This secluded and very cozy Whidbey Island cottage is the perfect romantic getaway for two! Start each day by taking in views of the forest through French doors in your bedroom. The kitchenette is equipped with all the amenities you need for light cooking, including a two-burner cooktop, a toaster oven, a microwave, a toaster, and a coffee maker. Outside, the surrounding trees make you feel far away from it all. And in the evenings, the firepit (be sure to bring some firewood) is the perfect place to sit and watch the stars come out overhead.
The avid golfer will love playing Holmes Harbor Golf Club and Useless Bay Golf & Country Club, both of which are within a short drive. For a beautiful waterfront and hiking trails, head to South Whidbey State Park. Or, grab a glass of wine at Holmes Harbor Cellars and check their website for seasonal events.

Fire and stars
This was a great place to stay for some seclusion. We loved the fire pit and how many stars you can see there. It had everything you could need to be comfortable for a few days. Very comfortable bed and pretty well set up kitchen.

Great house!
We really enjoyed our stay in this house! Very clean, easy to find and we had everything we needed. A little cold when we got there but it warmed up great after just a few minutes. We’ll definitely stay here again when we’re back on the island!

Tiny house in the woods
Loved the privacy from the back door. The house was cozy and easily accessible to all parts of the Island. We didn’t realize how close our neighbors would be. All said it was a beautiful place Thanks
Absolutely stellar accommodations, fit our needs completely! We spent a good portion of our time exploring the local sights/scene but getting back was a breeze.
While weather didn’t really permit the use of the fire pit (due to precipitation/allergies), this was exactly the type of location/facility that my wife and I needed!!!
Overall a great property. Comfortable and very quiet. Lots of wildlife to see including bunnies and grouse. Only a couple of minor problems. Main entrance to property is hard to find. Only one small microwave safe bowl, nothing else was safe for use in the microwave. Lastly there was a kurig coffee maker but no mention of bringing your own k- cups.
What a cute little cabin. Perfect for two people. The cabin was ready early which was wonderful. Check in was very easy. The owner who lives on the property road his bike over and gave us some suggestions of his favorite places on the island.

Adorable cabin for a getaway
This was the perfect little hideaway close to the water and a short drive to Langley and Clinton. It had all the important amenities. It was quiet and secluded and perfect for a romantic getaway

Very sweet, quiet and impeccably clean.
It was spotless and very charming. Wonderfully comfortable bed.
My partner and I had a lovely time staying in this very private cabin. We really enjoyed the nature surrounding the property and the lovely fire pit! Hopefully someday we'll be back!
Overall it was excellent. Please note that the plug behind the hot plate does not have power but once moved and plugged in another outlet it worked great. The coffee maker is asking to be descaled but I could not find descaler. The small skillet from under the counter was quite greasy as if used but not washed (now it is). Again, everything else was excellent.

Great Place
It was a quaint and cute place. Perfect for a weekend getaway!
This was a great little weekend getaway to a quiet and cozy guest house. The property was easy to get to and a quick drive to neighboring Coupeville and Freeland.
Great little place, with everything we needed. Secluded and very clean. It cost a tad bit more than we would have liked, but other than that it was great.
