New Upgrades April 2025 - Hot tub, home theater & design refresh! Just a 9 minute walk to Pritchard Beach & 10 minute drive to downtown Winslow. Lots of natural light and spacious rooms for your family - including your pup.

We bought this home more than 20 years ago when we were just kids and Mark got a job as a naturalist at IslandWood, the environmental education center on the island. Over the years, we have put a lot of love into it and are continually working to provide the most comfortable, relaxing stay we can for you.

While we have made many upgrades, like the new hot tub and home theater added in 2025, it is not Bainbridge Perfect, nor would we ever want it to be. We want it to be a nice, large, home-away-from-home where you feel comfortable letting your kids and dogs run around, and you can enjoy the sounds of birds in the morning and the quiet footsteps of deer in the yard. In other words, we want it to be the kind of place WE would want to stay with our family and our husky.

When there is sunlight here in the northwest, it will stream in the big windows in the comfortable living room. A fully-stocked kitchen connected to the dining room/sitting area makes entertaining easy and enjoyable. The living room opens to a back deck with a grill and table, and stairs descend into the 1 acre yard for the ultimate in indoor/outdoor living. Three bedrooms and the bathroom complete the upstairs space.

The SEMI-FINISHED BASEMENT is a kids dream with a full rec room featuring a foosball table, cozy couches and a 100 pull-down screen and projector (bring a laptop with an HDMI port to take full advantage of it). The fourth and fifth bedrooms, second bath, and a full size washer/dryer complete the downstairs. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BASEMENT BEDROOMS ARE IN THE BASEMENT AND ARE, AS A RESULT, NOT AS LIGHT AND AIRY AS THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOMS. They are comfortable and functional, and we have tried to set appropriate expectations, but some people still seem to be surprised.

You are minutes from the beach at Pritchard Park, as well as multiple open-space trails.

Hot tub:
* The hot tub is cleaned every Tuesday. The technician will go directly to the back yard and is usually finished within about 15 minutes.
* To adjust the temperature, press the up or down arrow.

Lawn maintenance:
The landscapers will mow the lawn and clear the walkways every other week. They usually try to do their work on weekdays and are usually finished within about 30 minutes.

    We had a terrific experience and I would recommend to a large family! This is a kind of cabin-feel get away in the woods of Bainbridge. It’s tucked away from the hustle of the quaint downtown but yet close to all you want to see. The Japanese-American Memorial was 5 min away and a no miss and the “across the road” view of Seattle is breathtaking and lots of ways to walk and enjoy the neighborhood. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and cooked a lot of meals for 9 people and house has a large dining table and deck to play games. Hot tub was a big hit- thank you! It’s was just the recharge and reconnect with nature we needed. Very helpful hosts and super responsive!

    Nice house in a nice neighborhood. We did wish there was someplace to hang clothing and open suitcase for easy accessibility in downstairs bedrooms

    We needed a property that allowed pets as my daughter was getting married the weekend we stayed. Her dog was the ring bearer and they live in the Green Lake area of Seattle. Owners were VERY responsive to our needs and issues. The main issue is the walkout basement has a musty smell and I recommended they use Damp Rid. The owners are also going to provide more kitchen towels as we only had one to use during our stay.

    Comfortable space for our family of 5 adults/4 kids and 2 small dogs! Kitchen could use a few more items for cooking that we didn't think to bring. Location is great for exploring Bainsbridge Island! The furniture is a bit run down.. beds were comfortable! We enjoyed foozball.

    Great location and loads of space. A bit dated interior but totally functional for family. Downstairs is partially finished.
