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!

Our stay at Becky's cottage was so enjoyable. It's beautiful here and quiet. Her gardens are spectacular. The cottage decor is unique (filled with her beautiful artwork), spacious and charming. Its about ten minutes to town so you need a car. Highly recommended!

Beautiful place
We were in the San Juan islands for a wedding. This place was not only spacious but comfortable. One thing we thought was needed was black out blinds. With the long daylight hours it was difficult to block out the light

Fantastic flowers and fruit trees!
Our hostess was very nice and is a wonderful artist with her paintings all over the cottage! The cottage was very cute and enjoyed our stay there. We had a little problem with the refrigerator open door alert going off but she answered my text quickly on how to turn it off. The kitchen was supplied with most necessities and bathrooms had lots of towels.

Amazing home tucked into a scenic garden
My family could not stop raving about how awesome this place was to stay at. The owner is an artist, and it shows in so many thoughtful details throughout the house. The property also has a beautiful garden and ponds. Also it's in a central location and easy to get anywhere on the island. Highly recommend staying here if you get the chance!!

Tranquil Vibe
First thing-We would stay there again. The place is off the beaten path, but what isn’t on San Juan! It was very clean and cozy cottage with amenities. The master bedroom is very large and the second bedroom is large. The property is a beautiful garden with a pond having a tranquil vibe. And a special feature is Lulu the dog!!!
