About this cabin rental
Goss Lake vacation retreat! - Very nice 2 bedrooms and 1 bath cabin.
Any time of year is better at the lake - fishing in the spring, paddle sports in the summer or storm watching with a coffee and baileys - you always win at the lake!
This is a cabin with rustic charm - it is well appointed, cozy and has everything you need but is not a modern house.
The property also includes a small boathouse for play gear. The private dock allows for water sports and relaxation! Two houses are located on this property - your cabin is closest to the lake.
The lake is non-motorized (electric or paddle power only). It is stocked with rainbow and coastal cutthroat trout.
Beautiful Whidbey Island awaits you with this welcoming dog-friendly vacation home. You are right on Goss Lake, a very peaceful location that's still only a short drive from Clinton, Langley or Freeland. The house is very private - on the lake but set in the forest - ideal for enjoying all that Whidbey has to offer or just relaxing on the water.
The couch in the living room is a queen sofa-bed so the cabin can accommodate 6 guests but it is very cozy with 6 adults. It is better suited to 4 guests or 4 adults + children. We have had lots of rentals with 6 guests with no issues whatsoever but just wanted to mention this.
What's nearby:
It is only a 5 min walk away from the Putney Woods trail system - great for mountain biking, trail running, or hiking. Or it is just a short drive to the ocean with many beaches to explore.
The charming town of Langley is packed with shopping, dining, museums, and art galleries to explore. It also features its own beaches to experience thanks to Seawall Park.
Things to know:
Smart TV - Free WiFi
Roku - Netflix
VCR, CD Player, Nintendo 64
Lots of games, puzzles, books, lake toys
Washer / Dryer
Coffee / Tea / Hot Chocolate
Full kitchen with dishwasher
Canoe, deck chairs, fishing rods
Firepit
Dogs welcome!
There are not any stores near Goss lake - Freeland is the closest area for shopping and picking up essentials. It is only 4 miles and a 10 min drive away - the Payless grocery store has everything and the staff are very helpful and friendly.
*** Also, there is a soft tub at the cabin - we don't mention it in the listing description but yes I know there are pictures of it. The reason we don't mention it is that it is a fickle creature and prone to error. It does work almost all of the time and is super relaxing with an amazing view of the lake but every now and then it does not and it is hard to get someone in to service it these days. If your entire vacation is based on "having" a hot tub and it is a "must" item please book another property with a proper hot tub. We don't want to disappoint anyone in any way - thanks for your time and understanding!

Everything was perfect! The place itself was exactly what we were looking for - beautiful view, cozy inside, easy outdoor and local access, relaxing and quiet, hot tub AND a lake. Everything was perfect and we have it saved to come back this summer!

Love this little place so much will definitely be back! A few things to note for other guests: The host mentions the soft tub being fickle and it definitely is. We used it twice; the jets only work for like 5 minutes at a time and then it shuts off for about 30 minutes. The temperature stayed warm though which was most important.You can't really tell from the listing but this cabin is on property right behind a main house (I'm assuming the host's). We never saw or heard a thing, however just note that this isn't a remote cabin, it's more like a MIL unit logistics-wise. There are neighbors on each side as well although you can't really see much through the trees. The firepit is further down the back near the lake, which was nice since I felt like us talking wouldn't bother anyone, but just know that if you're looking to be secluded, loud, wild and free this is probably not the place. We weren't there to party tho, just relax and unplug, and we did just that. The VCR and N64 really added such a nice vibe; we went there to escape reality for a few days and stay off our phones and it was so perfect for that. Reminded me of my parents cabin in the Ozarks in the '80-'90s. We had such a lovely stay!!

Everything was easy, from check in to check out. Cabin had everything we needed and more. So peaceful and in a great location for everything in south Whidbey.

The setting of this property is lovely. We enjoyed the patio, the walk down to the lake, and the variety of equipment available for use on the water. These outdoor features made our time by the lake very enjoyable.Inside, however, the home felt dated and in need of some upgrades. The carpet and fixtures showed wear, the kitchen had limited counter and storage space, and the bathroom felt older as well. The hot tub was not working properly during our stay.Communication with the host was excellent leading up to the trip, but after checkout there were concerns raised about the condition of the property that we felt were not accurate. This created an uncomfortable ending to an otherwise pleasant trip.Overall, the outdoor amenities are wonderful, but updates to the interior and better communication would greatly improve the experience.
