About this property

Goss Lake Getaway by AvantStay | Lakefront Escape

Introducing Goss Lakefront Getaway, a charming two-story haven with eighty feet of tranquil lakefront, a sandy beach, a private dock, and a kayak.

Step into the allure of Finnish tradition and unwind in the handcrafted wooden sauna after a refreshing swim in the Goss Lake waters (the lake is a hidden gem known for its year-round pristine swimming). Delight in an extra-large shower room with lavish overhead showers, making everyday rituals an indulgence.

Upstairs, two cozy bedrooms and a half bath await, while downstairs unveils another bedroom and half bath. Originally built by Finnish immigrants, this home's heritage is rich, having been cherished by a single family since 1968.

As the sun sets over the lake's glistening expanse, relish in the sight of eagles soaring and embrace the simplicity of life away from city buzz. Cell service fades, granting you respite (don’t worry, there’s a house phone available for emergencies), while robust WiFi and smart TVs cater to remote work and leisure.

Discover joy in every season with year-round sunsets, and be captivated by the allure of Langley, a quaint town just a short drive and 15-minute ferry ride from Seattle. Savor culinary gems, catch a movie at the Clyde, or explore the breweries and wineries of Bayview and Freeland. For nature enthusiasts, Putney Woods offers 600 acres of enchanting forest trails mere minutes away.

This is your haven to unplug, unwind, and reconnect with nature. Goss Lakefront Getaway invites you to a symphony of solace, an oasis for your Whidbey Island-bound group escape.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

Discover the allure of Whidbey Island, where tranquility meets captivating landscapes. Embraced by the Puget Sound, this paradise invites group travelers to unwind on sandy shores and explore nature's wonders. Quaint villages add to the island's charm, each with a unique character. And when it’s time for adventure, outdoor enthusiasts can embark on adventures from Deception Pass to Ebey's Landing.

Great location and getaway

We only spent two nights but really enjoyed the weekend break. Quiet location and the internet was surprisingly good so we could stream a movie with no issues. Yes there were a few spiders and the cell reception was non-existent but that was our goal. We love stopping by Langley and Freeland so this location was perfect. We did manage to be sucessful with our trout fishing which was an added bonus. Only improvements I could see would be to do some work on the shower so it doesn't leak water and leave a knife sharpener because those knives were as useful cutting meat as a butter knife.

I'd Stay Here Again

Lovely location on a quiet, gentle lake. You can swim, canoe, kayak, or float. We even saw a couple of people rowing although the lake is too small for serious sculling. The property is in a secluded area that's great for getaways. The house only has one shower on the lower floor, but it's big and can handle multiple guests. Overall, I'd give it a 4.5 Star rating.

Perfect Place to relax

If you're looking for the perfect place to relax and get some perspective on life, this is it. If you're fussy about every little detail, maybe this isn't. The awesome view, the privacy, the sauna, comfortable beds, great wood burning fireplace, all the important things are here. It's very rural, so as you might expect, the decks were covered in leaves, pine cones, broken branches, plus quite a few cobwebs throughout the house, things we read other renters complain about but don't bother us. We've rented a lot of VRBO homes, and this was one of our favorites. A little more regular cleaning would make it truly perfect but even without it, we'll be back for sure.
