Spacious, comfortable room and large bathroom in a beautiful rural setting. Lovely to see deer right outside the window. Hot tub is a nice bonus at the end of the day. Ruth was gracious and helpful in communications and arranging check-in and check-out for me. I rented a car and highly recommend having one for getting around to all the attractions at different ends of the island quickly and comfortably. You'll also be glad to have a car when you go for dinner in town and make your way back to Ruth's place at the end of the night.
DeborahSeptember 2016Ruth left very clear instructions about how to get into the place. I met her the first evening. She's very friendly and has a vast knowledge of what to do on San Juan and the rest of the islands. The space is very nice, clean, good light. And quiet. The hot tub is great--I wish I'd used it more than once.
CarlosSeptember 2014This is an amazing find in Friday Harbor. We loved how the room was sort of secluded from the rest of the house. The house was very quiet and peaceful. Another attractive feature of the room was the hot tub. After a long day on our feet it was cozy and peaceful to sit in the hot tube all natural. The bed was top notch and I think it was as better then sleeping on most hotel beds that I have been on. The room was eloquently decorated with beautiful and interesting wall art. This was a great room and at a great price. The location was perfect because we were only 10 minutes from the ferry and the local shops.. Thank you so much for making this an amazing place to stay and we look forward to a return trip.
victorJanuary 2015Ruth was very gracious and her home is located on a quiet, beautiful part of the island. Like many others mentioned, she is a very busy person and not around much. However, she was always VERY quick to respond to any request, no matter how small! Her room is huge and very comfortable with plenty of space to spread out . Thank you , Ruth for sharing your beautiful part of the island!
MargotAugust 2016Good location, quiet and comfortable. Ruth was there to greet us & provide directions and restaurant recommendations. Easy place to explore the island from.
ScottJuly 2015Ruth's communication and information was spot-on. We loved her space and location as well. Deer wandered her property and we were able to explore the whole island from where she lived. Loved it! Matt O.
MattAugust 2015This was a perfect place for a few nights away from the city. Cozy room with a private bath, separate entrance and hot tub right outside the room! Ruth was a wonderful host and has a beautiful house tucked away on a quiet part of the island. Highly recommended!
ShaneFebruary 2011Ruth's home offered lots of quiet, privacy, and outdoor places to relax. Our accommodations were clean, comfortable, and offered everything we needed. The location is near historic English Camp and Roche Harbor. Ruth helped us with restaurant recommendations but otherwise, we did not have many interactions.

Flawless check-in and all as described. 'Would visit again at next opportunity.
GaryJuly 2016Susan has done an outstanding job at making Westcott Woods Cabin an enjoyable experience. The location is tucked away and nestled in the woods perched on a hillside overlooking the water. The cabin is full of windows that flood the abode with lots of natural light. There are two woodburning stoves that keep the dwelling space comfortably warm. Already my mom and I have made arrangements to stay here again in the near future. Susan also maintains a wonderful book collection that even the most picky reader will appreciate. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a calm and tranquil place to rejuvenate oneself. The cabin exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you Susan for being such a wonderful host!
RobertApril 2016Westcott Woods was exactly what we wanted when renting a rustic cabin on the San Juan Islands. It had all the necessary amenities as well as a beautiful view to wake up to in the morning. Susan was very helpful during the booking process. It was a wonderful experience overall.
JasonMay 2016The host contacted us to see if we had any questions when we booked and also just prior to arrival. I really appreciated that. The cabin is a very special place that my family loved. You can tell that care has gone into making a calm and serene environment. We'd go back in a heartbeat.
suzanneAugust 2016Wonderful home and host! Susan was very responsive and our stay was smooth and comfortable. Perfect home and location for a weekend getaway!
AnthonyOctober 2016What a beautiful place, what a nice setup, very peaceful quiet place to stay here with my family. Enjoyed walking several of the detailed trails walking distance from the Cabin. Close to English Camp and Bell Point.
ReinierSeptember 2016View is fantastic from every room in the cabin. The location is ideal, we walk to Roche Harbor and short drive Friday Harbor. May be rustic in appearance, but had all the amenities for a comfortable stay. Plan to stay here again...
CarisaSeptember 2016We stayed at Westcott Woods for a relaxing, birthday weekend getaway and our experience was absolutely ideal. First, Susan was prompt with her correspondence and clear with directions and instructions so no worries there. Second, this one-of-a-kind, time-burnished cabin is ridiculously charming and homey. You'll immediately sense the rich and happy history of the place, which is clearly the product of a thousand thoughtful, heartfelt and artful decisions from construction through decor. If you're looking for an idyllic, secluded hideaway to banish your stress and put a peaceful smile on your face immediately upon arrival, look no further.

This house is great! highly recommend to choose it for family. You can have beautiful view of English Camp just on the bed!
LinnaFebruary 2017Very nice place. We didn't cook for the few days we were there but they had nice kitchen that had everything we needed. Would have liked to have a 2nd TV and access to ESPN channel. Overall nice private location.
JamesOctober 2016Great location, view, kitchen.
JenniferFebruary 2017This place is the best Airbnb I have stayed at to date. It had absolutely everything you could imagine needing - as if you were in your own home. There were stacks of towels in each room - lending a very luxurious feel to the whole experience. The beds and pillows were very high quality. We will be back. Thank you for a wonderful experience! We loved every minute :)
JessicaDecember 2016This house was perfect for an extended weekend getaway. The location was perfect with quick and easy access to both Friday harbor and Roche Harbor. The house itself was amazing. Extremely clean upon arrival. More than enough kitchen, bathroom and living room amenities. Beautiful views of the bay and English Camp. Highly recommend!! Sybil was a great host!
BrittneyNovember 2016We loved our time at this lovely waterfront home. We saw bald eagles, river otters, Harbor seals and more, right from the house windows. Rooms were great! Beds were really nice. The perfect get-a-way! Even the dirt driveway through the deep dark trees was wonderfully moody. I would suggest this home to anyone wanting to really pull away from the city and experience nature in its finest. The home was perfect! Sybil was quick to answer questions.
DavidJanuary 2017This home is a special place and with beautiful scenery and is so very quite and peaceful. We saw deer, bald eagles and so much more. My wife and I were so relaxed the entire stay. Sybil was a perfect host and the accommodations were superb. There is everything that you need all set up and ready to go. There is some incredible hiking in the area and so many shops and restaurants a short drive away. A fitness center as well. We highly recommend this home for a couple and/or small family or small group. We will visit again sometime.
JoeFebruary 2017It was great to stay at this beautiful home. It was more than what we had and imagined. We were able to unwind from the Seattle busy lifestyle while staying at a comfortable and cozy setting. The house was fully equipped and ready to enjoy! Thank you for being a great host! San Juan Bay is a great place to stay at.

