The grounds are fabulous and the scenery is unmatched

August 2009

Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us. This is the kind of place that is great for unplugging from the crazy pace of city life. We needed this break! The grounds are fabulous and the scenery is unmatched. We hope to be back again.

Thanks.

What a beautiful home you have! Thank you for sharing it with us. The deer were a treat to have around. We look forward to seeing them every day. It is so quiet and peaceful and . The only complaint is that it was hot here. We are from Sacramento and we were trying to escape the heat.

This place is truly the reflection of Gudrun and Wayne's love of nature and interior design. Everywhere I looked there was something beautiful to discover. Thank you both for sharing!

We were here during record high temperatures in the area. There was always a cool spot on the yard or house. What a treat to be here during berry season.

It was great... I don't know where to start.

July 2009

It was great. I don't know where to start. I guess I'll start with the deer. I loved them. I gave them all names. The nicest deer was Prince. The rest are King, Ryan, Phillip, Andrew, Juliet and Jane. thides were great. We saw lots of starfish, small and big wing crabs. The hot tub was so cool!! The beds were so comfy and soft. The deers like birdseed and apples from the tree, so don't use it all in one day. There is a swing in the commons. face toward the ocean not the other way. I loved making smores.

I know that these ...experiences will stay with me the rest of my life

July 2009

Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous home with us! It was a refreshing break from everyday life that my family and I needed desperately. When we first arrived, we ran around the house and gardens squeeling with delight as we discovered the beautiful views and the trails and nooks and crannies of the grounds. I had never been to the San Juan Islands before this vacation and I love it! I know that as soon as we leave I'll be itching to come back. I had never seen a bald Eagle before or fed Deer and I know that these previously untried experiences will stay with me for the rest of my life. The deer were so sweet and let us pet them. I had no idea their antlers were so soft! We roamed the beach at low tide and my little brother and I saw tons of starfish and crabs.

Also, this past week that we were here, I turned 18! I can't think of a better place to spend my 18th birthday. The Beachwood has just been absolutely awesome and we can't wait to come back!!

We made a fire and played guitar around it, and it was so much fun!

July 2009

What an amazing place to stay! We made a fire and played guitar around it, and it was so much fun! We also biked around the island each day. It's simply beautiful here. Each day here there seemed to be a new group of wildlife greeting us; including deer, raccoons, bunnies, birds and the list could go on.

Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!

Thank you Beachwood for providing us with warmth, inspiration, creativity and love. The daily viewing of Mt. Baker across the water was enjoyable.

We enjoyed an abundance of home cooked meas. The deer (Marvin and Bob) were friendly and cute. We are very thankful for all of Master Wayne's help with keeping our fire burning and our bodies warm.

A magical getaway from the hectic pace of schedule and routine in the city.

October 2008

A magical getaway from the hectic pace of schedule and routine in the city. The grand crackling fire served as the perfect cozy backdrop for a good book and glass of wine. Sunshine, rain, mist, wind--all the weather elements only added to the refueling "moment" we had here.

Thank you for prividing the space for coming back to balance and some great laughs!

A perfect interlude.

Mt. Baker rising through mist and broken cloud on a sunny Saturday morning. A bald Eagle skimming the glassy surface of a calm sea. The incense of fir and moss floating on the breeze. And silence all around. A perfect interlude. Thanks for sharing this world and your comfortable home.

We 4 friends from high school take a trip every 2 years. What a lovely home and area and view to relax with, and talk of old times. We loved the hot tub, the kitchen and the grounds. Just an absolute beautiful place. I hope we can come back sometime.
