About this home

Maybe it's the whales. Maybe it's the fishing. Maybe it's the fact that there's always something to do-or absolutely nothing to do. For more than 50 years, this cabin has been bringing families together. Parents slow down. Kids actually want to hang out. Teenagers who swore they were "bored" somehow end up staying outside until dark, looking for crabs, spotting seals, ringing the Whale Bell when an orca swims by, + laughing around the original iron fireplace w/s'mores in hand. Summer means lazy afternoons on the deck w/incredible views, evening bonfires, + sounds that make everyone stop talking for a minute. In the fall, grab your fishing rod + head down the shared beach stairs to one of Whidbey's legendary salmon beaches. Dig for clams, hunt for geoducks, or drop a crab pot. In the winter, launch your boat just down the road at Possession Point + watch for humpbacks + gray whales as you chase Dungeness crab. This isn't a fancy cabin, + that's what makes it so special. It's the kind of place where sandy feet are welcome, fishing gear lives in the shed, the outdoor shower gets plenty of use, + nobody cares if dinner is fresh salmon or hot dogs. Inside you'll find everything you need: a cozy bunk room, range, microwave, refrigerator, Airhead composting toilet, outdoor hot-water shower, + a separate gear shed ready for rods, crab pots, and adventure. Some families hand down photo albums. Others hand down a cabin. This one has spent five decades bringing people together.