Kathleen was a wonderful host! She had the nicest breakfast arrangement waiting on the front porch each morning. The property beautiful and very quiet. Just what you need for a quick getaway!
GwendolynJuly 2015My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful time staying in Kathleen's guest house. The main house is situated facing a small runway. The road to Kathleen's is the taxiway. While this may sound odd, it makes your stay very interesting. We were greeted by Kathleen's daughter-in-law who was very gracious. The accommodations were excellent. We were even provided Keurig coffee and pastries. It was a very memorable experience.
RichMay 2015Staying here was an amazing experience. The space was a perfect size and had everything you could need. It was conveniently located right near Roche Harbor which is beautiful but just far enough away to feel secluded and peaceful. I would definitely recommend staying here!
KaraAugust 2014Kathleen and her family were gracious and welcoming. The accommodations were perfect for us, and in a very beautiful setting. We appreciated the delicious breakfast on the patio, enjoyed sitting in the adirondaks chairs later in the day, and the short walk to Roche Harbor restaurants. This was our first Airbnb experience, and we were happy with the introduction. We highly recommend Kathleen and her guest house.
Laura July 2014This was a lovely and quite place to return to each evening after a day of hiking and exploring. The room is exactly as described, very nice, a large bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The host was not there when we were visiting but her daughter was and she was very friendly and helpful. It was great waking up to special treats and fruit each morning. There is a microwave and mini frig in the room. The only things missing were a comfortable chair to sit and read in and a TV ( only because the world series playoffs were on!!). It was very close to Roche Harbor which was easy walking distance. Thanks for a a great stay.
MindyOctober 2014Great experience! We came for a wedding at Roche Harbor and the unit is walking distance. The breakfast in the morning was very convenient and Bart was a friendly host. He was welcoming, but also gave us space to do our own thing while we were there. My only regret is not spending more time on the island!
MarcoJune 2016Great place!! The breakfast basket in the morning was a great touch!
JoelOctober 2015We were in Roche Harbor for a wedding and stayed in Kathleen's guest house for one night. It was wonderful. Kathleen and her family were incredibly accommodating, letting us stay late and use their beautiful porch, and so friendly. Kathleen's granddaughter even made us breakfast in the morning. The guest house itself was clean and comfortable and only a short walk from the center of Roche Harbor. I definitely recommend staying here if you're in the area.

This was our, first family vacation in several years and the house, was perfect for us. 2 adults and 4 young teens fit perfectly. The house was cute, clean, quiet, conveniently located, stocked with everything we need to cook meals, cozy and open. The deck has a beautiful view, the beds were comfortable and all we needed to bring were toiletries and beach towels. We all slept very well and the rooms had fans too. The owners were so helpful and responsive, and made sure everything was easy and simple. Great house, great people and we will definitely return! Our first AirBnB experience was perfect!
MelanieAugust 2015This home is warm and welcoming just like its owners. Nancy and Ed are easy to work with. We had a fabulous time and we would happily use them again!!!
YolandaJuly 2015Edward and Nancy's home was super beautiful! What an amazing location on the island. We brought our bikes, and it was a nice quick ride to Roche Harbor. Ed checked in periodically to make sure everything was going alright, I appreciated knowing that anything would be taken care of if we needed it. Will definitely come back!
AricSeptember 2016Beautiful location and very nice home. Kitchen laid out nicely and the wood stove made it very nice after being on the water all day. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great getaway. Very close to Roche Harbor and across the street from Westcott Bay, which is a very peaceful area. We were 4 sailors participating in the annual Round the Count Race, but would have been great place for a couples long weekend or more.
DavidNovember 2015Ed and Nancy were very welcoming/helpful. Their place is open, yet private with peek-a-boo views of the inlet nearby. A very comfortable, relaxed place to stay...and easy to get to Roche Harbor.
CashJuly 2015Ed and Nancy were very responsive and easy to connect with. The house was clean and as described. Convenient location near Roche Harbor and the water. A great option for those that wish to be away from the crowds in Friday Harbor.
LindsayOctober 2016Hosts are gracious and helpful. The house was very comfortable in the "highest temperature recorded" weekend. The ramp up to the steps made it easy to roll luggage and food into the house. It is close enough to Roche Harbor to participate in a family wedding/destination while having the quiet and comfort of being away from it all when desired.
LindaAugust 2016Staying at Westcott Firs was a major highlight of our trip. All the little finishing touches made it even better than described. As someone who is chemically sensitive, I always pack my own soaps. To find Lavender bath salts and eco-friendly natural "safe" soaps throughout the house was a dream come true. The house was clean, open, airy and comfortable. And Edward and Nancy were easy to deal with. No hassles. Lots of accurate communications. When we asked to extend our stay, they made it happen quickly and easily. Just a positive experience all around. We highly recommend using Westcott Firs as your base from which to explore the islands.

What a sweet place! I couldn't decide between this condo and a house. So happy with my choice. My boys were able to walk around the habor. It's not as private as a house but we loved it. Wish that we lived close so we could come 3-4x a year.
GinaJuly 2016The loft was the perfect place to relax and enjoy time with our kids and other family members who were visiting San Juan that weekend. Debbie was very helpful, everything was in "ship-shape" when we arrived!!
JosephineJune 2016Loved our stay at Debbie's place! Great location, close to central Roche Harbor, easy walking distance for weddings and events. Very modern, clean, well designed/decorated condo with all the needed amenities. Didn't notice originally that there wasn't a TV, but who needs a TV with all that the island has to offer! Very comfortable beds, perfect set up for a large family or a group that is ok with a a more communal sleeping setting. Overall loved our time here and really enjoyed the condo.
IanOctober 2016The loft was bright, comfortable, and had a great view. For the three of us, it was perfect. Because the loft is open to downstairs, you'd all want to be getting up at the same time. It's a 5 minute walk to the docks/restaurant....where food was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay A few extra towels would have been nice but other than (URL HIDDEN) complaints! we'd go back!
AnneSeptember 2016The unit was ready exactly when promised, clean, bright, well appointed, comfortable and easily accessible. Communication was clear and timely, and responsive. Unit amenities were exactly as expected. Would have loved to have a few more towels, but manageable. Amazing location, very private. Spiral staircase access to loft beds not ideal for small kids. Coffee on the deck in the morning sun was a great start to each day.
LoisAugust 2016The description and photos are very accurate. The location is fantastic - easy walk to most things in Roche and great views. Quiet and easy to find.
CarrieMay 2016We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The location was great for a restful weekend. Convenient to the general store - they have pretty much everything. Great trip!!!! Satisfied.

