I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. It was my pleasure to meet you all. You seem like a really fun loving group of ladies. I look forward to hosting you again sometime in the future.
This house was just what we needed. We had family staying on a boat at the marina so we weren’t at the house much, but when we came back it was lovely. Comfy bed, kitchen had enough pots and pans to make dinner easily. Would stay again
So glad you enjoyed your stay at Wildflower Cottage retreat. Thanks for being such a great guest. I hope you will consider booking with us again on your next visit to beautiful San Juan Island.
It felt like you’re living in a tree house. You’re surrounded with beautiful green trees. Deer, fox and a BIG cat came visiting. A wonderful place to enjoy life.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for leaving Wildflower Cottage Retreat in such g eat condition and following the check out procedures. I look forward to hosting you again on your next visit to beautiful San Juan Island.
Perfectly suitable for our group. Loved that it was in a quiet, wooded setting. We didn't do any cooking, but we noticed how well-equipped the kitchen was. I wished the bathtub stopper had worked.

Thanks so much for the great review. It has taken a long time to be able to get a plumber to come and fix the stopper. He's been scheduled for October for almost a year and he just told me he wouldn't be able to come until November now. In fact, all tub and shower fixtures will be changed out to match the sink fixtures. Nothing moves even remotely quick here on the island. I apologize for the inconvenience.
The property was perfect for our weekend trip with friends; we loved the cornhole games and beautiful outdoor space to gather!

Thanks for the great review Greta and thanks for being a wonderful guest as always. So glad you enjoyed your second stay. I look forward to hosting you again on your next visit to beautiful San Juan Island.
Great place. Clean and spacious! Bigger than I anticipated. Having a working, clean grill with a wonderful deck, along with a fully-stocked kitchen was a huge plus for us! This is the best kitchen we’ve had with VRBO and we generally eat-in when traveling, so it was wonderful.
Cute home in a beautiful setting. Worked well for 4 adults traveling together. Very clean, beds exceptionally comfortable. Close to great restaurants at Roche Harbor.
Thanks for being such a great guest. So glad you enjoyed Wildflower Cottage Retreat. I hope you will consider booking with us again on your next visit to beautiful San Juan Island.
It was a nice getaway with my family for Thanksgiving. House definitely needs more rugs.

Thanks so much for your review. The entire floors at Wildflower Cottage Retreat were just replaced a day before you checked in and the new rugs had not yet been delivered. We did reuse the one that was in the living room and at the entry, also at the back door and kitchen and bathrooms. There are normally rugs in the primary bedroom, which arrived the day after you checked in and are now in place. Please let me know if you have suggestions for other areas you feel could use rugs.

Thanks so much for the review and being such a great guest. I hope you will consider booking with us again on your next visit to beautiful San Juan Island.
As the tag line says, this is the perfect place to relax, unwind, and explore the island. The house is beautifully furnished with attention to detail. It is located in a very quiet location surrounded by forest, while also being conveniently located about a mile and a half from Roche Harbor. The hosts were excellent throughout. Absolutely fabulous!
