Beautiful property with open first floor and two separate sleeping areas (one upstairs) that met our needs perfectly. There were several small issues while there that Yvonne was quick to action on and solve for. She is a wonderful host who also has an art studio on property! Loved the art and tranquil feeling of this home and property. Great location and hope to stay again on a future trip.

The home is super cute and comfortable. The hosts Yvonne and Bob were wonderful and accommodating. Well-stocked kitchen. Very clean throughout. We highly recommend.

This cottage was everything we had hoped for and more!! It's beautiful artistry and craftsmanship were breathtaking. The coziness factor was off the charts. We felt at home the minute we walked in the door. Yvonne and Bob are the sweetest hosts ever. They went above and beyond to create a wonderful experience for us. They were there with whatever we needed and gave us fantastic ideas of exceptional adventures on the island. They invited us to their own home and their hospitality made us feel very special. I highly recommend this lovely and cozy cottage. It simply cannot be beat!!

This is a beautiful and well-appointed cabin surrounded by woods and a lovely lake. It is centrally located to provide access to all of the island activities. We met the owners and they are delightful. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back!

Wonderful setting in a serene and private wooded area with easy access to Friday Harbor and short drives to various parks, water, highlights of the island! Best of both worlds! Hosts are friendly, attentive, and provide great care to the property. Highest rating!

The cottage is everything we expected and we loved the opportunity to meet the hosts and visit the art studio. I strongly recommend this place if you prefer serenity and privacy and don't mind driving a few minutes to Friday Harbor.

We absolutely loved the Woods Lake Cottage. It was private, peaceful, clean, and the decor made you feel right at home immediately. It is very obvious the Yvonne and Bob put a lot of love into their former home and the great vibe is still very evident in this home away from home. Location was perfect, and we had a great time exploring San Juan Island. We can’t wait to come back!

A beautiful property, very private, surrounded by trees and flowering bushes. House was built in the mid 90s by owner who is also a builder and is quality throughout with many nice personal touches. Solid wood pocket doors, knotty pine ceilings, fireplace, full kitchen and laundry. Was a nice retreat to go to after a day of hiking and wildlife watching.

We loved our stay, the cabin was so cozy to come back to after a busy day. Loved the kitchen and especially the stove, we cooked wonderful dinners and drank wine by the fireplace. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing place to stay on San Juan. Our host gave us a tour of her glass studio, beautiful work and wonderful host. We’ll be back to the studio for sure.

Yvonne was a fantastic host! Very friendly, thoughtful, and hospitable. The property was in a perfect location, felt secluded enough for a getaway but not far from town. Nice central location. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. It even had a jacuzzi we could use that we didn’t have even know was on the listing. We look forward to coming back and the property would be one I would book again.

We spent a very relaxing week at this beautiful home. This is not a cookie-cutter house...it is the owners' former home, clearly a labor of love. Huge kitchen with high-quality cookware, big open layout with plenty of room for a family of 4 or 5, comfortable king bed, and ample living/dining room. Hot tub was a great addition, looking up into the trees while soaking. The setting is very peaceful, in the forest and overlooking the lake and a small pond. We heard frogs and lots of birds... saw trumpeter swans, bald eagles, and woodpeckers on the property. Yvonne and Bob were both very friendly and helpful, but respected our space and let us do our own thing. We have no complaints at all, and would definitely come back.

Staying at the Cottage is being in a jewel of artistic expression and craftsmanship of building by the owners, set in the beauty of the trees. Yvonne and Bob did everything to make our stay excellent, including bringing their toaster when the other one wasn’t working, and helping us light the fireplace. You can cook a delicious meal on the well-prepared kitchen, and enjoy that meal of the deck. It is quiet, so quiet, but you can be in Friday Harbor in 10 minutes. All the beds are very comfortable. We would say the Cottage has two bedrooms; one with a king and en suite full bath with combo tub/shower, and one bedroom on the second floor with a queen and single day bed. The second floor doesn't have a bath but there's a half-bath on the first floor available. There is also a hot tub on the outside deck (which we didn't happen to use). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cottage. -John and Susan

This is a wonderful place to stay for a quiet and relaxing respite from the world! Centrally located in a very quiet wooded area, about a 10 minute drive from all the island has to offer. The cottage was well equipped for dining in and cozying up, as well as just a short drive for sunset/whale watching, hiking, strolling Friday Harbor, or grabbing take-out. The hosts were friendly, kind, and inviting. Communication was excellent! I highly recommend and we look forward to staying again in the future! Thank you so very much…this was just what we needed for our first venture out since spring 2020!

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful eight day vacation with friends in Friday Harbor and absolutely loved our stay at Woods Lake Cottage. Yvonne and Bob were a delight, always available for any questions or recommendations on all things Friday Harbor/San Juan Islands. This cottage truly felt like home. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were super comfortable, and the living areas were full of wonderful art, including beautiful glasswork, reflecting the artistic talents of our hosts. We left feeling like the cottage was truly our "home away from home", and we are counting the days until we can return.