Wow. This place was so incredible. My husband and I were in awe the whole time. The hut itself was just the perfect size for sleeping and eating and filled with little artistic details (the ceiling was amazing!). My husband and I both really enjoyed drinking some cocoa-yerba mate tea by the fire and sleeping in the comfortable bed. We felt well taken care of, but we also had plenty of privacy and felt like we were really in our own little space. Oh, and we LOVED the gregarious cat and dog. They were the most friendly animals and both incredibly sweet.
CarolineAugust 2014Credence was there to greet us when we arrived and along with Azalea and Nootka made us feel very welcome. The cottage was small but comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and especially the morning delivery of Credence's coffee. The setting is rural and woodsy but conveniently close to sights of interest on the island. We would stay there again.
JanvierOctober 2015This was a beautiful little get-away. Perfect.
GeorgiaDecember 2014Beautiful, secluded spot! Totally adorable and comfortable. Credence makes some seriously fantastic coffee, and their dog has got to be the cutest friendliest canine ever. We had a beautiful fire and cooked over it and even encountered some brazen deer. It was relaxing and perfect.
KatMay 2016Andrea & Credence were great! We loved the mod-cob and the inner island glamping experience. Andrea and Creedence are incredibly thoughtful and every little detail was taken care of. If we return to San Juan we will definitely stay here again!!
janetSeptember 2014My son's and my second time here: as before, a great experience. The new setting for the cabin is even better. Credence was incredibly helpful, picking us up when we were hitchhiking back to the cabin from Roche Harbor. He also tolerated our dog chasing one of their chickens -- thanks for your forbearance!
arthurNovember 2015The "mod-cob" was a wonderful place to stay for two nights on San Juan Island. Andrea and Credence made us feel welcome, as they left out printed instructions when we got in late our first night to give us a lay of the land. Before we even arrived, Credence had given me a call to make sure everything was in order and that all of our questions were answered. Throughout our stay, Andrea, Credence, and the whole family were warm and friendly, and provided us with a cooler and ice, fresh coffee in the morning, and at the same time enough privacy and space. The outdoor shower was a unique experience which i would love to take advantage of again, and the outhouse was clean and easy to use. The Mod-cob was nestled in the woods of San Juan Island, and it was wonderful being able to retreat to a secluded, quiet location of the island to relax after adventuring around San Juan Island. The road definitely is a little rough and bumpy so I could see people with road bikes having trouble biking to the Mod-cob, but we drove and had no problems finding the place with the directions provided. There is no shortage of activities for San Juan Island, and Andrea and Credence provided some excellent suggestions for both activities and dining. Overall, we really enjoyed our time, and would love at some point to come back in the future! If you're looking for a unique, friendly, and truly enjoyable experience on San Juan Island, the "Mod-Cob" is a great place to base-camp.
DavidAugust 2014I lived on San Juan Island for many years; coming to Andrea and Credence's place is like coming home. If you really want to relax and get close to the island, this is the way to do it. What a gem. Kind people and (extremely) comfortable simplicity. Highly recommend!

We just spent 4 amazing days at this great house. It's in a perfect location on San Juan Island to get to all activities. Just down the road accessible to guests of this house is an amazing cove that we visited every night for sunset. World class whale watching is a short drive away. The house is very well outfitted, beautifully furnished with everything first class. We used the grill multiple times and enjoyed the Adirondacks on the spacious front porch for morning coffee and evening wine. We highly recommend this fantastic house!
BrianJuly 2016We had a very relaxing time during our 3 days at their beautiful house. And while it feels so calm, it is at most 15 to 20 minutes max from most of San Juan Island. It's 5 minutes away from County Park and about 10 from Lime Kiln Park. 1 small issue which is either good or bad depending on your perspective is that cell reception is poor unless you have Verizon. And if you do connect, it will probably be through the Canadian Cell network on Vancouver Island. But there's good wifi and a landline for local calls. Also note that Smugglers Cove is just down the hill for some tidepooling. Thanks Sil & Greg.
RalphAugust 2016Greg and Silvia have a great house in a location you can't beat. Far enough removed from the heavy touristy area and yet close to everything. On the west side of the island we had a great time looking at beaches and sunsets. The house has everything you need for cooking great meals and relaxing after a day of whale watching or beach combing.
JohnAugust 2016Amazing host and home! We will be back soon and often.
BretSeptember 2016This place is absolutely magical and way better in person than you can imagine!
RebeccaDecember 2016This is a very nice house for the holiday. If it's a sunny day, the sun will come through the windows on the second floor which is very nice and cozy. If it's rainy or snowy, you can always sit by the fire and read a book for the whole day. Strongly recommend it!

The Nest is wonderful! Shannon does an excellent job of making her guests feel welcome and informed. Extremely beautiful forest setting does wonders for the spirit. Can't wait to book again for some R&R with friends!
AngelaOctober 2016We came up for a quick 2 night trip with my in-laws. The cabin was the perfect size for the 4 of us. It gave us the opportunity to have snacks and play games after a day of exploring, as well as have a quiet morning drinking coffee and planning the day. The setting was very quiet and peaceful. The house is about 20 minutes from Friday Harbor and maybe 10 minutes from Roche Harbor which we found to be quite the gem. We did clean up some cobwebs on the lights, but otherwise the house was clean. We loved staying in a house rather than 2 hotel rooms with just beds for our stay in the San Juans!
LaurieSeptember 2016Shannon was a gracious host and great communicator. The house is in a great location on the island, truly beautiful scenery, waking up with the sun shining through the tall trees. Plenty of blankets, pillows (and even a cot) for the whole family. Great wifi connection. Home was accurately described (and even bigger than I expected from pictures) and very clean.
TroyAugust 2016Must See!
Jordan and AlyssaJanuary 2017Great location in forest. Host super organized so everything easy to find. Host gave good recommemenations re the island.
KennethAugust 2016Shannon was a lovely host and went out of her way to make our trip a memorable one. Beautiful house in a quiet part of the island, great for a relaxing vacation in the Islands.
Katherine July 2016The Nest was fantastic. The cabin is remote, quiet, clean, and fully stocked for a lovely weekend away. Shannon was prompt in reaching out, setting up our meeting time, and when we arrived she walked us through all the details. The kitchen was stocked with utensils, pots and pans, and dishes. The bedding was super comfortable. And overall, just a wonderful stay!
Billie SueAugust 2016We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the nest. The cabin had the right combination of rustic charm and modern comforts. The quiet seclusion in the woods allowed us to really relax. My relaxation started when I drove our vehicle into the turn-around parking area in front of the cabin, and realized that I didn't need to deal with tight parking spaces and potential door dings. Our host, Shannon, met us promptly and gave us a detailed tour of the place. She was friendly and offered lots of information about things to do on the island. Inside, the cabin was clean and well appointed; everything worked. The open kitchen-living room area provided a comfortable space in which we could all hang out together in the evenings. During our stay, the weather was fairly cool, so the electric heater took bit to heat up the big room. The comfortable beds and the quiet surroundings allowed for a good night's sleep. In the mornings, we enjoyed our coffee while sitting on the front porch as the sun made its way through the trees. Cell phone connection was not very good; our phones went into roaming mode and picked up a Canadian provider. However, the wireless router provided a reasonable internet connection which we used for internet calls and some browsing for planning day trips. We recommend the Nest for anyone who want's quiet and comfortable accommodations from which to stage day trips.

