Essay by Susan F. - an 85 year old guest of the Studio:

…an aerie hanging in the treetops above a lake…

From the Lakeside dock:

Truly. Toad Lake has polliwogs.

A brown duck (which?) dashes for brush-cover. Two tiny ducklings follow her. (Are they really running across the surface?) They leave spidery wakes.

Dragonflies hover, dart. Butterflies flutter, alight, open, close. Yellow Irises cluster.

A woman suns on an inner-tube. A woman swims laps. A man, standing in the lake, plays fetch-a-stick with two paddling dogs.

A kayaker. Another kayaker with a fishing rod.

On the far shore, any time of day, people are fishing. Slanting light makes colors fluorescent: blue (beach chair), orange (vest), red (SUV), all repeated upside-down in the lake surface.

Bald eagles glide high above. Another raptor (which?) soars.

Swallows (which?) are skimming.

Robins and song sparrows are singing everywhere. More birdsong. (Whose?)

Timeless northwest forest trees that taper, are mirrored on the lake’s surface as wavering blocks of modern art.

Eight Canada geese form a flotilla and head to the far shore, reconnoiter on land, then slowly make their way to the small decaying raft beside us on the pier. They nibble at the covering of green growth and then depart. The geese have left the raft unstable. Untethered, it floats slowly into the middle of the lake. And then, where?

An alligator (?) with brilliant gold eyes drifts to the middle of the lake, then hides on the far side. He is retrieved by kayak, - that thrilling, life-size, plastic alligator head that was meant to keep the geese away.

From the Dwelling:

Look down on the top-feathers of swallows (which?), turned golden in the sun.

Catch sight of two young bucks with furred stubs of antlers strolling down the driveway.

Later, read by lamplight in chairs before the fireplace. One book can be passed between the two of you to share, reading aloud.

Sleep on a queen-size perfect mattress.

Brew morning coffee and take the morning easy in

an aerie hanging in the treetops above a lake

- "The place was comfortable and had a beautiful view of the lake." - "We loved staying here! Beautiful lake front property and very comfortable bed." - "Overall, we had a good experience. Cute studio with a great view. The bed was comfortable, bathroom was large and kitchen had what we needed. The only negatives would be that there were other guests in the unit above. This was a little annoying for us at times but all in all wasn't an issue. Also, the upstairs unit controls the thermostat. Again, it was not an issue for us but just something we would have liked to have known in advance. We enjoyed using the peddle boat and the gift basket was a nice touch."

- "Cozy home, comfortable for family of 5" - "comfortable and easy" - "you get what you pay for." - "Not that great of a stay"

High Ceilings and Large windows make this home a place where the weight of the world fades away.

There is one bedroom with a queen bed, one queen size sleeper sofa (with a gel mattress) in the great room as well as a blow up queen mattress. A great place for two to six for a fun weekend.

My 'Girly Industrial' house theme is expressed in the pink accents, hand painted black peonies on the grey concrete floors to the truss joist with car-decking for the ceiling creating a loft like space.

I put in 'old lady' steps to easily get into the water off the dock so more are able to enjoy the lake on a hot day.

My house is designed for accessibility no curb for the shower 36 inch wide doors and it is all on one level. I brought my friend who is in a wheel chair for a weekend and she was happy to be so independent. For further details please call.

I am not always at a computer ( I am somewhat of a luddite) so my response time is not instant. I am at my computer on Mondays. Please feel free to call if time is of the essence. that is the best way to reach me.

- "The Lake House is right on the shore of Lake Samish. The architecture, art, location, and amenities are fantastic.

Jennifer was an incredible host. Great open interior. We will definitely be back. If you are there in April you must visit the tulip farms nearby, truly breathtaking."

- "Lots of nice amenities, pretty fancy but still comfy. Can't beat the easy trail access and nearby the ocean beach at the state park a few minutes drive away. Wish we'd had more time to explore area lakes and relax on the litte patio. The upstairs loft is so tranquil with lots of light and windows overlooking the trees.

- "Lovely space. My 17 year old appreciated having a room with a television to himself. The adults appreciated the wide variety of games, generously outfitted kitchen, and super comfy bed. The hosts were responsive and easy to communicate with. The tradeoff is that it's in more of a commercial than a neighborhood setting, but it was an easy walk to greenspace and a neighborhood with cafes. We really loved staying here, thank you!" - "Very nice clean place to stay! Spacious and the beds are very comfortable!"

We are dog friendly, and we require all guests to clean up after their dogs. There are plastic bags provided for animal waste disposal when dogs are in the backyard and on neighborhood walks. Cleaning up after pets includes excess pet hair, especially on furniture. Please use the waterproof pet blanket provided for the sofa and bed.
Guests bring the animal onto the property at their own risk. The booking guest is liable for any damages that pets cause. (You will note that we do not usually charge a cleaning fee of any kind. We will have to charge a cleaning fee if your dog leaves behind a mess or causes damage.)
We find that most people are cooperative and responsible with their pets. We love traveling with our fur babies, and would like to keep allowing pets in our listings. Thank you for being understanding and working with us to keep our rental available to pets!

Rules for dogs:
1. We do NOT have a fenced yard or space. If you have a dog that will wander, we require you to keep your dog on a leash or a lead.
2. We live in a country neighborhood and being good neighbors is very important to us. Excessive barking, making noise or being a nuisance to our neighbors is not allowed.
3. Clean up after your dog in the rental, around the rental and anywhere you take your dog in the neighborhood.

- "Loved it" - "I would highly recommend Josh’s yurt! He was very personable and the check in process was easy. The yurt was very cozy, even in the winter! We were very surprised with how comfortable the pull out bed was, and the blankets were exceptionally cozy. The location was really close to things. The only suggestion I would have is a stool to put down the outside roller-blinds on the yurt. We didn’t even realize there were blinds until half way into our stay, and then we couldn’t reach them. That’s a very small thing compared to all the greatness of this stay, though!"

The Interurban Trail is steps away, Teddy Bear Cove trail is a five minute walk. Fairhaven is a five minute drive. Larrabee State Park 3.5 miles south.

The master bedroom has a king bed, television, 2 large closets, and a sliding glass door out onto the patio with beautiful views. There is an en suite bathroom with 1 sinks, toilet, and shower.
The guest bedroom has two twin beds. There is a bathroom next door with a combination jet tub/shower, toilet, and sink.

- "This place is all about the view. You walk in the front door and it's all you can focus on. The expansive deck was great for lounging on, drink in hand, at the end of a busy day of sightseeing. The kitchen was really well stocked for a rental and we enjoyed cooking meals here. The location was fantastic. Minutes from town but feels like you're in the country. My only quibble is that the furnishings were a little spartan (no bedside table lamps), but overall a great place."
