Overview
Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, Bath, (Sleeps 6)
Looking for peace and privacy on a picturesque island in the San Juan islands? We have the perfect waterfront getaway: a charming cottage right on the beach. This 1900's vintage cottage is provides a cozy and inviting atmosphere with stunning views from the glassed-in 'wheelhouse.' Watch the boats and ferries come and go as you relax in comfort. Picnic on the lawn while viewing the activity in Harney Channel. Enjoy the resident deer, herons, eagles, cormorants, otters, and seals, and keep a lookout for the occasional whale. Although Shaw Island is considered the 'quiet island,' it is centrally located in the middle of the San Juans, with ready access to other islands from the ferry landing just steps away from your door. Getting here is easy: drive, bike or walk onto the ferry at Anacortes or come by kayak or boat. Moorage is available right outside the cottage. Our location is so picturesque that we are hosting weddings and special events on the lawn. Book your vacation or event soon!

Adorable house, relaxing setting
We absolutely loved this cottage on Shaw Island. The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend including stunning waterfront views and super quick access to the ferry dock. We will absolutely be back!!
fantastic getaway
Took my husband and his friends out to this affordable rustic but well equipped clean cottage for his birthday. Terri and Steve were gracious hosts who share great stories about its history. We had the best time grilling and chatting as the ferries frequently arrived and departed. I loved combing the little beach out front and walking the island. I also loved sitting in the wheelhouse and reading. I also have to mention how much wildlife we encountered. We saw deer, a bald eagle, robin, seagulls, pigeons, hummingbirds, swallows, domestic and wild geese, cats, eagles, crow, cows, chickadee, sheep, nuthatches, finches, dogs, and a river otter. Super affordable. We'll be back.
Great little getaway. Super nice hosts - thank you!
Loved the place; great location and quiet.
Curiously cute cottage.
What a splendid stay in such a beautiful cottage. The owners steve and terri were wonderful hosts that were always willing to help if we needed anything. Also having the store so close was quite convenient. I highly recommend this cottage andi tell all of my friends and family that they need to come out to shaw island. It was a completely relaxing trip. The one caviot is they can only accommodate up to 6 people. So having all the kids along wouldn't work. But it's a relaxing spot for a few people or a couple looking to get away.

My kids and I took our bikes over to Shaw on the ferry. Terry gave us a map of the island and marked out some great places for my young sons to encounter nature. It was fantastic and passenger bike trips inter island are free with your westbound ticket. Everyone was very kind and the island feels very remote. But you can catch a ferry over to orcas for dinner if you don't feel like cooking. The cabin was comfortable and well appointed, but we spent most of our time biking around the island;) I can't wait to go back!
Beautiful, Comfortable, Homey, Peaceful
This is truly one of the sweetest places I've had the pleasure of staying. Terri and Steve are generous, kind, and willing to accommodate just about anyones needs or share a tale of the island, historical knowledge, or a laugh. My husband and I have stayed here a few times and will continue to stay here in the future. The cottage is charming and comfortable and the view is to die for. Its always clean and bright. If you are looking for a place of peace amidst the chaos of the world, a place to reconnect with nature and self, Shaw is the place to come. I can't rave enough about the times we've enjoyed here. There are lovely beaches and trails around the island. It's great for biking. This spot is so easy to access from the ferry.