This was a last minute booking and it work out great! The master suite was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The shower is amazing! We enjoyed having the private use of the solarium and even had our breakfast out there each morning rather than in the sitting room. The pastry, yogurt and fruit delivered to the door each morning was a real treat! We also appreciated the opportunity to do laundry, thanks Kathleen for letting me do it a bit late in the day! There are very few planes using the runway so no need to worry about noise. The planes are actually a nice attraction! Roche Harbor is a short walk away. We mostly did things near Friday Harbor which is about a 20 minute drive. One evening we made a fire in the fire pit and enjoyed the moon and stars. It was a really nice place to stay and lovely hosts!
JudithAugust 2016We absolutely loved this place and highly recommend it! We really enjoyed watching the planes take off and land from the sunroom, which faced the Roche Harbor airstrip. Fortunately, this activity only took place during sunlight hours and had no effect on our sleeping time. The daily breakfasts of fruit, yogurt and pastries helped to get us started in the morning. Bart was a great host who introduced us to the suite and answered all our questions, as well as regaling us with a few tales of the house and the area's history!
ChrisAugust 2016The Master Suite was very comfortable and homey. The breakfasts were good, the hosts were very helpful with any questions or concerns and the neighborhood was beautiful. We would definately stay again.

The room is beautiful & the bed was very comfortable. It was perfect. We sure enjoyed the basket of breakfast treats delivered to our door each morning. I can't say enough about how great our stay here was.

Mary Ellen was an amazing host. She welcomed us with a bottle of wine and peanuts and then gave us our privacy. She also stocked the fridge with a light breakfast. She was very helpful with tips of what to do and where to go on the island. The private cabin was very cozy and clean and the view from the deck was incredible. We loved being able to hang out and grill and watch the family of deers play nearby. It was the perfect getaway, not far from town in Friday Harbor but it felt like a world away perched on a private road among the madrona trees. Highly recommend!
BariAugust 2014Before we arrived, Mary Ellen always responded quickly to questions we had. She met us when we arrived and gave us a lot of helpful information about what to see in the island and where to go shopping for food and seafood. She also check to made sure that we have everything we needed. It was a pleasure meeting Mary Ellen. The cottage has fantastic views and the beds are very comfortable. Would definitely recommend to friends.
ZhihongJune 2015We had nothing short of an amazing time staying at Mary Ellen's cabin! Our first night, Mary Ellen mapped out all the must sees on the island from the perspective of a native, and was very hospitable in getting us set up in the cabin :) The place was great--peaceful and secluded, with an amazing view. It had everything we needed for our stay. Would recommend to anyone looking for a getaway on San Juan Island!
AuroraSeptember 2015Mary Ellen was very nice communicating and being thorough, helping us get ferry reservations and sharing directions to the house. Upon arrival, she met us and took us down the rather steep hill to the cabin helping us with our bags. The cabin was smaller than expected. Being afraid of heights/ladders, I was not a fan of sleeping in the loft where there were 4 mats, spots to sleep. The view was great and the deer came to visit. My Dad had the bedroom and slept well. The claw foot tub was nice to soak in.
DawnJune 2015We had a very nice stay at Mary Ellen's cabin. The view is gorgeous – just as it appears in the page. That's what I looked at while I had my morning coffee each day. The cabin is about 10 minutes drive from lime kiln park, where we were able to see Orcas swimming past. It's tucked away in the woods, so it was a beautiful place to look at the stars. Mary Ellen is a gracious host, and had excellent suggestions for hikes, paddling, etc. The cabin has all the basic supplies you would need--kitchen equipment, coffee maker, toaster oven, microwave, two electric burners, some kitchen staples like coffee, salt-and-pepper, and whatever's been left by previous guests. As the previous reviewer mentioned, there is some construction going on, and it started right at 8 AM. Since we were already awake and getting ready to get on with our day, it never bothered us. If you are planning to laze about the cabin all day it could be annoying. The cabin uses space heaters, so depending on when you're going and what the weather is like, the place might be a bit chilly. There are loads of blankets, though, and the heaters work well.
AndrewSeptember 2016The pictures of the view do not do the cabin justice. Facing to the west, the sunsets are breathtaking, peaceful, and idyllic. Once the sun sets you can begin to appreciate the twilight of Victoria and Sydney across the strait. One cannot appreciate the location of the cabin based on the description. It is oriented on the island such that no beach, landmark, or restaurant is out of the way. Situated on a stunning forested hilltop, you'll have the opportunity to recharge and escape the traffic of other visitors after a long day of excursions and adventures. While we were most excited about the prospect of staying at the cabin itself because the views are so tremendous, the best part of our experience was the vast and impressive knowledge Mary Ellen shared with us about San Juan Island where she grew up. Upon our arrival she was immediately a gracious and engaging host. She was generous with both her insights and her possessions. Mary Ellen inquired about what we hoped to experience on the island during our stay. With the aid of a map of the island, Mary Ellen showed us her favorite trails, foraging beaches, great restaurants, off the beaten path points of interest, and things we wouldn't want to miss. She even gave us crabbing tips that paid off. We had a limited amount of time on the island, but with a spectacular base camp and wonderful guide, we had a truly memorable weekend. This is the perfect place for a couple wanting moments of peace and relaxation, but the ability to get out and appreciate everything San Juan Island has to offer. We will certainly return and now know exactly where to stay. Mary Ellen is not the sort of person that one forgets because of her unique qualities and amazing spirit. Same goes for her cabin.
MeganAugust 2016Mary Ellen is lovely and could not have been nicer to us. The house was a dream. The location was perfect for an Orca obsessed person like me - so close to Lime Kiln! Can't wait to go back.
BethJuly 2015Mary Ellen was a fantastic host. She communicated frequently and thoroughly to help us get through booking and figuring out the reservation system for the ferry. She met us at the cabin on the property and walked us through its amenities as well as making multiple recommendations for activities on the island. She was also gracious enough to offer up her landline phone if needed since cell signal is very poor on this side of the island.

