Lovely little cottage with great kitchen and bath. Perfect location on the island, peaceful setting. A great place to unwind.

Nice and peaceful escape from the city. We appreciated that there were fresh eggs (!) for us and not a long list of cleaning to do at checkout (no list at all!) we enjoyed this cute quiet spot immensely.

This was a cozy, comfortable cottage and well furnished. A very quiet & private location close to town, shopping & restaurants. The owners were very friendly and we would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Located not far from the Seattle Ferry. Owner is very kind and welcoming. Has all the comforts of home including French press, baking pans and other stove top pans, oven with broiler, Keurig and hot water kettle, Bose system, plenty of blankets, and what I loved was a full bath tub (and shower). Stay here for quiet place near the sea!

Everything about the stay was excellent. It's a great little place if you want some time on the island. Very clean, close to town and the north end ferry, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Absolutely recommend it.

Lovely property, the host was very friendly. Easy to get to and find. The plums they left out for us from their farm were the best I’ve ever had. Would stay here again and recommend to others.

I stayed here this past weekend and despite the rainy weather, had an incredible time! The cabin is homey and so sweet. Debra was so helpful and kind and reached out to let me know that she was available if my friend and I needed anything. She also left us some fresh chicken eggs to use, which was a lovely touch. I would definitely recommend a friend to visit!

The cottage was small and suitable for the two of us. The stairs were very steep making it somewhat scary to navigate in the middle of the night. We went out to dinner and when we returned, it was very cold. We tried to get the heat to work, but weren’t successful. Other than that, it was clean and comfortable.

So clean and well stocked. Beautiful little cabin. We were a bit worried of the bedrooms being upstairs because of the heat, but not to worry, Debra thought of that too. Fans and and AC unit were running when we arrived. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We'd stay here again. Host was friendly and accessible. House was small (as expected), but really nice and very clean. Bright and welcoming. The only downside is that the house number sign was a little hard to see from the road, but that was easy to get used to.
