218 - Rhythm Waters

Rhythm Waters is a fantastic rental for a few close friends or a couple. The property is gorgeous and relaxing. The hot tub was clean and super relaxing with the view of the pond and surrounding garden.. It was nice to chill out for the weekend then work from there for the day on Monday. Cell reception was only so-so, but the internet connection was good enough to stream movies and for the work day too.

Nothing short of "blissful" would describe our stay at Rhythm Waters this April. The amply stocked house was absolutely gorgeous, comforting and immaculate. Had we done nothing else but stay inside this serene home I would have felt like I had a real vacation. Only 2 complaints... as others have noted, the water smells and tastes noxious -- an understatement -- bring bottled water! Secondly, the mattress downstairs is unforgivably horrendous. I could feel the springs pushing through and could not sleep well. I will not return until it is replaced. Even so... sheer bliss, Rhythm Waters.

My husband and I decided to stay here for a weekend trip over on Whidbey Island. It was the perfect weekend escape. The house had all we needed. My only recommendation is to upgrade the mattress downstairs, as it was very uncomfortable. I would consider coming back, perhaps with a bigger group. The house had plenty of room for more than a couple.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house had everything we needed, and the setting is serene and gorgeous.

I chose Rhythm Waters as a getaway trip for myself and my partner after a very busy year. We needed the seclusion and the amenities, which were all fantastic. But I want to give a special shout out for the property management team who addressed all of our concerns and quickly addressed an issue that cropped up on our final day there. We appreciate all of the help and would certainly stay again!

Manager's Response

The location and gardens were beautiful. We really enjoyed the fireplace, fire pit and hot tub. The house was clean, spacious and there was plenty of space to cook and eat meals. The manager was helpful and quick to respond.

Manager's Response

Quiet and relaxing getaway. The property was wonderful and all of the big windows in the cabin offered amazing views.

Manager's Response

Absolutely love this property. The cabin and yard were lovely. The hot tub was a dream. The company is easy to communicate with and there is a book of local places to eat, amongst other things that are normally available when it's not a global pandemic. It was expensive with all the fees, but I would likely stay there again. There could be some improvements to lighting: there was some flickering and mixed warm and cool lights which sounds like no big deal but felt odd. And it was hard to see outside by the hottub and parking wasn't clear. Also, a place to hang towels would have been nice; we didn't find any hooks. Overall though, a wonderful stay.

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful time on whidbey island. The home was exactly as described. We got the most use out of the hot tub and lovely yard area. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would highly recommend.

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful three days in this beautiful, tranquil, zen garden. The house was as clean and peaceful as the surrounding garden. We will definitely be back.

Manager's Response

We enjoyed a great stay at Rhythm Waters. It was the perfect way to wind down after a busy summer.

Manager's Response

Perfectly located near the town of Langley & other area attractions. This home is amazing, not just inside but the grounds are exceptional. Pictures & descriptions won't do it justice. If your looking for a peaceful retreat but conveniently located to town this is the perfect rental.

Manager's Response

Wonderful location in Langley. Absolute peace and quiet with an occasional visit from deer.

Manager's Response

Really cool cabin in the woods - a great location. Cabin had a few quirks that made our stay less than perfect. The kitchen wasn’t as well stocked as we had hoped (no wine glasses or pot to make pasta). The sound of the koi pond pump was really loud as was the hot water pump in the bathroom. The lack of privacy with the bedrooms is why we didn’t feel this was a good match for our family.

Manager's Response

Gorgeous space. The view out the back with the ponds is breathtaking.

Manager's Response

It was peaceful place and relaxing weekend away. The landscape was inspiring. A little disappointed the pond appeared out of commission.

Manager's Response

Clear attention to landscaping - lovely to be amidst the trees. Otherwise a series of issues: hot tub not working when arrived, dryer broken and did not dry clothes, shower head spraying water everywhere and a slow repair time with some confusion on the manager's part for follow through on issues. There is no separation between the lower and upper floor of the house so no privacy inside the house. When sitting outside on the deck, there is always the drone of a pump for the pond element -- this interfered with the serenity of the well landscaped environment. The teapot was also broken - while it would heat, the lid had been damaged and so you had to fill it by filtering in the water through the spout.

Company has assured me that all the issues I pointed out have been fixed, or are going to be fixed. Not sure if that's true or not.

This house by far has been one of our most favorite houses we have ever stayed in!!! beautiful house with plenty of room for everyone! even though there was some snow and both creeks were frozen, we still had a great time staying in and enjoy the views! This is a place that I would love to come back in spring!!!

Manager's Response

Tucked away this was the perfect place to stay for a weekend getaway. Driving up the driveway we didn't realize in fact how secluded the property was. But it was the perfect spot in the woods. Rooms were comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed and the hot tub was a real treat. Would love to come back and enjoy in the summer but perfect for a winter getaway!

Manager's Response

My friend and I had a wonderful experience. The time went by so fast. My dog seemed to enjoy exploring a new place too. I was only inconvenienced by the lightning in my downstairs bedroom.

Manager's Response

The nicest little getaway spot with the absolute loveliest landscaping ever. This fat cat was lazy and content to spend a couple nights in this place. So lovely. Book a stay right meow.

