As you enter the Kinlands Big House, you'll be captivated by its thoughtful layout. The interiors seamlessly blend modern elegance with cozy charm, creating an ambiance that promotes serenity and calm. Sink into the inviting living areas, where plush seating and a crackling fireplace invite you to relax and rejuvenate.
The well-equipped kitchen, adorned with modern appliances and ample counter space, beckons you to indulge in culinary delights. Prepare meals at your own pace and savor them in the dining area, where the peaceful surroundings provide the perfect setting for shared moments and delightful conversations.
Each bedroom in the Big House is designed to envelop you in comfort and tranquility. Tastefully furnished and thoughtfully arranged, they offer a soothing retreat for restful nights. Organic Avocado mattresses and stone-washed linen sheets embrace you in luxurious comfort, ensuring a blissful slumber.
The natural beauty surrounding the property invites exploration and serenity. Meander through the garden, discovering hidden nooks to relax with a good book or simply bask in the peacefulness of the outdoors. The Kinlands Big House provides a sanctuary where you can rejuvenate your senses and reconnect with the beauty of nature.
Nestled in a serene location, the Big House offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life while remaining conveniently close to local attractions. Explore nearby trails that wind through pristine forests, meander through charming shops that showcase local craftsmanship, or savor a delightful meal at one of the nearby restaurants. Whatever your desires, you'll find them within easy reach.
As our guest, you'll have access to the entire home, providing ample space for relaxation and enjoyment. Please note that the owner's closet, located off the laundry room, is not accessible and will be locked during your stay, ensuring your privacy and comfort.
You're also invited to explore the front and side yards, where you can revel in the natural beauty that surrounds you. To maintain the tranquility and privacy of all guests, we kindly request that the backyard behind the cottage be reserved exclusively for cottage guests. This ensures that each group can fully embrace the serenity of their own space.
For quiet walks and peaceful moments, the breezeway between the cottage and the big house serves as a communal space for both properties. We kindly ask that time spent in the breezeway is limited to ensure the privacy and tranquility of all guests.
When entering and exiting the property, we kindly ask that you use the front door. Ample parking is available down the drive and to the left, next to the barn. To ensure convenience for all guests, the two parking spaces in front of the cottage, under the rose arbor, are reserved specifically for cottage guests. We kindly request that these spaces are left unblocked during your stay.
We hope that your time at the Kinlands Big House will be filled with delight and serenity as you explore and enjoy the various spaces within our retreat. Embrace the peaceful ambiance, reconnect with nature, and create cherished memories in this idyllic sanctuary that invites you to unwind, recharge, and rediscover inner harmony.

About the host
Hosted by Jen Winter

Word weaver
Drawn to magical places
Listens for the Earth’s whispered secrets
Loves setting a scene to enchant kindred spirits
Thinks of life as an adventure, the course of which could be altered by a cupcake
Currently Appreciating: The wild and raw energy of Bow, Washington, which is home to House Kinlands. It’s a place to remember yourself, for dreams to come true, and for awakenings to happen. Plant your feet on the mossy ground and open your hands. Find what scares you, close your eyes, and invite it in.
Why they chose this property
Central to the Skagit Valley, this is the perfect place if you’re wanting to explore the area's local attractions such as Samish Bay, Deception Pass, Oyster Dome Trail, Chuckanut Drive, Larrabee State Park and so much more (just ask us and we'll give you more recommendations!). Only a 25 min drive west to Anacortes and the San Juan Ferry. Go East towards downtown Mount Vernon, Burlington or head for adventure on the North Cascades Highway. North only 35 minutes to Bellingham and less than 2 hours gets you to base of the Mount Baker Ski Resort for world class skiing & snowboarding in the winter and hiking in the summer.
For those coming for nature and birdwatching, this is a great spot to see the birds year-round and bird migrations in the late fall and mid-spring. This valley is full of life from Herons, Bald Eagles, Gold Finch and Red Tail Hawks to coyotes, whales, alpacas, and horses. You'll also probably spot a rabbit, squirrel, or deer. We can’t wait to hear what you’ve been able to see. The Skagit Valley and beyond offers plenty of outdoor recreation including hiking, boating, biking, and all sorts of exploring. March & April are also great times to experience the massive fields of daffodils and Tulips with additional local events in April including the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, Skagit Farm, and Pint Roadshow.
Every Saturday starting April through October there are farmers markets nearby in Mount Vernon, Anacortes, La Conner and Bellingham. These markets have both locally grown foods and wares crafted by local artisans. In Mount Vernon there is a makers market one Sunday a month from April through October. Local events include the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in April, Race Week in Anacortes in June, the Highland Games in July, and Ski to Sea in Bellingham over Memorial Day weekend.
