“Sweet cabin in a secluded wooded area. Lovely patio and surroundings– very peaceful and calm. Came here with my brother and sister for our first ever “siblings weekend” to hang out, and it was perfect. My brother is a workaholic and was pretty stressed out going into the weekend, and as soon as he got out of the car he started to unwind. He spent a lot of time lounging in the adirondack chairs on the patio, just drinking in the calm. The house was as advertised, very comfortable. The twin futon chair/beds were surprisingly comfortable, even for a grownup, and there were plenty of linens for all of us and our varying comfort levels. The trail through the woods to the beach was just gorgeous! While this is technically Langely, it’s not walking distance to town. It’s actually well placed between Langely, Freeland, and Bayview, so we had lots of opportunity for food, groceries, and coffee. We all loved our stay, and my brotehr has sworn he’s coming back every year!” – Amy S.