Manager's Response

Wow. What a treat. The pictures just don't do this place justice. It is an amazing property behind the smaller studio place. The house is totally private. What a jem of a property. Kitchen and living room are open and have amazing views. There is an amazing deck to sit and drink coffee or eat dinner on. There are many places in the gardens to sit and relax as well. I'd definitely love to stay here again.

Manager's Response

a lovely, relaxing experience

Manager's Response

This place is absolutely amazing! Top notch! We were sad to leave it!!!! While you’re there make sure to check out Coupeville and Deception Pass!
Just as an FYI to managers, dishwasher was not working and there were not enough plates and bowls for 6 people. These things are an oversight and fixable.
Other than that I give it 5 stars for sure!!!

Manager's Response

Have stayed here before and would live here if I could. The design of the house and the property is something to behold. The appliances are top notch.

We stayed here for a few days after our wedding as a mini honeymoon before our cruise. We absolutely loved it! It was very relaxing and was a nice escape from the world and stress from a wedding! We loved every minute of it and would love to go back soon! Was very clean and presentable and in a great location! Would recommend it to anyone!

Manager's Response

The house was great but the property was beyond magnificent . We were there to destress and heal after a traumatic year and it worked. Love all the critters too. My only complaint was to get all of my luggage and cooler etc was a long trek since you cannot get the vehicle to the house

Manager's Response

Great location, just as described,beautiful grounds, nice for extended family to attend wedding in Langley. Do be aware that it is an open floor plan,and that voices travel, but it was great for our family to all stay together, loved having the hot tub, grill and beautifully landscaped property to relax at.

Manager's Response

Heaven on earth

Manager's Response

My family and I had a great time at this location. The cabin is very nice and the rate is fair. The hot tub overlooks the pond full of koi fish along with some grass to play around in. We will definitely be considering this property again in the future. Thanks for the awesome weekend.

Manager's Response

Beautiful home 10min away from ferri. Very secluded, but beautiful gardens and ponds. It was scary at night in the living room because it is all glass windows. Also the fronts were very loud outside the master bedroom. Overall great place will definitely be back. Also it best to arrive in the daytime it is very dark.

Manager's Response

This was the most amazing property! The grounds were astonishing and we had it all to ourselves. The koi ponds were awesome and the trees!!! Wow...we opted to spend our days there rather than going into town - I didn't even miss the beach!

Manager's Response

Love this place! Will definitely stay there again. One flaw- water had a strange smell to it- assuming because it was well water. Definitely not drinkable and still felt like I needed a shower after showering. ? But- overall an amazing, relaxing getaway. We were even greeted by deer every evening.

Manager's Response

We booked a weekend to get out of the city and truly unwind and boy did Rhythm Waters deliver! The grounds were beautiful. The house was modern and clean inside. Nice amenities - gas stove, fridge, stocked with nice kitchenware and washer/dryer. It was just the 2 of us but would've been comfortable with another couple. We kicked ourselves for not booking another night. We'll be back for sure.

I would suggest adding blinds to the main living area / kitchen...

Manager's Response

Better than the pictures can show. Stunning landscape, gorgeous design. Great appliances. I did not want to leave

Beautiful gardens and setting! Perfect location for a couple and guests that are comfortable with semi-privacy (loft opens up into bedroom so you can hear noise from loft to bedroom and vice versa). Furnishings are comfortable and full windows facing garden brings the outside in. You definitely feel like you are on vacation. Very close to town with shops and restaurants. I would recommend adding a piece of furniture in the bedroom that allows you to store clothes and towel hooks in the bathroom. We would definitely go back and recommend to others.

We loved, loved, loved Rhythm Waters for our Thanksgiving get-away. Gardens glistening with frost, architectural features, beautiful landscaping, koi ponds, curved gravel pathways, and meditation seating together created a tranquil, relaxing setting. We enjoyed the visits by Heron, Deer and Squirrel.
The kitchen and dining area were superb for cooking and eating our Thanksgiving feast. Everything was at our fingertips. What a marvelous ambience with soaring ceilings, winding staircase, and windows to our private storybook setting! We appreciated the heated cement floors when the temps dipped to freezing. The two-sided gas fireplace is attractive, and we spent many hours mesmerized by the flames. Daily soakings in the hot tub on the deck were a joy.
Whether you seek a private vacation destination or a base for exploring Langley, this house is ideal! We stayed four nights and did not want to leave this peaceful haven. We will return!

We only stayed for a long weekend, but really enjoyed our time here. It's a short drive to both the Clinton ferry terminal and downtown Langley, but set far back from the main road for privacy. The property is very well maintained. There is another rental property adjacent to this one. No one was there during our stay, but be aware that you may have neighbors very close by.

We had a wonderful time at this great and peaceful property. The ponds and grounds are amazing, and it was lovely to just sit and relax throughout the weekend.

The only downsides were the smell of the water (rotten eggs), and the noise you can hear from any room in the house (open space with no privacy in master bedroom). These were the only reasons for the lower rating.

If it was one or two couples, we would definitely stay again. But it's a little overwhelming with a larger family.

