About this property

Deer Lake Getaway - private dock, fire pit and a hot tub!

  • Come enjoy a stay on Whidbey Island, right on Deer Lake. With close proximity for day trips to Seattle, Port Townsend, Anacortes, and the San Juan Islands, you can stay put, or travel around. Plenty of shopping, parks and beaches, hiking spots, and great eats all close by, you may not want to travel all that far! This wonderfully private 3 bedroom/3 bath home can accommodate up to 6 guests quite comfortably. You may bring a dog with you but they must be approved prior to your arrival.

    All three bedrooms are upstairs. A room with a queen bed that overlooks the lake, a large 'kids' room with a full bed and a twin bed and a large master suite with a king size bed. The master suite has it's own deck overlooking the lake, a wonderful view tub in its own bathroom and a television. There is a second full bathroom shared by the other two bedrooms.

    The main floor has a large kitchen & dining room that leads out to the deck overlooking the lake. The kitchen is quite spacious and is well equipped for preparing meals. There is a bathroom with a shower on the main floor and full size washer & dryer.

    The living room has large windows to take in the beautiful view of the lake. The television and stereo system are in the den with a large collection of movies, games and books for the whole family.

    Deer Lake is a great spot for swimming, fishing and boating. You are welcome to bring your ski boat or kayak.

    Our Deer Lake Getaway is just a couple of miles from the Clinton ferry terminal and a short drive to Langley. It's the perfect place for a getaway and to explore beautiful Whidbey Island. Come relax and enjoy this private retreat from the busy world!

The Perfect Quiet Lake Getaway

My husband and I had such a wonderful time staying at this cozy lake house. Loved the views, peace and quiet, cozy gas fireplace, and hot tub. We stayed for 5 days to celebrate our anniversary and unwind after the holidays. Patti was super helpful and responsive when we had any questions during our stay. We’re already taking about coming back in the summer to enjoy the lake more.

Crisp, sunny winter weekend at the Deer Lake house. Place is clean, well-equipped, and in a great location. Communication with owner is prompt. Bring your binoculars to watch all the ducks swimming past this waterfront property.

We had a great stay

We enjoyed our stay over Memorial Day weekend. We didn't spend much time at the house, but wish we'd had more time to enjoy the lake and hot tub. Maybe next time. Some of the bathroom fixtures are dated, but they're functional. The house has mild age related wear, but it's on pretty good shape. The parking is tight, and you have to turn around at the bottom to get out, so if you have a large truck, or multiple vehicles, it takes a little work, but its doable. Overall, we were pleased with the property and would definitely stay again.

Very nice lakefront house

Our family has been going to this Deer Lake house for over 8 years. We enjoy being on the water- caught several trout and perch. Canoe and two paddle boards are available. Jumping and swimming from the dock is also fun. Clean and well furnished house.

Summer vacation

The lake house was fantastic, better than expected, and they are great hosts. We love Whidbey and it was nice to spend time on the lake and at the ocean out at Double Bluff. My only complaint is we didnt catch any fish but we have to take blame for that.

Beautiful Home on Deer Lake

We travelled to Whidbey to attend a wedding. This home was perfect for the 6 of us during our stay. Beautiful views each morning and convenient location close to shopping. Wedding was at Dancing Fish Vineyard only 15 minutes away. Comfortable beds, 3 bathrooms in this great accommodation. Thank you so much.

Lake Getaway

The Lake house is a lovely setting on the lake. The house is roomy and cozy and clean. Three bathrooms were a luxury. Beds were very comfy. We enjoyed the hot tub. The host was very responsive and checked in to be sure we were settled in The house is close to the ferry and two good restaurants- the Bagel Factory and Pickles deli. It’s not too far to Langley which is a lovely spot. I would have given it a five except that it is a bit dated. But it is very comfortable and had everything we needed. I imagine it is fantastic in the summer when you can swim and boat on the lake

Wonderful Stay

What a great lake house! We were five adults and a small dog with ample room and lots of space! Exactly as pictured. Whenever we had a question Patti responded quickly and she was so nice! Perfectly located between the ferry dock and Langley. Kitchen is stocked with all cooking equipment but bring your own condiments and cooking oil. The master bedroom mattress is on the softer side and is great for side sleepers. I’m one of the few who sleep on their back so it was uncomfortable for me, but nothing a soak in the hot tub wouldn’t fix!

Lovely Deer Lake Getaway

Beautiful location, close to the amazing grocery store the goose. There's shopping and restaurants in Langley. A 7 minute drive to the Clinton to Mukilteo Ferry. A nice spot for day trips up to all the Whidbey Island attractions. The house is comfortable, nice beds with good pillows and fluffy comforters, a huge *completely* stocked kitchen. Every soap in the house is high quality fully stocked bathrooms, washing machine/dryer, and dishwasher. The dock is great, we spent a lot of time playing basketball and looking at the view. Comfy couches. Fully stocked huge kitchen, dog and kid friendly. Enclosed area for your dog. Huge blackberry bush. We had an amazing time and can't wait to go back. Great communication from Patty and Paul, lovely hosts.

Lake Getaway

This house was perfect for a family getaway! The lake was so peaceful and serene. The kitchen sink overlooked the water for inspiring views and cool breeze which made spending time in the kitchen fun. I loved eating out on the porch overlooking the lake. The balcony off the master bedroom was great for enjoying a little quiet time away from the kids. It was ideal for this waterlover and family. The kids had a blast on the paddle boards! I really appreciated the provided paddle boards as we could only fit one in the car by the time everything else was packed. One day I'd love to retire to a home like this! Local activities were plentiful! We explored the state parks on the island, visited the navy bases to watch the planes. The big hit was the Blue Fox Drive-in. Langley was charming. I've been recommending it to friends who are looking for a low-key family vacation not too far from home. I've heard wonderful things about Pickles Deli, but unfortunately when we tried to visit on our way home, it was closed. We'll just have to go back again! .
