5 Acres of Solitude, a Restful Place To Rejuvenate, Winter Or Summer

Welcome to peaceful Birdsong Retreat where the quiet serenity is accompanied with birdsong. This spacious, newly built home sits in a sunny yard on 5 acres of beautiful Cedar trees that guests are welcome to enjoy walking in. It is located at the end of a quiet road, very private, yet close to town and amenities - only 10 minutes from the car ferry, and less than 2 miles to the beach and a view of the Olympic Mountains.
The house is fully furnished for guests comfort. You will find all you need in the well-appointed kitchen, including spices. All luxurious linens are provided, including beach towels. Internet, WiFi, and cable TV with flat screen and Blu-Ray, as well as stream Netflix are provided. Listen to your favorite music on the I-Doc station or Pandora. Books, board and yard games are provided.
This is a restful place where you can rejuvenate, winter or summer. Rock on the porch or lay back in one of the recliners, curl up with a book in this cozy, quiet haven. The number of birds and other wildlife here are amazing; we've seen great horned owls, bald eagles, and many song birds. It's great for individuals and families. If you wish to venture beyond this property, there is plenty of natural beauty and points of interest, golf courses, hiking trails, parks, as well as quaint towns and shops nearby on this vacation destination Island. We have a guest book with maps and some suggestions at the Retreat.
The house features: spacious vaulted great room with living room (multiple reclining sectional), dining area (seats 6), and kitchen with new stainless steel appliances (also microwave, coffee maker, bagel toaster, Belgian waffle maker, popcorn popper); 2 large bedrooms with queen size beds (luxurious cotton sateen sheets and down comforters), additional convertible queen bed; 2 full bathrooms with showers, tubs (luxury towels, soap, shampoo, and conditioner, hair dryer provided); utility room with washer and dryer (soap and fabric softener provided); iron and board; wood deck with patio dining set and gas grill; covered porches.
Leave your worries behind as you ride the 15 minute car ferry (only 10 minutes drive to the house) as you begin your retreat. To get the current ferry schedule please see our website under links below or google Washington State Ferry, and look under Mukilteo-Clinton.

Peaceful Clean Stay on South Whidbey

My wife and 16-month old and I had a wonderful time at Birdsong. Quiet, well-stocked kitchen, gas grill, plenty of space, and comfy beds were the highlights for us. Easy access to Freeland and the south Whidbey beaches.

Perfect home away from home!

This is the second time my family and I have stayed at this lovely retreat on Whidbey Island. Everything is clean, organized, and so homey! The owners are very friendly and communicative. We hope to make this our go-to place to stay when we make our trips to visit our family. Thank you so much!

Wedding stay

We were on the island for two nights and this house was convenient to the family activities. This was one of the nicest homes that I have rented and I do a couple rentals every year. I would recommend this house and hope to be back in the area to rent it again. Clean, well stocked, lots of games in the closet, good internet, and just super nice.

Clean and secluded home in the woods

Diane made renting and checking in easy. My family stayed there during a reunion because we didn't have enough bedrooms at our house. They found it well appointed and comfortable. We'd happily rent again.

Wonderful and relaxing home

We had a very relaxing stay at this home. Enjoyed that it was at the end of the dirt road so there were no traffic noises and we were able to enjoy the sounds of nature. House really had all of the gadgets you would need and was extremely clean. We were very impressed. Thank you for a great trip!

a peaceful and comfortable getaway

I've been to Birdsong Retreat twice, and have just booked a third stay there. The setting is peaceful and beautiful. We saw a mama deer and her fawn right next to the house in the morning, and at night we heard the hooting of owls. The house itself is quite comfortable and furnished with everything we needed for an enjoyable and relaxing stay.

A Slice of Heaven

Everything was as described. Comfortable, clean, well-equipped, but most of all private. So beautiful and calming to be surrounded by nature. We didn't see the owls this year but I am sure they were there. Thank you Diane

A peaceful, quiet getaway

This was our third or fourth time staying here. We keep coming back because of the peace and quiet and the comfort of the home. The kitchen is well stocked, including coffee, tea, some canned goods, and all the kitchen appliances you need. The beds are super comfortable. Our host Diane was responsive when we had a small issue with the TV (resolved quickly.) Highly recommend!

Beautiful Property

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The setting is private and beautiful. If you like to be surrounded by nature, this is the place for you. The home is clean and has everything you need. I would highly suggest you bring drinking water. The water has an odd smell and taste that is hard to ignore. Other than that, we had a wonderful time!

Secluded retreat

Our family of six enjoyed our stay at Birdsong Retreat. There was plenty of room for all of us. It was nice staying in a newer home with quality linens, towels, etc. The owner has gone above & beyond to make sure visitors have everything they need to feel at home. The house is literally nestled in the middle of the woods & is adequately named---we heard all kinds of birds, including owls. We also saw a doe & a hawk. We will definitely return!:-)

Mid winter break stay

Our family of 5 has spent three days in that beautiful house this February. The house is brand new with lots of open space inside and has everything you can think about. The beds are very comfortable with many layers of blankets which was great for different temperature adjustments. It locates in a private and very quit spot. The owner is very responsive and available over the phone whenever we had questions. She is also was very thoughtful and prepared descriptions of local hikes, stores and restaurants that we found to be very helpful. We've loved our stay a lot and plan to come back! Thank you for sharing your house with us!
