Baby Island Lodge is the perfect setting for your family

vacation. Imagine a full-surround

garden mural gracing a large gathering room with an

antique and excellent upright grand piano and opening

to the front lawn and garden enclosed with an exquisite

vine covered lattice fence. A VCR movie collection, slide

projector and screen are housed in the large coat closet.

The sitting room is a warm deep red with a large stone

fireplace and wood pass through for convenience. Here

the house music system is located while volume is

controlled in three separate areas of Baby Island Lodge.

Enjoy sitting by the fire with a good book, a guitar or take

a nap on the sofa. There is a small eclectic library, two

easy chairs and a large antique oak table which

expands to seat the whole family for fireside dining. This

room, as well as the sun room, kitchen, dining room,

master bedroom and mountain room, all look out to

Saratoga Strait and the islands and mountains beyond.



The sun room also has hand-glazed walls and is the

perfect place for a puzzle or game with the kids, a hand

of cards or a private conversation. This room is often

used to extend the dining area as it has 4 tables which

may be moved to suit your needs. The sofa in this room

is great napping place too. You will find yourself drifting

here for a quiet gaze toward the water, to watch the

eagles or the seals on Baby Island just in front of the

house. When the tide is out you won't be able to resist a

little exploration. The dining room opens to the decks,

one with two picnic tables and large gas barbecue, the

other with hot tub and several comfortable sling chairs.

Inside there is a large table seating 10 .

Between the dining room and the very serious kitchen is

a buffet serving area designed with flexibility and

convenience in mind. The kitchen features a giant

double glass-door refrigerator, gas range with griddle,

huge oven and grill. The floor is padded and the

countertops high for no-back-ache-cooking.



The kitchen at Baby island Lodge is as well equipped as

the rest of the house with pots and pans, serving dishes

and everything you might need to make your banquet

perfect. There are two very large deep sinks as well as a

prep sink, two garbage disposals and the dishwasher

opening to the dish cupboards. You can literally put

away the dishes without moving from in front of the

dishwasher. Large drawers and ample cupboards

house a host of small appliances and equipment as well

as many of the food staples you may forget to bring with

you.



The master bedroom is also on the first floor with a

private bath, it's own Bos sound, gas fireplace, TV/VCR/

Cable, gate leg table to open for private supper, and a

queen size Murphy bed which folds to the wall allowing

this exotic space to be used as a small sitting room. A

small private deck, silk sari curtains and hand-painted

mural make this a magical space for the wedding

couple.



On the second floor there are two charming ull-

surrounded muralled dorm rooms which house 6 single

beds each as well as a double bed. Each has a large

full bathroom divided so that 3 people can use the

bathroom at once with privacy. In addition there are

three small flex-space rooms for your use as your needs

demand. One room has a small library and futon couch.

Lots of wonderful garden or water views from these

rooms too. The grounds are a groomed park

environment with two patios, a swing, a hammock in the

fern garden under the deck, expansive view and fire

circle overlooking the water. Anything you need is 7

miles away in Freeland or Langley, parks, tennis, golf,

shopping, hiking all within a short drive. Baby Island
