San Juan Island

the house was impeccably clean and loaded with all the basic necessities; a plethora of dishes, cooking utensils, great fridge and stove and we felt extremely comfortable. I think every neighborhood on San Juan island is excellent and we very much liked the "tucked-away" location. Communication with the owner was quick, timely and accurate. There were only two minor things I would suggest for the next resident: the directions to the house could be made more clear and 9 remote controls for the TVs (?). I know the local cable companies are challenging and the truth is we didn't watch TV at all but if the next guest wants to watch TV it is a challenge

Forest Hide-a-way

We really enjoyed this peaceful property. The home was very clean and well stocked with games and puzzles. The kitchen had a lot of odds and ends (don't bring spices - they're pretty well stocked) that made eating in convenient. The walkabout was a lovely addition and we enjoyed the gazebo by the pond. It was nice to have space to unwind after exploring San Juan Island.

Beautiful Spot

The house was beautiful and very well appointed. The location was easy and right in the middle of the island. We all felt so welcome and right at home. We would love to come back again and again!

Centrally located, private oasis

This home is perfectly situated in the middle of San Juan Island - 15-20 minutes' drive from all points of interest on the island. The setting is private, serene, and beautifully landscaped. The owner has lovingly appointed this home with attention to detail inside and outside and has entrusted her guests with stunning artworks and comfortable furnishings. The kitchen is a dream with every conceivable item you could possibly want to prepare a culinary masterpiece. We purchased fresh mussels from Wescott Shellfish Farms (order/pay online in advance and pick up the next day - pay attention to their hours) and found everything we needed to cook several other meals throughout our four-night stay. Beds are comfortable, linens are luxurious. The owner provides valuable information about island access, activities, and other information to newcomers. Great communication via email and printed materials inside the home. We have stayed in various other VRBO units on the island but this one was our favorite - we will return time and again.

Such a great home

My kids and I stayed here for a short trip to San Juan. We could not have asked for anything better. The home is beautiful and comfortable. Everything you could need is provided. The forested setting, art, books and puzzles made me wish we could stay much longer. Staying here is a nice respite from the fun but commercial Friday Harbor. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Jeanne Sleeper

Owner, Jeanne fell in love with this island in 1976 when she was there to teach a class, visited several times over the years and in 2006 two families found the 16-acre parcel of our dreams. Both families live in busy So CA and they wanted the peace and privacy that comes with the rural forest and lots of space. Their love of the ocean, nature, art and sculpture fill the house and gardens.

Why they chose this property

This custom property is a low VOC, low allergen, amenity-filled home situated so light fills the house and every piece of art has a story. Kids have room to explore, enjoy a rural environment, see stars at night while parents read, BBQ, take walks and enjoy porch and patio sitting time. It's nice to be away from the traffic and town. Enjoy the craftsmanship and love that the island artisans built into my home and the computer and Starlink internet connection available for guests.

What makes this property unique

The wetlands behind the house has frogs, dragon flies & tad poles. The small deer come to drink and then walk around the lawn perimeters. The walkabout is a perfect 1/4 mile walk thru the woods to start and end each day. The property is in the island center, so Lime Kiln State Park, American Beach, Friday Harbor town or Roche Harbor are only a 20 minute scenic drive away.
