The cottage was exactly what we were expecting, plus so much more. Conveniently located off the beaten path, but right in between Friday and Roche Harbor. We were able to relax by the fire pit after a day of adventure and shopping in Friday Harbor, followed by an amazing dinner in Roche Harbor. The cottage is located on one of the main roads, but the peaceful surroundings made it easy to forget that mild inconvenience. We look forward to returning when we can stay longer. Shannon & Tom

This property met our needs very well. It is well represented in the listing. Karen's communication skills were outstanding. She emailed us a week before the ferry schedule was to be released. This enabled us to get our reservations easily. The check in was seamless. It is centrally located so we were able to get to Friday Harbor or Roche Harbor easily by car.

The Cottage is comfy and cozy, just right for two old lovebirds. The setting is idyllic and mostly quiet! Well-situated for exploring San Juan Island. Dripping with flowers, tinybirds, hummingbirds, foxes and deer. We had a marvelous time and are hoping to return!

The cottage was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, the bed was comfortable, the small living room with an electric fireplace was cozy in the evenings. The grounds were beautiful. The back porch looks out over a pond, birds were everywhere, a deer and 2 black fox came through the yard to eat the plums from a tree. We could see horses across the pond. We highly recommend the Pond Side Cottage and will definitely stay there again.

We had a nice stay. The backyard and view of the little pond was lovely. The only downside was traffic noise during the day, but the evening was quiet. I’d definitely stay there again.

We did not stay very long in the cottage each day because we were here for a family reunion. It was a convenient location. It was clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable. We ate breakfast in the cottage and were glad for the good size refrigerator and ice. The kitchen is well stocked. It was a great place to stay.
