About this cottage rental

Quaint and charming Craftsman cottage on Woods Lake located within a five-minute drive to the ocean so you can watch sunsets over Vancouver Island, Canada. The island is a nature lover’s dream. It is crisscrossed with hiking trails, wonderful ocean visits, kayaking and whale watching availability and is a boater’s paradise. It is home to a small community but highly active in the arts including a Community Theater, several art galleries, and the SJIMA art museum. Many artists call these islands their home and have home studios open to the public. Woods Lake Cottage includes an onsite working artist’s studio open to visitors and operated by local artist, Yvonne Buijs-Mancuso. Available for purchase are art glass pieces, Encaustic (wax) paintings, and silver and copper electroformed jewelry.
San Juan Island located in the Pacific Northwest is one of five islands served by Washington State Ferries. The New York Times recently listed the San Juan Islands at #3 as one of the best islands to visit in North America. The island is blessed with two National Historical Parks for visitors to see, historical as they date back to a Pig War skirmish that ensued between the British and the Americans in the 1800’s. Roche Harbor Resort, a highly popular tourist destination as the hotel dates back to the time of the Roosevelts, attracts mega yachts, fishermen, sailors, and tourists that can browse the well-tended flower gardens or enjoy a four-star dinner at the MacMillan Restaurant. The Pelindaba Lavender farm, is within walking distance of the cottage only a half mile down the road. We are situated across from Alchemy Art Center for those of you interested in pottery, photography and printing classes which are offered throughout the year. If you are lucky enough to be staying here in late July and early August, Island Island Stage Left performs professional Shakespearian plays several evenings per week.
The home itself is an exercise in eclectic design and function. The stained-glass windows, tiffany style lamps, original paintings, beamed woodwork, cobblestone fireplace, and tiled counters lend themselves to a cozy, laidback retreat. The cottage is fully furnished home with stocked kitchen equipment, master bedroom with king bed, loft with queen bed and day bed with linens supplied, and an upstairs sitting area and desk. Full master bath with tub/shower and half bathroom. Living area with flat TV screen. It is necessary to supply your own internet aps to access online stations via the cottage WIFI. DVD’s & HVS are available for viewing offline along with a small library and plenty of books and games. Open configuration kitchen & dining room with double doors to the outside and a hot tub. Outside area has a sitting area on the lower patio and a barbecue for spring, summer and fall use.
There are daily visits from local wildlife … deer, fox, ravens, and soaring eagles hunting for fish on the lake. Come and stay for a visit on this island sanctuary.

    The cottage was the perfect place for our mother-daughter trip to San Juan Island. Yvonne was so welcoming and showed us around when we arrived. I loved the secluded feeling of the cottage and especially loved the art and eclectic nature of it. We were noticing something new every day!

    This cottage is a perfect getaway with plently room for sleeping (3 beds), beautiful kitchen, easy walk to view the lake. Close enough to downtown to go daily if needed, yet away enough to feel secluded. Beds were super comfortable, wood fireplace was fun, a lot of movies to watch on rainy nights. We will definitely be back!!

    We stayed at The Cottage in the Woods for 9 nights for our 46th wedding anniversary. We had the most relaxing time. The cottage is everything you could wish for. The owner and his wife built this beautiful cottage and 99.9% of the art work and glasswork is also made by one or both of the hosts. The only downside would be if you have Verizon for your mobile service you will not have phone service at the cottage, Their WiFi works great. My favorite thing about the cottage is the chandelier over the table which the owner made. It is better than any Tiffany chandelier you could ever buy.

    We thoroughly enjoyed Yvonne and Bob’s cottage! The layout is so welcoming for four adults. The kitchen had everything we needed and we enjoyed cooking meals and eating together. We felt welcomed and at home the minute we walked in. Yvonne and Bob are the most friendly hosts and cannot wait to return!All of the beautiful artwork and artistic touches just felt like home.
