The cottage is in a quiet setting on a 6 &2/3 acre horse "ranch. This is a rural residential area. There are neighboring houses so you might expect to hear occasional landscaping maintenance.. The parcels in this area are from 5 to 10 acres. This property is NOT waterfront but water views. There is no immediate water access from this property, however, there is a lovely county beach within 20 minutes walking distance. The main house, where we live, is about 15 feet corner to corner from the cottage, however, there is privacy between with dense gardens and a decorative gate.. The guest cottage was here when we bought the property. We rarely use the cottage so we thought we would share it with others. Your privacy inside and near the cottage is assured; we will never intrude in your space, however, if you are seeking completed seclusion with absolutely no one nearby then this is NOT the place for you. There are two outdoor patios. The one on the water side has a table & 2 chairs & a propane BBQ. The other smaller stone patio is on the opposite side in the garden with two chairs as well. The hot tub is in the garden between the main house and the cottage which is landscaped with dense foliage and fencing. We are walking distance to secluded Eagle Cove with a sandy beach, great for relaxing & wading. Walk or drive the short distance to nearby American Camp National Park for hiking opportunities, more beaches and island history information at the ranger station. American Camp is about 2,000 acres of prairie, woods and miles of beaches. You can expect to see us around the property tending to the garden and the horses. The cottage is located on the "sunny" southwest side with views of the sea and the mountains. The cottage is situated on a 6 & 1/2 acre "horse ranch" in a quiet rural residential area with parcels ranging from 3 & 1/2 acres to 10 acres. The nearest neighbor is 250 ft. from the cottage and the next closest is about 350 ft. away. Though the main house is about 20 ft. from the guest cottage, it is private. There is no immediate access to the water, however, a 15 minute walk will take you to nearby Eagle Cove Beach and also to the entrance of American Camp National Park with more beaches & trails. Visitors can have beach fires at South Beach which is within the park boundary. There are two patios adjacent to the cottage; one has a table & chairs and BBQ, The other patio on the opposite side is situated in a large perennial flower garden with chairs provided as well; a pleasant and shady spot to enjoy the hummingbirds and flowers. The hot tub is also in the garden. beach at American Camp Park. We are just a 12 minute drive to Friday Harbor. The interior design is a mix of world motifs acquired during our travels featuring oriental rugs, and European accessories and has a French Provence influence. There is also a lovely gas fireplace for romantic evenings. Wake up to a view of a nature garden from your bedroom with a comfortable queen size bed. The elegant deluxe bathroom has a claw foot tub and toilet and vanity, Italian tiles and marble, heated floors and heated towel rack. The second bathroom has a lovely tiled shower with heated floors.

We liked being away from town yet only 10 minutes. Perfect for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine with views of the water. I needed strong WiFi to work and that was problematic. The owners were very responsive to this problem. If u depend on WiFi for work u may need to check if that has been taken care of. I drove into town and used the public library’s wifi. I’d still stay here again. ##### Marly S. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin F.

We stayed for 3 nights celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary! The location is perfect-just a quick 15 minute or less drive from the Ferry & Friday Harbor or a 25 minute bike ride for riders. Mary greeted us along with a beautiful flower bouquet from her amazing garden & art work in the house!! The cottage & description is even better when you arrive! A wagon to help transport your items to the cottage. A beautiful view & sunsets every night of the Strait of Juan de Fuca & Victoria. The cottage is beautiful, colorful & very comfortable & has a BBQ if you wish. Has a gas fireplace & hot tub access. Mary has a notebook with suggested restaurants, locations to visit and things to do with great maps. Cell coverage on the island is spotty so take the maps. We rode our E-bikes to Friday Harbor & explored the town & enjoyed lunch. Explored San Juan Island National Park-great hike & exploration to Grandma's Beach-saw 10 sea otters & lots of rabbits, & Roche Harbor. Had a fabulous meal at Oyster Tale in Friday Harbor, another great meal in Roche Harbor at McMillin's Dining room-make reservations & another good meal with great service at Downriggers. Spring Street Deli makes amazing sandwiches-close to a great book store. Thanks to Mary and Fred for opening their wonderful, beautiful, peaceful and relaxing property! ##### Kevin F.

We loved the sunset views and visits from the dogs and cats on the farm. We still got to enjoy our privacy and plenty of hot tub time, we highly recommend a stay here! ##### Jacob Z.
