Our family was very fortunate to find this lakeside home on Goss Lake for a wonderful week on Whidbey Island last summer.
The house is so comfortable and welcoming!
Everything was very clean. The view of the lake from the large deck was very relaxing.
While the bedroom on the main floor cannot be shut off from the living area, it is at the end of a hallway, giving the right amount of privacy for grandparents who enjoy being awakened by the family. The downstairs with private 2nd bedroom and futon in the family room area is perfect for parents and kids.
Everyone greatly enjoyed the lovely level lawn area and the path down to the dock and canoe.
All the amenities were there - great kitchen, large family eating area, lovely deck, laundry, nice bathrooms!
We defined hope to stay at the lake chalet again!

My family of four loved our stay on Lake Goss in this lovely lake view cabin. Access to the lake by our own private dock complete with row boat, the mai loving space is nice and open with ole t of light. We loved the wide, partially covered deck and fire pit. The bathrooms are clean and in good shape, with strong water pressure in the shower, There are only two bedrooms, so my son slept on the lico g room couch; he did t like the pullout sofa in the basement, Nice to have the TV in the basement by ping pong table, Towels and sheets were nice, suggest you bring your own pillows, and kitchen could be updated, but everything works.

This was a great house. Be aware the master bedroom is not really private (no door). I'd say our only negative was not being able to use the rowboat. It had a sign saying there was a hole in it. That would have been fine if we hadn't assumed it would be there to use. I'd recommend at least removing the boat so there was room on the dock.
Manager's Response
Thank you for your review! We want to apologize for any inconveniences you encountered during your stay. Unfortunately the row boat wasn't able to be switched out prior to this stay, but has since been switched out with a new boat. And yes the master bedroom is an open living concept without a door as stated on the description. Thank you for staying with us and we hope you can return in the future!

A true getaway. This would be a perfect place for two couples to spend a week getting away from it all. Large, open floorplan with comfortable furniture well placed. The two of us were only on the island for a wedding, so we were only there two nights, and gone most of the time - what a waste. We both thought that we should really take a week to spend there hanging out with friends.

We had the most amazing 3 generational family vacation at Goss lake! The house is absolutely gorgeous, spacious, comfortable, well stocked, and wonderfully clean!!
We woke up to spectacular sunrises in the morning and the moon shining on the lake in the evening. It was so much fun to see what animals would be roaming in the yard each day. We saw deer, birds, bunnies, fish jumping, beautiful dragonflies down at the lake, etc. There was something to do for everyone... relaxing on the comfy couch taking in the lake views, sunbathing on the deck, horseshoes, ping pong, fishing, swimming, boating, bbq’s on the deck. At the end of the evening, we’d all gather around the spacious/comfy couch upstairs and watch a movie using the movie projector that we brought with us. (They have a tv in the downstairs living room).
Many thanks to the owners for creating and offering such a beautiful vacation home and location. And, thank you Tara Vacations for being such a pleasure to do business with.
We would all love to come back!
Many blessings...

Everything about the house is perfect. Big kitchen/living space with incredible views of the lake. Futons and couches for extra sleeping capacity. Beautiful second floor deck where we ate breakfast and dinner daily. Tons of shade trees providing relief on the warm days. Dock for swimming, row boat for exploring, fire pit for s'moring, ping pong table for gaming, I could go on and on and on. Oh and I almost forgot to mention the family of eagles that perched in the front yard tree almost every night at sunset. Goss Lake is a truly magical place and we cannot wait to book this incredible house and do it all over again next summer.

We love this chalet on Goss Lake! For the past several years we have met with friends on Whidbey Island because it’s a convenient location from where we both live. We catch up, eat great food and have lots of laughs and create wonderful memories. This is the perfect place. Clean, beautifully furnished and comfortable. We will meet ther next year if it’s still available!

Peaceful most of the time. The septic alarm went off a few times, once in the middle of the night, not so peaceful!
Loved the location....better patio chairs would make it more relaxing when enjoying coffee and the lake view!
The row boat wasn’t in good shape, actually not user friendly due to being in bad shape.
Beautiful home. The oven did not work, otherwise it was well cared for.