This cabin was the perfect launching point for our island activities. The fridge is stocked with breakfast sundries, the bed is very soft, the WiFi made life easy lacking normal cell service, and the deck and pond made us wish we'd set aside a day to sit and have a beer at home! We'll definitely be back.
MattSeptember 2016We had a fantastic time at this cozy cottage. Well equipped with special touches. We use a blender for smoothies every morning and Scott went to town and got us one! Very clean and great use of small space. The setting is beautiful, peaceful, private and close to both Roche and Friday Harbors. We loved our 3 nights here. Thank you!
Rick and BetsySeptember 2016Adorable cabin! Welcoming and friendly host. We enjoyed our time very much. We enjoyed fresh, delicious eggs from the farm chickens for breakfast which were devoured after a previous day of biking the island. The cabin is about 5 miles from Friday Harbor. The roosters start crowing when the sun comes up. Keep in mind if you want a place to sleep in. Otherwise, a good natural alarm clock. I water does smell heavily of sulfur (when showering or washing dishes), but the host provides ample drinking water. Excellent communication with the host. Thanks, Scott!
SachiSeptember 2014My partner and I booked a weekend stay at the cabin for a relaxing weekend. The cabin was the perfect size for two and had all the amenities that a couple would need. It was clean and comfortable. One aspect that cannot be interpreted by looking at the photos posted is the serenity of the property. It is close enough to all the tourist attractions if you want to whale watch or go kayaking; however, if your intent is to unwind while watching ducks swim in the pond and listen to nature, this is the perfect vacation rental. This cottage provided us the opportunity to slow down and ignore our fast-paced lives making it one of the best vacations in quite a while.
KristiApril 2016Scott & Kim were fantastic hosts with a great cabin. As described, it is charming and cozy, as well as very clean with everything needed for a few days away. It was great to be so close to both Roche and Friday Harbors, and Scott had great tips for places to see and explore while visiting. Other reviewers have called this a great place to stay while getting out and exploring the island, and while we agree we also found it a great place to spend long, lazy afternoons. We didn't eat any meals out and enjoyed the grill, kitchenette and porch without needing to be out. We would recommend this stay, and driving the 20 minutes to Lime Kiln State Park for sunset.
Elly August 2015My girlfriend and I had an amazing time at Scott's cabin. Everything about the cabin is just perfect. I could not recommend the place more. We will definitely be returning.
SaumJanuary 2016This cabin was such a find for us. It's centrally located. Comfortably furnished. Thoughtful amenities (fresh eggs! Coffee, juice, yogurt). We were warmly welcomed by friendly hosts. Felt right at home (as did our dog). A beautiful piece of property we enjoyed exploring with Scott. Two days wasn't long enough for us.
NancyAugust 2016Great cabin, great location, very enjoyable experience. The hosts were kind and friendly. They hooked us up with some cooking oil when we were making dinner one night (there's an fancy toaster oven with two stove burners on top, as well as pots and pans, plates, silverware, etc.) and really wanted to make sure we had everything we needed (which we did). The cabin has a secluded woodsy feeling, with it's own pond / lake and the host's house is close and it's right off a main road connecting to Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor. The perfect hub for exploring the whole island.

Liza was there to welcome us as we arrived and very friendly. She oriented us to her home and gave us some insights about the space and area (be sure to ask about the story of placing the stone sculpture on the knoll). The sunset view is unforgettable! We awoke to deer grazing in the front yard. The hot tub was lovely. Overall it was quite enjoyable. We loved the remote feeling, but were still just a 15 minute drive from Friday Harbor.
MelindaAugust 2016We were so welcomed by Liza! She sent emails with directions and to let us know that she would be out when we arrived. Had freshly ground coffee for us and came over to check to see if we needed anything and we got to meet her. Such a sweet person. Included suggestions for places to eat also.
BarbaraJune 2016What a beautiful location!
JasonMay 2016Liza was very welcoming and accommodating. We absolutely loved the house, and the property was indeed "sunny" - it was absolutely stunning at sunset. I would absolutely come back. The house has everything you need for a relaxing time away from a busy work week - a hot tub, sauna, outside patio with views of the water, even a ping-pong table.
SofiaJuly 2016Amazing island getaway. I took my first long solo bike ride to San Juan Island in December 2014. I knew I'd arrive tired and wet so the sauna and hot tub were very appealing. Even before I arrived I knew that Liza was going to be a great host, she offered to have the sauna stoked and even volunteered to pick me up in town in case I was too tired to make it! The night I arrived a big storm hit and I listened to the wind roar above as I soaked my sore muscles below. I spent two days relaxing and exploring before heading back to civilization, here are a few highlights: on Friday morning I was soaking when a bald eagle flew overhead and landed in the tree above me. Friday and Saturday nights were clear and I saw almost 50 meteors while soaking. I sat on the deck in the sun and drank my coffee and ate my granola (both provided). The sauna was easy to use, I heated it twice each day and was able to deeply relax and recover. On Saturday Liza let me use her computer to load a new gps map when I realized I was missing some data for the return trip. Liza made me feel welcome and comfortable and I will definitely be going back. A few more things: - there aren't many reviews in airbnb but Liza has been renting the guest house for years and there are two guest books FILLED with stories of people who have come from all over the world. - The hot tub is very private, I was able to pack light for my trip ;) - The house is up a dirt road in a rural area and it's very dark at night. I was able to find it on my bicycle in a storm on the first try so just pay attention to the directions. - the listing gives a great feel for the interior, a bit spartan but cozy. The exterior is even more beautiful, especially if you're lucky enough to get a sunny day.
KenDecember 2014Sunny Knoll Guest Suite was better than we expected. Although accurate, the pictures don't really do it justice. It's a beautiful setting, very quite, very peaceful. We were able to use the outdoor ping pong table, sauna, hammock, and hot tub. Her family library is fantastic! Lots of charm to the space and very unique. Liza could not have been a more generous host. Her rental is a very special place and my husband and I really loved getting to know her.
KateAugust 2015Sunny Knoll is a magical spot. I was a bit put-off at first by just how remote it was, but once you get to the top of Cady mountain it is all worth it. The house itself is amazing - cozy and well furnished. Liza is great, friendly and welcoming. The location is peaceful and charming. Perfect for watching sunsets and gazing at the stars.
TomJuly 2016Great host and beautiful location about half way between Friday harbor and Roche harbor. Not super close to town so make sure you print directions as you'll lose service. The hot tub was fantastic and the host more than excellent. Perfect for families looking for a casual weekend away.

Amy was an welcoming and friendly host, and have us great tips for exploring the island. The room is very comfortable and conveniently located for all kinds of activities.
EmilyJuly 2015Amy made us feel welcome from the get-go. She is friendly and interesting to talk with and provided us with good suggestions for places to visit on her beautiful island.
MaureenJuly 2015Amy and Jozy were very welcoming! and gave us ideas to maximize our experience in the Island. The room is very comfortable, spacious, clean and conveniently located... nice to have a patio were we enjoyed sitting in the evening and have a glass of wine and in the morning just watch the deer. I would definitely stay with Amy again, oh and you have to try the apples from her own tree she even gave us some to take with us, Great place and great host! Marcela
MarcelaSeptember 2015My dad and I stayed with Amy for two nights on our recent trip to the San Juan Islands. There is a futon in the room that can be made into a second bed, which she was kind enough to do for us. The room and semi-private bathroom were both very nice and clean. The girl spending the summer with her did happen to be there one day, but we had no issues with bathroom access and we actually enjoyed chatting with her and her boyfriend, who was also visiting. Amy also has an abundance of fresh blackberries on her property that she welcomed us to pick and eat, yum! One morning I saw a couple of deer out in her yard and at night I enjoyed looking at the stars from her deck. What a wonderful host and property!
DanielleAugust 2015Amy greeted us in person, showed her house, and gave us plenty good ideas to maximize our island experience. The room comes with a lot of space. It is clean, quiet, and beyond my expectations.
SiyuJuly 2015Amy's room was much larger than it looks in the photo, and everything was very clean and ultra-comfortable. We slept well and had everything we needed. We loved stargazing on the patio at night, and catching glimpses of deer during the day. The location is very peaceful, but also just about 10 minutes drive from the hardbor--very convenient. Amy gave us expert advice on reserving the ferry, seeing the whales, hiking all over the island, and restaurants to try. We're so grateful to her for her warm hospitality--she made our time on the island unforgettable! We'd gladly stay with her anytime. Highly recommended!
LisaAugust 2015Great room....nice to have our own little patio to watch the deer try to get into Amy's flowers. It feels like you're way out on the island but Friday Harbor is only 10 minutes away. Amy (and Jozy) make you feel very comfortable. The room is spacious and the private bathroom is only steps away.

