The house was as described, clean, comfortable and well located. It is on a quiet, private road just 1 mile from shops and restaurants. Washington Island has many activities for outdoor enthusiasts and beautiful beaches for relaxing. The hosts are very easy to communicate with. This a perfect retreat for those looking for a laid back and peaceful getaway.

Loved the location and the cabin. I loved that there were two separate bonfire locations to choose from. The amount of games were impressive. Although there are neighbors, they are far enough away and the forest is thick enough that it feels private. You don't really don't notice the neighbors unless kids are play outside. My only real critiques are things that kinda come with being a cabin on an island such as couches that envelope you and windows that don't quite shut right. However, that's kinda cabin life which is what we wanted and logistically, is pretty hard to figure out how to transport couches onto an island.

Cozy cabin retreat

This cabin is the perfect place for an island vacation in the woods - clean, quiet, and convenient. We wish we could have stayed longer. Washington Island is a wonderful, hidden gem, and it is definitely worth it to visit Rock Island while you’re there.

The perfect cabin experience on Washington Island! Great location, clean and homey, and a real getaway. We enjoyed the patio area and the interior layout was perfect for our group. Kitchen was well stocked and the store nearby had everything we needed. Thank you! PS: love the DVD collection

The house is beautiful and beautifully decorated! However, the drawers in the cabinets/dressers were filled with past occupants travel containers, combs, batteries; just plain JUNK! Everything was comfortable and convenient and we loved every moment of our stay. If only the TV worked, WiFi was available and we had been allowed to use the wood burning stove, it would have been perfect!

Nice home on Washington Island

The owners were wonderful to work with and responded to my questions quickly. The home is as described and is a wonderful way to truly experience life on the island. We enjoyed our stay. I would recommend riding the Cherry Train at the beginning of your stay to get a great overview of the island. We enjoyed hanging out with the locals at Fiddler's Creek as well.

Thanks for your review Jill. I agree that the Cherry Train is a great way to see all the island has to offer and I plan to include that suggestion in my welcome letter for future guests. Fiddler's Green is one of our favorite places on the island as well. Very relaxing atmosphere and some great local entertainment. We are so glad you enjoyed your time at the island. You were wonderful guests and we hope to have you stay with us again in the future. Thank you, Dan and Lory

Washington Island House

Lori and Dan's home is in a great location, private, well stocked and very comfortable. The Island has many attractions and great restaurants whether you want to get active outdoors or relax on the deck or beach. Everything is accessible by bike. The vibe is casual, relaxed and peaceful. This our our 2nd stay and we are looking forward to going again next year.

We attended the Write On literary festival a short distance away so we were busy all day and came home after the dinner hour. I think I may have used a toaster once. The cabin was cozy even as the temps. dipped into the 40s/50s at night. Loved the peace and quiet for sleep—better than living on Main St. in my city. It was a beautiful and relaxing stay.

Quiet peaceful area

Nice overall, however, outside property needs some cleaning up and deck railings need work. Having small kids we were very leary of them going near them. Inside cabin was beautiful. Well supplied in the kitchen area. We had a great experience on the island.

Comfort & Renewal

Our stay at the cabin was wonderful! We arrived to a clean, comfortable cabin (that would have comfortably held A LOT more than us!); stocked with essentials (beds made & ready, soap, TP, coffee filters, firewood & kindling next to the pit outside). I loved the location - away from main street hub-bub. You flexibility in allowing us to bring our puppy was SO much appreciated! Many thanks for providing an essential of a wonderful week!

Thank you for your great review of the cabin and your stay. I'm so glad you felt comfortable and renewed. The island has a way of doing that if you let it. A step back in time. You were wonderful guests and I am so glad you stayed with us. Thank you again for your comments and I hope you can stay with us again in the future, maybe invite a few guests to join you. Take care, Lory

Nice property and cabin layout, and nestled in plenty of trees for good privacy.

Very nice cabin layout. Two private bedrooms on first level and huge loft area upstairs. Positioned well on property for good privacy among the trees and enough sky view as well. Could maybe use another bathroom for more people staying, but all-in-all this is a great cabin!! Excellent communication with the owners and equally as good customer service as such. If you like Washington Island this cabin should certainly be a top pick for your stay there. We will be back again!!....... The Morgans

The gone was very pretty, yet done air conditioners would've been nice in a home so big. Even central air..... the basement has tools and saws laying everywhere..... a nice property that could use a ton of work. We had a great time though. Thank you.
