Welcome to Rosewater Cottage, a charming and historic waterfront farmhouse on Bainbridge Island, named after the soft hues of sunset reflecting on the harbor. As one of the original homes on Eagle Harbor, this lovingly preserved retreat captures the essence of a bygone era while offering the perfect blend of authentic charm and modern comfort.

Step inside and be transported to a time when craftsmanship and character defined a home. With vaulted ceilings and cozy yet spacious living areas, Rosewater Cottage exudes warmth and timeless beauty. Large windows invite natural light and frame breathtaking harbor views, setting the perfect backdrop for quiet mornings and peaceful evenings.

Nestled in a calm and quiet neighborhood on a secluded loop off the main road, this home provides a true sense of retreat. The serene waters of Eagle Harbor stretch out before you, offering exceptional birdwatching, playful visits from seals and otters, and a tranquil setting for kayaking.

Beyond the cottage, Bainbridge Island offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, small-town charm, and Pacific Northwest adventure. Just minutes away, explore the island’s vibrant Winslow district, where you’ll find art galleries, farm-to-table restaurants, cozy cafés, and local boutiques. Stroll through the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, visit the Japanese American Exclusion Memorial, or explore the Bloedel Reserve, a stunning 150-acre nature preserve with manicured gardens, forest trails, and waterfront views.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the island’s scenic hiking and biking trails, including those at Grand Forest and Fort Ward Park. If you’re up for a day trip, the ferry to Seattle is just a short ride away, offering easy access to world-class dining, shopping, and cultural attractions.

Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a creative retreat, or a quiet waterfront getaway, Rosewater Cottage is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the magic of Bainbridge Island in a truly special home.

Book your stay and let Rosewater Cottage welcome you to the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

    Fantastic location; homey interior touches. Would return. Online photos much better than reality. Exterior rundown. Website description wasn’t clear that second bedroom was actually a casita. Would have liked coffee in Casita. Door locks not user friendly.

    The pictures don't do this beautiful home justice! It was the perfect, tranquil spot for 5 of my familiy members to visit. We live on the Island and we spent time at the home, and were able to host family dinners for 8 and all comfortably relax on the deck. The tranquil views, the beautifully decorated spaces, and access to the water made this a one-of-a-kind vacation rental. We never wanted to leave!!

    Had such a great time in this home with our family- the detached small ‘cottage’ was a nice space for the younger adults in the group. The scenery and bird watching was also amazing. Would highly recommend this home!

    This home is a great getaway from the stress of daily life. The view was amazing with many different birds to see from the deck. The additional, and separate, smaller home next to main cottage (with a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker) was great our family/older kids to ‘spread out’. The home was well stocked and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay on Bainbridge Island.