Jobs in Lower Makefield Township, PA
- 121,862 Resumes
- 48,452 Jobs Available
- 32,687 Population
- $63,000 Average Salary
Located in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area, Lower Makefield Township not only provides residents many opportunities for employment, but the township offers safety, too. It has the lowest crime rate in the area, and its residents also enjoy higher than average income, ranked number one in Pennsylvania for median family and median household. The more than 32,500 people living in Lower Makefield Township find work in the town or in Philadelphia, New Jersey, or New York. If you're beginning your jobs search, take a look at what the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area has to offer you in terms of growing industries, average wages, and opportunities.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Lower Makefield Township's employment information is tied in with the greater Philadelphia area. It has had a harder climb back up after the Great Recession hit in 2008, but it has improved significantly. In 2014, the unemployment rate was 6.8 percent, but it fell to 5.9 percent in 2015. This is still higher than the 2015 national unemployment rate of 5.3 percent. Many people find employment in the top five sectors, which include education and health services and trade, transportation, and utilities, which saw 3.2 percent growth over the year. Following these are government, professional and business services, and leisure and hospitality sectors, which include the largest occupation in the area: retail salesperson. The largest number of jobs in Lower Makefield Township are also made up of cashiers and registered nurses. On average, employees bring home a weekly wage of $1,137, which is slightly more than the national average of $1,048.
Drawing the attention of employers usually starts with a resume that is professional and absent of mistakes. Unfortunately, resumes are typically plagued with issues, so check out these five tips to get started perfecting your own.
1. Never hand in a resume without first proofreading at least twice. A well-proofread document gives the impression that you care about the fine details.
2. Include your phone number and email address, and make sure your voicemail message is professional.
3. Don't give yourself a headache trying to put all of your information on one page. Two is all right if you need the space, but don't exceed it.
4. To help keep your page number down, don't include references. These will be asked for if they're wanted.
5. Avoid the use of pronouns. These should be left only for the cover letter. Instead, begin each sentence with an active verb to make things a bit more interesting.
If you want to make finding jobs in Lower Makefield Township to be easier and possibly more successful, it's a great idea to check out expert advice before starting. If you've already begun your job search, it's never too late to do your research. Start today with these five tips:
1. Get support and job-search help by joining networks and professional associations. Knowing the right people is becoming more important to landing the next great job, so make a point of meeting new people often.
2. Take advantage of job fairs and online job banks. These are going to be your best tool when finding a job, so make the most of them when they occur or are updated.
3. Don't ignore your transferable skills. If you're having trouble finding a job in your current industry, look outside of it for jobs you can do.
4. Take assessment tests for new skills. These are great to add to your resume, too.
5. Grab a calendar and make a plan. You are your own captain when it comes to this process, so stay organized and up to date.

Can't believe they've put three of their best songs on to this CD.
They must have some serious tunes still stuck up their sleeves.
By The Sunshine Underground
It's here. It's black. It's got a whopping fluorescent neon logo on it. It's in a real plastic case - y'know, one of those that proper singles are packaged in when you buy them from huge chain retailers called things like 'HMV' and 'Virgin Megastores'. It has a price, a barcode, and when the assistant hovers it over a red laser, something beeps and he or she asks you for money. It's 'Commercial Breakdown', and it's backed by that bastard child of evil-eyed, hungry rhythm, 'The Way It Is'; a delicious, screamable pair of tunes created solely to batter all others with their sublime sense of rebellious sexiness, simply by lowering their eyelashes and coyly beckoning you to walk them down the aisle. Sorry, did I say walk? I meant writhe and PUNCH and kiss and HISS and fight and DANCE, of course. But I'm sure you knew that already.
Recent Engine Room Records favourite, 'The Way It Is', has collisions of handclaps and unhinged effects pedals to sound like a Grand Canyon-sized rumbling pit of gravel imploding midway through the apocalypse whilst the odd dinosaur runs around killing things. Then, after the end of everything, all the survivors gather in a dripping wet jungle on top of a volcano for a muddy, rough, extravagant party; the light show provided by the cracking skies, the drum and bass provided by the aftershock noises of molten lava cascading in on itself somewhere at the centre of the earth. 'Commercial Breakdown', though, busts out from the fizzing core of your hifi and sends small fragments of burning plastic missiles shooting around the room, cutting bleeding red tunnels through to your heart via those little floating bones in your ear that keep your balance - or, in this case, make you lose it.
For those who've shaken and shivered at the feet of the version previously released on the My Army EP/Dance To The Radio compilation, this one'll knock you dead. It's still as raw; just faster, louder, harder, heavier and hotter. And a bit shorter. For the radio, like. Craig's channelled, electric current of a vocal plummets down the buzzing wires of an overdriven guitar engine merged with interference, zapping your arteries and frazzled nerve-endings with its almost extraordinary ability to resonate. It's a devilish entity all of its own with a metallic, citric, sharp shock the strength and heat of flying shrapnel. "Sometimes I find it hard to comply with people who don't look you in the eye", he snarls in the video, fixing his eye pupils on yours whilst miscellaneous scraps of a materialistic world - books, coffee tables, lamps, televisions - vanish into nowhere. Oh, they'll look you in the eye, alright, this band. They'll sway and stamp you into withering submission as they tear every limb from limb and blast red energy at you from the sweaty stage, probably laughing and bursting a few jugulars at the same time, just for the hell of it.
I love The Sunshine Underground for countless reasons. Here are three. Firstly, spinning around beneath the fiery, fierce, muscled body and hulk of everything, you'll find Stu's sparkling threads of echoing, glowing guitar lines which sing and hop from octave to octave, top to bottom, like little strung-out galaxies of twinkling notes you might not have noticed the first time around. Secondly, their songs of opinion, judgment, argument, rant, riot and celebration are speared with a power the likes of which you have rarely seen, roasting on a spit of unbearably possessive joy and filth that sometimes makes you question whether you're dancing in heaven or in hell. Finally, they create such an awesome, unadulterated shaft of ecstatic noise that you want to hug to death and trash to fuck everything you see around you, in equal amounts.
I recommend you do both. Now.

Mr. Wolf, I'm not their publicist, no... I've just been following them (not literally chasing them down backstreets or anything, mind) and their music for a year and a half or something - since I was given the My Army EP by Mr. LMS.
Yow - I've achieved my life long dream of being called a 'mad writer'! This is great; I can tell my future children. Gratitude.
Indeed - well done lads. A ridiculously strong first single.

