A place guests keep coming back to

Guests return again and again, praising the craftsmanship, peaceful setting, and thoughtful touches
Imagine a bright, clean, custom-built cottage, with wrap-around deck, separated from our main house by a shared courtyard garden. Then add the hot-tub and acres of quiet just a 5-minute drive from the beach or 15 minutes from the wonderful shops & restaurants of Langley. Truly the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway...

The space
The cottage is perfect for a couple or a single visitor. In a pinch, we can provide a foam mattress to put on the floor for a child traveling with you. The built-in bookshelves are stocked with a wide range of favorites and the private back deck—just right for a summer siesta—looks out on a sloping meadow.

Guest access
We are on ten acres. You are welcome to explore the property, walk the fields, and check out the garden(s) and greenhouse (and pick some tomatoes if you're here in the heart of the summer). While the main house is only 40 feet away, we are very quiet people and value your privacy.

Other things to note
We have created a helpful, attractive guidebook that has become a guest favorite! It lists many of our favorite places and activities on Whidbey, including restaurants, hiking, shopping, coffee shops, etc. We would also be happy to share this with you electronically in pdf format so that you can click on all the website links we have provided.

Neighbourhood highlights

Our property is at the very end of a quiet 1/2-mile long, unpaved road, so expect to hear owls and frogs at night and birds in the morning. Even with our quiet location, you'll only be minutes from many of the best spots on the island.

Lives in Clinton, Washington
My wife Christine and I grew up in Alaska and now live on Whidbey Island in Washington. I love to travel, cook, garden, and work with wood. Photography is a particular pleasure. Christine is happiest when walking on the beach, traveling, reading, and spending quality time with friends and family.
