Conveniently located and with a friendly, yet non-intrusive, host Judith, the Farm was a very relaxing and much-needed break from the monotonous stress of Covid life in the city. Five stars all around for me. With that said, I have to STRONGLY take issue with Linda S.'s review below, due to the incredibly enjoyable experience I had. I will address each complaint: a. It does not smell musty. It is an old house, what are you expecting it to smell like, a god-blessed perfume store? b. It's Vashon island. Nobody is gonna steal your stuff, Linda. And if you are so concerned, you can take valuables with you in the car you undoubtedly arrived in while away from the cottage. c. There is most certainly a latch on the bathroom door. d. There is a wall in the closet. Also even if there wasn't, when doors are closed, they are like a wall. The barn does not have people in it while you are sleeping anyways. e. This charming accommodation is run by a single proprietor. I'm not sure why Linda expected meal service in a rustic cottage on an island. Nowhere is the claim made this will be the case. I think the "you make both" joke is hilarious, I wish it were still there. f. Leaving the first dang night? Give the place a chance. Thank you for reading. Judith rocks and the cottage is spectacular, I will be returning.

My reservation was just cancelled the morning of. I am thankfully a Seattle local, but what if I…read morehad flown in? There is nothing available now, this was my last resort in the first place and now I am stuck. I'm in 12 hour work days on Saturday and Sunday and desperately need somewhere to stay so I don't have to tack a 2 hour commute to the beginning and end of my days. And now I am left with no option and 16 hour days. The explanation was "emergency situation", which is exactly what I'm now left with. Since booking, the experience has not been great. I booked via phone on 7/29 and was asked to send a check immediately, so I waited for an email. 4 days later when I was on vacation for my birthday I followed up and was finally given the information. She wanted me to mail a check the next day, but I didn't bring a checkbook on vacation, so I had to do the next best thing and utilize Bank of America's online system to mail a check. This usually takes a week since it's considered "bill pay". I was informed the check was delivered August 9th, and the money came out of my bank account, but she said it was not received. Not a huge deal, just had to call the bank and cancel it, so I sent another check. I had been waiting to hear that it arrived when I am woken up with a text this morning that my reservation is cancelled. So now my husband and I are scrambling and I have no idea what to do. We've already paid our pet sitter and he took the next 2 days off work. Losing money and being stuck is not a fun situation to be in.

We stayed in the Arbor Cottage because it was separate from the other rooms and was its own cottage. There was a nice little deck to enjoy, too. Perfect for playing a board game if you find that kind of thing romantic (maybe we are strange that way...). A jacuzzi is always nice, too. I don't recall this place costing as much when we went a few years back, so $175 seems a little high, but if you've got it to spend, this is a beautiful place to spend it, and taking the ferry to Vashon Island and just driving around is fun, too.

The views are beautiful from the living room, kitchen, and bedroom and the fireplace is incredibly cozy for a winter stay. Penny was an amazing host.

There are no TVs in the rooms, which is great because instead its replaced with a beautiful view of the trees and scenery. It's a great place to get away from the stress of modern worries and just get back to nature. And all of that is just what's on the outside. What's on the inside is an astounding couple, Jamee and Dal, who were more than hospitable. They make the experience feel like home. Each morning we woke up to an amazing home cooked breakfast and such pleasant conversation. We couldn't have asked for a more relaxing vacation. We plan on returning very soon. Oh and I have to give a special shout out to Jamee's delicious pop-overs!

Gorgeous, peaceful, and serene getaway!…read more We recently stayed in the suite above the garage, and it was a wonderful experience. The room is incredibly spacious and well-equipped with a king bed, couch, additional seating, a mini-fridge, and an armoire--the perfect amount of space for two people. The bathroom is equally roomy with a great walk-in shower, and Wi-Fi is available. A few helpful logistical tips for future guests: Accessibility: The entrance is up a beautiful stone stairway to a small patio. There is no elevator, so keep this in mind if you are traveling with heavy luggage. Arrival: Pay close attention to the address signs! The driveway is easily missed and the roads leading in are quite narrow. The Vibe: This is a lovely, no-frills accommodation. Communication is minimal and done strictly via email or phone calls (no texting), and it is cash-only. The owners live on-site and whip up a delicious breakfast every morning. Their fresh-from-the-oven popovers were an absolute highlight--we grabbed a handful to snack on throughout the day, and they were just as good cold! My only minor regret is that I would have loved to explore the beautiful property more, but I wasn't entirely sure which areas were off-limits. Next time, I'll definitely be sure to ask the hosts for a quick property tour. The owners are incredibly accommodating, and this location is well worth the stay. We would definitely return and highly recommend it to future guests!

There is a beautiful private deck looking straight out on the Puget Sound for the best sunset watching in all of the PNW. Not to mention the perfectly placed private jacuzzi to make for a perfect evening. The bed is luxurious & the entire space was immaculate. I'm super picky about cleanliness & this place did not disappoint. Breakfast is not made for you, however that is advertised before you book so we didn't have a problem with it. There were fresh pastries & fruit in the morning, as well as eggs, milk, and pancake mix already stocked upon arrival. The pancake mix, which is homemade by the innkeepers, is to die for. The innkeepers were extremely knowledgeable when it came to suggestions for outings, eateries, and local day trips. They really made our trip unforgettable. We cannot wait to not only return to the Pacific Northwest, but stay many more nights to come in Dave & Eileen's beautiful getaway!

Located on a bluff above Eagle Harbor, there is ample outdoor seating to enjoy the massive expanse of water and sky. A curving set of wood and stone steps lead down to the water where one can barbeque, go kayaking, sit and relax, or walk on the beach. I saw an eagle swoop on some cormorants that were sitting out on a floating dais (they dove and easily escaped him). The view of Mt. Rainier from the beach is unique and if one walks down a ways one can see the Seattle skyline. The place is everything it is advertised to be: the windows overlook Eagle Harbor with the ferries coming and going, the kitchen is well equipped and the stove has gas burners, the bed is very comfortable, the television has more channels than I would ever watch, Wi Fi is free, the bathroom is clean and the showerhead is powerful. The owners were friendly and honored my privacy. Photographers, artists, birdwatchers, couples, small families, kayakers, an individual looking to relax - I could go on - will all find something here. I found true peace and quiet.

It was private, quiet and beautiful. For someone who only gets one vacation a year, it was exactly what I needed and as mentioned, I will definitely be back next year!
