Wedding weekend stay

My niece planned her wedding on Whidby Island and, at first, we were a bit flustered because of the lack of a traditional 'hotel block' but were fortunate to find your property. It was perfect for our group - giving each couple privacy with a private room and ensuite bathroom. Beds were comfortable and you have the 'best' towels I have ever used in a rental! The main kitchen had everything you might need to cook for a group. Our 4 YO granddaughter was with us and enjoyed the grounds including the play structure. We spent most of our time 'out and about' and found the location perfect for exploring. Having the 4 yo with us we would caution others that there was only one working bathtub and it was a large soaker tub and would not be easy to bathe a younger child. The property manager was very accessible and responsive - although we didn't really have any issues crop up. Would stay here again without question.

We'll be back!

This was our third stay at Crawford House, so the fact that we have chosen multiple times it as a place to vacation with our adult kids and grandkids says a lot. It is lovely and spacious with a nice kitchen and comfortable pretty bedrooms. Our grandkids love the big yard (which is stunningly beautiful) and playset. We enjoy the big table that we can eat on one end of while doing a huge jigsaw puzzle on the other end. We had fun going wine and mead tasting, visiting the park, and trying out local restaurants in the area, as well. It was a wonderfully relaxing weekend, and the owner and manager are both friendly and helpful. We can't wait to come back.

Great Extended Family Stay

This property is perfect for our extended family. Rain or shine it works fine for our preschool and early elementary school grandkids. There are lots of places for everyone to gather, as well as get away for quiet time. It’s also fun to go wine tasting nearby.

Whidbey Wonderland

We were thrilled with the Langley Retreat for our family gathering. Plenty of room and a bed for everyone. Having 2 kitchens was a real bonus and the wisteria covered patio space was lovely and accommodated our large family. I highly recommend the Retreat for families and larger groups.

Perfect Place for Large Gathering

A group of old college roommates with our partners and newborns spent the weekend here and had a great time. Spacious, great bedrooms. We hired a private chef, who cooked a couple meals in the kitchen, which was large enough to comfortably handle the large meals. Backyard is great for lawn games. And Lara and Jennifer were communicative and very helpful. Would definitely recommend renting.

Great for Group Travel!

What a wonderful property! The private bedrooms plus the shared spaces made our 11 person group vacation so enjoyable. We loved having the instruments to play, the piano itself brought hours of joy! These were the most comfortable beds and bedding that any of our group has encountered in a hotel or B&B. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

50th anniversary trip

I booked this house over a year ago to celebrate with our entire family and it was fabulous! From the coffee beans to the bottle of wine and fresh strawberries they left us on arrival to the special treats that the manager Jennifer brought us for movie night and back yard smores. Jennifer even ran over with a scale one night so we could make sure 2 of the kids weighed enough for the zipline tour they wanted to do. Lara was a delight to work with and I would stay here anytime again. Thanks so much for all you did to make the trip special.

Lovely Retreat for Relaxation

We enjoyed our stay at the Langley Retreat Center. We felt so at home - maybe even more rested and restored. The home was clean, fully stocked in the kitchen and living room, including yoga props. Some guests enjoyed the baby grand piano too. The rooms/beds were very comfortable. Excellent location close to the center of town and island exploration. We plan to rebook for another retreat weekend.

Tacoma Qigong Getaway

Our four day stay with ten friends was nothing short of spectacular in this lovely home. The owner and manager were so easy to communicate with, checking often to make sure we had everything we needed. The bedrooms were large with very comfy beds...the best sleep I've had in a long while. The kitchen was well-stocked with several gourmet meals prepared by our chef friend. Lots of room to sit in the evening altogether and read. So lucky to have found this home!

Perfect space for a retreat!

We hosted a yoga retreat at Langley Retreat Center. We all loved our stay, and our guests said their rooms were beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. They enjoyed their stay and the retreat, and asked us to host another one here. As hosts of this retreat, we only had positive experiences. Lara and her team made sure everything we needed was ready for us. She had all the yoga props we needed prepared. There is a beautiful space for 12 people to practice yoga. She answered all our questions in a timely manner. We will definitely be booking this beautiful home and retreat center again.

