The kitchen was Completely stock with everything one would need ( including batteries for a remote). I cannot think of anything that was not thought of. This was one of the best experiences with an opportunity to relax and rewind. I know we will be back ( I don't believe my wife has unpacked yet). What a nice place to stay. I have recommended and sent links to friends here in Oregon about this property. We are so glad we had this experience. Thank you!

The cottage is very small and very close to a busy road. It was very clean and the kitchen area well-equipped.. The little patio area and pond view was nice but noisy due to its close proximity to Beaverton Road. The tiny living room had one sofa which is worn out and

Property is located midway between Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor, inland. It was clean and well stocked with supplies. Overall, the actual property was very small. It looked to be a rebuilt structure which originally had a different purpose. There were three separate levels, all with a 2 to 3 STEP climb or step down between the levels. This was disconcerting for an older couple who needed to get up to use the bathroom once or more per night. Thank God for the provision of night lights in every room! Wi-Fi was poor and cell reception, almost nonexistent. We would not choose to stay in this property again due to the inconvenience of communication and movement.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2021
We were hoping for a quiet secluded getaway but, unfortunately, the cottage nestled on 5 acres was right next to the busiest road on the island. The cottage was very nice and would be great in a different location. Well equipped and comfortable. The listing said there was a k cup maker. Doesn't bother me but my wife loves those things and we couldn't find it. We just didn't feel we had the privacy we go to the island for.
