Washington Hillside Retreat

Perched above the Puget Sound on the San Juan Islands, the Hillside Retreat is a compact complement to the Hillside Sanctuary. The two-bedroom dwelling, designed by Hoedemaker Pfeiffer, offers a modest guest house for visiting family. Its stone exterior harmonizes with the natural surroundings while a shed roof echoes the main house's Appalachian spirit. Inside, light-filled living spaces sit above a pair of bedrooms. To the west, a wooden box containing a glazed dining room floats above the landscape in the treetops. Although windows throughout the interior frame in views of the rugged setting, an outdoor terrace cantilevers toward the water, affording sweeping views of the coastal scenery.

Roborock Q Revo

For its latest offering, Roborock amped up the mopping system. The Q Revo features new dual liftable spinning mops that polish floors at 200 rpm high. There's no need to remove the mop heads. When the robot detects carpet, the mops automatically lift, and the upgraded 5,500 Pa vacuum kick in. Smart reactive tech ensures the device avoids and detects obstacles when in use, while its intelligent mapping system allows owners to create no-go zones and fast cleaning options in the app. After each clean, the Q Revo returns to its docking station, where it empties, washes, refills, and dries the device all on its own for a truly hands-off experience. Enjoy $220 off through end of November.
