Enjoyed our overnight stay in this lovely little cabin. it is record temperatures, super cold (20 degrees) but the owners had lots of nice touches, plenty of blankets, throw blankets, even snuggly socks in a basket by the door. Loved the fresh eggs from their chickens. it was so cold we did not bother to put our cold food items in the fridge. Brrr. Thanks for the lovely accommodations, would definitely stay here again.

Everything was perfect. One exception the twin bed was pretty uncomfortable. I ended up on a couch which worked out fine for me. Hosts are generous and helpful. 5 stars

Prior to my arrival, I hadn't received ANY communication from the owners of the property. No one was there to greet me. I knocked on the main property & no one was home except a barking dog. I returned to the cottage to discover the door was unlocked, which was disconcerting. The pervasive odors of bacon and DOG were all over. There was rotten food in the refrigerator and I wanted to turn around and get back on the ferry. Hours later I received an email. The owners were off island for the weekend. How lucky for them.

We had a very pleasant stay. Everything was thoughtfully detailed. The upstairs sitting area was our favorite place to hang out, and that was in addition to a living room downstairs.

We only stayed over night but this was a terrific spot near the north end ferry terminal. When we arrived we were greeted by the owners and they were very friendly. They gave us the run down of the property and gave some recommendations for places to eat. We will be sure to visit again!

We had a great time staying at this property. The cottage was just as cute as pictured and our kids enjoyed meeting the chickens in the yard. Debra was very hospitable- checking in each day to make sure we were comfortable. The town of Vashon is an easy 5 minute drive away. We would stay here again.

The cottage is adorable. Very clean and homey. The owner even left six eggs for me with a note that it was from her "girls" with the chicken's names. I was unable to complete my stay due to a family emergency. The owner was very kind and understanding of my circumstances out of my control. I hope to be able to return some time soon.

Our hosts were very welcoming and the cottage was charming. The kid enjoyed checking out the small farm on the property (hello chickens!) and picking wild blackberries.

The guest house was so cute, on a farm 5 minutes from the center of the Island. The vase of farm flowers were so sweet. Easy communication with the host. The place was perfect for our family of 4. Roomy and comfortable.
The king bed was super comfy with nice sheets, pillows, etc. We appreciated the water and coffee pods provided. We enjoyed our stay on the quiet property very much!

A friend and I stayed here in early May 2023. It’s a very nice little cottage. Well kept and clean. Nicely decorated. The heat was a little funky to figure out, but was fine once you didWould definitely stay again if I come back to Vashon.

We spent one night here on our way to the Olympic Peninsula. It's very nice, right on the main road pretty close to downtown but still very quiet. Debra greeted us when we pulled in and showed us how the heaters work, since it was unusually cold out. The house has some nice books around, a few board games, some pots and pans and toiletries. The tap water tastes great! It was perfect for our family of three.