My family and I stayed at this great lake house for five days and loved it! The house itself is beautiful and the location is stunning and private (the pictures do not do it justice at all). We loved the deck that overlooked the water and spent many afternoons playing on the *warm* lake. The only thing that could have been better was the deck furniture- it was fairly minimal and not ideal for spending long evenings enjoying the setting. Otherwise, the house was perfect!

This is the second year we have stayed at Goss Lake Chalet, and we enjoyed it even more this year. The house is beautiful, very clean and comfortable. The beds are really comfortable. The setting is very peaceful. The house has a great deck and a lovely view of the lake. There are many activities close by including wine tasting and a farmer's market. The row boat and dock are a great addition. I recommend you bring your own life vests. The one quirky thing about the house is that the master bedroom doesn't have a door and there is also a window in the bedroom wall overlooking the living room. This was not an issue for us, but could be for others. I highly recommend this house and am looking forward to our next stay.

We figured this would be a great place to stay and we were right. The location is perfect on Goss Lake, removed from the traffic noise yet not too far away from grocery & other stores. The home is very clean and beautifully crafted. The kitchen is well equipped, the living area is cozy, and the beds are comfy with nice pillows. We spent most of our time on the deck and would have enjoyed a couple of lounge chairs out there to relax our head on, but we enjoyed it just the same. The home is completely private, just like the picture shows. No other houses can be seen unless you look across the lake. It was nice to have our own private dock to fish off and swim from too. The walk around the lake is just under 2 miles, peaceful, and hilly; a nice workout. The internet service worked well but we had to walk uphill to the road to get a cell signal. There is no cable so if you have to watch TV you'll need to watch a movie on DVD. We would love to come back and stay longer next time.

Beautiful home with a walls of windows overlooking a quiet lake

When entering the house, my first impression was, "Wow". The space is very open, and the wall-to-ceiling windows look out onto tall pines and the lake. The home is all warm wood, which is in excellent shape. The windows are high quality, and most can be opened. The place was so comfortable and beautiful that it was hard leaving it. We had a mother deer and her 2 fawns visit the property every morning. The available rowboat is very sturdy and safe, and we used it every day, sometimes to just paddle out to the middle of the lake and sit in the sun.
The pingpong table in the basement, which is also open to the outside with its floor-to-ceiling windows, was used often by us. The place was perfectly clean, the kitchen was open to the living area which made it easy to cook in, the beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms had high-end fixtures and showers with a 3rd half-bathroom near the living area and beautifully decorated! We had a wonderful time with our 8 yr. old granddaughter who loved swimming in the lake. This is the most beautifully designed and crafted place I've ever rented! Hats off to the owner!

This was a 44th birthday get-away weekend for me and one of my besties, who flew in from Newport Beach, CA, to help me celebrate, and I couldn't have picked a better retreat for us!
This was a home-away-from-home in every sense of the word, but ten times better--comfortable beds, stunning views (the lake and bald eagles swooping by), amazing modern kitchen, cozy blankets, great "L-shaped" couch, and a gas fireplace that kept things warm while rain pelted the windows outside.
I would go back to this lakeside hide-away in a SECOND, and would encourage any & all to do so as well--like me, you won't regret one, single thing about it if you do!!
Manager's Response
So glad to hear you had a great getaway celebration with a birthday friend. This is a great home to watch the eagles. Thanks for your review and glad to hear you would love to come back.

The house is really great, with a better stocked kitchen than usual and better furniture than vacation rentals tend to have. The upstairs (main floor) bedroom is private but loft style, i.e. Has no door. Fine for me, but worth knowing. The only surprise (and maybe it's in the description, I might have missed it) is there's no cable tv, no internet, no phone and no cell coverage for ATT or Verizon. It turned out to be a nice break, but in other circumstances one could have wished at least for a phone.
Manager's Response
We're so glad you enjoyed the house and that the furniture and the kitchen supply met your needs. We have put in our description the fact that the upstairs bedroom has no door and is a private loft style bedroom (definitely worth knowing!). We have since installed WiFi. There is no cable, but there is a Wii. Cell coverage is spotty in this secluded area, but we have made sure to have WiFi at this location for that reason. Thank you for your review!
The house was so cozy and comfortable. We loved the location on the lake, the beautiful dock and the view. Would love to return soon!
