Log Castle - On the Beach, Expansive Sound/Mountain View

Formerly a highly rated bed and breakfast, the Log Castle is now available for home rentals. Built with logs harvested from family property, the Log Castle is a warm and welcoming haven for your family and friends. Its eclectic design, stunning water views from most rooms, and beachfront location make it an ideal home base for your vacation. Enjoy the beach, with a wide sandbar, 2 small (kid) and 2 adult size kayaks for paddling, a raft for swimming, and miles of low-populated beach. If your timing is good, you can even watch whales surfacing in the bay just off the deck. The kitchen has been renovated, with stainless appliances, granite counter top, and a 180 degree water view. The large fireplace in the living room makes for a comfortable and cozy retreat. Miles of walking trails extend through the woods across the road. The charming village of Langley is a mile and a half away - a five minute drive or a walk along the beach - with shops, galleries, restaurants, and more. One highlight of the Log Castle is that the kitchen and two bedrooms are each in the eight-sided tower - try not to argue over who gets the top tower room with its phenomenal views. Fishing and swimming (especially when the tide has come in over a sunny sandbar) - make for wonderful family memories.

Bedroom 1 (main floor): Two sets of bunk beds (four singles)
Bedroom 2 (2nd floor): Queen bed, plus queen sleep sofa in adjacent sitting room
Bedroom 3 (2nd floor tower): King bed
Bedroom 4 (3rd floor tower): Queen bed plus sleep sofa
All bedrooms have private en suite baths

Kitchen is fully equipped with dishes for 14. The dining table - a great conversation piece made from a base cut of a log harvested in the 1920s - seats eight comfortably and ten if you're good friends.

Wifi and cable are provided; cell phone reception is adequate but not ideal in all areas of the house.

A charming one-bedroom cottage just steps down the hill is now available for rental, if additional sleeping space is needed. It can be rented independently or, if available, in conjunction with the Log Castle. See more information at vrbo.com/4360509.

There is an attached owner occupied apartment, so we can answer any questions or address any issues you may have either in person or by text. Also a 10:00 pm quiet time is requested.

From the very beginning of our stay it was magical. The front entry all the way down to the water was a Northwest paradise for our family vacation. Truly one of a kind memory.

Log Castle

Our family had a wonderful stay at the Log Castle. It was great for the kids to play and for the adults to relax. Lea was a warm host and even made us pies from the berries we collected from her berry plants.

Best family summer house ever!

The Log Castle is a special place. It was easily large enough and for 11 family members, 2-74 years of age. The home is uniquely beautiful, an art piece in itself, but comfortable at the same time. The kitchen is fully equipped, along with plenty of bedding. There was much to do at the cabin, swimming, hiking, beach walking, kayaking, and more. The town of Langley is very cute with lots of restaurants. There is much to explore on the Island. Our highlight was watching a bald eagle that showed up on the beach each morning and watching the seals, especially when they came up on the raft.

Such a magical place

We spent time at the log castle with family from out of state and it did not disappoint. I thought it had to be too good to be true that someone could have this many 5 star reviews, but once you meet Lea, you see why. She is sharing a magical piece of her family’s history and we were in awe by the beauty of it all. We loved the eclectic nature of the home and kayaking with the seals was incredible. The home feels like it’s a world away, but you’re really close to restaurants and grocery store if needed! We will cherish our memories at the log castle forever. Thank you!

Great weekend away

We spent Memorial Day weekend here with a few families. It was a perfect spot. Easy beach access and we could always see what the kids were up to from the house. We hiked every day on the trails, walked the beach, and had a wonderful time overall. Hosts were very personable and great to work with. Thanks

Best VRBO stay I've ever had

We loved everything about our stay at the Log Castle: the communication with the owners, being greeted at the house when we arrived, the location, the house itself, everything. We went with a group of 4 adults and 5 kids (ages 7-9) and everyone loved it. We saw a grey whale swim past the house one evening and loved the noisy 15+ harbor seals on the nearby dock. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we could ask for. I'm already discussing another trip back here with my parents and sister's famly, since I know they'll love it too. Thank you so much for letting us staying at your magical abode.

Beautiful

Such an interesting place to stay. The building was different from anything we had ever stayed at. It felt more like we were staying in a light house than a castle. We came in for a family wedding and stayed just a few days. The location of the home couldn't have been any better. It's right on the water and close to town.

A Magical Experience!

There almost aren’t adequate words to describe the experience of staying here. A stunningly beautiful property with many hidden surprises to discover, you (like us) won’t want to leave when the time comes. In addition to the seals, eagles and occasional whale, the property is beautifully landscaped. Property Managers were extremely pleasant and helpful. Highly recommended!

This was my second visit to the Log Castle. There are so many special aspects to it! It makes for a very unique, special gathering place. We enjoyed the large kitchen and dining room, chatting by the fireplace, kayaking with porpoises, comfortable sleeping arrangements, gorgeous sunrises and more.

Great home for our family vacation..disappointed to find a camera in a stuffed animal and one at the door..owner emailed saying she thought we had more guests than registered...I guess she was confused after spying on camera because we had exactly as registered...wish the camera had been disclosed..the kids loved the kayaks and beach..although beach is muddy at low tide... no hard sand..overall a good experience
