Welcome to Cottage on Bison Pond located 3 1/2 miles from the picturesque town of Friday Harbor on San Juan Island.

(Permit 2001CU002) The location of our cottage is perfect for getting to and from town as well as driving to some of the most gorgeous destinations on the south side of the island. We are located only approximately 8 minutes to and from the heart of Friday Harbor. so really close to get to shopping and restaurants, and only 3 miles south to gorgeous walking beaches and trails along "South Beach" , "American Camp" and Mt. Finlaysen, some of the most explored destinations on the island. There is also a very scenic walking trail leading to "American Camp" directly from our property for those of you who love to commune with nature by foot. And for you golf addicts, the deck on the cottage looks directly onto San Juan Valley Golf Course which may cause you to be lured to play a round of golf during your vacation or at least want to take a leisurely walk around the links which many of our residents routinely do. And alternatively, for those who want to just hunker down and relax, you can simply nestle into our cottage deck or on the garden furniture facing our Pond and do absolutely nothing while experiencing the quiet and tranquility of our property. The cottage downstairs bedroom has a queen bed, clothes closet, storage space for luggage and good reading lamps on each side of the bed. It has an attached bathroom with luxurious absorbent towels and complimentary soaps and shampoos. The upstairs living room and utility kitchen has wonderful natural light coming through lots of windows and French doors leading on to two separate decks, both of which have patio furniture upon which to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine, while gazing on the rising sun or setting sunsets. The kitchen is equipped with a convection oven, microwave and toaster oven , countertop skillet for making pancakes, (however no stove) and plenty of dishes, silverware, serving utensils, a French press coffee maker, electric water heater and blender as well as glassware, napkins, salt, pepper, sugar, tea, coffee and bottled waters.

This cottage is just magnificent. You feel like you are in a private villa away from the city, but are just a few minutes away from Friday Harbor. We were greeted one morning by a number of deer in our backyard. We would definitely stay here again and world highly recommend it. You will feel right at home!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at The Cottage on Bison Pond. We were welcomed with beautiful flowers and a large bottle of sparkling water. The cottage was immaculate and had every convenience to make our stay comfortable. The bed was so comfortable. We enjoyed sitting out on both decks. Karen was easy to communicate with and even accommodated an extra day. We hope to return to beautiful San Juan Island some day!

Quaint retreat
This property is perfect for a long weekend retreat. It’s very quiet. Clean as pictured and had all the amenities we needed. The birds were lovely and we saw a little river otter in the pond on our arrival. Just a few min from Friday Harbor.

Beautiful relaxing stay on San Juan Island
We loved our stay in the cottage. Both patios offered excellent views and were wonderful for sipping coffee in the morning. The unit was beautifully furnished and even had banana bread and ice cream waiting for us.
The host was quick to answer all questions and was kind enough to mail us our car keys that we left behind. I would highly recommend this property for your next stay on San Juan!

Adorable place, great location
What a wonderful place! The cabin itself is well appointed and beautifully laid out, and the grounds are lush and spacious, with a pond and a little garden path. The location is perfect, out of the way enough that it's peaceful but just minutes from Friday Harbor and since it's a small island, only about 15 minutes from most destinations. Kitchen has everything you need for a couple days stay, and there was an abundance of towels and blankets. Host let us check in early and check out late and promptly responded to all communication both by phone and email. Extremely good price for what you are getting especially in the modern accommodations market. Highly recommend, would stay again.

Tranquility abound
This was an excellent property choice for us. The serene quiet setting at this cottage and listening to the birds couldn't be better. The inside of the cottage is bright, clean, and comfortable. The bed is a little firmer than we like. There is a small toaster oven, microwave, and griddle for cooking plus all dishes and utensils. Everything is nearby to include all recreation, grocery stores, and airport along with ferry. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back!

Wonderful weekend away
Property is exactly as pictured and better.
All of the linens and towels were extremely good quality. There were plenty of blankets and pillows. Loved the suitcase racks! The kitchen had a single cup coffee maker as well as a French press… and included pods and coffee as well as sugar and creamer. There was an amazing mini loaf of banana bread waiting for us that we thoroughly enjoyed. We had everything we needed to cook dinner there one evening- though no steak knives- but made do with other knives. Fridge is small but still worked out great.
This was a great location as well. With some searching I found the American Camp Trail near the house. It is 5.4miles round trip from the guest house to the visitor center. So I got some great trail runs in while there. Also super close to drive to American Camp and wander around- as well as close to town.
We loved our anniversary weekend away! Thanks for a great home.
