Welcome to The Hill, . Enjoy your stay!


Our house on the hill is located just a couple miles from downtown Anacortes, Fidalgo Island. Also 1 mile from one of the most beautiful Lakes in Anacortes, Whistle lake. This lake offers lots of beautiful trails for hiking, biking, jogging, Cliff jumping, paddle boarding, kayaking, and fishing.
The house itself is on 2.5 acres mostly surrounded by forest, It is very private, with only a few neighbors close by. Our 3 bedroom 2 bath house offers an open floor plan, living room upstairs with large kitchen and dining room, a master bedroom and bathroom as well.
Downstairs you'll find 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a family room, and laundry room. Also a wonderful feature is the hot tub located just outside on the lower deck.
There is plenty of open deck space to enjoy relaxing and watching the waterfall and the majestic view of Mt. Baker. In the evening you'll enjoy sitting around the huge fire pit located on the north side of the house.
You'll want to bring your paddle boards, blow up flotation devices, fishing gear, bikes and hiking shoes, while you enjoy time at the lake.
With only a short hike to the lake, you'll avoid the traffic at this popular summer hot spot.
Just a short distance away the town of Anacortes provides a wonderful array of fine dining, beach access, fun shopping!
About a twenty minute drive west you"ll find the Washington state ferries. This popular adventure is a must!!
Your stay on the hill will be an experience you'll want to come back to year after year.
Please come make those wonderful memories here on The Hill!!

Amazing Wedding Weekend

Due to COVID-19 we had to scramble to change all of our wedding plans a month before the wedding. We decided to keep our wedding date and have a small ceremony at Washington Park with just our family and a couple close friends. We got ready together at The Hill and it was SO perfect for our needs. The boys got ready downstairs and the girls upstairs with the beautiful view from the huge dining table. We did our first look by the gorgeous pond and felt like we were in a scene from a movie. We loved the secluded feel of the location. In being fully honest, there were a few minor cleanliness issues but with such a large house it didn’t really bother us. I would highly recommend The Hill for a family get together or group of friends.

Really nice spot with great views and lots of space to congregate. A little slim in the kitchen as far as utensils, bowls, etc, but for a smaller group (5-7) it was everything we needed.

Wonderful stay, excellent value for money!

We travelled as a family of 6 for 2 weeks, and we stayed in several VRBO and Airbnb properties. This property was considered as being on top, or very close on top on our list of properties. The house has a wonderful deck with a great view (don`t look too low as to see the refinery!), very spacious (we could spread out), we received a lovely welcoming gift (THANK YOU!) and the owners were very helpful with recommendations on the ferries to the islands. I would recommend this property to everyone who travels to Anacortes.

Spacious

Could not get over how much space there was. So nice to be in a place that had large rooms to play games and enjoy each other in as well as be able to have some me time. Super close to Whistle Lake, but does require you to hike about 10min so. bring a wagon if you wanna take stuff with you. Hot tub was perfect and the view Of Mt Baker was beautiful.

Perfect Home for San Juans Getaway

From the moment you drive up to this secluded spot, you realize pictures don't do it justice. The hot tub is so much nicer than most and the fire pit is well-constructed and safe. The home itself is nicely updated and clean ... we cooked a couple of meals in the well-stocked kitchen and grilled one night. The rooms are comfortable and there are multiple gathering spots: upstairs living room, downstairs den, kitchen-adjacent table and the deck. The owners are very responsive and even offered to drop off a hair dryer (even though it was not listed as an amenity). The location is great ... not too far from the ferry terminal, Deception Pass or downtown Anacortes. Most importantly it is close to The Store ... a small, but great wine shop which happens to have the best muffins I have ever had. You get a lot for the price which is not burdened with a lot of additional fees you see so often. I highly recommend this home and would stay here again were we to return to the area.

Secluded home, Gorgeous views, Responsive owners

A wonderful get-away! Views over the trees toward the water make you feel like you're in a treehouse. The nighttime views of the sparkling lights are magical. The home was adequately stocked in kitchen, bedrooms & bathrooms. Lots of games supplied. Two nice TVs for movie nights, comfortable sofas. Comfortable beds and pillows, too. One toilet backed up and the owner was there within an hour to fix it - even left a heavy-duty plunger in case it happened again (it didn't.) The house was fully cleaned, sanitized and empty for 24-hours before we arrived. Definately find your way to the lake (a long walk there if you're a hiker, drive to the parking lot for normal people!) The lake hike is beautiful and the trails are well-maintained. Will be coming back here for sure!

We had a great time in Anacortes. The house is beautiful and even nicer than the photos. The only complaint from our friends was that there was no soundsproofing between the upstairs and downstairs, but what can you do. Overall, this place is amazing and it was a perfect weekend of relaxation. We even found our way to the lake despite getting lost the first time. Also, word to the wise, arrive before dark - the house is almost impossible to find unless you’re up for a bit of an adventure haha. Thanks again!

Great for the family holiday. We will keep this listing in mind for future gatherings. Please add more pots and pans though (with lids) - fortunately we only live 10 min away and could go home and get some. Also the time to open the door after inputting the combination was too short 👽 everyone loved the place and the Christmas tree added a festive note.

Relaxing lake house with a view

Overall, this property fit our needs well. The property managers were friendly. The property itself was clean and set up well. The kitchen was functional and the amenities were easy to use and comfortable. The view was good, although you have to look past the petroleum refineries (which some people might find interesting, I suppose). We saw plenty of shooting stars at night from the deck and the hot tub. It's a bit farther from the town--through some windy side roads and up a steep incline--which made it somewhat difficult to commute anywhere by bike and added 5 minutes to get anywhere of interest by car. If you're just looking for a relaxing retreat then this is the kind of property you'd like. We did have a few constructive comments: the downstairs bedrooms could use some better mattresses, and some things looked unfinished (like some electrical wall plates weren't installed downstairs and were instead sitting in a drawer). We weren't big fans of the size of the downstairs shower, either. In general, this property would be great with a few minor upgrades.
