Imagine a cottage so beautiful that you feel like you have found a little slice of heaven. Now add in a grove of magnificent cedars as your landscape. For sounds only the occasional screech of an eagle as it sours high over head or perhaps the soothing rustle of the wind through the cedars. Your next door neighbor is a 150 acre park with walking trails leading down to one mile of secluded pacific beach. Impossible you say! Check out the pictures. We have recently finished an addition to our magical gingerbread cottage. We have added a new solarium downstairs and a deck upstairs as well as a beautiful gas fireplace to make the winter nights into a cozy intimate delight.
The Lily Point Park Cottage has been called the ultimate couples getaway. Nestled in a private wooded setting, the cottage is a dream come true for an intimate and serene holiday. You are secluded to the point that the only sounds you will hear are the wind and the birds. Yet you are five minutes to 'downtown' Point Roberts, a quaint village with several shops and a well stocked Market with plenty of inexpensive wine and beer. A short 45 minutes away is the awesome beauty and excitement of Vancouver BC. Be sure to click on the link to our website (at the bottom of this page) which shows in great detail the cottage and the area.
Outdoors is the incredible '4 points' experience. Incredibly, all four corners of Point Roberts are state parks. Each one is totally different. At Lighthouse Park you can feel the breeze from the Georgia Strait and whale watch. At Monument Park you can take the incredible new trail to the beach. At Lily Point Park you can walk the trails in the 150 acre wood and wander on one mile of secluded ocean beach and at Boundary Bay (Maple Beach) you can walk the miles of sand bars. All points are no more that 10 minutes drive from each other. Rain or Shine you can have a refreshing natural experience and then retreat to your own private cottage to rest, relax and recharge.
Lily Point Park Cottage is located in a grove of cedars on Lily Point, at the south east tip of Point Roberts. The eastern boundary of the cottage is Lily Point Park. This is a new state park of approximately 150 acres that contains some really beautiful hiking trails and an amazing mountain bike trail. You can follow these trails to your own private mile of Pacific beach. The quiet and tranquility will delight and envelope you. Yet, you are close to so many diversions.
The nearby Point Roberts golf course was rated one of the 10 best new courses in the USA or indulge in a delicious latte and desert at Café Cabana. For hard core local color, there is the Reef tavern and South Beach House restaurant offers excellent fare and a great view of the ocean.
The Lily Point Park Cottage is pure charm with antique windows, hardwood floors and lots of wood paneling. In the summer you can swim in the ocean on the sand bars. When the tides are right int he summer the water is 70 to 80 degrees. It does not get any more healthy than that.
BE SURE TO CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE ON THE LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE FOR LOTS MORE INFO ON THE COTTAGE AND THE AREA!
Note: We take pride in providing a first class vacation experience. We use freshly washed luxurious high thread count linen and the cottage is always cleaned, swept and vacuumed. But if you are looking for 5 star hospital clean, we are a cottage in the woods and this might not be what you are looking for.

Cozy Getaway

Where do I begin? Cute-- check... Cozy--check... Peaceful--check... The list goes on. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Perfect Gingerbread Cottage Getaway in Point Roberts, WA. My parents joined us for a couple of days and even though the quarters became quite tight we enjoyed it, nonetheless. Pat even put up a few Christmas decorations to make the cottage more festive for the holidays--nice touch... : ) The convertible bed has seen better days but the main bed in the upstairs bedroom is quite comfortable. As well, the bathroom is VERY tiny. Somewhat like a cruise ship, the shower and toilet share the small space in the bathroom. I am mentioning this because some may wish for a full bathroom with a tub. The four of us recognized that this was a cottage and not a hotel suite so we were not detered. As has been stated, the cottage is nestled in the midst of many cedar trees with paths from the back of the cottage to various bluff lookout points and down to the beach. Ahhhh... tranquility. What a perfect getaway. Thank you, for opening up your cottage to us Pat. It was truly a pleasure.

This morning woke to a symphony of rain on the metal roof and window panes. We're all "hoyglee" ("cozy" in Danish) inside this sweet cabin with its Scandinavian-simplicity. Why it's built so thoughtfully with tile along the diminutive staircase, wood-framed French doors and Bay windows - all which maximize the light and create a cherry little "boat-like" cabin in a sea of ferns. Lovely indeed! And to add to this experience - miles of woods and bluff trails leading to a long beach flecked with the white shell bits of ancient midden sites. It's no wonder, this place feels welcoming. This peninsula whose thumb pokes into Boundary Bay has been inhabited for 1000s of years. Thank you for this restorative stay!

Thanks for a great time! The cottage is so cute and a great alternative to camping (ewww). We all had a great time at the beach and watching Seinfeld and playing "Rummy" (I won as you can see on the page before) (HAHA!). We will be back in the summer. Suggestion: make it more clear on Craig's list you do have a monitor to watch movies (which was AWESOME). Discoball would be great above table (haha!)

Your cottage was an amazing place to write. I cannot believe how much I got done and I managed to fit in some gorgeous walks as well. Saw herons, eagles, rabbits, birds, cows, horses - beaut,love. The rain and wind were welcome friends as well. The cottage is perfect. I'll be back in the summer with my boys in tow. THANK YOU!

Lily Point is Magical

The cabin is so charming. Lily Pt. is magical. Having the trails so near was amazing. Walk every trail! Each one is special. The micro-oven does everything. You can get fresh fish to cook at Brewsters on Tuesday and Friday. The halibut and mussels were excellent. Visit Liberty Wine Shop. The wine is carefully chosen from $5 to $20, 000. Our dog, Billy, thought he was in heaven. We saw eagles, a big owl, and black squirrels. Many thanks. The cabin was even fun in the rain.

Dear Pat, in answer to your question: we're happy! We love the cabin. The people of Pt. Roberts are terrific - so friendly and helpful and kind! It is an extraordinary place with its beaches and forests. Weather was perfect. It was a wonderful place for three friends (one from New Zealand, one from IL, and one from New York) to converge after 25 years. Thank you! On the suggestions... all good couches must come to an end sometime, and I fear that your sofa has met its final days. It's time for a new one. Otherwise, the design of the cabin is great, compact, functional - but big enough for 3 middle aged ladies <-- (also known as "women in their prime"). We'll be back! Thanks!
