The Space:

LONG STAY "Long stay discounts are available during the off season on a case by case bases. Message us to receive a quote."



You will have complete run of this cottage which sits about 6 feet away from the larger home that we live in. There is a grassy lawn and patio between the cottage and cliff side fence for shared enjoyment by your hosts and other guests which may also be staying on the property. Inside you will find this to be a well stocked unit with ROKU TV, Netflix, etc. All furnishings and supplies are of good quality.



Look up the Mattress you will be sleeping on: Amazon - Zinus Memory Foam 12 Inch Green Tea Mattress, Queen.



Living room sofa contains a COMFORTABLE pull out queen bed. We have modified the pull out sofa to give it the needed support and comfort you would expect from a standard bed.



Kitchen has Pots, Pans, Sinks, 4 burner stove plus oven, Microwave Oven, Toaster, Coffee Maker, Grinder and ORGANIC Coffee, Full Size Refrigerator, Plates, Glasses, Bowls and more; it is setup with all that you will need for cooking good quality meals.



Last Minute Bookings, No Worries, we are staying on top of it and will respond quickly to your request.



About our Authentic Home Made India Food - Of course it is delicious. We use pesticide free and organic ingredients to the extent that is possible. We do serve food most nights with advanced notice, frequently we can serve you on short notice, and sometimes things come up and we just cannot provide food service, even if you have arranged it in advance. So please understand, we will do our best to honor our commitment to serve food but there are no guarantees. Ask for our menu. This is an add on charge.



Guest Access:

The entire cottage.

The back yard.

NO access to the deck of the main house except by invitation.



The Neighborhood:

What is special about our neighborhood is that it is in a semi-rural big land suburban area of Anacortes. It is generally quite here (except for moderate roadside traffic that is only noticeable if you focus on it). The best thing I have to say about this area is you can spend months here exploring all the amazing beaches and natural beauty. This property is cliff side but without direct beach access.



CAUTION: If you come with little ones, they should be well behaved enough not to climb on the picket fence that leads to the blackberry bushes that line cliffs.



Getting Around:

You pretty much need a car to go out and explore, yet there is a nice rural-suburban walk along a dirt road on the north side of Lake Erie (without lake access, only private homes)



Other Things to Note:

**** Important **************

Kids must be watched and well behaved, because...

- Cliff side property

- Fast but moderate traffic road outside the driveway



DOGS ON LEASH AT ALL TIMES



ROAD NOISE: We do have some road noise. MOST guests barely notice it. SOME guests do have issues with it. If you are highly sensitive to noise or can't stop focusing on it, then this is not the place for you. We live here and rarely notice it. It is the worst when standing outside in the drive way and trying to have a conversation. But inside of the units, out back enjoying the amazing views, which is where most people spend most of their time, most people don't even notice it. It is barely audible.



Interaction with Guests:

We're almost always available onsite, by text, by phone or by AirBnb messages. We'll send you our text number.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Host profile image
We are a mature, reliable and responsible couple who aim to make your stay in our vacation rental a 5 star experience. We are non-conventional outside-of-the-box sort of people.

Shyni is from India and she brings with her the wisdom of an ancient culture. She has worked as a caregiver, nurse, and as a coordinator and manager of multiple businesses.

Michael is American born and raised, but has traveled the world. A software engineer by trade.

While we both enjoy the company of good people and new friends, we are also very busy, so we need to strike a balance between daily socialization with our guests and accomplishing our chores and goals.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property for its amazing views and its two separate dwelling that we could rent out. Also it has .4 acres of bare land we intend to begin farming soon.
