Nowak House - Lopez Island's One of a Kind Intimate Getaway

Though The Novak House is located at the south end of the island and slightly further away from Lopez Village, it’s natural beauty and how the owners facilitated their property made up for that distance. It’s a beautiful property with apple trees that can you pick and consume (I even had a first try at baking a fresh apple streusel!). What made our visit so special and pleasant were the owners and the property manager. So professional, friendly, gracious and pleasant to deal with. Nature is also at it’s best in this area with eagles, otters, etc. Great place!

Staying here is like living in a small, beautiful art gallery in a bucolic paradise. The location at the south end of Lopez is wonderful, with some of the most stunning hikes I've been on within a few minutes' drive. (I will note, if you have Verizon, plan on taking a break from reliable contact with the outside world as their service on the south end of the island is spotty.) The house has a lovely view, but the down side of of that wall of west-facing windows is the afternoon sun heating up the house. I found the fan provided very useful for cooling things down, and if you point it out the door, it helps keep the flying insects that love the fall fruit outside. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with, so I can definitely recommend for a quiet retreat or romantic getaway.

Would highly recommend staying in the Nowak House on Lopez Island. We were lucky enough to spend a full month living there and got to enjoy everything the house and island had to offer. One of our favorite memories was picking several pounds of strawberries being grown on the property's farmland.

If you’ve ever wanted to stay in a beautiful setting, surrounded by exotic art this is the place for you. Comfortable furniture, efficient kitchen and a lovely loft bedroom combine to make this a restful vacation spot, walking distance to beaches and trails.

The home was very clean & well equipped. The furnishings were comfortable and in good condition. The glass decorations made the home feel very high end. Would stay here again. Only advice is to grap a map of the island before or just after getting off the ferry. Expected to use phone for directions and island coverage is spotty. Wifi at home is fine.

Loved our time here. We had everything we needed!!

Loved watching the sunset and stargazing on the patio! The space is perfect for a weekend getaway for two! Manager was timely in responses. Place was tidy, but did have quite a bit of dust/cobwebs in the living and bedroom spaces. Would have loved a mirror that wasn't so high ( had to stand on a chair to get ready for a nice dinner out but laughed about it) Overall a lovely visit and one that won't be forgotten!

Great little house for a romantic getaway, very close to gorgeous Watmough Bay.

This property is quite unique architecturally (as the pictures show) and quite comfortable. It has everything you need to operate as a home away from home and is in a very quiet location. BUT, beware that the bedroom is a loft on the second floor and the bathroom is on the first floor. Also, at the time most people would be preparing dinner, the western sky reveals a hot sun that is both blinding and uncomfortably hot. Since there aren't any screens on any windows or doors and there are many hornets around due in great part to the house being situate just above a large field which contains an overgrowth of hay and a plot of raspberries, which are lovingly grown by the owner and shared with his tenants, you can't escape from the heat and/or the sun since there aren't any shades downstairs. Furthermore, the pictures do not reveal an unkempt property next to the house, which shows from the dining area, of a long ago abandoned and deteriorated boat and truck.

Stay here! It's a beautiful, quiet location on the south end of the island. Everything is modern and in great shape and working order, and it was thoroughly clean with no issues whatsoever. Fully stocked kitchen. Artwork is cool, and adds to the charm. Nice views and a quick drive to south end beaches. There is no cell service, so glad to have internet to send out mms messages from phone.
