Perch - Rhododendron Loft: Cozy Getaway, Historic Reserve!

Welcome to Rhododendron Loft–a slice of Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve and local history! Unwind in this secluded, peaceful 2 bed/2 bath loft, nestled in ~5 acres of forest. Freshly decorated, tons of natural light, high ceilings, and surrounded by trees–you will love this bright and cozy loft. Perfect, central location from which to explore the island–just 5 minutes drive to the historic waterfront shops and restaurants and 15 minutes to city conveniences. Fun fact–this property was part of the original holding of one of the first settlers of Coupeville and had been in the previous owner's family for 5 generations. We hope to honor that history by sharing the acres of protected Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve along with our local finds and touches with our guests. We are constantly researching, curating and updating the home as we adventure and explore more ourselves. This is a two bedroom, two bath, two story single family house that is around 1500 sqft.

The passes are low and loud, a deep roar you feel as much as hear. Not daily, usually weekdays only, but the Navy's schedule is unpredictable and can change without notice. Not ideal for guests or pets sensitive to loud noise. • Cell service is spotty in the area but enabling Wifi calling & texting will help! Wifi is the fastest available on the island. Great for most entertainment and light working needs but if you have specific high speed requirements for work, please consider a hotspot or similar alternatives • This property has two separate houses (Rhododendron Loft and Island Hideaway) on the property and this listing is for Rhododendron Loft.