Weeping Willow Books
Weeping Willow Books is devoted to publishing high-quality fiction and nonfiction books that inspire, uplift, inform and entertain. Our authors are accomplished writers whose work illuminates, as Abraham Lincoln said, "the better angels of our nature."
Heart on a Fence, by Marcia Meier
A 44-page gift book of Marcia Meier's photos and poetry. Evoking both poignancy and optimism, Marcia's photos beautifully illustrate poems that delve into childhood fears and adult revelations that remind readers of the power of love, perseverance, and hope.
Praise for Heart on a Fence:
"Your beautiful book is a treasure. Thank you! A lovely meditation. Word and image gathered with such care."
"Marcia, the book is gorgeous! Riches all around."
"If you are like me and need a little beauty for the senses at the end of a long day, Heart on a Fence by Marcia Meier is for you. It is a photography poetry treasure. Treat yourself to one of her amazing photographs and one of her rich poems each day and your world will be so much better for it."
"I finally had a sweet hour to enjoy reading Heart on a Fence, and enjoyed it very much. Imagery for the heart and imagery for the eyes... May your lovely book be warmly applauded!"
Published in fall 2015, O Tomodachi is Jorgensen's vibrant, detailed memoir of observing, experiencing, and absorbing a bygone culture.
In 1954, as a twenty-nine-year-old grad student and World War II veteran, Jorgensen was selected to be one of four "ambassador" teachers in a first-ever exchange program between the United States and Japan, representing the University of Michigan, under the auspices of The Asia Foundation. He spent the next two years teaching at the University of Hiroshima, which was founded in the wake of the atomic bomb detonation in 1945. Thus began an incredible journey for, as he describes himself, a "kid from the Midwest."
In his Foreword, David E. Sanger, Chief Washington correspondent for The New York Times, says, "Dick…reminds us of a Japan we can only imagine today, in the mind's eye and old newsreels. His is a great story of an American's love affair with a Japan that no longer exists, yet remains the Japan of our longings."
As a work of history, O Tomodachi provides a perspective on postwar Japan that is both factual and accessible. As a memoir, it provides a wonderful sense of what it was like for a young American to go off to a foreign land, a place that had only recently been the enemy of the United States, and to open himself to new experiences and people. Jorgensen fell in love with Japan, and that love has lasted a lifetime.

Praise for O Tomodachi:
"A warm, appealing eyewitness account that displays the author's appreciation for Japan's art and architecture and its postwar challenges." – Kirkus Reviews
"Wow! Thank you so much for your O Tomodachi! What a wonderful research work this book is!"
"Hans and I were delighted to read it…good for my ladies group to read! Amazing, and so proud of you!
"Yours is a unique story and the book is very well written."

An Overview of The Cremation Process
Depending on the situation, there may be a waiting period of up to 48 hours from the time of death before the human remains may be cremated. During this waiting period, the body of the deceased is placed in refrigerated storage on-site.
may begin, mechanical devices such as pacemakers must be removed because they may explode during the cremation process, causing extensive damage both to the integrity of the human remains and to the cremation chamber. If your loved one has a pacemaker or silicon implants, please let your funeral director know prior to cremation.
To begin the cremation process, the human remains and the cremation container are placed in the cremation chamber. Sometimes, this is referred to as the retort. Open flames raise the temperature to 1654 degrees Fahrenheit (or more) for a period of approximately two to three hours. The time varies with each human remains.
Sometimes, the partially cremated remains are repositioned to facilitate completion of the cremation process. Repositioning the remains allows the cremation facility to use less fuel and is therefore more environmentally friendly.
To reposition the human remains, or to remove the cremated remains from the cremation chamber, a broad rake-like instrument is used. Every effort is made by the operator to completely remove every particle from the chamber floor; however, tiny particles may remain in the cremation chamber and become commingled with particles of another cremation. This is normal and unavoidable.
After the cremation process is complete, the cremated remains are removed from the cremation chamber and placed in a tray for cooling. They are then processed to their final consistency. The processed cremated remains are placed into an urn or some other type of container, according to the wishes of the family.
Most cremated remains weigh between 4 to 8 pounds, depending on the bone structure of the human remains.
Metal objects, such as jewelry and dental gold, may break down into small pieces during the cremation process. These small pieces, along with larger pieces of metal (e.g., hinges, screws and prostheses), may be removed from the cremated remains using a magnet or some other means, then disposed of according to local laws and our company policy.
Finally, the family chooses the final disposition of the cremated remains. Pending this decision, Highland Hills will hold the cremated remains for a very limited, specified time. The family may select inurnment in a permanent location such as a mausoleum/columbarium niche, cemetery plot (many cemeteries allow urns to be buried in the same plot as a previously-interred casket or other urn), or other special location of the family's choosing. Alternatively, the remains may be scattered in a cemetery scattering garden, at sea, or in some other location, so long as it is in accordance with local laws. However, the decision to scatter should be chosen carefully in that it is irreversible.
There are many funeral and ceremonial services available for those choosing cremation. Any further questions regarding the cremation process or services should be addressed to a Highland Hills cremation specialist.

