265 - Bayview Together Farm

Good
Modern kitchen
Nice laundry

Not so good
Lack of handrails on stairs to laundry and between landing and second floor
Steps on stairs too slick for stocking feet – renter fell on the stairs injuring back and wrist
Driveway needs maintenance on sloped area, tough on smaller cars
Burned out light in downstairs bedroom by bathroom
Funky smell to pillow or mattress in downstairs bedroom by bathroom
Inadequate lighting in downstairs bedroom away from bathroom
Could not get TV to work in downstairs bedroom by bathroom
While not an expectation, there were filters for the coffee maker. Turns out that the filters were for a 4 cup maker while the actual coffee maker was a 12 cup model.

Great stay by all! Great kitchen facility.

We had a great outing experience with friends in this property. Very clean property and well equiped with all the essentials. Located in a very quiet place sorrouinded by trees and herds of grazing cows. What a wonderful vacation experience we had. I would highly recommend this to any group of friends or families who wants a stay outsise the noise and hustle of towns

This is a great house, perfect for a large family gathering. It was just as expected from the website.

Spacious, stylish and great views. Big double kitchen and laundry - great place for events!

We had the greatest Whidbey vacation at Bayview Together Farm last week; this house was perfect for our little family of two adults and two very small kids. The house is spotless and well-laid-out, and we especially appreciated the kids' toys and dishes. The large yard and neighboring cows and chickens were a total delight for our 2-year-old, and having the Goose right nearby (while still really feeling like you're staying on a farm) was so convenient. We will absolutely be back! Thanks so much, Tara Rentals.

My family had a wonderful and relaxing time in this modern farmhouse. The view overlooking the cow pasture was a delight. My two young children loved running around the yard, playing in the treehouse, and eating lunches at the large table in the house. We will be back.

Second time staying here. Love the house. Unlucky to coincide with a power outage this time. The fire place came in handy.

Manager's Response

Nice clean house and nice staff that I talked to. However, glad I didn’t have 10 adults as originally planned. There were 4 adults and a toddler in our group.
- thought ice maker was broke, but it was just too slow and couldn’t make enough for us. They brought us ice, that was nice..
- 3 bd rm upstairs, 1 bathroom in 1 bdrm. No common bathroom upstairs!
- Only 4 coffee cups. Kitchen utensils were scattered throughout the drawers.
- they should replace the little kid games ect. What a bunch of ****..
- door code never worked. Luckily a worker arrived when we first got there and he let us in. Had to call to get a door code..

Don’t think I’ll be renting this place again. Just not setup for 10 guests..

Relaxing and beautiful.

Great house for a big family to stay in the same place. Giant great room. Hide-a-bed could have been real bed. Nice kitchen. Close to the stuff we had to do. Very close to farmers market and breakfast places/ coffee shops. Grocery store is across the street. Worked great for our weekend away.

We loved the location - farm beautiful. It was also convenient to grocery stores and Langley.

Manager's Response

Great location, close to groceries and restaurants, but private and beautiful. Would love to come back!

Manager's Response

We will be back! The home was simple and beautiful. The rooms are all clean, open, and welcoming. The views are expansive and peaceful. Thank you!

Manager's Response

The house was excellent, super beautiful and well kept. It slept everyone comfortably and the kitchen was incredible! We will be coming back!

We were initially worried we would be too far from sites and attractions but this home was perfectly located to South and Central Whidbey. Easily accessible to Langley, Freeland, the Bayview Farmers Market, Joe's Pizza - just to name a few. The Goose Gourmet Market has excellent selection and reasonable prices for supplies and is close by. We loved the layout - three bedrooms up, with two twin beds in one room for the kids, one twin and a crib for in another and a master. The fourth bedroom is on the main floor and was ideal for my mom who doesn't handle stairs well. The "fifth" bedroom is a pullout couch/exercise room with some dumbbells and an elliptical trainer. The finishes and design are to die for. We loved watching the cows come home nightly and gazing out over the fields from the ample bay windows. Our kids loved tearing around the property, the fire ring, climbing the apple trees. A truly memorable stay. We will be back!

It was a beautiful rural setting, the house is well laid out, with a nice open-floor plan. The kitchen, laundry, and bedroom set-up is well-planned for a large group. We would absolutely stay here again!

Manager's Response

This was the most beautiful home to stay in. Get up in the morning and see the beauty of the bay as you drink your cup of Coffee. It was so relaxing and large enough for our whole family to be together in one house. Loved it!

Manager's Response

Waking up to crisp clean air, and beautiful sunrises as we looked out over lush green pastures to see the majestic mountains in the distance was such a wonderful treat each morning. The house was clean, and very simple, yet had a warm homey feeling from the moment we walked through the door.
The house has 5 bedrooms which are situated so that everyone had their own space, but we could gather together in the spacious kitchen, living area, and the deck. The yard is well-maintained and the kids could run around freely and enjoy the outdoors. It was fun to see some wildlife like rabbits, and squirrels roaming around in the yard.
The kosher double kitchen was great, since we had many different diets to consider within our family. The laundry facility was a great bonus since we were staying for over a week.
If you're looking for a great vacation farmhouse, this is it. I can't wait to stay there again.
