In a fairy tale setting of forests and gardens, the charming Stone Cottage sits just above Padilla Bay, with wonderful views of the Islands, Guemes Channel, the distant Cascades and often Mount Rainier.

The Stone Cottage is situated on beautiful Samish Island, one of the lesser known (and best kept secrets!) of the San Juan Archipelago, off the northwest coast of Washington. It is a drive-to island connected to the mainland by land reclaimed through a system of dikes- created in theearly 20th century.

Samish Island is located six miles from the quaint town of Edison; featuring several unique galleries and restaurants plus an award-winning Brewstillery. It is less than 10 miles west of Interstate 5, and 25 minutes south of Bellingham. It is surrounded by Chuckanut, Samish and Padilla bays, offering some of the best Clams, Crabs and Oysters in the Northwest!

Once part of the ancestral homelands of the Samish Indians, a Coast Salish tribe of the Pacific Northwest, the island is now a mix of rustic cabins and sprawling estates set amongst deep forests, rocky cliffs and sandy beaches. The island is also home to a large number of bald eagles, blue heron and other wildlife. The quiet island roads are perfect for long walks and bicycle rides (don't forget to wave to everyone!)

Like stepping back in time, this local landmark was built from island stone in the 1940's. It has now been carefully restored to retain it's rustic charm while offering every modern convenience.

A rare find and truly unique property where all of the amenities of a top rated B & B are provided with the privacy and comfort of your own Vacation Home. Your peace and privacy are our top priority. Let the awesome views inspire you and the closeness to nature restore you.

Enjoy a board game or a classic movie in the cozy cedar paneled living room. Watch the ships and sailboats go by from the window seat, or curl up with a good book by the original stone fireplace. The patio is the perfect spot for summer evening cocktails, barbecuing and intimate campfires.

Whether you are planning a Private Escape, a Romantic Retreat, or a Fun Friends Getaway, the Stone Cottage is the perfect choice!

To view dates and make reservations more than 6 months in advance, please send a request via VRBO's contact the host portal.

We have been in business since 2009 with dozens of repeat guests. We look forward to hosting you for your special Samish Island Getaway soon!

    As others have said, the cottage is clean, comfortable, and well appointed. Samish Island and the surrounding area are beautiful, with great food and delightful adventures to be found. Debbie is easy to reach and quickly responsive to any questions or needs. I highly recommend this little gem. My partner and I will be back.

    True to all the comments and reviews. Special does not capture what the experience provided. The host attention to detail and the little things she has assembled will tickle you. There is no other in my travels that has gone to the trouble of making our stay remarkable. Then there are the views of Padilla bay to calm you.

    This property is extremely special.Every need is anticipated and more.Extremely clean and comfortable and perfectly appointed.We enjoyed warm and professional communications with the owner.My extra special compliment is that we were treated to extra clean but non-chemical-smelling linens. While we bring our own pillows, I often wish I brought our own sheets because the use of commercial chemical cleaners such as Tide is the worst smell ever - same with Dawn, etc. This location was squeaky clean but with use of non-toxic cleaners - such a PLUS!

    Perfect place to work, surrounded by beauty outside and lovely, cozy surroundings inside. Wonderful leather chair and warm fireplace made even 25 degree nights seem luxurious. I have plans to return.

    This stay was perfect, it exceeded our expectations. The island is perfect for walks, the fire relaxing, and the view is food in any weather. Nearby food in Skagit is amazing as well. This is a wonderful place to stay.
