Cozy cottage
We were impressed by this charming cottage in the woods but close to bigger towns on the island. The cottage is tastefully furnished and decorated and has every convenience.

Quiet and Comfortable Retreat in the Woods
The cabin was an absolutely wonderful place to stay. Tucked away in the forest, yet close to all the great beaches, walks and places to visit on Whidbey. My wife and I felt very relaxed and rejuvenated after our peaceful stay. Will definitely be coming back!

Everything We Needed
The property, house and host were excellent. We have already recommended to friends and family and will be coming back for future stays. As mentioned in the other reviews, the stairway to the top bedroom is pretty tight but did not impede on our ability to enjoy the space and catch some Z's.

The Peace of Wild Things
This little house was perfect for our "decompression" trip in Autumn 2021. Corinne is an exemplary host! Excellent communication! The house itself has everything you may need (sans food, of course). It's very clean and beautiful. Nice quiet area. Only thing you hear mostly are birds and squirrels. Whidbey is not huge and there are many shops and stores within a 10-15 minute drive (my wife loves Coupeville!). Grounds are gorgeous and well maintained! It's REALLY in the woods! I do want to give others a bit of warning regarding the beautiful spiral staircase: it may not be suitable for "larger" folks. It's not wide and it's steep. I'm a bit "round" and getting up was no problem, but getting down required my undivided attention! Just be careful and go slow. The fireplace is a beautiful touch and warms the house in no time! We absolutely loved our time here and are making plans to return!

cozy island hideaway
We spent most of July at this cozy little cabin and we loved it. Excellent, thoughtful communication from the host. Beautiful, quiet wooded property with a big sunny lawn and a great firepit. Neighbors are barely visible through the trees, felt quite secluded. Very functional kitchen, plus a grill and covered dining area outside. Great porch for coffee and a book, and watching birds and deer and the cute native squirrels. Excellent place to escape the unmasked hordes. Bonus: it’s a short drive from Whidbey Pie at Greenbank Farms, which makes the best pies I’ve ever had. The little beach a short drive down the road is nice for sunsets (and comet viewing, currently). Pretty much perfect.
Only thing to plan for is that the loft staircase is very narrow and steep. I’m overweight and I could not realistically get up there. My partner, who is a pretty average-size guy, could get up and down but not comfortably. Awesome for kids and smaller folks, though, and we were happy sleeping downstairs.
Thanks for a great July!
