Upon arrival, drive down the wooded lane past the serene pond and lush orchard populated by our friendly geese.

One of the highlights of the cottage is the spectacular view from the cozy window seat or comfy queen size bed. The huge picture windows look directly out to the mountains, water, sunset and the bright stars at night. A sun shade on the outside of the bedroom picture window can be pulled down for privacy and for shade to block the hot sun in the afternoons or tone down the morning light if you want to sleep in.
Bring your own smart device for streaming content to the large screen TV in the bedroom via HDMI cable or Google Chromecast once you've logged into the cottage high speed internet WiFi. There's also a DVD and VHS player attached to the TV with a nice selection of movies provided.
The private sandy beach is very walk-able except during the highest tides. There is a large deck with picnic table and benches for sitting and laying out on when the tide is in. Our little shallow and sandy cove is also great for a refreshing swim on hot evenings, so bring your suits!

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.
beautiful view overlooking the water
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 photos don’t do justice of this adorable, quaint, and cozy cottage! It was breathtaking in the summer and we would love to come out and cozy up again in the fall/winter! The hostess was so friendly and inviting! We can’t wait to go back!
Great location and view
Absolutely wonderful in all aspects. It was my husbands 71st birthday. We watched whales eat right from our deck for an hour. I have not got one thing negative to say about this property, the owner or the process. It is our new haven to return to!! Thank you
Love the cottage, cozy and charming.
Everything went great. Quiet, beautiful views.
Great
The makings of a cozy hideaway but missed the mark. No curtains on the big open windows. Lovely during the day but really needed at night for privacy. Fireplace and wood cooking stove but not a stitch of wood. Kitchen area was quite the challenge to cook in. Just a little bit of effort on the owners part and it would have made a huge difference to our stay.
We enjoyed the quiet beauty of the area. The patio was great and reading in the bay window was perfect.
Seamless process from arranging to checkout
This rustic and charming cottage is a good place to unwind. The deck with its view and quiet setting was where we spent most of our time. The gas fire pit kept us outside after dark. The furniture and bed were comfortable and the window seat was a great place to stretch out with a book. The kitchen is very minimal so don't plan on doing any cooking. That might be a plus if you just want to relax and eat out.
Cottage was exactly as described on website. Private with stunning views. Well appointed and comfortable. Kitchen very functional even without microwave. Would highly recommend
We had a lovely time at this cottage. The tides were quite high so we didn't go to the beach. Be aware that there is no microwave---but there is a one burner stove and electric oven. There is also a wood burning stove. The owner was very helpful. We will definitely stay there again
We enjoyed the cottage and it's location very much. Comfortable for a couple and it has pretty much everything you might need. Thanks for the great get-away spot!
We were looking for a place to stay for just 2 of us on the island of Whidbey. We found this place and we’re blown away with the reviews and pics. The well water did smell for your showers and to brush your teeth, but other than that, everything else was perfect. We have experienced well water before at other cabins and knew what to expect. The location had an awesome view of the bay with great view of the mountains and sunsets. From the standpoint of the island, we couldn’t have asked for a better spot to start our daily excursions. We visited most of the state parks on the island. Are at a ton of the restaurants in Freeland and Langley. 10 out of 10! Thanks Kimberly!!!.
This place is even more beautiful than the pictures show. There are flowers everywhere, and we were lucky enough to have them all in full bloom during our stay. What a magical place... even had hummingbirds and eagles.
My wife and I have a wonderful time of quiet and solitude. This cottage fit the bill for what we needed perfectly. Nice setting in the trees, fantastic view. We much appreciated sitting in front of the stone fireplace with the fire setting a nice ambiance for our tome together.
