Wonderful Christmas

We celebrated a 4-day over Christmas holiday here. Three adult couples and four grandchildren between the ages of four and two. Everything worked out very very nicely and we enjoyed our stay immensely. I would recommend it to anyone.

4 Nights in Paradise

This property has something for everyone! Comfy rooms and beds, oodles of amenities both indoors and out, and in a secure and stunning setting. We actually found it difficult to leave this oasis to explore the island. 😀. Gramma Rikki was over the top welcoming and loved sharing her dogs with our grandkids.

Great multi-generational family vacation!

our family of 10 (grandparents, parents and kids aged 8-14) had a great stay at Gramma Rikki's. The pond was so fun for kids to kayak, swim and paddle in. The beds were incredibly comfortable so all slept well. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Everyone loved it!

Delightful Place on San Juan

Gramma Rikki's marvelous home was the perfect spot for our family get-together. The listing shows the extensive amenities and we loved every part - the lake and water toys, playground, hot tub, games, etc. It's a special place for playing together, hanging out on the gorgeous grounds, enjoying lively family meals, and for quiet moments in the stunning house. Gramma Rikki lives in a separate house on the property, and she personally welcomed us and truly made us feel at home. We especially appreciated her help getting our car charged. So much was delightfully unique about our stay, and we hope to return soon.

perfect get-away

We were a family of ten including 7 adults and 3 children. We found Grandma Rikki's home to be spacious and welcoming. There was room for everyone and we all enjoyed the outside activites. The home is about 20 minutes from Friday Harbor and a perfect blend of nature and the ability to reach town quickly. You will be about a mile from Kiln Lime Park, where we watched the orcas. We found our host to be gracious and helpful. Thank you Grandma Rikki for the best family vacation!

Family Gathering

This place was perfect for a multi-generational family gathering. The youngest kids enjoyed the pond-like pool. Adults and older kids had fun playing pool. Everyone appreciated the comfortable and beautiful setting with plenty of opportunities for folks to gather or find a little quieter time for themselves.

Memorable experience!

Gramma Rikki was very accommodating and helpful, and made our stay truly memorable. The home was large enough to house our group of 7 adults and 5 older kids comfortably. The park-like grounds were perfect for afternoon walks, and the kids loved the trampoline, kayaking and the hot tub. Thank you Gramma Rikki for your hospitality!

Another great visit!

This was our family’s second time staying at Rikkis and we had a great time once again. The home is clean, comfortable and great for a group/family our size(7). Rikki is friendly and easy to communicate with. The setting is beautiful and quiet...park like. We’d relax, bbq, and explore the island during the day and then we’d usually hangout and have a fun family pool tournament in the evenings. We’d defintley stay again!

All of the amenities were in great shape. The kids adored the playground, lake, and trampoline and we all loved the super comfy beds.

Truly spectacular location and property

The photos don't do it justice! We had a large family gathering as as a 'bucket list' trip for my Mom. The house was perfect, with large bedrooms to accommodate many adults, and a gate at the top of the stairs to keep the toddler out of trouble. The property is serene and quiet. The house is amazing and the kitchen is well stocked with pantry items. We needed nothing. The host was accessible and so helpful and gracious with our requests.

Amazing, beautiful!

Our host, Gramma Rikki, is a gracious, friendly and a multi-talented person. She was very communicative from the time we reserved and all during our stay. Her property is beautiful and well maintained. Two of our family members spent a lot of days biking and hiking. The only difficulties we encountered were getting ferry reservations for the times that worked best for our travel schedule. Recommendation: call or get online as soon as you book your stay at Gr. Rikki's.

Family Reunion

We had a wonderful time at Rikkis home, plenty of room for all 12 of us, including 4 under 3years. The pond was so much fun for all our 'pirating' adventures! San Juan Island is a place I've wanted to experience for a long time and was thrilled to find a house that fit us all!!! Rikki was available for all our questions but not intrusive at all. Thank you for all the memories!

Great place for relaxed multi-generational family get together!

We stayed here for a week with our kids and young grandkids. The house was perfect for accommodating everyone yet allowing everyone some personal space. Great spaces for interacting over family dinners, out on the deck or out on the grounds. The lake and kayak were a hit with our 3-year old granddaughter. Our dog loved roaming the grounds, but was contained by the deer fencing. The house was very nicely appointed and well provisioned. A short drive to beaches at Lime Kiln and Co Park. Gramma Rikki was helpful on check-in and available with suggestions for activities. Definitely a place we would consider returning to in the future.

LOVED our stay at Gramma Rikki's!

This is one of the rare rentals that is FAR better than it even appears on pictures. Gramma Rikki (along with her pups!) is the consummate host. She was extremely helpful at checkin, and then we never really saw her; she stays on a house on the property, but we felt we had the whole place to ourselves. The luxury cabin is an architectural beauty- my husband was taking photos for future reference. It's at once cozy and luxurious with plenty of gathering spaces for a larger group. The outside space (pond with kayak, hot tub, trampoline, wooded areas) was a destination in itself for the kids. We would love to return someday soon! Thank you, Gramma Rikki!

This week was magical! The house and grounds were amazing! Better than shown in pictures/words. The house was spotless, rich with character, and every room was gorgeous. The entire place was so beautiful and grand. Organized, labeled for ease and everything that may be needed for a fantastic vacation was at our fingertips! Plenty of towels, water toys, were available for our use. The pond added hours of fun for our group, and we enjoyed the wonderful, clean, bubbly hot tub! The space was perfect for our group, we all had plenty of room. This has to be one of our very best VRBO accommodations ever. Kudo's to the best Host ever!

Rustic seclusion

Beautiful and peaceful setting. Close to state park and 20 min drive to town. We enjoyed the pool table in the basement and time on the deck. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was somewhat stocked. Debated giving 3 stars given the overall value. Lake was full of algae, didn’t deter the kids but the adults opted for the hot tub. Unfortunately the hot tub stopped working after the first night. Gramma offered to discount our next stay but we don’t take vacations that often so we probably won’t take advantage of the offer. Gramma was very responsive and setting beautiful so gave 4 stars.
