Monkey Hill Farm

The best view you will have to watch the sunsets! Wonderful farm house, well equipped, close to hikes and beaches. We would stay again. Great fenced garden for Riley to watch the world go by. Craig was easy to contact.

Nice View. Spacious.

3 bedrooms plus outside entry 1 BR sleeping studio apartment in lower story. 1 shower/toilet for apartment, 1 shower/tub/toilet for main floor. Kitchen, living and dining are are quite nice. Bedrooms are decent. View is spectacular. The downstairs outside entrance apartment is rustic but only a pampered snob would object given that this property is offered at a reasonable price point. Property is a little nicer than photos present. We would lease it again. It’s a nice place. Owner lives nearby and is occasionally at the large acreage parcel as it is a working 20+ acre hay farm - which is a charming uniqueness in its own right. Give it a try. James and Jennifer

Wish we could stay longer!

Lovely house, perfect for what we needed. Beautiful view. Host was very responsive, even on a holiday weekend. Highly recommend staying here. Really nice kitchen and laundry facilities. Great grill and outdoor seating. One bathroom and 3 bedrooms upstairs. Second bathroom and 4th bedroom downstairs, accessible by outdoor entrance/ stairs only. If we are ever in the PNW again, we will want to stay here!!

Perfect location and view

Three of us single, senior women stayed in this property in April, 2023 and visited the nearby Tulip Festival in Mount Vernon. This property fit our size needs with three bedrooms and was located about a 20 mile drive from where we needed to be. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and the enormous dining room table afforded us a place to have our meals and play cards with an expansive view of the nearby water. The clawfoot tub, which would be very attractive to most people, was a bit of a challenge for us as it had very tall sides so was difficult to get into. There is a fourth bedroom and a shower in the lower level but it is not accessed from the upper level so it requires walking down a flight of outside stairs. I only mention it because others with our physical limits would need to know about it. The Whidbey Island Naval Air Station is very near by and very loud jets do maneuvers at all hours of the day and night. It took some getting used to! Communication with the owners was excellent and, overall, we loved this place.

Beautiful!

The house is awesome! Quiet and peaceful, yet not far from Oak Harbor or Anacortes. The property is beautiful, and the huge windows in the dining area offer great views of the field and ocean behind it. The owner was very accommodating, even letting my friend borrow the 240V outlet to charge his EV. The kitchen is pretty well stocked (definitely enough for us to make some good meals). The beds were all comfortable, and the bedrooms quiet during the night. One last note, while this isn't necessarily a reason to travel somewhere, the couch in the living room is unbelievably comfortable (I mean this honestly, the couch is great).

Tranquility with a view

This was a much needed get away! The property was very well maintained. Plenty of room and supplies. The kitchen was well equipped for any kind of meal. The only thing missing was an ice cream scoop. We got the pleasure of meeting the owner. He was very hospitable. He was working on the far end of the property and we didn't even hear him working. He was only there during the day on the weekend we were there. Which is understandable since he has a Christmas tree farm and a hay crop. We didn't feel put off or uncomfortable at all. Our dog loved the property. The sunset view was amazing! I'm sure we'll be back again!

Absolutely wonderful property! Sunlight filled the dining room and kitchen and the view off the deck was amazing. Great location between Oak Harbor and Anacortes right next to Deception Pass. Everyone in our large group raved about this wonderful property.

Wow! What a spot!

Monkey Hill, silly name, awesome place to be! Craig was great to work with and very accommodating. The house was clean and peaceful with an outstanding view! We spent a week in the PNW and this was a great central location for adventures in all directions. If I could give it more stars, I would. Thanks for an amazing stay, Craig!

Great View Convenient Location

Our Host was extremely helpful. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca from the large dining area and deck. Perfect for a family vacation. The property is close to Cornet and Deception Pass state parks. 15 minutes from Oak Harbor Marina. Beds were very comfortable. Living room, kitchen, and dining all have plenty of space to enjoy. Convenient fenced area if you are bringing a dog. We all enjoyed our stay!

Very Nice

This property is in a great location, just minutes from Deception Pass. This time of year it is also a great home base for visiting the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. The house is very well appointed and maintained, as are the grounds. Dog-friendly with nice fully fenced front yard and acres of fields for walks. The owner is an excellent communicator and expends effort to assure his guests have a good stay.

Great North Whidbey location.

Perfect for casual family week/long weekend. We would stay here again. The view was spectacular. The deck was a great place to relax and take in the sunset. The dining area was a great place to enjoy the view when the weather wasn't ideal for being outside.

Very accommodating and close to outdoor activities.

Had a little issue with check in due to my own fault for losing the check in email but, the host was understanding and happen to be on site. The property had everything we need including kitchen necessities and shampoo and conditioner in case you forgot your own. The view from the kitchen is gorgeous. My dad accidently knocked over a teacup and broke it and we were ready to reimburse them for the damage and they told us it was ok. Now I understand the high rating , atmosphere and hospitality of the host. Our family loved it and will definitely stay again.

Weekend Getaway with kids and dogs

We had a fun weekend overall, but brought our dogs and it would have been nice to know the property owner was going to be there working the land with his dog, as his dog (while attached to a large branch) ran to our dogs and started attacking them. After that we were not comfortable letting our dogs outside and they were working the land most of the day all weekend. It would have been good to know ahead of time, especially with having to leave a $ dog deposit (which should probably be refunded due to what happened) There also could have been more of a cooking pot/frying pan selection. There wasn’t a pot to make pasta for more than a couple people, so had to make 2 batches, frying pan was small and couldn’t make more than 3 eggs at a time, no pizza cutter, ice cream scoop, just some of the basics that are usually in a rental.

December Family Gathering

We picked this site for it's location and big kitchen and dining area. The kitchen was well stocked and full of new appliances. From the dining table we enjoyed the beautiful view looking out over the field to Rosario Strait. The telescope was really appreciated too.

Great vacation, property as described

Clean house, nice kitchen, well stocked, open living space. Fenced yard in front. Bed was comfy enough. Water pressure was not great, but is as expected for an older farmhouse. Loved the view from the dining room, and the large open spaces outside. Great location 5 minutes to deception pass, 20 minutes to anacortes. Would definitely stay again! If you don’t like the sound of air force jets, this may not be the place for you. They were flying A LOT on Monday, but weekend was quiet. Can get quite loud, they fly from 6:30am-10pm some days. But we were out most days and it didnt bother us too much

The BEST for Families

This place was amazing. Our group had 2 families with 4 adults and 7 kids ranging from 9 months to 11 years. This house was perfect! Lots of room for older kids to run, play and explore outside and lots of open safe space for the tiny crawling one inside. The king size bedroom has space for a pop up crib and with the bunk bed,pull out couches and amazingly comfy sectional couch there was plenty of beds for the kids not even using the downstairs queen. The kids loved having the ping pong table. I really felt like Iwas home and lacked nothing. Location is the best also. It's minutes to Deception Pass and there's a convenience store and coffee stand down the road. I don't see how any other place could even come close to this house, it is just awesome.
