Our home is a beloved family getaway on the water at the end of a private lane on Skagit Bay with access to a small cove. Casual and comfortable with a Pacific Northwest feel, it's decorated with Pendleton blankets and regional art. The well equipped kitchen includes a cusinart, kitchenaid mixer, and cast iron and caphelon pots and pans.

Our house sleeps 10 in four bedrooms, each with water and island views. The downstairs master bedroom has two queen beds and is handicapped accessible. Upstairs bedrooms are furnished with one queen bed, one double bed and one twin trundle bed. Upstairs bathroom has a shower. The downstairs bath has a tub with shower and a washer and dryer.

The open plan living space includes a large extendable dining table that can seat 10 for meals with family and friends and comfortable chairs and sofas for daytime and evening lounging. Bookcases are filled with a wide range of reading choices, from field guides and cookbooks to classics of fiction and non-fiction as well as boxes of games and puzzles for family fun.

A partly covered south facing deck provides a grand view of Martha's Bay, the North Fork of the Skagit River, the Swinomish Channel and its myriad boat traffic, and the many islands of Skagit Bay. The deck offers excellent bird watching as the tides shift, with great blue herons moving onto their feeding grounds as the water recedes, and then replaced by ducks, geese, and gulls when it returns. Eagles often fish out over the bay, and before and after fishing perch in fir trees next to our house. Seals follow schools of fish as they return on incoming tides, as do families of river otters. Dot Island, just offshore, is the home and nesting site for oystercatchers, whose sharp cries can often be heard from the house. The deck has tables and chairs and a gas grill for outdoor cooking and dining. A large steel artisan made firepit in the west side yard can be used for evening fires and roasts.

Excellent bay and estuary kayaking are a short carry and a few steps down to the adjoining cove.There is water in the cove from mid-tide and above, so tide tables must be consulted when planning trips! The cove is also an excellent place for children to explore and play under adult supervision.

The point adjacent to the cove provides a unique and commanding 270 degree view, east up the Swinomish Channel to Hole in the Wall and the entrance to La Conner, beyond to the channels of the North Fork of the Skagit, south past Goat Island to Camano Island, west to Whidby Island, and north past the Dead Man Islands and Hope Island towards the hidden passage of Deception Pass.

Tides and water levels change dramatically twice a day affording ever changing views.
Children welcome, but yard fronts onto rocky access to tidal shoreline and young children must be under adult supervision at all times. Upstairs bedroom windows open and has no child proof bars so must remain closed and locked unless adults are present.

Launch your kayak from adjacent cove with a short carry. Excellent 1- 6 hour kayak trips (tides depending) around Goat and Ika Islands; return through estuary channels, N. Fork Skagit and Hole in Wall. Island views abound across the water. Visible and notable are Ika, Goat, Sand, Sugarloaf, Dot, Camano and Whidbey. As tides fall sandbars emerge for herons to stalk and feed on and then submerge again. The Skagit Valley is a magic carpet of river, estuary, farmland, village and town. Regardless of season, there are crops growing, there are birds sheltering, artists, performers, and cooks at work. Watch water birds varieties from inside, from deck or yard through the day's tidal cycles. Or, if boat spotting is your thing, watch the Swinomish channel traffic directly in front across the bay.
Olympic mountains loom to the southwest above Skagit Bay and Whidbey Island. North Cascades peaks appear to the east above the North Fork of the Skagit River.The house sits on a low rock outcrop just above Skagit Bay with a hundred feet of water frontage ending in a scenic point with 270 degree water views. Nearby La Conner deserves its fame. But venture further, north across the delta to Bow-Edison, south to Conway, with a stop at Snow Goose Produce. Delightful pebble, sand and driftwood cove with short stair access just yards from house. Launch kayaks or paddleboards.

It is much like being in the San Juans without having to take a ferry. There is a cove beach that is good for launching and beaching small water craft and relaxing in. There are two boat launches within 5 minutes of the house and ample parking at the house for a number of vehicles.
The kitchen is set up with all of the basics you will need to create fabulous meals from the fresh local ingredients that the Skagit Valley is so well known for supplying our region with. If you don't feel like cooking head into La Conner, Anacortes, Mt. Vernon or Bow- Edison and check out the good eats they have. You will also find a happening art scene, live music, fun bars, and good shopping. If all of this sounds like too much and you just want to relax and do nothing you have come to the right place. It is a good place to just check out the view and enjoy all of the wild life that is constantly around.
