The great room is very large and an open concept that include the kitchen, living room and dining room and has luxury vinyl plank flooring, vaulted ceilings, a skylight and large picture windows that let in the natural sunlight. Relax on the loveseat and sofa, read a book across from the electric fireplace for that calming ambiance or enjoy family time watching a movie on the 55" flat screen television with satellite service.

The spacious, fully equipped kitchen was recently updated with new stainless appliances and granite countertops. There is both a traditional coffee maker as well as a Keurig. The dining area has seating for 6 and there is also bar seating for 3. There is plenty of space to enjoy board games or to work on a puzzle.

Wonderful property close to Roche Harbor

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the Wildflower Cottage. The property was very clean and had everything we needed including a well stocked kitchen. It was so nice to have a high chair, playard, and toddler dishes for our 12 month old and games/puzzles to use during the rainy days of our visit. We will definitely stay here again!

Fantastic place

Everything about our stay at this place was amazing. I was particularly impressed with how well stocked the kitchen was. It's incredibly thoughtful to have condiments, coffee, hot chocolate, loads of spices, and even cooking oil already available. The home was fairly easy to locate, even in the dark of night. I loved the location close to the harbor, and the quiet solitude that the area provided. I can't wait to return!

Wildflower cottage is comfortable in a great location

The house was a great base for my family exploring San Juan Island for a few days. We were very comfortable. We made and are several meals in the kitchen. Several of my family members enjoyed the outdoor games, too. The floor has some damaged areas that we took care when walking on, but we know the owner and property manager were aware of it.

Perfect three bedroom home for the weekend or week. Has lots of extras in the kitchen. Private lot hidden in the trees. You have to really look to see your neighbors, big yard and covered deck to play outside in. And in just a few minutes drive you’re at Wescott Bay or Roche Harbor.
