Beautiful property and view, well supplied cottage, good location for getting to Langley, Freeland and Greenbank… private with flowers, pond and tall treed woods.
This comfortable and cozy cottage was the ideal place for a weekend getaway for two. It's perfectly situated looking west over the water; there are many windows, a lovely little deck and a hammock from which to enjoy the view. It's next to a larger house, but sited in such a way to create some privacy. We hope to be able to stay here again.
What a charming cottage with all the necessities and views to die for. Wonderful back deck with so many places to relax. The special touches including fresh flowers and coffee supplies was the icing on the cake.
We will be back.
We enjoyed the view of the sound. Hammock and window seat were restful and renewing. Sitting out on the deck with fire pit was mesmerizing. Appreciated the bottled water to offset sulfur tap water. Great place to relax, read and sleep.
This place was a great find. Very cute little cottage with beautiful views and sunsets. Host lives on site and responds quickly. Close to downtown Freeland and a few other charming towns. Not a family place as it's only a 1 bedroom but it would be great as a couples long weekend get away.
Second time we’ve stayed here. Once this summer when it was sunny and now this rainy fall. What a cozy sweet place in great spot with a wonderful view!
Maybe the only downside is the sulfury tap/shower water from the well. There’s bottled water to use but the shower is maybe the only less than perfect thing here.
Great location on Whidbey: feels like you’re far from everything but most places but close to Langley and Freeland. The cottage is exactly as pictured and described. Loved the quiet wooded waterfront location, lovely deck with hammock and sunset views, and access to the beach. Inside, we enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and slept well on the comfy bed. Hostess responds quickly and is kind. We arrived to two vases of fresh flowers from her garden. Highly recommend
My wife and I loved everthing about this cottage. The views, the privacy, and all the cozy places to relax or snuggle up and read a book. Loved cooking our meals in the cottage, and especially on the wood cook stove. The owner put a lot of sweet details into the cottage; fresh flowers, chocolates, wood for the fire, etc.We did go out and adventure around the towns but truly felt like we should have spent all our time in the cottage. All in all, this was one of the most enjoyable places we have vacationed to, and will recommend it to everyone we know.
The property is beautiful and we were in awe of the rhododendrons along the driveway leading into the property. The cottage and exterior need a major investment in cleaning and upgrading basic things like the chair cushions, plants in cracking pots, deep cleaning of upholstry and carpet. The gazebo appears not to have been touched in quite some time with a cracked roof. The outside glass table for example seemed to have been left untouched from the winter with grime covering the surface as I put my notebook to do some writing. The place feels rather tired and worn-out. We did appreciate the flashlights and battery candles on hand.
Beautiful location with stunning views! Deborah was quick at responding to a question we had. The cottage was clean and so pretty! We enjoyed our stay immensely!
beautiful property i had looked at for years, host next door, welcoming-cottage is intimate romantic with evety detail in place beautiful deck, walks on paths. just a perfect stay
Awesome little cottage on the water in Whidbey perfect for a weekend getaway from the city. Great communication, easy access and everything was as advertised. Highly recommended!
