A Charming And Artistic Cottage Set In a Beautiful Garden

Come enjoy a relaxing retreat set in a beautiful garden conveniently located halfway between Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor.
Foxglove cottage is a charming cottage surrounded by a lovely garden situated on 20 acres of majestic fir and cedar forest.There is a small swimming pond with a dock and my artists studio ..The house is completely remodeled and almost brand new. There are slate floors in the kitchen, dining room and entry way and bamboo floors thru out the rest of the house. The original structure was built with beach logs and field stones and lots of creativity . This is truly a craftsman's creation.
The master bedroom is large and spacious . The guest bedroom feels like a tree house. The upstairs bathroom has slate floors, a stone sink , tile shower and small Jacuzzi tub. The master bedroom has a queen size bed and flat screen HDTV. The guest bedroom also has a queen size bed. Both bedrooms have lots of windows viewing the surrounding garden.
The living room has a double door onto a small patio overlooking the pond. There is a large flat screen T.V. and DVD player. The house has access to Dish television.
The kitchen is completely equipped for you to do your own meals . There is a large window seat for lounging . Right outside the kitchen is a patio with table and chairs for outside dining.
The owners live on the property and will be available for any questions you may have. Interaction can be as much or as little as you like. Fresh fruit and veggies will often be available from the garden. Just ask me what might be ripe for the picking. The property is deer fenced so we ask our guests to please remember to close the gates. It is truly amazing how much one deer can eat in an evening stroll thru the garden.
We have a young cream retriever who may wander down for a visit. We try to keep her away from the guests but she is very friendly and loves people above all things. She tends to bark a bit on your arrival which is a greeting of hooray finally someone has come to see me. We are working on this. If you have an issue with dogs please let me know.
There are many wonderful and exciting places to visit on San Juan Island. There are numerous beaches and parks close by. You can hike , bike, swim, whale watch, kayak, or just relax. It is truly a vacationers paradise.

The Foxglove Cottage is delightful. Beautiful setting, cozy and whimsical. Morning walks in the gardens and snug evenings around the fireplace in the quaint living room. The kitchen is well appointed and beds comfortable. Delightful stay!

Beautiful quiet property

Absolute beautiful property with a natural pond to swim in. The Cottage you stay in below the main house is cute and has some custom craftsmanship charm. You might also be greeted by Lulu the dog a friendly girl. Doesn’t take long to get anywhere on the island. The cell reception is dodgy and Wi-Fi. But if you are looking for a quiet stay this is quite nice.

Lovely stay

The cottage was so peaceful and charming. It is about 15 minutes away from Friday Harbor and you do need to print directions as you won’t have cell service once you leave the harbor area. When we pulled up it felt like we were in a different world . We had rain our first day but it was so nice and cozy in the cottage. We did puzzles and watched DVDs. Kitchen was well stocked to make breakfast and dinner. The coffee was delicious! Extremely limited wifi - would not count on either wifi or cell service while you are there, but the break from the outside world was wonderful. Beds were super cozy and we spent time reading in the window seat as well. The garden is beautiful.

Lovely, Central, San Juan Getaway

Stayed her with my wife and her parents as a delayed birthday celebration for her mother. Typically, when the two of us travel, we worry little about the place we are staying, because we are often on the go exploring and enjoying a new place. However, with the family in tow, we knew that we would be looking at a slower and likely more homey-style vacation. This place turned out to be the perfect choice. The property is secluded, but still central (about a 15-minute drive) to any part of San Juan Island. The grounds are a stunning mix of open space and an impressive flower, fruit, and vegetable garden. The home was clean, comfortable, spacious, and more than met all of our needs as we lounged, explored, cooked, and caught up over the week we spent here. I strongly recommend this place for anyone looking to "have it all" when traveling to the Islands.

Foxglove cottage

This is a lovely venue situated in the middle of the island, therefore a vehicle is needed. It is larger than what "cottage" might imply. It has a full kitchen and dining area, separate TV room, washer & dryer, a full bathroom on main floor, two bedrooms with full bathroom upstairs. There is no air conditioning, only fans, so it can get quite warm upstairs, but the evenings and early mornings were quite comfortable. The property is spectacularly lovely nestled in a truly huge English garden setting with a pond, fruit trees, abundance of flowers and vegetables all around. Our host Becky was very pleasant, full of island knowledge, though we were mostly interested in her garden. Lulu, Becky's dog, is quite friendly but also knows her place. We did not meet Becky's husband, as he was doing some volunteer work elsewhere. We had a wonderful experience and would recommend it to anyone wanting to be out of downtown and able to access the island in all directions easily by vehicle.

Enchantment

The Artist's Cottage and setting are enchanting and delightful. Becky greeted us and shared some of their history and love of this land and their development of it. Becky's art and artistic touch is throughout the cottage and the gardens as are her husband's workmanship. It was so enchanting we found ourselves wondering if we would be able to leave. My friends favorite spot was the window seat looking out onto the gardens and pond. The beds were heavenly. We did manage to pull ourselves away from the enchantment each day and in our 3 days explored San Juan Island and much of what it has to offer. It was nice to be away from all the activity and easy access and drives to Friday Harbor and highlights on the island. We enjoyed excellent food, incredible nature and scenery - loved scenic byway loop - highlights for us on our explorations were the Cattlepoint lighthouse, Lime-Kiln park, the lavendar and alpaca farms, Roche Harbor, and whale watching - saw 5 pods - 22 Orca whales - amazing! Each night happy and tired, we were grateful to return to our enchanted cottage. We highly recommend The Artist's Cottage. Becky and her dog, Lulu, were very friendly and welcoming as well as respected our privacy.
