About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Spring has arrived! Beautiful views & gardens. Great hikes & dining close-by.

In a fairy tale setting of forests and gardens, the charming Stone Cottage sits just above Padilla Bay, with wonderful views of the Islands, Guemes Channel, the distant Cascades and Mount Rainier.

The Stone Cottage is situated on beautiful Samish Island, one of the lesser known (and best kept secrets!) of the San Juan Archipelago, off the northwest coast of Washington. It is a "drive-to" island connected to the mainland by land reclaimed through a system of dikes- created in the early 20th century.

Samish Island is located six miles from the quaint town of Edison; featuring several unique galleries and restaurants plus an award-winning Brewstillery. It is less than 10 miles west of Interstate 5, and 25 minutes south of Bellingham. It is surrounded by Chuckanut, Samish and Padilla bays, offering some of the best Clams, Crabs and Oysters in the Northwest!

Once part of the ancestral homelands of the Samish Indians, a Coast Salish tribe of the Pacific Northwest, the island is now a mix of rustic cabins and sprawling estates set amongst deep forests, rocky cliffs and sandy beaches. The island is also home to a large number of bald eagles, blue heron and other wildlife. The quiet island roads are perfect for long walks and bicycle rides (don't forget to wave to everyone!)

Like stepping back in time, this local landmark was built from island stone in the 1940's. It has now been carefully restored to retain it's rustic charm while offering every modern convenience.

A rare find and truly unique property. All of the amenities of a top rated B & B are provided with the privacy and comfort of your own Vacation Home. Your peace and privacy are our top priority. Let the awesome views inspire you and the closeness to nature restore you.

Enjoy a board game or a classic movie in the cozy cedar paneled living room. Watch the ships and sailboats go by from the window seat, or curl up with a good book by the original stone fireplace. The patio is the perfect spot for summer evening cocktails, barbecuing and intimate campfires.

Whether you are planning a Private Escape, a Romantic Retreat, or a Fun Friends Getaway, the Stone Cottage is the perfect choice!

To view dates and make reservations more than 6 months in advance, please send a request via VRBO's "contact the host" portal.

We have been in business since 2009 with dozens of repeat guests. We look forward to hosting you for your special Samish Island Getaway soon!

Commanding views of Padilla Bay and beyond extend to Rainier far to the south on a bluebird day. Well equipped and furnished with plenty of historic charm. The hosts were welcoming and obviously care about the property and their guests' experience.

Pacific Northwest at its Finest!
Stellar experience in an absolutely amazing space. We felt very much at home and comfortable and quite spoiled by our hosts at The Stone Cottage. It's beauty is very rarely matched and the quiet and peacefulness of the island was incredible. We are so thankful to have discovered Samish Island. It is a very special place. A big thank you to Debbie and Dave.
