Beautifully situated on more than an acre of land with a view of Saratoga Passage through the trees, this truly unique home on Camano Island is full of charm, character, and craftsmanship. You'll be just a half mile from Madrona Beach and five miles from Camano Commons Marketplace.
The property is quiet and special, offering one-and-a-half acres of gardens, evergreen forest, and fruit-bearing trees overlooking Saratoga Passage. It's a spot often visited by deer and owls, which you can spot from the hot tub, the covered picnic shelter (with a fire cage, lights, and Bluetooth speakers), or the expansive lawn as you play cornhole or frisbee. There's a gas grill on the brick dining patio to use in summer, as well as a firepit where you can gather to recount the day's excursions.
The interior has all the ambiance of a woodcutter's cottage, yet it also features such modern touches as central air-conditioning, WiFi, and Alexa-controlled blinds (just say "Alexa, good morning," or "Alexa, good night"). The main floor, adorned with wood paneling and plentiful windows, includes two living rooms - a more formal one with a wood fireplace and a streaming-capable TV, and a window-lined den with a TV of its own and a table for board games. There's also a well-appointed kitchen and a dining room for eight.
In the evenings, you'll find all three bedrooms upstairs, each with pitched ceilings that enhance the atmospheric setting. A Baby Bjorn Pack-N-Play is provided as well.

Our family of 6 plus Grandma really enjoyed our recent stay at Bayleaf Cottage. The house is super adorable--even cuter than the pictures. A nice blend of old and new; some parts of the house are open layout, but not all of it, which is nice for a vacation. We loved the hot tub with views of the water. The property/land was spacious but still bright. The kitchen was very decently stocked (tea/coffee, a water kettle, olive oil and spices, in additional to the usual pots/pans/cutting boards you might expect). Puzzles and toys for kids. We also enjoyed using the formal dining room to set up a 1000pc puzzle. This would be a great place for one large family, or a girls' getaway. Would definitely come back.
We could not have been happier with this cozy cottage! It was perfect for our group. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
We had a perfect time at BLC! It was so clean & well presented when we arrived, it felt like a fancy hotel. The kitchen is very well appointed with all the tools you need and more, and the quality of goods makes you want to order them for your own house. The beds are comfortable and excellent quality. It may seem weird to mention, but the lighting options are also amazing- dimmers on almost every switch. It all just adds to one's ability to relax. Everything about this place is JUST RIGHT. There are plenty of spaces for differnt moods/ activities. For grown ups, I recommend morning coffee in the hot, enjoying the view. Walks to the beach are a must, every day. Thank you Bay Leaf Cottage for the regenerative visit. We can't wait to come back!
The house is lovely, the property is beautiful, and the location is wonderful. We went for a short but sweet Mama's getaway. It was just what we needed. Looking forward to returning to this gem of a getaway!
The property is nestled in the woods with dear roaming around. The view from the Gazebo and hot tub was over the top. We loved the house. We would recommend this property to family's, work retreat or just a weekend away. We definitely could have stayed longer.
Cute house.
This home was so lovely! Spacious and cozy at the same time. Loved the hot tub with a killer view and the beds were super comfortable . Definitely will return.
It was the perfect getaway spot for my little family of 6 we had a blast giant bath tubs and the hot tub was nice with a view
This home was delightful, well equipped kitchen made meal prep easy, wifi is excellent if you have to work while staying there, the beds are super comfortable and the heated bathroom floor was an unexpected pleasure, but now will cost us as we have to have one of those installed on our home. The high chair for the toddle was exceptional, wish we would have known about the crib, so we wouldn't have gone through the effort to bring ours. We'll be back.
Loved the property and cabin charm! Outdoor fire pit and Jacuzzi was amazing at night in the rain. We loved eating in the charming dining room, snuggling up by the fire in the study/ living room, and the white bedroom was MAGICAL and the bed was SUPER COMFORTABLE! Walk down to Sunset beach and saw a Humoback whale cruising through Saratoga passage !!!! Only issues were the construction of a house right next to the Jacuzzi on adjacent lot. Non stick pans are ready for replacement. And downstairs light switch in bathroom doesn't work
Our family had such a wonderful time staying at this house. The rooms are serene and beautifully designed, the property is huge and thoughtfully landscaped, and the owner includes everything you need to make it feel just like home. This was the most relaxing little getaway our family has ever had. We will absolutely be back again!
We booked this cottage wanting to do a staycation (we live in Bellevue) as a goodbye to summer. This cottage provided quiet privacy with a view of the ocean and a wonderful hot tub to relax and enjoy the view in. The house is cozy and well kept. The upstairs bathroom is a triumph with a tub perfect for soaking. We brought our 4 mo old and she enjoyed all the nature surrounding the house. They had a pack and play + High chair for use as well. We roasted marshmallows in garden area. There were a couple of snafus, The AC wasn’t working in any of the upstairs rooms. There were no instructions to turn on the lights in the gazebo and the toilet downstairs screeches when you flush, those were the only reasons for not rating the full 5-stars.
This was a lovely cottage for spending a few days getting away and reconnecting with old friends. The house had plenty of space for the 4 of us, though one of the three bedrooms was a room of twin bunk beds and was not the most comfortable for my very adult man sized friend who stayed in there. It would be a huge hit with kids though. Otherwise, it was a great stay. The rooms are all updated, well decorated, and have AC. The property has a partial view of the water from one of the outdoor dining areas and the hot tub next to it. It’s a short drive from Cama beach state park and Camano Island State Park. Would recommend for anyone looking to get away and find a bit of peace.
Great location and space for family. Thanks for the good times.
Would rent again.
