Inviting home with beautiful views

We rented this home for a long weekend getaway to celebrate my mom’s birthday. The home was very clean and inviting. The main area of the home was spacious and made for a great hang out space for 5 of us - definitely large enough for more. Large windows facing the water made it so we could enjoy the view inside and out. Beach access was excellent and we watched beautiful sunsets each night from the deck and beach. The yard was huge and made for an awesome place to throw a frisbee around. Guemes Mountain Trail was only a half mile walk from the property. Owner was very kind and helpful! We would 100% stay again! Thank you!

Wonderful Stay!

Rosebud is a gracious, comfortable, welcoming home with a gorgeous view night and day. Perfect for a family getaway with a well equipped kitchen and large dining table. There were just three adults in our family group, each with our own bedroom. It was early December and cold so we appreciated the fireplace with remote and the long table to work a puzzle and play games, and the large screen t.v. for streaming sappy Christmas movies! We fell in love with Guemes Island, enjoying the people who were so friendly on the timely self-driving Artist’s Studio Tour, that also gave us a tour of the entire island. The General Store, its restaurant, bakery and grocery store are where it all happens. The owners and all the people there were super friendly and we don’t know how our stay could have been any better.

Great Family Memories!

Our family enjoyed the peaceful setting, each day we walked the rocky beach . Enjoyed the porch overlooking the water - nightly dates with a harbor seal and occasionally the deer showed up too! Kitchen was lovely and enjoyed our morning breakfast and we also made dinner for our parents one night. Walking to the General Store we saw an eagle !

Family (Orca & Roses Festival) Trip

Great place to stay. House very clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed.Weather was a lil rainy but we were prepared for that. House had big umbrellas, walking sticks and small cooler for our day trips. The Ferry was something we needed to get acclaimated to, so word of advice; check Ferry Schedules 18 hours in advance.Location of home very quiet. Eagle watching in tree next door! Had time for to play cards, enjoy family dinners and terrific company. Definately worth considering on your next trip to San Juan Islands.

Great place for a weekend away

We stayed here for a Friendsgiving and had a great time. The kitchen and dining room are spacious and had everything we needed. The deck was a nice place to enjoy a morning coffee. We enjoyed the island, especially the hiking and general store. We would be happy to return for another stay in the future!

Fantastic House!

Beautiful home on Guemes Island, close to the ferry. We rent a lot of homes and this one was really nice. Well stocked with linens and bedding, and even some of the basics other homes have never supplied. Great view, home was spotless and beautifully decorated. Don’t hesitate if you’re considering this one 😊

Great place!

We stayed with our son and daughter in law for the thanksgiving weekend and had a wonderful time. The location is beautiful and we saw sea otters playing in the harbor out our windows. There is a hike up the mountain just a short distance away and it is breathtaking. The mountain ranges and views to the water are stunning. We loved our stay and would go again without hesitation.

Relaxed and recharged

This was a wonderful home to visit. Each day I have been thinking about what I want to write in the review. There are so many good things to say. The simplest is that everything you could possibly need is here at the home. The interior is fully remodeled with upgraded features throughout. Kitchen stocked with everything- even the Kosher salt that so had forgotten to bring. Furniture is high quality and comfortable. Storage is ample in every room. Parking is excellent. There is a perfectly located electrical outlet near the front door so I was even able to charge my vehicle in front of the garage throughout our stay. The location is excellent with great views and direct access to the beach. Our drive around the island was peaceful and our hike to the summit of Guemes Island was even better. I have a very good feeling that we will be back here to visit again!

Lovely and peaceful home for our girls' trip

We rented the Rosebud for our girls' weekend trip and had an outstanding time. The house was super clean and well furnished with everything we needed. The three of us could spread out comfortably. We loved having a fireplace to sit around as well as a beautiful view with wildlife skirting by on occasion. The home was located conveniently to the ferry and to the general store. Couldn't have picked a better place for a quiet and rainy weekend.
