About this cottage rental

Welcome to Bainbridge Island! We are happy to share our cozy little island cottage with visitors looking for a change of scenery or a longer vacation. Just a beautiful 35 minute ferry ride from downtown Seattle and a short 3 mile drive or cab ride from the Bainbridge Ferry terminal, leave your mainland worries behind and come stay in this quaint, well-cared-for 1930s farmer's cottage next door to our home. The views of Mount Rainier and Puget Sound from all the rooms in the house are soothing and spectacular. The bed is a double (full) bed (this is smaller than a queen) due to room size restrictions. There is also a full (double) sofa bed.

Enjoy fresh-brewed Pacific Northwest coffee every morning as you watch the eagles soar over the cove, then go for a walk along Manitou Beach, just a 2 minute stroll down the hill. Head to island favorite Bay Hay & Feed for morning coffee, pastries and conversation, just 1/2 mile away, and while you’re there check out their amazing plants, garden supplies, and general store.

Well-behaved dog guests are welcome for a $50 fee per visit. Please note that the yard is NOT fenced, so bring a lead if your dog needs one.

The Northwest is meant to be moist, so if it's raining you can hole up in the cottage with board games or a movie, but if you're adventurous (or you come in the summer, and it's gorgeous) grab a complimentary umbrella and head out to explore all the island has to offer. The Bloedel Reserve or Bainbridge Gardens will delight with their botanical wonders. Sample some of our seven island wineries or spend the day checking out the art galleries and shops along Winslow Way.

In the evening, enjoy dinner in Winslow or nearby Lynwood Center, pick up some amazing Italian take-out from nearby Via Rosa (1/2 mile from the cottage), or make a meal in our cozy but well-stocked kitchen. At night meet up with friends at one of the island pubs, enjoy a movie at one of the two island cinemas, or hit the blackjack table or dance floor at nearby Suquamish Clearwater Casino, just across the Agate Pass Bridge connecting the island to the Kitsap Peninsula.

Speaking of the Peninsula, use Bainbridge as your home base while you explore surrounding Northwest favorites like Poulsbo (aka Little Norway on the Fjord), Port Gamble with its 1850s logging town activities, Port Townsend with its historic Victorian charm and the amazing Olympic National Forest.

This was the perfect home base for our mini vacay. We easily traveled into Seattle and back on the ferry one day. We drove to Port Angeles and took the ferry to Victoria another day. The drive up and back was beautiful and not too long. We also spent time in Poulsbo and on Bainbridge exploring. This sweet cottage was a lovely place to come back to each day. The beach is just a short walk down the hill. The deck offered a cool place to relax and enjoy being in an awesome, calming place. We would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for an escape from the daily grind.

I loved my two night stay at the cottage. The location on Bainbridge Island was perfect-a short drive to the ferry and close to a darling beach. I had everything I needed at the cottage; a quiet, cute and relaxing environment to restore my energy after a busy school year. I’ll definitely be back!

It was just enough room for my wife and I. We have a blast walking down to the beach and taking a ferry over to Seattle. Awesome place. Will come here again soon! Thanks, Andrea for the lovely visit!

This cottage was absolutely charming and had everything I needed. The location was very nice & the partial view of the water was great. I enjoyed the decor and lots of little touches to make it feel "homey". The bed was very comfortable too. Small shower worked for me, I'm 5'3", but a larger person might find it a tight fit. The bathroom was good overall though. I appreciated the help to clarify the WiFi ( it differs from the print out on website ) and clear, easy directions on cleaning expectations- very minimal, thanks. I plan to return in the summer! I posted pics on social media and got rave reviews- maybe even some envy....

All as advertised, with a very hospitable host who is easy to communicate with and has done a very thoughtful job of making a cottage from the 1930’s (?) attractive, comfortable, and well stocked. I look forward to returning.

Amazing views if the skies are clear. The nearby beach is a good stroll. We used the cottage as a home base while exploring the island and beyond. The propane fireplace kept us cozy and warm and the bed has a lovely down linen down filled duvet and feather pillows Kitchen is for simple cooking or keeping take away warm. Neighborhood Italian place was great for take away with a market attached for wine and beer.

This space has vintage, no-frills, beach cabin vibes. The basics are all covered, and it is a quick walk down to Manitou Beach, which is a great spot to beachcomb and has a lovely view of the Seattle skyline. Communication with the host was quick, and check-in was easy.

I had the most wonderful stay in this sweet house. It was just me for a quiet weekend and it could not have been better. Super clean, had everything I needed in the kitchen, quiet, lovely, perfect. And the view! Even better than advertised. Clear gorgeous view of Mt Rainier from the porch. Quick walk down to a beachfront overlook. Communication with owner was clear and easy. Owner's house is right next door but cottage still felt very private. Quick 9 minute drive into town. I would love to stay here again. 10 out of 10!

This was a great visit. We received detailed check in information a couple of days before our visit which made the check in process very easy. The place was well maintained and exactly as described. The fridge was also stocked with water, beer, and some snacks which was a nice touch. The location is amazing as it is a quick walk down to the water and is also nearby to some small shops. We were able to walk to carly's up the street for some coffee and pastries. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Bainbridge.

A cosy property in a lovely location with great views. We had a friendly greeting from Thomas when we arrived who also provided us with fresh eggs from their chickens. It's been a cool Spring in Washington and the gas fire soon heated the cottage to make us snug on wet afternoons and evenings. Our overall view of our stay was tainted by two issues. Firstly the lack of cleanliness with crockery, cutlery and glasses and, secondly, the oven had a metal earthing/bonding wire hanging loose inside which made the oven unusable in our opinion. Despite raising this latter point with the owner, we didn't receive a response or resolution.

Great hosts; respond to questions as soon as practical. Quiet location; nice view; not far from attractions. Dog friendly. Adequate kitchen but not much pantry space. Comfortable bed. Binoculars and books on shelf. We arrived during below normal temps and above normal snow; stove provides plenty of heat. Toilet lid heavy, so lower, don’t drop. Will definitely return.

My two dogs and I had a wonderful experience at Andrea’s cottage. All the necessary amenities are provided with access to on-premise washer and drier. The neighborhood is great along with the food options. I enjoyed having several dinners in the nearby town of Poulsbo. The views of Ranier and Seattle are stunning on a clear day. Beach access is within a 2-3 min walk. Andrea is easy going and a great communicator. I highly recommend staying at the cottage!
