Whether you're lounging on the deck and patio, soaking in the indoor hot tub, or simply rolling out of bed at sunrise, spectacular views of Deer Lake are everywhere at this beautiful, lakefront home in Clinton.
This three-story home enjoys 100 feet of no-bank waterfront and a private dock on the western shores of Deer Lake. It's the perfect place for taking out the provided watercraft (two kayaks, two paddleboards, a canoe, and a paddle boat), swimming, fishing, and glimpsing osprey and bald eagles as they dive for trout. The property is both serene and convenient to the best of Whidbey Island, with the Clinton Ferry Terminal (three miles), downtown Langley (five miles), and Double Bluff Beach (nine miles) all within a short drive.
With east-facing views of the lake and the morning sunrise, the property's outdoor spaces are particularly memorable. Enjoy an elevated deck that's wonderful for morning coffee, a sheltered patio for summer barbecues, and a firepit where you can tell stories and roast marshmallows as the sun goes down.
What makes the interior so special are the stunning views on all levels, at every turn. The entry floor boasts a lakefront living room and an elegant, eat-in kitchen with double ovens, other stainless steel appliances, and an island that looks out over the water. A second complete living space awaits downstairs, including a second kitchen, a window-lined hot tub room, and a den with a fireplace, a bar, and a TV for movie nights.
Spend your evenings in the garage game room, playing Ping-Pong, pool, shuffleboard, and foosball. When it's time to turn in, the primary suite is upstairs on the top floor, offering incredible views, a walk-in closet, and a spacious en suite bathroom. There's also a lakefront sleeping loft on the same floor, one guest room on the main floor, and two guest rooms downstairs. A private laundry room is on hand as well.

A nice sizable house for a large family gathering
A good sized house and a good location. There were some aspects of the listing that were not explained well, like that one of the main "bedrooms" is actually the main living room (with the television) for the house. Also, the house is on a septic system so it would have been helpful had that been communicated in the listing and house instructions as water usage around the house needs to be staggered (think like not everyone can shower in the mornings or there is a warning of septic overload). The house was very well stocked in terms of having kitchen supplies, but there was also evidence of mouse droppings in the kitchen. So all in all, a good vacation rental on a nice lake for a large group of people, but there are tradeoffs.

Disliked: Cleanliness
October 2023
The weather was great. The neighbors were really nice. The dock was nice and the kayaking was a blast.
Unfortunately, the rotting wood on the upper deck attracted hundreds of hornets that were constantly swarming the area and anybody who tried to hang out on it. There were mouse droppings in all the drawers, and around all of the cooking utensils, in both kitchens so we resorted to a lot of takeout food. There was a endless supply of huge black flies coming from somewhere in the house and there were spiders and webs on the inside of most of the windows. For what we paid we were expecting the property to be better maintained.

Pluses & Minuses, Overall Good
PROS
Nice big house on the lake with dock.
Well appointed with appliances, dishes, utensils, glassware and linens
Comfortable pillow top mattresses
Large master suite with beautiful view
Lots of recreational equipment incl canoe, paddle boards, fishing poles
Fun fishing for small bass
With one exception, house is well suited for large family group
CONS
Had to have overloaded septic system serviced on our second to last day.
According to septic service company, system designed for 360 gallons/day for a 3 bedroom home serving 4-5 people; not adequate for 10 guests as advertised. We were a family group of 8 using facilities normally.
Encountered multiple mice and employed the four provided traps without success using peanut butter
Mouse dropping in cabinets and a drawer where mice used paper napkins for nesting material
Master bathroom not cleaned
CONCLUSION
On balance we had a wonderful time and would readily recommend the house for a delightful lakeside vacation but would hope the shortcomings are resolved.
Mice are to be expected in a rural setting and didn’t bother us too much. However given their expected presence, the house should be cleaned with that in mind.
The owner and Vacasa/VRBO should figure out how to manage the septic limitation, or inform guests, accordingly.
