Strong timber beams, warm wood interiors, stone fireplaces, softly worn leathers, gently faded rugs - the atmosphere of Loon Song Lodge will remind you of a classic national park lodge. This cherished home is only five years old, yet it’s filled with history. The wide plank wood floors were recycled from an old church, a carved horse was once the prow of a ship; there’s a totem pole artfully placed. Vintage side tables, dressers, bunks made from lodge poles, and benches at the dining table complete the quiet statement from the past.

There are new conveniences to enjoy as well, especially the large kitchen with good appliances and a central island with room for all to help prepare a meal. WIFI will keep you connected, and you can bring DVD’s to enjoy (but warning, no TV – find the Bar & Grill in town if you must watch the playoffs.)

Three spacious bedrooms are all upstairs. The master bedroom offers a king-size bed and en-suite bath with stall shower and a romantic soaking tub in an alcove. (But please note, this bedroom is very privately located up a separate flight of stairs, so the age and independence of children sleeping apart in the other two bedrooms should be considered.) The other two bedrooms are each equipped with a set of bunks – one queen bed up & one queen bed down in each room. These two rooms share a bath with a shower. There is also a powder room off the entry.

Loon Song Lodge is built on a sloped, medium bank waterfront (no beach access), so small children do require supervision. This home offers a private, quiet setting, but it's conveniently located within five minutes of the shops and dining spots in Eastsound.
