In their words:
"I have been coming here to this paradise for many years. Every year when I go back to Florida I say, "That was the most perfect time I ever had." This beautiful place is one of God's most perfect parts of the planet. This year I have seen it for the first time in Spring. Everyting is blooming and the colors are stunning. The generosity of Chuck & Amy, their love and care is overwhelming. Bonnie has travelled with me, it is her first time here, and she has fallen in love. Sadly I have to leave now and when I get home I will say, "That was the most perfect time I have ever had." Thanks.
"We had such a peaceful relaxing time at your little cottage in the woods. I worked on a baby quilt for my great grand daughter and enjoyed the freedom from distraction so I could put my whole heart into it. So very peaceful. The birds, the moss on the walkway, the hand crocheted curtains, the stained glass windows, the cake tin, the old fashioned door bell on the front porch. What a beautiful cottage. The beds are comfy, we slept well. I sat outside in the sunshine and handstitched on the quilt, it was so lovely!"
"Thank you for the cozy, relaxing get away. We really enjoyed coming back to this place after a long day of kayaking! We enjoyed walking down to the beach, and watching the hummingbirds and woodpeckers in the yard. We had a nice visit to the island and I appreciated "island tme" where everything slows down."
"This is the perfect place for my much needed retreat. The birds and blooms were food for my spirit. The walk to the beach was fantastic. The peace and charm of this quiet little cottage was magical. Thank you for sharing this- I hope to return soon."
"This is the sweetest cabin. And the garden is immaculate. Beautiful furnishings, very homey. Amy's cabin is in the rainforest on Bainbridge Island on a quiet lane with easy country walking. The patio is a delight. The weather was beautiful during our stay. This is an amazing value for the price. I love it! Thanks Amy & Chuck for your assistance and warmth!"
"We loved your beautiful little cottage- the hummingbirds, the doe and her fawn, the racoon, and most of all its peacefulness and serenity. Thank you both so much- this is a place that we will remember."
"What a relaxing weekend here at your beautiful cottage. A great way to kick off Spring. The sound of singing birds, long walks, and enchanting evenings. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for the wonderful memories. PS- We couldn't resist buying the cottage a butterfly windchime."
"Many, many thanks for a wonderful week in your cozy little house. It is so peaceful and relaxing here- we are so sad to have to leave! But we are leaving refreshed and ready to face the world again! We will miss the solitude, hearing the rain on the roof and especially the doe and fawn who come to eat berries each day. Butterfly Cottage will always be a happy memory for us!"
"We love your cottage! It is immaculate and inviting. We really enjoyed our time in this amazing area."
"A charming cottage in a ideal setting. We loved our stay here. Bainbridge Island is a special place for us- family and friends here. Amy's is just perfect. Thank you so much."
"Thank you for sharing your lovely retreat with us! It is always nice to escape to an island and be amongst the butterflies."
"Thank you so much for your lovely cottage! Although I was here on business this was a wonderful morning and evening respite. So nice to be in a quiet place."
"Thanks for the use of your lovely cottage! It is a comfortable, well-appointed cottage in a lush, green setting."
"We loved this place. I am so glad we found it. First time to Bainbridge Island and we just love it. We will be back. Your place is wonderful. Thank you so much!"
"Eat. Sleep. Love. Relax. Lilacs."

Why the Owner Chose Bainbridge Island
We wanted to provide a special, romantic, private getaway for our friends, family and valued guests.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
This is a very clean, very beautiful, very memorable and very private place for a getaway or mini-vacation.
Ferrydale Coastal Stroll: Park at Battle Point Park and cross the street to the north. Look for the blue access sign and follow the mystical trail to the water.
A great place to rent a kayak or a canoe for the day or by the hour. Call 206-842-9229 to check prices and availability.
Our largest park with walking and bike trails, a pond with bluegill fishing, and access to the Grand Forest trail system. Easy walk up the street from the cottage.
Acres of forest with a biking and walking trail system that would take days to explore.
The jewel of our island with retail garden store; books, tools, unique gifts, an amazing collection of NW plants and outdoor decor, and a delicious cafe for soup, salad and sandwiches.
The island's best thai food is next door to a convenience store with a great wine collection.
Try the Treehouse for lattes in the morning, panini sandwiches for lunch, and home-made pizzas and draft beer for dinner. The theater boasts independent films and another couple of favorite restauran
A day hike with a lake to seashore trail system that ends in Lynwood Center with its restaurants and store. Watch out for the owls in early spring!
A delightful forested walk along the water with boat launch, fishing from the shore and additional trails with wildlife and sea life to discover.
