It is also a great location for families who are visiting nearby Western Washington University, attending a reunion or wedding, writers or artists seeking inspiration, Bow-Edison & Skagit valley tulips, yoga, or those just wanting to escape city life. Chuckanut Trails Studio is your ideal retreat for all seasons!
Coziness and warmth radiate from acacia hardwood floors, cedar ceilings, gas-wood stove, stone and iron accents. Tasteful, new updates throughout. Get creative with simple meals in your own gourmet galley, complete with gas cooktop, microwave, fridge, dishwasher or become a “localvore” at a number of unique eateries, farmer’s markets, or oyster farm. Same level sleeping accommodations include a queen-sized oak Murphy bed with high-quality memory foam mattress, flanked with ample storage and pantry. When the bed is retracted, a clever fold down table doubles as dining and computer workstation in an open floor plan to maximize space. The sitting area features a live-edge coffee table, two slipper chairs, pull-out couch, movable hardwood island, blue-tooth BT speaker, 42” Smart HD satellite television and high-speed internet. There is also a 75-square foot carpeted loft for relaxation, or reading. Loft also features a flat screen monitor, and quality queen futon that can double as a bonus sleeping area or work space. There is a single, heated-tiled bathroom with shower. There are two entryways, one through private single car garage (for your use) and other through a slider that leads to your own outdoor flagstone patio seating, flanked by local sourced sandstone boulders, Madrona and Douglas firs, and Chuckanut Bay views including "Dot Island"
