Our host, Ashlyn, was helpful, kind and accommodating. Her property is peaceful, beautiful and well maintained. I’m a photographer and got amazing photos of birds, deer and bunnies right on the property. Our apartment was well furnished and spacious, with views of water and mountains. It is on the second level over the garage with a fairly steep staircase. She also has a bed and breakfast on the property and is a gourmet cook. You might even get a taste of crab if it’s crabbing season. We’ll definitely be returning here for another stay.

Very relaxing

The place is so amazing! The apartment is clean and beautifully designed. Very well stocked. The gardens around the place are gorgeous and a wonderful quiet place. The location is great!

We enjoyed our time in this beautiful, relaxing setting. The cottage was close to the towns and villages on the island, yet we felt we were in the country. It was so much fun watching the deer and other wildlife on the grounds. Ashyln was a great host who provided a well-equipped home and excellent advice on the area in her comprehensive "guide book". The doggy greeting committee of Tabasco and Lula made it feel like home. Highly recommended.

Cozy, clean guest house bungalow. Perfect for my husband, me, and our 2 dogs. Quiet, beautiful views (saw an eagle fly over the kitchen window this morning), lots of deer on our evening stroll. Very well-appointed kitchen, great DVD selection, and thoughtful information about the island like places to hike, eat, shop, and walk/hike with the dogs.

The property was exactly as described. Beautiful and well-maintained. The location was a short drive to hiking, dining and just browsing around nearby towns. The bed was a little soft for us - but otherwise all was perfect!

Nice setting and cozy apartment in beautiful area on Whidbey Island. Would stay there again.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Ashlyn's Langley cottage. We are pretty frequent travelers in normal times, but I am immunocompromised so this was our first trip since 2019(!!) and our first overnight trip with our pandemic dog. We brought tons of stuff for the four-day stay but didn't end up needing most of it because of how well-stocked the cottage was, including doggie bowls, bed, and towel, kitchen supplies (even Sriracha for when my husband forgot to ask for some from Island Nosh where we ordered takeout one evening), extra bedding (I love to be cozy), and a blow dryer. But the best part of the trip was getting to know Ashlyn. We reached out to her when we found out she owns the B&B next door to the cottage and saw her delicious-looking food on her Instagram page. We are big foodies and we texted Ashlyn to find out where we might be able to sample her food and she ended up cooking us a scrumptious breakfast the next morning that accommodated all of my food allergies (avoiding gluten, dairy, and eggs for breakfast is no easy feat). We ended up chatting with her for two hours about all things food, dog, and Whidbey related and we met her adorable and very well-behaved golden retriever named Tabasco. Even though our trip ended up getting rained out, my husband and I enjoyed some quality time and unexpectedly delicious food from Ashlyn's kitchen and around the island, and we plan to return to Whidbey again before the year ends. Thank you Ashlyn!

Every host should learn from our hostess. She provisioned the cottage with all that was needed and then some. She was very friendly and so was her dog., but not interfering. Very quiet. One could just sit and listen to the birds.

This was the perfect place for my wife and I to relive our very fond memories of living on the island. It was super clean, one of the best we’ve experienced! Ashlyn was great to work with, very attentive to our needs. It was very quiet and comfortable and had all the details we needed. Will definitely stay again!

We have stayed at this cabin multiple times over the past five years; it says something that this is a place we return to time and again. We love it! This latest trip (7/2 - 7/9/21) included me, my husband, our adult son, and our dog. Although the cabin is small, so much thought has gone into its layout and functionality that it comfortably accommodated three active adults plus dog. As always, the cabin was extremely clean; check-in and out was easy and convenient; and communication with Ashlyn, the owner, was spot-on. Ashlyn is a wonderful hostess with a wealth of information about Whidbey Island and the surrounding area. She has figured out the perfect balance of being available and helpful to guests while in no way obtrusive. I hope we are able to return soon!

This charming little spot had everything we needed to get out of the city for a few days and enjoy the charms of Whidbey Island. Even though we were in the middle of an extreme heatwave, we managed to stay cool. There are plenty of outdoor shady spots on Ashlyn's property and a fan in the cottage. In less than 15 minutes we could drive to Double Bluff Beach, one of the most spectacular beaches in the state, where our dog loved running free and chasing other pups in the surf. Thanks for a great stay, Ashlyn!

The property was spotless, the owner was highly responsive to anything you might need and she offered excellent suggestions for hikes, gardens, dining etc., her dog was delightful!

This is our second time staying with Ashlyn. We love it here and always wish we could stay longer. Thanks to Ashlyn and her sidekick Tabasco for a warm welcome. Hope to be back soon!

