We had a wonderful stay at Vashon Island. We really enjoyed the cottage and local hospitality. The nature and scenery were beautiful. We hightly recommend a visit to the troll and surrounding beach. The Thai Restaurant in town was delicious.
We had an amazing time in this home , my kids loved the place and the atmosphere around this home is amazing , they have chickens in their small farm my kids loved the country feel there and they wanted to stay more time but we spent only one day and the host Debra was really awesome , co-operative and very generous she offered of some eggs from the farm to my kids . Great place to stay .
Great cottage for our family trip and first time on Vashon Island. Peaceful setting with comfy beds and easy access to the north ferry and downtown Vashon. Debra was great with all the info and amenities we needed.
Very cute little farm house. Owners are very nice and they have chickens.

This was a cozy, comfortable cottage and well furnished. A very quiet & private location close to town, shopping & restaurants. The owners were very friendly and we would stay here again and recommend it to others.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this charming and cozy cottage. The owners were friendly and made us feel welcomed.
We had a very nice stay here. Loved the fresh eggs and flowers upon arrival. The sitting room upstairs with sky lights was great in the afternoon. Slept well under the layers of quilts provided. Highly recommend this cottage.
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.
It has a charming, cozy atmosphere and a sense of connection to the surrounding landscape. My favorite part is the motion sensor lights on the staircase.
Everything about the stay was excellent. It's a great little place if you want some time on the island. Very clean, close to town and the north end ferry, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Absolutely recommend it.
Comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully stocked. Great location and easy to get to. Hosts were perfect, available but unobtrusive. Would definitely stay here again.
