The Lodge at 23-Acre Whidbey Estate

Stay in The Lodge at one of the PNW’s rarest private waterfront estates—23 gated acres on Whidbey Island with beautiful Puget Sound views.

✔︎ 11 private guest suites
✔︎ Ensuite bathrooms
✔︎ Shared kitchen, dining & lounge
✔︎ 800 ft private beach access
✔︎ Deep-water dock
✔︎ Tennis court
✔︎ Putting green
✔︎ Fully fenced dog park

Ideal for retreats, wedding guests, family groups, and corporate stays.

Welcome to The Lodge at El Haven — the perfect large-group stay inside a private 23-acre gated waterfront estate on Whidbey Island.

The Lodge is designed for groups who want privacy, comfort, and convenience. With 11 private guest suites, ensuite bathrooms, a shared kitchen, dining area, fireside lounge, and access to the estate’s beach, dock, tennis court, putting green, dog park, lawns, and gardens, it is ideal for retreats, wedding guests, family groups, corporate stays, and multi-room getaways.

This is one of the rarest lodging setups on Whidbey: private rooms and bathrooms for your group, plus the beauty and amenities of a full waterfront estate.

THE LODGE

The Lodge gives guests a simple but powerful advantage: everyone can stay close together without giving up privacy.

Each guest suite offers a private bedroom and ensuite bathroom, making it easy for couples, families, colleagues, or wedding guests to stay comfortably under one roof. Many rooms include desks or seating areas, peaceful views of the trees and grounds, and clean, comfortable layouts designed for restful stays.

At the center of the Lodge is a shared common area with a full kitchen, island seating, dining space, living room, fireplace, and TV. It works beautifully for group breakfasts, retreat breaks, casual dinners, planning sessions, movie nights, or relaxed evenings after a day exploring Whidbey.

WHY GROUPS LOVE IT

The Lodge is especially strong for groups because it solves the biggest problem with large vacation rentals: not enough private bedrooms or bathrooms.

Here, guests get:

✔︎ 11 private guest suites
✔︎ Ensuite bathrooms
✔︎ Shared kitchen and dining area
✔︎ Comfortable fireside lounge
✔︎ Space to gather without crowding
✔︎ Easy access to the estate grounds and waterfront

It is practical, comfortable, and rare — especially for wedding parties, corporate retreats, and multi-family groups.

ESTATE AMENITY ACCESS

Guests of The Lodge also enjoy access to the estate’s shared outdoor amenities:

✔︎ 23-acre gated estate setting
✔︎ 800 ft private beach access
✔︎ Beautiful Puget Sound views
✔︎ Deep-water dock
✔︎ Tennis court
✔︎ Putting green
✔︎ Fully fenced dog park
✔︎ Mature landscaping
✔︎ Expansive lawns
✔︎ Garden paths and waterfront walking areas

Walk down to the shoreline, watch the tide move through the bay, play tennis, practice putting, let your dog enjoy the fenced dog park, or simply enjoy the peaceful privacy of the estate.

WATERFRONT, BEACH & DOCK

The estate’s waterfront is one of the most memorable parts of the stay.

Follow the path down through the trees to the private beach and dock area, where the view opens across Puget Sound. Enjoy beach walks, photos by the dock, quiet time by the water, and the rare feeling of having access to a private Whidbey Island shoreline.

DOG-FRIENDLY

Dogs are welcome, and the fully fenced dog park is a rare bonus for guests traveling with pets. Your dog can enjoy a secure outdoor area while your group enjoys the rest of the estate.

PERFECT FOR

The Lodge is especially well-suited for:

• Corporate retreats
• Executive offsites

• Family groups
• Multi-family vacations
• Friends’ gatherings

• Dog-friendly group stays
• Guests who want private rooms and bathrooms within a waterfront estate

LOCATION

Our host responded quickly to all our questions which allowed us to book quickly. The lodge was perfect for our large family and 3 day gathering. Having a bathroom for every bedroom was a win!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The lodge suuitedour family gatherings with great rooms with individual bathrooms in all bedrooms. We had some issues with both the front door and back door which need adjustment to prevent scraping during closing and opening.. for renters who are there with a pet it would be beneficial to have available a small commercial vacuum to do the flor rug and bare floors especially when bring your pet.Kitchen was adequately stocked with plates, glassware and silverware. Cooking pots and sheet tins were adequate. Would be a suggestion to sharpen the knife sets or have a sharper available to touch up,Otherwise we love the spot and the use of the dock for our fishing boat to venture out crabbing, .Thankyou for allowing us to stay.JEROME
