About this property

The theme of this Lopez Island cedar home is Northwest nautical. The cabin is situated on 3 private acres with plenty of sunshine and grassy open space. If you're looking for a large, private property with lots of space to spread out and a gorgeous view, look no further.

The cabin faces north and has a view of Swifts Bay in the foreground and Orcas Island and Mt. Constitution in the background. The view reminds you of the special place you are in the world; surrounded by water and islands. Swift’s Bay beach is a 3 minute walk from the lower property and Spencer Spit State Park is a mere 10 minute walk up the gravel road. The cabin is a 10 minute drive from both the ferry landing and the village.

The floor plan includes two bedrooms, one full bath, kitchen, and great room with wood stove on the main floor and a sleeping loft, reading alcove, TV area, and ¾ bath on the second floor. The downstairs bedrooms each have a queen size bed and the sleeping loft has a queen bed and twin sized bunk beds. There is a port-a-crib available for the little ones.

There is a flat screen TV with a Blu-Ray/DVD player. We have a modest selection of movies for your viewing pleasure. There is wifi internet access as well. Tons of puzzles and board games.

The cabin has a large, wraparound deck for enjoying meals alfresco, listening to songbirds, watching deer graze or raptors soar high overhead. Adirondack chairs, reclining chairs, picnic table and a sun umbrella are on the deck for relaxing. The cabin is surrounded by an acre of grass for playing games or just having fun.

There is plenty to do on Lopez including biking, kayaking, whale watching, fishing, eating local organic food or just relaxing and doing nothing at all. Find out why the San Juan Island's are listed as one of the top island destinations in the world by Conde Nast and other travel publications.

This is a wonderful cabin to share family memories and enjoy everything that the San Juan Islands has to offer.

We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do.

Keywords: Sunny, kid friendly, wide open, marine view, mountain view, private getaway, close to the beach.

Lopez cabin stay

This cabin was really wonderful! Came with my family, half of us on bikes. Stayed right on the edge of Spencer spit. Small view from the cabin. Rich and Amy were great hosts, clear communication at the beginning. We only stayed 2 nights and had no issue. Would stay here again.

Family Gathering

In August our far-flung family gathers on Lopez. Rich and Amy’s cottage has served us well on two different years. We love the location next to the park and walk out into the spit everyday. The house is clean and well stocked, and during a cool rainy spell this year we enjoyed the cozy wood stove.

Peaceful cabin

Property was perfect for our family with a beautiful deck and yard. Comfy beds and house was stocked with games and puzzles. Pans in kitchen (very scratched) and towels in bathrooms have seen better days (very rough). Kitchen could use clean sponges/ extra paper towels.

We loved staying in this beautiful and cozy cabin. I love that it’s within walking distance to Spencer Spit and close to town. It had lots of beds so was great for the kids. Kids also loved the great selection of DVDs and cozy living area.

It Couldn’t Have Been Better

From the beginning, host’s check-in directions (concise), to all aspects of the Lopez Cabin’s accommodations (cookware, kitchen dishes and utensils, BBQ, deck seating), comfortable bedrooms, dining & living room. We had a lovely stay and hope to return, soon!

Great headquarters for Lopez weekend

This is a beautiful, peaceful, comfortable place that was a great location for a weekend stay for me and my teenage son. It is walking distance to Spencer Spit State Park, and a quick drive away from other hiking spots and from town. The beds were comfy, and the wood-burning stove perfect for a rainy evening. Next time we will bring the whole family!

Fabulous place to stay especially with young children

We were delighted to see how easy it was for us to walk down the hill to the beach and on the gravel road to Spencer Spit. We found the kitchen had everything we needed to cook all of our meals and grill outdoors every nite. I loved the wood burning stove for the cold mornings and the fact that the home had enough screens to allow us to sleep at nite as it didn't have air-conditioning. Mu children were delighted with the number of toys in the closets and the large yard where we set up the "summer olympics". Rich was a very responsive host and did a great job supplying linen and towels for our entire family.

nice getaway on a secluded property.

overall impression was good it could have been more comfortable however, the mattress was hard and lounging in the living room was all but impossible ! We had a few un invited guests in the form of large black carpenter ants too.

A sweet retreat.

Came out for a girl's trip with my mother-in-law and 3 year old daughter. We were delighted as soon as we pulled up to the property. It could certainly house much more people than us three, so it was quite luxurious to have all that space to ourselves. The cabin was completely set up with everything we needed to live comfortably. My daughter was thrilled with the amount of toys, particularly the train tracks. Rich provided good directions which was handy while we drive up the windy mountain road, as well as lists of restaurants and things to do around the island(s). I would definitely come back to this very special place. Thank you Rich for the lovely stay.
