About this cottage rental
Want a unique vacation? Everyone loves the idea of their own island. Peaceful, quiet and away from it all. In recent years we even have a nesting bald eagle pair! Our cottage is rustic, no running water and no electricity.
We have a propane stove, refrigerator, and lanterns. Guests must bring water and small propane canisters for their stay. Guests are required to clean before departure.
Bathroom is within the cottage and has an odor free composting toilet. For showering needs we have a camp style solar shower. Bedroom has a full-size bed. Crow's nest has a small futon that opens for an additional bed for one.
The $350 fee is the cost of the boat captain to make one trip to deliver you and your gear to the island and one to take you back. If you will be coming in your own boat or kayak, please let us know and we can refund that fee if we aren't hiring the captain.
Depending on the captain's schedule often arrival is the last trip of day and departure is 8 am. Additional trips can be arranged with our captains as well as sightseeing tours. Please note the captain charges additional to transport a pet. We have a dock if you would be interested in bringing your own boat.
Boat rentals also available nearby. Arrival and departure times are dependent on the captain's availability.
See Bald eagles and seals. You can fish for striped bass right off the island.
Water views from every window. The upper floor of the cottage is the Crow's nest (a tiny space accessible from a ladder below,) in the treetops with great sunset views.
Bring your kayaks! Crow Island was mentioned in the book "Rivers of Memory" by John Gibson

My husband and myself have spent multiple years returning to the island. We really highly recommend it for the rustic nature loving souls who are searching for some serious separation from chaos. Deb and her husband are also just wonderful to work with. A tree had fallen in the pathway and her husband drove a long distance to come cut it out of the way and even found me on the island to ask if we were okay with the way he had moved and cut the tree. Just a wonderful family.
We spend much of our time watching the dogs run around in pure happiness, fishing, watching the seals and other wildlife and going for long walks on the flats. One year a young seal came up on the island after it was injured and we gave it space to rest for a while (we called the experts for advice). Just such a beautiful place to be.
Few things we have picked up over the years: to help the cleaning process at the end we brought a battery powered vacuum (we also have very furry dogs so we try to do our best to clean all the fur up). When staying for a week we bring a cooler with ice and use that for a couple days (they also have a cooler there) and then transfer everything to the fridge that’s left the last couple days. The current is fast and pup life vests or leads are literally life saving. The hosts really are remarkable - have accommodated us way above and beyond expected this last trip and always listened to our concerns previously. Really amazing people and beautiful place. We are grateful.
