Sitting on more than two acres of grounds beside Swan Lake, this cottage on Whidbey Island offers an unhurried kind of retreat. The deck looks out toward Puget Sound, with the Olympic Mountains on the horizon – a view that makes slow mornings feel effortless. Joseph Whidbey State Park and Beach are steps away for coastal walks when you're ready to move. Back at the cottage, evenings have a natural rhythm – alfresco dining as the sun drops over the lake, then gathering around the fire pit as the stars appear.

Home truths

  • Whidbey Island sits alongside a naval air base, so on a few weekdays each month – and occasionally in the evenings – you may hear loud flight training overhead. The Navy doesn't typically schedule training on weekends or holidays, and usually publishes its schedule a week in advance.

  • For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.

  • One of the bedrooms has a single-over-double bunk bed that can sleep up to three people – we think it might be best suited to children.

  • The lead guest must be at least 21 years old.

Local guide


About Washington

This West Coast wonderland of evergreen treescapes sits tucked just under Canada and north of Oregon, and as such benefits from that epic Pacific Northwest scenery. Known for being a bit brisk and drizzly, the frequent rain has created a spectacular natural landscape that is truly awe-inspiring. The rain is sometimes also to blame for the history of moody, alternative music that has been booming out of the Seattle area...
