for a relaxing place on the water with an absolutely beautiful view...look no further! We (family of 4) visited from the East Coast...we checked out Vancouver and Seattle - both areas well within driving distance. But, once you arrive here....you won't want to leave or venture out too far away. We enjoyed all of the different animals we saw...felt like we had our own private viewing of the bald eagles. We definitely will consider visiting PNW in the future. We had a fantastic time!!

Cottage on Cornell Creek
One of our favorite experiences on Airbnb in years. There are countless thoughtful touches to this Airbnb - the generous snacks/drinks, extra space heaters in individual rooms, chargers in the common spaces, the curated movie collection. It's additionally absolutely spotless, easy check in, with a responsive and kind host. A stand out - you won't regret it!

Sunset house beachfront bungalow
Words cannot describe how special this place is. We were lucky enough to stay for almost a month, and the house and beach just kept on giving. The space has an incredible view out to the Salish sea, and we watched a parade of herons, bald eagles, and numerous other seabirds from the front deck. The house is equipped with everything you need and more, full of whimsy and fun art supplies, games, the best blankets and comforters ever, and two cozy fireplaces. The photos do not do the house justice; it's huge and modern, open plan, but with lots of private sitting spaces. Dawn and Zach are the kindest, most wonderful hosts. There's a reason the Sunset house has hundreds of rave reviews. If you have a chance to book it, don't hesitate.
