About this property
Heron Rook Cottage by AvantStay | Panoramic View
Introducing Heron Rook Cottage, your cozy haven on Whidbey Island. Nestled near Langley, this art-filled retreat offers a unique getaway for groups seeking serenity and charm.
Step outside to enjoy the patios, BBQ, and surrounding gardens. Gaze upon pocket water views from the main floor, while the upper level unveils a breathtaking 180 panorama of Saratoga Passage.
Indoors, the heart of the home is a great gourmet kitchen, perfect for culinary adventures (please note there is no dishwasher). The living room is adorned with custom art and artifacts from world travels. It’s like staying in a gallery.
In the primary bedroom, enjoy a 180-degree view of Saratoga Passage through expansive picture windows. The second bedroom's treehouse-like aura makes it one of the coziest places in the home. Each bedroom is on a different side of the house, ensuring everyone has plenty of privacy.
Offering a unique design, this cottage has stairways to the bedrooms, and one must go down the stairs to the bathroom, just like the old house of yesteryear. The stairs to the loft bedroom are like attic stairs—because they are! They are non-conforming, so please take a look at the photos to make sure that your guests are able to make their way up and down.
Conveniently close yet blissfully private, Heron Rook Cottage stands a mere 0.7 miles from Langley. A 2-acre retreat adorned with cedar sentinels offers seclusion, while keeping you close to the best of Whidbey Island. Bicycling enthusiasts rejoice—varied routes await all levels of riders. Discover the bliss of Goss Lake's cool waters while enjoying beach walks and trails.
