Very nice property well-located. Only downsides were 1) bedroom / loft on 2nd floor with an awkwardly steep and narrow stairway; 2) poorly located electrical outlets in bedroom area made it a challenge to charge devices; 3) bathroom on first floor made it difficult for folks who needed to use the facilities during the night.

charming, cozy cottage

It has a charming, cozy atmosphere and a sense of connection to the surrounding landscape. My favorite part is the motion sensor lights on the staircase.

Lovely cottage

We had a very nice stay here. Loved the fresh eggs and flowers upon arrival. The sitting room upstairs with sky lights was great in the afternoon. Slept well under the layers of quilts provided. Highly recommend this cottage.

Nice and peaceful escape from the city. We appreciated that there were fresh eggs (!) for us and not a long list of cleaning to do at checkout (no list at all!) we enjoyed this cute quiet spot immensely.

Accommodating Yellow Cottage

Located not far from the Seattle Ferry. Owner is very kind and welcoming. Has all the comforts of home including French press, baking pans and other stove top pans, oven with broiler, Keurig and hot water kettle, Bose system, plenty of blankets, and what I loved was a full bath tub (and shower). Stay here for quiet place near the sea!

Excellent Stay

Everything about the stay was excellent. It's a great little place if you want some time on the island. Very clean, close to town and the north end ferry, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Absolutely recommend it.

Our hosts were very welcoming and the cottage was charming. The kid enjoyed checking out the small farm on the property (hello chickens!) and picking wild blackberries.
