Cute cottage, great location

My family of four stayed at Quartermaster Cottage while visiting family on Vashon and had a wonderful stay. The cottage had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and the views were spectacular! We enjoyed being just steps from the market, a coffee stand, and some cute shops. We would definitely stay here again.