Great property for large family gathering

The property and location were perfect for our extended family's stay for our daughter's wedding. We spent almost all our time in the kitchen or on that fabulous patio. We grilled a couple evenings including the last night when 25 straggler guests and family members joined us for one last celebration. Everyone loved all the wild life - lots of deer (including a buck) and raccoon! We enjoyed badminton and corn hole. It was great having such a large house and big bedrooms - people were able to escape and get much needed sleep and naps as fit their schedules. It's a great spot - thanks again for all your work to make us feel welcome!"

Wonderful space for multiple families

We loved our stay! After two years of solo trips we travelled with two other families and stayed here for a week for the Fourth of July. The house has so much space for everyone to spread out, a giant kitchen, a private and comfortable outdoor space, and plenty of bathrooms. We loved the kids play area, the tadpoles in the ponds, the proximity to Langley, and the covered back porch. The house has character and has some pieces that may be tempting for smaller kiddos (harp, antiques), but ours were so happy to run around with friends that they stayed distracted. The rooms were quiet and we didn’t hear each other at night, plus all of the rooms are away from the play area and kitchen which helped with early morning wake ups. We would definitely like to come back!

Extraordinary Experience !!!

We gathered extended family at this gorgeous property. It is hard for me to describe how perfect it was for our family. There is lots of beautifully designed space which allows a larger group to spread out but then there is a central area with a simply glorious kitchen (truly unreal), a huge beautiful table for all to gather and then outdoor space to spread out in. The kitchen is beautifully equipped and easy to use and the outdoor space has a huge grill and more tables. We loved the fire pit at night. I could go on and on. Suffice it to say that we have stayed in many properties over many years and this is the best of all. The property owner and manager were also extraordinary in their help and responsiveness. Many thanks for a fabulous stay!!!

Pictures Don’t Do This Place Justice

We had a group of 13 (six couples and a brother). This place could not have served our group any better. The space was perfect. Having six bedrooms on one wing of the house each with full in-suite bathrooms, each with large comfy beds, and all separated from the other wing of the house was perfect. A hallway with a sort of storm door separates the sleeping area from the living area is what made this place so perfect. If our group was hanging out in the overly spacious living room and someone wanted to go to bed, they could get away and enjoy a quiet nights sleep. The kitchen is very well stocked with all equipment needed, the 10 burner stove with double oven is perfect for cooking for a large group. We were all able to sit at the dining room table for meals together. The patio was very spacious and so peaceful for a morning cup of coffee (deer would walk right up to the patio to eat from the trees). The “caretaker’s suite” was also a really nice addition for our 13th guest to have their own space as well. The host was great, this house was perfect, we will definitely be back to stay here. My only advice to guests who are not from the area, the ferry can have long wait times if you plan on going off the island. Wasn’t a huge deal, but we did push our dinner back an hour and half one evening.

I wish I could live here

The pictures do not do this property justice. We rented this home in July for an annual reunion of friends. Upon walking into the house our friends kept exclaiming how amazing the house was and congratulated me on finding it. We had 11 adults and one small child. Everyone had a room and there was extensive space in the home to find a private nook to recharge away from the gathering. The huge kitchen table was perfect for fitting everything to dine, as well as breaking out multiple boardgames. The house is separated into two wings (with a kitchen in each) as well as an optional caretakers suite that extends into the perfect kids space. In our case, it was perfect for a very private couple that needed a more private retreat and was also handicap accessible with no stairs or high clearance shower pans. This is the first VRBO rental I have seen that has been this well stocked. We did not lack for coffee or tea service and there were many sets of dishes and silverware. Tons of blankets to ward off the chill. Basic dry goods and other pantry items were available. The grounds were breathtaking. We all enjoyed the landscaping, outdoor patio (the macrame swing chair was everyone's favorite), the pond, and the abundant wildlife that would come to feast on fallen cherries. We were greeted with our own bowl of cherries harvested from trees on the property. We were able to enjoy some sea kayaking and visit town. We highly recommend Braeburn Restaurant during your visit. We ate there twice. This was truly a relaxing and enjoyable vacation and no one wanted to leave. The cherry on top is the owner and highly responsive property manager. We had a small issue with a kitchen sink faucet which they promptly came to fix the next morning. I had also accidentally left a pair of shoes which they found and offered to send back to me. I can't recommend this place and the owner high enough.
