Log Castle - On the Beach, Expansive Sound/Mountain View
Formerly a highly rated bed and breakfast, the Log Castle is now available for home rentals. Built with logs harvested from family property, the Log Castle is a warm and welcoming haven for your family and friends. Its eclectic design, stunning water views from most rooms, and beachfront location make it an ideal home base for your vacation. Enjoy the beach, with a wide sandbar, 2 small (kid) and 2 adult size kayaks for paddling, a raft for swimming, and miles of low-populated beach. If your timing is good, you can even watch whales surfacing in the bay just off the deck. The kitchen has been renovated, with stainless appliances, granite counter top, and a 180 degree water view. The large fireplace in the living room makes for a comfortable and cozy retreat. Miles of walking trails extend through the woods across the road. The charming village of Langley is a mile and a half away - a five minute drive or a walk along the beach - with shops, galleries, restaurants, and more. One highlight of the Log Castle is that the kitchen and two bedrooms are each in the eight-sided tower - try not to argue over who gets the top tower room with its phenomenal views. Fishing and swimming (especially when the tide has come in over a sunny sandbar) - make for wonderful family memories.
Bedroom 1 (main floor): Two sets of bunk beds (four singles) Bedroom 2 (2nd floor): Queen bed, plus queen sleep sofa in adjacent sitting room Bedroom 3 (2nd floor tower): King bed Bedroom 4 (3rd floor tower): Queen bed plus sleep sofa All bedrooms have private en suite baths
Kitchen is fully equipped with dishes for 14. The dining table - a great conversation piece made from a base cut of a log harvested in the 1920s - seats eight comfortably and ten if you're good friends.
Wifi and cable are provided; cell phone reception is adequate but not ideal in all areas of the house.
A charming one-bedroom cottage just steps down the hill is now available for rental, if additional sleeping space is needed. It can be rented independently or, if available, in conjunction with the Log Castle. See more information at vrbo.com/4360509.
There is an attached owner occupied apartment, so we can answer any questions or address any issues you may have either in person or by text. Also a 10:00 pm quiet time is requested.

We have stayed here several times, and love the uniqueness of the house as well as the views and the beach. We always enjoy a relaxing week at the log castle!
We could not have found a better location, better hosts, better home, better overall features at the Castle Cabin. We will definitely be returning for more family memories!
This log castle does not disappoint! All bedrooms have a bathroom which is great. Beds are comfy. View is stunning and household amenities are plentiful. Owners are always accessible. Highly recommend this stay!
This has become an annual tradition for a dozen of us that meet up every year and play board games for a long weekend. The house is fantastic, the views are beautiful, the hosts are wonderful; it’s just an all-around great spot.
This was my 2nd time staying here, and it was just as magical as the first! It was a treat to introduce my traveling companions to this slice of heaven. Lea and her husband are lovely people, and always helpful.
We spent a cool winter weekend on Whidbey Island and couldn't have picked a better place to relax and enjoy the cabin, views, and sealife that the Log Castle has to offer. The entire family loved exploring all the unique aspects of the cabin and property, discovering a number of very unique aspects of a hand built family cabin. It was an honor to have had the opportunity to stay here. Thank you.
We’ve been coming to the lot castle for the last 5 years and will keep coming back! The location is unbeatable, and the hosts are amazing! We’ll be back.
Loved it! Perfect house for our family of 7. Everyone was comfortable. The property was beautiful and amazing. Thank you for such great accommodations.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Log Castle! The layout was perfect for our two families. Every room had their own bathroom plus 1 extra! The kids were begging us to steal the tower bedrooms for themselves. They loved ringing the bell. 4 days later we were still discovering unique details about the house. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved exploring the beach and looking for seals. We loved being so close to Langley so we could explore town (eat at The Bravern!), visit the Langley Whale Center, hike the saratoga woods and find waterman rock, explore Double Bluff Beach, and so many more things!
We loved everything about our stay at the Log Castle: the communication with the owners, being greeted at the house when we arrived, the location, the house itself, everything. We went with a group of 4 adults and 5 kids (ages 7-9) and everyone loved it. We saw a grey whale swim past the house one evening and loved the noisy 15+ harbor seals on the nearby dock. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we could ask for.
I'm already discussing another trip back here with my parents and sister's famly, since I know they'll love it too.
Thank you so much for letting us staying at your magical abode.
The Log Castle is a special place. It was easily large enough and for 11 family members, 2-74 years of age. The home is uniquely beautiful, an art piece in itself, but comfortable at the same time. The kitchen is fully equipped, along with plenty of bedding. There was much to do at the cabin, swimming, hiking, beach walking, kayaking, and more. The town of Langley is very cute with lots of restaurants. There is
much to explore on the Island. Our highlight was watching a bald eagle that showed up on the beach each morning and watching the seals, especially when they came up on the raft.
We spent time at the log castle with family from out of state and it did not disappoint. I thought it had to be too good to be true that someone could have this many 5 star reviews, but once you meet Lea, you see why. She is sharing a magical piece of her family’s history and we were in awe by the beauty of it all. We loved the eclectic nature of the home and kayaking with the seals was incredible. The home feels like it’s a world away, but you’re really close to restaurants and grocery store if needed! We will cherish our memories at the log castle forever. Thank you!
We had an excellent stay for the Langley Murder Mystery weekend. The house is exactly as depicted! It's super funky and one of a kind. Lea is a fantastic host, even going out of her way to notify us of an otter playing on the dock in case we missed it. Speaking of nature, you can't do better. We saw a whale, a huge troop of seals right outside the house, otters, eagles and herons. If you're looking for a family-centric getaway and want views, and nature, this is an excellent spot. Keep in mind, this is a tough spot for folks with mobility issues - lots of stairs and steep slopes. Beyond that, the house is clean, well-stocked and situated close enough to Langley to take advantage of town. We all agreed, we'd visit again.
You will never see a more original log house in your life. Worth staying here just for the house itself! The fact that it's right on the water with an incredible view is almost just a bonus!
Fully equipped huge kitchen. Three super comfortable adult bedrooms with bathrooms and a great bunk room if you have kids.
All the rooms have the most incredible views. Comfortable dining set up for a large group.
We were there in winter weather which was fun but I can see how it would be a fantastic summer destination as well.
Everything was absolutely perfect with our stay. The hosts met us when we checked in which was very handy. They had messaged us about opening the front door. When I saw the email I thought , good grief, I think I know how to open a front door but it was actually a good thing they met us there. There are many unique and interesting aspects to this wonderful home and opening the front door is one of them. Go figure!
Would happily stay there again.
Our large group loved our stay at the log castle. It’s such a unique place and was absolutely beautiful. It was well equipped and we had a fantastic stay.
Our stay at the Log Palace was fabulous! It was our second time staying there yet there were new details noticed in the incredible architecture. The host is super friendly and answered questions about how her father was able to build this building almost single handedly.
We loved our time at the Log Castle. It was such a unique place, and the views!! We used the kayaks, and the kids loved playing on the beach with the sand toys. The kitchen is very well stocked for preparing meals. The hosts were great, and communications and instructions were prompt and clear. We only stayed 2 nights, and we can’t wait to return for a longer stay!
We enjoyed our stay so much! Lea was very responsive and helpful and the castle is just absolutely amazing! We couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect place to have a moms and kids weekend!
Me and my friends thoroughly enjoyed staying at log cabin. There is so much to do to keep yourself busy, and your so close to the little town of Langley.
