We have been going to Lonesome Cove resort for 20+ years now and this year was no exception to our continuing love of this peaceful, lovely piece of Washington State. Kim and Karl Bruder are the hosts and they are wonderful people. They have a great new website now too with lots of great photos. They have added new outdoor... More

We stayed with some friends at Lonesome Cove this fall. The cabins are quaint & right on the water with an absolutely gorgeous view. It was nice and quiet and would have also made for a great romantic getaway. There were six of us and we had 2 cabins, one 1BR and one 2BR. On the 2BR deck there was... More

Couldn't have asked for... More

However for our family of teens, I don't think it's the right place for us or anyone who's considering a large family reunion or celebration (like a milestone birthday). We stayed in the boat house and felt like we were constantly being watched by the owners/management. Our family... More

As we drove out the long dirt road surrounded by evergreen and cedar trees we remembered our camping trips from our childhoods. When the road opened to the resort we were met by the caretakers Kim and Karl with their friendly dog Otis. Not only is this a beautiful place to vacation but you can tell Kim and Karl truely...

For 10 yrs we've travel to the San Juan Island to decompress from our crazy lives. We have found there is nothing better for the soul and spirit than stay Lonesome Cove.

After being a regular visitor to Lonesome Cove Resort for about 18 years, I was a little unsure of what to expect when our wonderful host, Larry, retired in December. No Worries! We arrived as usual and were welcomed by our new hosts, Kim and Karl Bruger and their silly dog, Otis. The Cove is still the same peaceful retreat... More
