A very pleasant stay-cozy and warm, comfortable and kitchen had all we needed. Great location! VRBO made me rate the pool-There was no pool as far as I could see but wasn’t expecting one either.
The cottage is absolutely stunning, charming and very welcoming. We will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Always a pleasure to have such pleasant guests who find Point Roberts & the cottage, in this day and time, hold that almost unattainable peace and tranquillity for a getaway.
No ocean viewQUIET AND SERENE location Parking easyLoft for my sleeping was quaint and comfyOwner was delightful Easy to get to Vancouver Island/ Victoria/Butchert GardensFun to explore the 4 corners of Point Roberts
There is nothing like having a sweet small child giggle rising from the garden accompanied by her parents. Do hope that they shall return for another stay and visit to our Point in more ways than one. They left the community a joyous memory with their presence.
Nancy was very warm and welcoming. The garden was beautiful and the cottage was the perfect place for us to have some quiet time at the Point. Just a few blocks away from the entrance to south beach was perfect for walking to the sandbar.

A delight to have this young family of a toddler enjoy the garden and beach. As many know, a return to Point Roberts joyfully fills your being, and Amanda's stay for a reunion brought back memories of her family's childhood stays of the past. This family were a especially courtesy guest in the cottage. Would love to welcome them back
This property is a gem in Point Roberts! Nice property, great location, central to everything in Point Roberts and a lovely, quiet garden oasis. Nancy is the perfect host, lots of great communication. She was also very helpful with logistical questions about Point Roberts. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

This lovely little cottage is perfect for a private get-away! I loved climbing to the cozy loft bed every night. The cottage is intimate and snug, and the owner is tucked every convenience into the sweet kitchen. I would come again!

I am pleased that this charming guest has fallen in love with Point Roberts and their exclamation of their stay in The Garden Cottage is what I strive for.
We were only there for one night on our way to British Columbia but this rental ticked all the boxes for us. Very clean upon arrival, excellent communication with the owner and in a very peaceful, quiet neighborhood. Definitely has a high recommendation.
Cute little place, built in stages with mostly recycled materials - done well. Comfy beds, charming details. Nancy was lovely at check-in, and in spite of living quite close by gave us all the space we needed.
The cottage was clean, cozy, and had all the necessary elements. The landlord was extremely helpful and kind. We had children with us and she was very helpful.

A delightful family for me to have stayed in The Garden Cottage. Very considerate and friendly. I was charmed by the children. Would welcome them back anytime.
Rich history and artistic spirit permeate the property. A gem among bnb's, it is so thoughtfully decorated and appointed, and the host is simply wonderful - helped us to explore the point and the cottage. I can't wait to meet her again.

This delightful couple graced The Garden Cottage with such care and appreciation. Their enthusiasm during the brief stay brought pleasure to me as I so enjoy the beauty of Point Roberts and happy to know others find the same impression.
Cozy, accommodation. well supplied kitchen. It’s an older cottage so not five star luxury, but a nice quiet get away. Friendly helpful host. Beautiful rustic garden. If you are older and have mobility issues, the climb to the loft and down again in the night, could pose a challenge. challenge, but fine f
Nancy was a wonderful host who met us upon arrival. The cottage was delightfully charming with everything needed! Kind of felt like we were staying over at Grandma’s house and she was happy to have us! The loft bed added extra charm and was very comfortable. Its kinda like a tiny home-quite livable!

Delighted to have such a nice couple looking for a getaway and still have that welcome coming back home feeling. of what used to be. Most considerate guest and look forward to their interest in the future
This was a quiet retreat, filled with beautiful aromas from the gorgeous landscape , also well maintained. The unit offered exactly what was needed, bothing too bulky and overwhelming, but items that made for relaxing with your company an easy outcome.
