Welcome to this charming, newly updated, waterfront cabin! This delightful Lopez Island home snuggles into a hillside covered with old-growth conifer trees and sculptural Madronas. Klahowya features mesmerizing blue water vistas across Thatcher Pass toward Blakely Island, and on a clear day you will see the snow-covered cone of Mount Baker in the distance. You will also enjoy watching the parade of boats headed from Anacortes to the Islands that pass by the windows as well as the shimmering reflection of the Washington State Ferry as it glides by on a regular schedule.

Warm colors, knotty pine, and tasteful furnishings create a comfortable island style in this home. All main rooms focus toward the fabulous views, including the two bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed, one on the main level and one on the lower level. The lower level bedroom also offers a gas fireplace, TV in the sitting area, and private deck - the perfect place to watch the eagles soar overhead. The kitchen is well equipped with a gas range and new appliances and there are added contemporary benefits of satellite TV, located in the lower larger bedroom only, and wireless internet service.

You will find Klahowya to be a quiet, restful place that is perfect for an Island getaway in all seasons. It is located only 200 yards from the Upright Head Nature Preserve where you can hike and maybe find the eagles nest! In addition, this house is only a mile from Odlin State Park, where you will find a great beach, public dock, and boat launch. Being close to the ferry landing, this home is also a great spot for those who arrive via bicycle.

Smoky anniversary stay

Vacation Date: August 1, 2018

This was our second visit to the San Jauns and our first to Lopez Island. Unfortunately, we were there during the week of heavy smoke from nearby forest fires. Staying at Klahowya, though, was a pleasure. The outdoor space alone makes it worth renting. While the description of the place is listed as "upscale," it is absolutely not. Comfortable, cozy, and convenient are better words to describe the home. The furnishings are showing some wear and tear and the house could use at least one king size bed. And as long as you don't mind being in the middle of ferry traffic lining up several times a day, it couldn't have been more convenient and private the rest of the time. We were there to celebrate our 35th anniversary, and it was one of the best anniversaries we've ever had! Yes, we would recommend but keep in mind that it is not a perfect house by any means.

Great Lopez Retreat

Vacation Date: April 1, 2018

This was a perfect place for a spring escape to Lopez. We spent our days exploring in mixed sun and rain and loved coming back to this warm and comfortable home. Loved watching ferries coming and going, eagles and marine wild from the deck. The hummingbird feeder is a great touch. Nice to have a welcoming place for our 15 year old pup.

Peaceful, quiet getaway.

Vacation Date: September 1, 2017

My husband and I enjoyed staying at this property in September. The location near the ferry was convenient. The kitchen was well equipped, which was good since we cooked and ate in quite a bit. The bathroom was great, but we wished it had been downstairs with the master bedroom. The bed was comfortable and the fireplace was perfect for chilly evenings and mornings. We enjoyed watching TV from the comfy couch in the master as well. Of course the star of this rental is the view! Looking out at the water and all the natural beauty was mesmerizing. I was fortunate to be up before the sun one morning, and the sunrise coming up over the distant island and reflecting off the bay with all its colors was spectacular!

Best place on Lopez

Vacation Date: August 1, 2017

A beautiful house, with a beautiful view, well-furnished, well-equipped kitchen, great location (especially for the ferry line!). Only comment is it is inconvenient not having a bathroom downstairs with the main bedroom, especially if you had four people in the house. I suspect there is a downstairs bathroom that is locked by the owners. If there is, and it was opened, we would be back.

Manager's Response

Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing to visit the San Juan Islands and for allowing us to assist with your vacation experience. We also appreciate your very good review and your kind feedback. There actually isn't a bathroom downstairs, only the one upstairs. The room that was locked is the housekeeping supply closet. We do hope you will return to the Islands and give us another opportunity to serve you. Best Regards, General Manager

This was our first time to the islands and it could not of been a better experience! We got to watch the sun rise, the sunset, the moon rise and the moons illumination on the water was amazing.

Scenic & Serene

Vacation Date: July 1, 2017

This waterfront cabin was ideal for our Lopez laid-back vacation. Isolated, yet close to the ferry terminal, great for island hopping. River otters, raccoons, deer, eagles and great forest walks all within the area. Very comfortable, clean and very well stocked. A car is a must at this location for exploring other portions of the island. I would very much rent this cabin again.

Wonderful home in a wonderful location

Vacation Date: July 1, 2017

We loved our trip to Lopez Island. It is such a beautiful place - from the deck of the house you can just watch the world go by. Other reviews are accurate - you're close to the ferry but it is in no way bothersome. We actually liked it the day we left because we could easily get in the ferry line and then hang out at the house. The island is so beautiful - just enough to do but still has a sleepy vibe to it. The house itself was really nice and very well maintained.

Best Vacation Rental on Lopez

Amazing location with ability to watch the ferries arrive and depart. The cabin was well stocked and clean. Our family of 5 stayed here comfortably for 5 nights and we were still sad to leave this little vacation paradise. Ample kitchen supplies, DVDs, bedding options, BBQ and two spacious decks. We highly recommend a visit to this charmer and will definitely go back again ourselves. Thanks for a very inviting and relaxing get-away!

Great Location, Beautiful Views

Vacation Date: July 1, 2016

Our stay at Klahowya was wonderful. The house is close to the ferry landing, making it very convenient to walk or drive onto the ferries. We were concerned about noise from the ferries but with the windows closed, we rarely heard their horns. The porches are large and offer beautiful views of the water and ships passing by. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. One suggestion: we could have used an empty cupboard to store the food supplies that we brought. Thanks for making our stay a memorable one.

Perfect HQ for exploring the islands.

We are parents with 2 teenaged sons. Perfect house for us - kind of rustic/elegant. Beautiful views on a quiet island. Benefit to have it so close to the ferry - can park your car in line and return to the house 'til it boards. House is well-maintained w/comfortable beds & linens & stocked with everything you'd need to cook. Better than average market close by. We loved it.

Lopez Island – Beautiful View

Vacation Date: July 1, 2016

This vacation home looks out on the water with a great view of the ferries coming and going. Located very close to the ferry landing but a short drive to the village , the queuing cars for the ferry out front don't present a distraction because of the homes location down the hillside. The beds were comfortable, nights are cool great for sleeping. Coffee on the deck in the morning watching the boats come and go is not to be missed. Our only negative is the saut pans and some of the dishes were not as clean as they should have been and could use curtains in the living room / dining area .Overall a conveniently located property with a great view.

Excellent cabin right on water and walk to Ferry, get quiet and relaxing. Close to downtown area (2-3 miles) with great walking trails nearby. We spent 3 days exploring Lopez Island and one day to San Jyan for a kayak trip- nice variety for our 4 night stay. Cabin was exceptionally clean and kitchen was well- stocked. We would return to Klahowya!

Very Lovely Place

Vacation Date: May 1, 2016

Klahowya just might have the prettiest view on an island that features spectacular views in every direction. The house was charming, clean, and comfortable- from the fluffy towels to the (apparently) ironed sheets! Coffee on one of the stunning decks in the morning was a vacationer's dream. (If you add a pastry from the local Holly B's bakery: heaven!) Note: We did wonder if the proximity to the ferry might be a problem due to noise or traffic, but it was not. We never had ferry traffic block our parking area, and the house feels quite private in its woodsy setting.