We wanted a nice quiet relaxing weekend away from the city and that's exactly what we got. Even though the place feels a little older, it is very cozy and has a lot of cute details. The location is very central to Coupeville, Fort Casey, Freeland, and Langley but far away removed that it's very peaceful. Has a lot of nice walks/hikes nearby.

Enjoyed our stay. The hostess gave great touring suggestions. Enjoyed meeting her friendly dog.

See our review for Aug. 9 - August 20. We loved this place. Feels secluded with a nice view of beautiful trees and a little water too. Ashlyn & Tobasco were like friendly neighbors who were so kind and helpful.

We are sadly departing the Saratoga Guest Cottage after a 3 week stay. This cute cottage is situated on beautiful grounds with a nice peek a boo water view. You couldn’t ask for a better host than Ashlyn. She was always available with helpful suggestions for the area or questions we had. It’s like having a friendly neighbor (with a lovable dog & friendly chickens). Be sure to take the short walk thru the woods to Saratoga Beach.

This is a lovely property! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as did our dog Maggie. The cottage was perfect and the owner Ashlyn was a joy. We will be back!

Loved the property for a 2 night stay. Quiet, peaceful grounds with no interaction with owners. Short walk to beach & beautiful sunset.

Very quiet and restful.

very nice!

Cozy clean accommodations with easy access to several great hikes and sightseeing.

The Saratoga Cottage is a great place to relax. The cottage is larger than the photos suggest, and it had plenty of comfy spaces for our family of two adults and a small dog. We walked to the beach, read, saw deer and rabbits and only drove in to Freeland on a couple of occasions for take out food. The Payless grocery in Freeland also offered a good selection. It was a delightful getaway, and we certainly hope to return one day.

Had a great time. Clean and cozy cottage. Thank you Ashlyn!

We had a fantastic time staying in the Saratoga Guest Cottage for 10 days in July 2019. Both the property and the cottage were even better than described. The cottage sits overlooking treetops toward a filtered view of sparkling water with the snow-capped Olympic Mountains sprawling in the distance. We didn't tire of the view! Ashlyn has clearly put a lot of thought and energy into creating a lovely and comfortable getaway. The cottage itself is the perfect mix of form and function, beauty and comfort. I can't think of anything we needed that wasn't there. The small kitchen is very functional with relatively high quality equipment for a vacation rental unit. It was easy to prepare meals there. Ashlyn herself is warm, friendly, and helpful with information about Whidbey Island and farther afield. We particularly loved the nature trails she has created throughout the property, including the hike down to the road leading to the beach area. The beach is fun to explore. Getting to hike to Baby Island during low tide was a highlight. We hope to return soon! In the meantime, we highly recommend this rental.

Can't say enough amazing things about Ashlyn and her Saratoga Guest Cottage. The accommodations were adorable, comfortable and inviting, (and come with access to a glorious beach), but it was Ashlyn who made our stay unforgettable. She was extremely accessible and with her "insider information" about Whidbey, making us feel like locals during our time on the Island. From suggesting restaurants, to parks, to hikes, to art galleries, to ferry schedules she always had the best information, her love for the Island was evident. She helped make my 60th Mermaid Birthday the best ever, and I would give her six out of five stars if I could!!! Plus she has a wonderful pooch named Tabasco who will melt your heart.

Ashlyn's studio, and the surrounding property, were lovely and very reasonably priced. The celebratory champagne in the fridge and freshly made cookies on the table were an especially nice touch. We enjoyed an evening stroll to the beach nearby, where we were lucky enough to see a bald eagle perched on a piling only feet from us. We also appreciated being able to make our own dinners in the kitchen. The only (small) recommendations we would offer are: adding cumin to the available spices, a good pair of tongs, a whisk, and measuring spoons. Otherwise, the kitchen had all the accoutrements necessary for dining in. A perfect spot for a romantic weekend away! We hope to return in the future.

serene close , beach , rooster chickens, rabbits, deer pond, close to beach,close to Langley, cute well equipped cottage,My ten year old loved it as did we. Ashlyn was a great host.

WE HAD A GREAT STAY AND PLAN TO USE THE SITE AGAIN SOON.

The Saratoga guest apartment is a sweet getaway. The space includes ‘corners’ for numerous activities. Big easy chair in reading nook, desk in master bedroom dormer for work or hobbies, kitchen table for meals, crafts, tiny well equipped kitchen for simple cooking. The spacious property is lovely w lots of trees and fantastic bird songs heard. The space is nice though furniture is a bit tired. Very peaceful setting for a quiet getaway.

We really enjoyed a quiet and relaxing getaway at the Saratoga Guest Cottage! The cottage is clean, comfy and the grounds are wonderful. We enjoyed the trails and the 10 minute walk to the beach via trail and road. We were also able to find nearby hiking within a short drive and Langley restaurants as well. We found everything as described!
