Light-Filled Cabin on Percich Pond! 10 minutes away from Friday Harbor!
This private, light filled A-frame retreat is centrally located on San Juan Island, and is just steps away from the Pelindaba Lavender Farm and minutes from whale watching and hiking on the Westside. It is less than 10 minutes to any major point on the entire island. Here, you can enjoy eagle spotting on the south-facing deck overlooking this 9-acre lake property, or take in the view through floor-to-ceiling windows from a comfy recliner inside the open concept living room and kitchen.
On this beautiful 15-acre pond you can hunt for frogs along the shoreline. Although watercraft are not provided, you can cast a reel from the dock and fish for smallmouth bass (no license required). And speaking of the deck, there is a nice gas BBQ and outdoor seating and eating area. Enjoy watching the ducks, swans and other waterfowl floating on the calm waters year-round or watching junior sailing lessons on sunny July afternoons.
The home is set up with 2 main-floor bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a full galley-style kitchen and cozy living room enhanced by the large pond-facing windows. The primary bedroom is equipped with private sliding-door entrance to the deck, a king sized bed, and a 3/4 bathroom with in walk-in shower. Guests will also have access to the laundry room just past the primary bedroom. The guest room is equipped with a queen bed, and a full bathroom is adjacent to the guest room. A sleeper-sofa is supplied in the living room, as well as a new Smart TV for streaming your favorite tv services.
Free internet/Wi-Fi access. Download Speed: 8.3 Mbps, Upload Speed: 1.63 Mbps. San Juan Island is a remote location and it is good to keep in mind that intermittent, short, Wi-Fi disruptions are very normal for this area.
There is a 1:12 pitch wheelchair ramp to access the home and two exterior 3' doors. The house is wheelchair 'friendly'.
***Please Note*** We do not have any boats for guests to use on the pond. Any other boats(rowboat, kayaks...) are our neighbors and are absolutely off limits. Please be respectful during your stay.

It was really peaceful and nice.. the only issue was the mud on the dirt road in front of the house.. it was muddy and sloppy and my husband’s front drive car got stuck in the mud and he had to have a tow truck pull him out.. they need gravel on that road or something..

Glad you enjoyed your stay...sorry that you got stuck.
What a lovely property! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were enchanted with our house by the pond. Totally relaxing and we enjoyed the bald eagle couple that frequents the pond area! We highly recommend this location!
Amazing location, off the main tourist area and secluded away for your own little quiet private getaway. Centrally located so traveling anywhere on the area is super convenient. Would recommend anyone staying on the island to check this listing out.
This property was wonderful! It is quiet and really a place you can relax. We did yoga on the private dock in the morning. Lounging in the master bed with view of the pond and mountain range makes you want to stay there all day. The kitchen is well stocked. It was really nice to have washer and dryer available so we could pack light. We would happily stay here again!
This home is very quiet and relaxing, with beautiful views of the pond and surrounding property. Peaceful, private, and in a great location to access all that the island has to offer. We had an issue with the house and Jamie went above and beyond to fix the issue.
We were here to visit family only a little ways away. It was an easy drive. The place was spacious. We had a couple kids who used the sofa sleeper and it had a mattress cover and pillows but we couldn’t find the extra sheets, but were able to make fo with the extra blankets we found. We look forward to future stays.

Glad you had a nice time and thank you for letting us know about not finding extra sheets. We'll pass this onto the cleaner.
This was a lovely place to stay. The house is comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. The view from every room is peaceful and we enjoyed watching the many birds that came by. A great place to spend a rainy weekend! The only issue was parking. The listing states that there is parking for 2 cars, but there is only room for one car next to the ramp, and other parking spaces were not defined.
My eight year old daughter and I spent a week here. Very spacious for two people. Lots of kitchen equipment and an outdoor propane grill made cooking easy. Close enough to many of the places one would want to go, but we also spent time watching frogs turtles fish and a pair of otters (who we only saw the first morning, though admittedly we were out and about a lot). Nice yard for throwing a frisbee and flying a kite. My daughter lived the spiral staircase and wants one in our one floor apartment (!!). We have already put this on a list for a repeat visit.

We are so happy you and your dtr enjoyed your time together at our place:) Happy to host you again!
We enjoyed our time here, it’s a great setting, which was a big appeal when we booked our stay. but were disappointed that the beautiful pond out front was off limits. No ability to paddle board, kayak or anything. We would have loved to be able to rent a small boat, paddleboard, to get out on the pond. The home is very dated, yet functional. A few updates have been made (floors and countertops), beds were comfortable, washer/dryer helpful. Location was great for access to Friday and Roche harbor, with a very serene setting. It was fun to watch the sailing school, as kids learn to sail on the pond. Lavender fields have been closed down, which was a bummer, as the house is so close to them. Overall, a relaxing stay.

Glad you had a nice stay and thank you for your feedback.
Our family had a great stay at the light filled cabin. It was very clean and the access instructions were simple and quick. Instructions for using the appliances and heat were clearly marked, and our family enjoyed the beautiful view in the morning and evenings. The only issue we had was that the coffee pot didn’t work properly for us, but in the big scheme of things, really not a big deal. I gave four stars to communication with the property manager, but never actually had to contact them during our stay. We would love to stay here again! Thank you to the hosts for a great Spring Break stay Percich Pond.

Thank you for staying and for your feedback about the coffeemaker. Glad you had a nice time.
The house was great and everything was clean. I was a little confused about the fire pit and the note saying “no outdoor fires”. Also the remote to the TV didn’t have a “select” button so we weren’t able to actually watch anything. It gave us more reason to go outside and enjoy patio time.

Glad you had a nice time...sorry for the confusion about the firepit. It is not available for guest use.
Great location and view for a San Juan Island weekend trip!
We enjoyed our weekend stay at this listing! The view and deck was lovely for relaxing outside or sharing a meal. There was plenty of room for five adult guests and the listing was well stocked with towels, sheets, and kitchen supplies. The listing itself is a bit older, some of the drawers are hard to open and the second floor is completely blocked off for some reason. I wish the note about the second floor was included in the listing as this would’ve been good just to set expectations. At one point I actually wasn’t sure if we were sharing the home with the owners or not, but I never heard sounds from the second floor so I assume we were the only guests there.
