    Great little house comfortable for 2. Beautiful scenic setting and very cozy. Nice view of the water. Very clean and everything we needed for a short stay. Only negative was the well water - can smell strange.

    We spent three nights at the cottage, which was clean, comfortable and very peaceful. The views of Holmes Bay were great from either inside, or on the comfortable deck and hammock, where all you can hear are the birds. Very easy drive to Langley, where we found plenty of great places to eat and shop, and good beaches and hikes to explore in the state parks. Owner Kimberly was very helpful with suggestions for the area.

    This was a perfect spot for a quiet getaway. The views were incredible and the cabin was exactly what my wife and I needed for a quick getaway. The descriptions were spot on, and the check in/out process was easy. If you’re looking for peaceful silence, this is the spot.

    The photographer deserves a deception award or the photos are decades old. This property is a complete misrepresentation minus the view. There is no cleaning fee because it is barely cleaned. The water smelled so rank I wouldn't use it to brush my teeth, etc. Showered at my daughter's house after I realized the horrible smell & dark stains on sink. The gazebo looked like it was going to fall in on itself. The stairs down to the advertised beachfront were broken and unusable and I asked her prior where to rent a kayak and she never mentioned we could not use the beach stair. That's a lie. The color of them was completely different in photos to represent a more well-kept property. The multiple barking dogs were the only disruption to the peace and quiet. All in all this cabin was completely misrepresented with a layer of filth and a great view. Dishes were gross. The water stunk so bad. The towels stunk terribly. I don't even think all the 10 reviews are real. There's no way. It's an island with great views everywhere. The price was not a steal. I fell in love with the view and gazebo and walk down to the beach bc my kid lives on island but we wanted beach front. I could have stayed w her for free if we had to drive to the beach all the time. Of course the pics won't be exact but this is way off and no mention of the gross water situation. The nook and view were only saving grace but I could have paid same or little more for nicer, cleaner, NO bad water

    Upon arrival, we tried to go to the beach but the steps had been destroyed. The gazebo looked like it should be condemned. The water REAKED of sulfur so bad we didn’t even want to shower and I grew up with my family having a septic tank and well water. The view was nice and so was the location but the rest was nasty. I booked this location to have access to the beach and was very disappointed.

    Out stay could not have been nicer. We were in search of a relaxing and “off the beaten path” destination and we found it! Kimberley is a wonderful hostess-available and responsive with the few questions we had and she provided everything we needed for a 3-day stay. The bed was comfy and provided a wake up view of the forest and waterway as did the living room and kitchen. Lots of windows! We felt like a part of nature as we looked out at the lovely gardens and dense forest! Whidbey island has lots of beaches and hiking trails and kayaking. Kimberley knows the island well and made great suggestions for our adventures. We would happily return to the cottage!

    Stayed here with my wife and overall, it’s a solid spot with some great views and a really quiet atmosphere. The cottage is well set up and has everything you need, plus good WiFi if you’re working remotely.A few things to keep in mind: the shower and toilet are pretty small, especially if you’re a bigger person, and the queen bed felt a bit tight for us. My biggest disappointment was not being told ahead of time that the stairs to the water were out—I was looking forward to using the beach.

    The view was amazing. There was no access to the private beach as advertised due to significant damage to the stairs. The hammock had weeds growing through it and the patio furniture was pretty moss covered. We did enjoy both the outdoor and indoor fireplaces which was lovely, however we were concerned there was no smoke detectors or fire extinguisher incase of an accident. Overall it was a nice stay with outstanding sunset views.

    My husband and I spent a few days at this well-built and private cabin on Whidbey Island. We totally enjoyed the comfortable bed and cozy fires in the fireplace each night. We were close to excellent restaurants, but also made a few meals at home in the cabin. I would’ve appreciated some directions for the induction cooktop as well as more lighting in the kitchen area. We were also under the impression that the location was right on the beach and not on a cliff overlooking the beach, and would’ve enjoyed walking at low tide had it not been such a hike up and down. But all in all we totally enjoyed our stay.

    Thank you so much for a truly wonderful and peaceful experience. Your easy and responsive communication made booking and instruction so simple and effortless! Your cottage was magical! Sitting out on your beautiful deck, surrounded by pine trees, beautiful waters, watching the birds and even an eagle, outside fire lit, I lost track of time and found such joy in these moments! I could hear myself again. Exploring your special island with hikes and visits to quaint towns during the day, I couldn’t wait to return to your cottage to make a meal in your kitchen, which had absolutely everything I needed, and sit on the window bench with the glorious view outside. The inside fireplace and couch was so cozy, and the bed was perfectly heavenly! I can’t remember the last time I slept so well. Thank you for your touches of supplies to make a s’more, fragrant shower sachets, and supply of fresh water. It was the most glorious stay, can’t wait to visit again! This is truly a special stay! Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

    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

    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.