We got married here in 2010, and enjoyed returning to celebrate five years! :)

We had the best honeymoon ever at this house. It was exactly what we were looking for, and could not be a more exceptional property.

It is very secluded, and you feel like you are a million miles away from anything (actually downtown Langley is an easy 2 mile walk). We saw deer almost every day, and a baby fawn a couple of times.

We really can not say enough about the property. I am already trying to figure out a way to visit again.

We recently had a family BBQ at Rhythm Waters and stayed for 4 nights. The accommodations were ample, the property was by far the most beautiful place we could have chosen to spend time with family and friends alike. Our guests raved on and on about how peaceful, gorgeous, and serene the venue was. We plan to make this place a yearly part of our family functions. It is truly Heaven on Earth!

I knew the first time I visited here that I would return. This is the most peaceful place on earth, I love all the nooks and crannies you can escape to right on the property. I've been here three times and will return again!

My fiancee and I had a relaxing and enjoyable retreat with our dog at this property over President's day weekend. The property is special and has a soulful quality. The house and gardens are fantastic and obviously well-cared for, and the welcome for dogs unmatched. We had the good fortune to meet the owner who was very kind. We bever successfully figured out how to operate the entertainment center, but that was not the primary purpose of our trip and did not disappoint. We plan to return often. Those with mobility limitations should note that the house has one large bedroom on the main floor and a loft with two beds accessed by a narrow spiral staircase.

We had a great time. Our favorite part was the beautiful, private yard that we spent hours in. Our only issues were the wifi, which the literature said didn't need a password, actually did. The place is beautiful but the living room furniture was extremely uncomfortable, to the point that we piled the couch with blankets and we were still not comfortable. I would gladly go back, for as long as possible, and recommend this property to our friends & family, provided the furniture is replaced.

This house was the perfect retreat for me and my family. Very open, comfortable, and relaxing with the acreage, koi ponds, and hot tub. Exactly what I needed for our stay. I would definitely recommend this house for others!

We came here to celebrate our anniversary. After a hectic Summer, I was looking forward to a chance to unwind and relax. We were extremely pleased with house and its breathtaking setting. It is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are very well maintained. I would definitely recommend it. My only quibble is that the walls and trim in the house are a bit worn and could use a little TLC. Also, there is no place to hang wet towels and suits which would have been welcome in a house with a hot tub. Over all a very nice place!

We rented Rhythm Waters for a weekend wedding and found it to be a very special experience. The only small change I would recommend is to have clearer signage and lighting for the parking. Otherwise it was excellent as a place to have a quiet retreat for 2 or a wedding for many. The beautiful nooks and crannies and the loving landscaping were amazing.

Inspired design with all the comforts

Excellent property all around with one caveat - all open space with no privacy.

This was our first experience at rhythm waters. It is simply an amazing property and we loved every second of it! I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in a beautiful setting.

Truly enjoyed our family reunion here. Beautiful and serene escape into the arms of Mother Nature. Well maintained gardens. It was a truly healing experience just walking around in the gardens, watching the koi. Felt so much at peace. Surrounded by trees all around. Good sized hot tub.Well appointed kitchen and grill. The house has all standard amenities. Very beautiful and romantic view from the bedroom. Nice windows all around.The attic upstairs has another 2 beds with a balcony above the bedroom below. From every place in the house you can see lovely green trees.The bathroom could benefit from some attention ( shower door esp) which management was willing to look into. Very responsive and attentive management. Great place for a family getaway,a romantic getaway, also great for parties. Loved our stay here!!

The property is a beauty rarely found in rental homes. I would recommend it to anyone, with a few disclaimers. The beds are futons. The rental agreement states that a starter supply of toilet paper will be provided. 2 rolls. However the home is stocked with quite a variety of Kurig pods for your use! I beg the owners to loosen the purse strings on the paper supply's. Honestly, one pod costs more than a roll of paper. Thankfully, we brought our own supply. If the septic system is the reasoning, most people spending 300 a night, should be more respectful. We will highly recommend this lovely jewel, so painstakingly manicured to the height of perfection. Great place for family photos and the fountain at night is a most delightful surprise!

Rhythm Waters is a wonderful property with all the amenities you could ask for. The garden, deck, and pond/fountain are so peaceful; we loved listening to the sound of the running water at night. I'm pretty sure our dog loved it too. It's perfect for a romantic getaway for two.

I'm hesitant to say anything about this property because I want to keep it a secret! It was incredible and we will definitely be back.

My fiancee and I truly enjoyed our stay here.

The grounds are amazing and the heated floors feel nice underfoot in the winter. The hot tub is perfect and easily accessible from the bathroom and downstairs bedroom. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and the loft was a fun little addition. We spent three days watching media, soaking in the tub, cooking good food and enjoying each others company.

We will definitely be back. Maybe even to get married! The grounds are big enough to host a small ceremony and reception. In the summer months, it would be truly magical.

Everyting about this home is wonderful. Our two boys had a blast watching the Koi fish everyday and running around the grounds. The hot tub was super fun in the evening, even when it rained. The home is located near town and the BEST playground ever!! Loved it and I'm sure we will stay here again. :)
