Feeling at home is often found in the smallest details.

The blanket within reach when the evening cools. A bed you sink into after a day spent exploring. A kitchen where everything is right where you need it. Spaces that feel considered, comfortable, and ready from the moment you arrive.

At Esterre, those details are intentional. Each home is thoughtfully prepared so that time away feels less like settling into somewhere new, and more like returning to somewhere familiar.

We’re grateful when guests notice the details—and even more so when they leave feeling truly at home.

Something new is taking shape along the water.

Coming soon to the Esterre collection, Fidalgo Passage is tucked among the evergreens above Burrows Bay, offering the feeling of an island escape with the ease of being just over 90 minutes from Seattle—no ferry required.

Here, days can begin slowly with morning light over the bay, then unfold however you'd like. Paddle along the shoreline. Hike the trails of Deception Pass. Wander the galleries and waterfront streets of Anacortes or La Conner. Then return for golden hour on the deck and an evening beneath the stars.

Inside, Fidalgo Passage is being thoughtfully prepared for the way time away should feel, with expansive water views, radiant heated floors, spaces for gathering and unwinding, and the thoughtful details that define every Esterre home.

For those who have been following along, visiting the homes, or considering ownership, this may be a rare moment to step into the collection.

A new place to explore. A new place to return to.

Your homes away from home.

Esterre offers ownership in a curated collection of homes across Washington’s most remarkable settings — from mountain peaks to island shorelines.

Each home is fully furnished and professionally managed year-round, so every stay feels prepared, consistent, and ready from the moment you arrive.

Instead of managing a single property, ownership becomes access to places you can return to — season after season.

Different places. One consistent experience.

There should be something between owning a second home entirely on your own and starting from scratch with a different rental every time you get away.

That belief is part of what inspired Esterre.

A collection of thoughtfully chosen homes across Washington, designed to offer diversity of place with the certainty of ownership and a consistent experience wherever you arrive.

Different settings. Different ways to escape. The same sense of knowing what awaits you when you open the door.

Founder and CEO Michael Burns shares more about the thinking behind Esterre and why we believe there’s a better way to own a second home.

What if owning less of the responsibility gave you more of what you wanted from a second home?

Esterre was created around a different idea of ownership—one that offers real equity in a collection of fully managed homes, without tying your time, capital, and attention to a single destination.

More places to experience. Fewer logistics to manage. And the freedom to spend your time away actually being away.

On the blog, we explore why co-ownership doesn't have to mean compromise—and how a more intentional approach can change what it means to truly own.

The places they know are the places you bring them.

A trail through the evergreens. A morning along the shoreline. A new stretch of beach to wander together. With pet-friendly homes across the Esterre collection, there’s no reason your favorite companion has to miss the places worth discovering.

More of the Pacific Northwest for you. More of the world for them. 🐾

Where the wild feels like home.

Perched above the Elwha River on three private acres, The Elwha brings the landscape of the Olympic Peninsula to your doorstep.

Designed by renowned Seattle architect Norman Sandler, the home is surrounded by towering evergreens with views toward the Strait of Juan de Fuca—and just minutes from Olympic National Park. Inside and out, there’s space to settle into the setting: three wood-burning fireplaces, quiet reading nooks, an expansive deck, hot tub and endless pool, a detached movement studio, and gardens and an orchard waiting just beyond the door.

Spend the morning hiking through moss-lined forests or along the river. Wander the shores of Lake Crescent. Head into Port Angeles or across the Strait to Victoria. Then come home to a fire, a long soak, and the quiet of the trees.

A home for exploring the wild—and slowing down within it.

The Elwha is coming soon to the Esterre collection.

A weekend at The Elwha can take you in any direction.

Start slowly with coffee, spend the morning beneath the trees, make your way to Lake Crescent for an afternoon on the water, or head into Port Angeles for dinner along the harbor. The next day might mean mountain views at Hurricane Ridge, a walk along the Strait, or even a ferry ride to Victoria.

At Esterre, the beauty of returning is getting to know a place beyond a single itinerary — one weekend, and one favorite spot, at a time.

Save this for your next stay at The Elwha.
