Why Jonathan Rosenberg chose Island County
Our family has always had a strong connection to Whidbey Island and the Puget Sound. We wanted a quiet home that would be close to the Island's beautiful beaches, schools, and essential grocers, while also maintaining a feeling of solitude in the Evergreen-tree lined forests. We were always moved by the feeling of living in a meadow over a water bog, and love the active outdoor life that surrounds the property!
What makes this Cottage unique
Dogs are OK, up to 2; please let us know how many and if you would like to have more then 2 at the cottage. As for the property, it provides numerous benefits that are both unique and soothing. We immediately fell in love with the feeling of being away from it all - the quiet swoosh of the Evergreen trees plus the friendly gaze of the green grass and lush meadow below. The view from the bedroom seemed pastoral, and the trees provided us a sense of tranquility and privacy. We also liked being close to the charming village of Langley.

Location
The Langley Cottage offers you the Puget Sound's finest value in accommodations, amenities, and spaciousness - with more tranquility and clean living space than a top-notch hotel. Offering nearly 1,200 square feet of elegant, rustic roominess, the cottage is your perfect home-base for enjoying the natural beauty and attractions of Langley and Greater Whidbey Island. A wide variety of delicious restaurants, gorgeous beaches, beautiful museums, and adventurous recreational attractions, including plenty of breathtaking scenic areas - surround the cottage community. Hikers can explore the surrounding beaches, trails, and villages, while avid golfers can play holes at the Useless Bay Country Club or beyond; mountain bike enthusiasts can explore the nearby forest trails, and everyone can find joy in visiting Whidbey's green parks, highly-acclaimed food spots, and expansive natural and historic areas. Food enthusiasts will be delighted by the nationally-renowned Village Pizzeria and the ever-delicious, Turkish-inspired, Cafe Langley. Kayak rentals, snorkeling, antiquing, and hiking are just a few more of the popular activities visitors to the Evergreen-lined Island enjoy. But don't forget to stay home on a rainy day by the cottage woodstove, as you watch birds, rabbits, and deer escape from the wet, a hot chocolate warming on the stove, and your DVD queued up for a family night indoors.