The University of Pennsylvania and the University of Pittsburgh will sell long-term bonds over the next two weeks to refinance variable-rate debt and fund various projects.
The University of Pittsburgh plans to issue nearly $421 million of new-money and refunding debt this week. The Pennsylvania Higher Educational Facilities Authority next week will sell approximately $300 million of new-money and refunding bonds on behalf of the University of Pennsylvania.
Moody's Investors Service rates both schools Aa2 with a stable outlook. Standard & Poor's assigns its AA-plus rating with a stable outlook to UPenn and its AA rating with a stable outlook to Pitt.
The double-A ratings should stoke demand for the bonds even though investors are concerned about endowment losses in the higher-education sector.
"In general, higher-ed issuers are selling bonds at higher yields and there's more pressure on them because they're exposed - especially private universities - to endowment losses, so the risk of rating downgrades is higher over the next year," said Matt Fabian, managing director at Municipal Market Advisors.
John Mousseau, vice president and portfolio manager at Cumberland Advisors, said both schools are well known and investors may be looking for more return from such credits given current market conditions compared to a water and sewer deal or high-quality general obligation bonds. "The names themselves are both good, recognizable names and I think you probably could get paid more in terms of liquidity- more for that now certainly than you did a year ago," he said.
Barclays Capital will price the Pitt bonds this week. Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Merrill Lynch & Co. as co-senior managers will price $300 million of new-money and refunding bonds during the first week of March for the University of Pennsylvania. Ballard, Spahr, Andrews & Ingersoll LLP is bond counsel on the transaction.
The University of Pittsburgh will use a portion of the proceeds to refund Series 2007A variable-rate bonds that were swapped to a fixed rate.
"The entire Series 2007 A/B bonds were fixed via forward-dated interest rate swap agreements that became effective June 1, 2007, and have fixed contractual rates ranging from 3.1385% to 3.3764%," according to the school's fiscal 2008 audited report. "To ensure that the university has the liquidity to meet its bond obligations, the university has secured standby bond purchase agreements from two highly rated financial institutions."
Bond proceeds also will help finance capital projects and reimburse the institution for infrastructure improvements made in fiscal 2008. Including the upcoming transaction, Pitt will have $1.08 billion of outstanding debt.
The school has used derivatives to hedge its variable-rate debt, with swaps totaling a notional amount of $659 million. The school has $551 million of debt in fixed-rate mode, according to a Moody's report.
"Our Aa2 rating incorporates the risks associated with the derivatives which are substantially offset by the university's healthy level of unrestricted financial resources," the report said.
Average debt service coverage is approximately seven times'
The university relies upon three main areas of funding. Grants and contracts account for 38% of revenue, while net tuition and other revenue account for 30%. Funds from the state add up to 11%.
"Research contracts and grants continue to be a major revenue driver for the university, solidifying its strategic goals," according to a Standard & Poor's report. "Sponsored research totaled $642 million in 2008, a 25.1% increase since 2003. The largest source of these grants is the National Institutes of Health and funding levels are expected to remain stable."
The University of Pittsburgh's endowment showed a 0% growth in fiscal 2008, and a 9.8% loss in fiscal 2009, through Sept. 30. Total endowment market value was $2.2 billion as of Sept. 30, the report said.
One strength for the state school is that it could be in a position to increase tuition rates in the future to help support cash flows.
"I think from a pure state financial standpoint you will probably see tuitions go up on a budget basis because they need the money and because they can get the money," Mousseau said. "It's really an underpriced asset, state universities, and they have been for awhile, and it usually takes a recession to really show it."
Total full-time and part-time undergraduate and graduate enrollment at Pitt is 34,485 for the fall 2008 semester, an increase of 2.7% from 2006. However, Moody's and Standard & Poor's cite an anticipated drop in high-school graduation rates in Pennsylvania as a challenge going forward.
Full-time undergraduate tuition for the 2008-2009 school year ranges from $12,832 to $19,620, depending upon the program, according to Pitt's Web site.
The University of Pennsylvania will use its bond proceeds to help finance a new 500,000-square-foot medical building, the Anne and Jerome Fisher Translational Research Center, set to open in 2010. The $261 million facility will house biomedical laboratories, research space, imaging services, and offices.
Located in Philadelphia, UPenn has plans to connect its campus to the city's downtown area with additional pedestrian walkways and roadways and to build research centers, though it's now reevaluating some of those plans. It also has 42 acres of land for future development located in the school's eastern expansion area.
Stephen Golding, the university's treasurer and vice president of finance, said officials are reviewing plans and might make adjustments in light of the tighter credit markets and the softening economy.
"We had put a placeholder in potentially for additional borrowing, but obviously we have to evaluate all of our capital projects at this time," he said. "We're sort of putting those plans on hold."
Bond proceeds also will refinance $46 million of Series 2008A put bonds into fixed-rate mode and retire $77 million of variable-rate Quakertown General Authority Series 2008 bonds. There are no derivatives attached to the two series. In addition, UPenn may refund about $30 million of its Series 1998 bonds, depending upon market conditions, Golding said.
With this sale, the university will have $1.1 billion of outstanding debt.
During fiscal 2008, the endowment saw a negative 3.9% return, according to Moody's.
The university's endowment is now roughly $5 billion, Golding said.
While the endowment earnings account for 9% of UPenn's operating budget, revenue from the University of Pennsylvania Health System makes up 55% of operating revenues.
UPenn's fall 2008 total full-time and part-time undergraduate and graduate enrollment is 24,107, according to its Web site. Undergraduate tuition for the 2008-2009 school year is $37, 526.
While more students and families during the economic downturn may find it difficult to finance a UPenn education, Mood's analyst Dennis Gephardt said the school should be able to withstand those challenges.
"I think with their market position where they're selecting 17% of their applicants, they're relatively much better positioned than most private universities," Gephardt said. "Finding students and families with the ability to pay the tuition will be harder, yes - there will be more students with illustrated needs, but it won't be an insurmountable hurdle for them, in our view."

Minimum Stay | 4 nights |
Cabin sits on 60 feet of private shoreline. Two bedrooms, full kitchen and bath. Porch and living room overlook the lake and offer expansive views of the lake and all the nature that abounds. Small but efficient, don't pass up on the opportunity to relax and take in a breath of life on the lake in Hayward, WI. Covered boat lift up with private dock. Nelson Lake is located just a few miles north of beautiful Hayward Wisconsin, is home to a variety of fantastic Northwoods restaurants, lodges and taverns. Nelson lake is largely left untouched and boasts an unspoiled wilderness bordering the lake to create a largely undeveloped shoreline. With some of the area's best walleye fishing action and pristine waters, Nelson Lake caters to anglers, kayakers, canoers, and all water enthusiasts alike.
In the winter, Hayward snowmobile and cross country ski trails attract thousands from across the upper midwest. Miles of riding for snowmobilers and well-marked snowmobile trails provide convenient access to all the area's amenities, while cross country ski trails are always groomed for those seeking a quieter north woods experience.
Nice cabin on the lake. We will be coming back!
My husband and I stayed in this cabin for four nights over Labor Day Weekend. We had a great time. The cabin is RIGHT near the water; looking out the living room window, all you could see was beautiful Lake Nelson. We kayaked, hiked around the area, and sat on the dock petting the (very friendly!) neighbor dogs. I would definitely recommend this place to friends.
My mom and I did a girls trip to this cabin. It's a nice, cozy little cabin on a very quiet lake. It was great being close to town but far enough away to see the beautiful starts at night and hear the loons. Having a kitchen was very helpful so all meals didn't have to be eaten out. I would absolutely stay here again.
What a great little cabin on a delightfully quiet lake! We really enjoyed our 5 days on Nelson Lake in the "adorable cabin." We boated off the nice dock and rose early to watch the sunrises over the lake. We cooked some easy meals in and had a couple out at restaurants in Hayward. The extra towels were appreciated and all of the necessary items were in the cabin. The cabin is well situated near to Hayward, Cable and even Clam Lake, so there was lots to explore. And the Namekagon River is one of our favorites to canoe on. All in all a wonderful stay. Oh, and our dogs really enjoyed the week, too!
My family and I spent 3 nights on Nelson Lake. It was wonderful! The cabin is just the right size for 2 adults and 2 kids. I am sure we could have fit 2 more adults without and problem. This cabin had everything we needed and then some! It was clean, and cozy! The lake is great, very big and lots of room for water activities. Above all else, our neighbors are some of the kindest people we have had the pleasure of meeting! Thank you Mick for letting us rent your cabin! We will definitely be back!
We had a great stay in june at the cabin. Everything was as advertised. Our dog had so much fun swimming off the dock. We used the boat lift and everything worked great. The commute to hayward is an easy 10-15 minutes. Great cabin!
