About this property

Sunsets on Mitchell Bay

This home is a partial timber-frame with vaulted ceiling, set in a wooded area overlooking peaceful Mitchell Bay. It has ample main floor space that includes the master en suite bedroom and laundry, 2 additional half baths, fireplace w/ firewood included, large eat-in kitchen, separate dining room, and large deck with a gas grill. The lower level includes 2 bedrooms, a full bath, large flat screen TV with HDMI cable for streaming (no cable TV) and a sectional couch that pulls out into a queen sleeper.
The house is fairly kid friendly, with a pack-n-play in near-new condition. There are books, games and puzzles. The TV on the main level has a DVD player and Apple TV for Netflix and Amazon streaming, and the large flat screen on the lower level has streaming availability with an HDMI cable for laptops. There is wifi. Currently, it is slow in the greater area in general, so will allow for one streaming show at a time. Hot spots from phones work well also.
The house sits raised above Mitchell Bay facing West. From here the sun sets beautifully and is enjoyed as you sit on the deck relaxing or BBQ'ing dinner. A fire pit in front has seen many a s'more and Blazing Tree Rd and Kingfisher Lane (accessible directly from the property) have been used for many a bike ride or stroll. The surrounding area provides privacy for its residents with an additional 9 acres of common land directly adjacent to the property. An Alpaca Farm heads up the road, with Young's Hill, Mitchell Hill, and English Camp close by. Roche Harbor is a short drive to the north.

Great location

Our mixed family of five had all the room we needed plus some. The house had all the comforts of home. Extras in the kitchen made cooking a breeze. The beds were very comfortable. A path down the hill led us to the bay. Great place, easy drive to Roche Harbor.

Lovely retreat

This was a great house. The view was amazing, the kitchen was well stocked for our group and there were plenty of linens and little extras (TP, paper towels and soaps). Tracy was very responsive and answered all questions and check in info quickly. Should note there are some rustic (but beautiful) stairs to get to the front door so challenging for elderly access. Loved this house and want to come back to the island and stay here again.

Beautiful large property

6 adults stayed here very comfortably, everything was advertised! Only complaint was the internet speed, but that was also noted by the host before the trip. Luckily one of us had TMobile and the towers there were pretty strong (not ATT or Verizon though). So we tethered through TMobile when needed.

Beautiful and spacious with fabulous views

Really great house with everything you need to have a wonderful getaway. Our family of five (3 teens and 2 adults) had plenty of space. Stairs to the front door might be a challenge for older guests and not so easy to get to the water, but we loved everything about this dream home and just appreciated relaxing inside, going into town or hanging out on the deck. Amazing view!!

The perfect blend!

My siblings and I took my parents on a surprise 50th Anniversary trip to the San Juan’s. We wanted a unicorn house: a perfect combo of secluded, some water views, enough private bedrooms, ample space to get away, really clean, and reasonably priced. This house fit the bill perfectly. We loved our lazy mornings on the large deck, the nights and mornings cooking together in the kitchen, and the convenience to everything San Juan. While it may not be the most modern or be waterfront, it had the perfect blend of all our most important points when deciding. To get those things; expect to pay much more. Thank you to the host for being easy to communicate with and for all the comfy places to sleep and chill out. Would choose this again in a heartbeat.

Great spot

This is an excellent vacation rental. Set back from a beautiful bay, surrounded by woods, with a great back deck and all around spacious and comfortable. The host was very clear in communications and all of the details were easy to follow. Would definitely recommend.

Family getaway with 3 generations

We very much wanted to be on this part of San Juan Island as we had a relative who had the Longhouse at Snug Harbor. The house was spacious with plenty of room for the 8 of us to spread out. Nestled in the trees, it was cool. We spent a lot of time on the large deck looking at the water. It was a great place for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. The house was well appointed with high quality appliances, electronics, and utensils. There was plenty of room on the property for the younger ones to run around safely. There was a fire pit for an evening campfire. This was a perfect place for our get together and even exceeded expectations, which had been quite high. We would certainly stay again on a return to San Juan Island.

Mansion @ Mitchell Bay

Fantastic home nestled away overlooking Mitchell Bay. There were seven of us visiting and although I booked the property, I pulled the short straw and slept on the pullout couch. Extremely comfortable for a pullout!! I slept like a baby. The home is fully furnished down to the basic cooking necessities for preparing meals. Cell phone service and WiFi we had zero issues. Will definitely visit and hopefully book this home again.

Far better than the listing!

Wonderful home with everything you need at the ready. Perfect house for gatherings with 3 sinks in the kitchen/mud room area which makes prep and cleanup for a crowd a breeze. The home was easy to find using their directions, beds were super comfortable, house was immaculate, bathrooms were well placed, deck had a beautiful view, walking path to the dock was easy for all, appliances were new, and internet served us well (not sure what the complaints were about). The home has a great deal of beautiful wood work but is nonetheless light, bright and cheery. Tracy was super easy to work with and quick to respond with questions. We are already talking about booking the house next summer! Big thumbs up from everyone in our group, ages from 29 to 81!

Amazing house and beautiful location

Really amazing house. Very spacious. Beautifully secluded in the woods with views of the water and short walk to the shore. Owner was responsive and helpful. The master suite is very spacious and lovely. The other 2 bedrooms downstairs are nice but just not as nice as master suite and it’s quite a bit cooler in the lower/basement level in case you are looking for absolute equity between bedrooms. Toys and books for the kids. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

The location is lovely

The house had been without internet for 2 weeks before we were to arrive . As I was boarding the ferry Tracy informed us. Our Verizon phones barely worked. AT&T not at all. We we’re to stay for 6 days move on to our boat for a weekend & then move back in. We chose to leave after our initial stay. It made it difficult to communicate with family, friends or contact local establishments about their hours, menus etc. Tracy refunded the appropriate amount of money promptly. Maybe short term weekend guests aren’t bothered by the inconvenience. There was confusion on check in as the info from VRBO was different then what eventually Tracy walked us through. The house was clean, nicely decorated, & in a beautiful quiet location. But it was advertised as having internet & obviously it had been a problem for sometime.

Lovely home, great location

Beautiful property and home. Lots of room to hang out - inside and on the large deck. Peaceful and quiet; nice views of Mitchell Bay. Private setting. Plenty of family games. Kids loved the alpaca farm that's right down the road. We had an issue and Tracy was incredibly responsive in working with us. If you're looking for a place to get away from it all - this home is perfect!

Family gathering for a wedding

We were 8 members of a family from 3 generations. This house was perfect. The one year old enjoyed his freedom on the secure deck. The view of the water and ease of access down to the dock was great. Beds were all comfortable and the house felt cozy yet spacious. We had a problem arise with the hot water tank while there which was an unfortunate happenstance, but the owner was very responsive and helpful. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful experience on San Juan

We had an absolutely wonderful four nights at this home. It was very spacious and clean, and the deck overlooking the bay is amazing. We found everything we could have needed there and it was a great home base for exploring the island. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!
