Our family enjoyed a September weekend at this property with fantastic lake views and easy water access for our boat and paddle boards. The hot tub was an excellent option to quickly warm up and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all of our meals. Would recommend this property for families who want to enjoy a quiet, relaxing time on Lake Samish.
