Friday Harbor Cottage | Woods Lake Cottage

1 Bedroom Cottage in Friday Harbor

Quaint and charming Craftsman cottage on Woods Lake located within a five-minute drive to the ocean so you can watch sunsets over Vancouver Island, Canada. The island is a nature lover’s dream. It is crisscrossed with hiking trails, wonderful ocean visits, kayaking and whale watching availability and is a boater’s paradise. It is home to a small community but highly active in the arts including a Community Theater, several art galleries, and the SJIMA art museum. Many artists call these islands their home and have home studios open to the public. Woods Lake Cottage includes an onsite working artist’s studio open to visitors and operated by local artist, Yvonne Buijs-Mancuso. Available for purchase are art glass pieces, Encaustic (wax) paintings, and silver and copper electroformed jewelry.
San Juan Island located in the Pacific Northwest is one of five islands served by Washington State Ferries. The New York Times recently listed the San Juan Islands at #3 as one of the best islands to visit in North America. The island is blessed with two National Historical Parks for visitors to see, historical as they date back to a Pig War skirmish that ensued between the British and the Americans in the 1800’s. Roche Harbor Resort, a highly popular tourist destination as the hotel dates back to the time of the Roosevelts, attracts mega yachts, fishermen, sailors, and tourists that can browse the well-tended flower gardens or enjoy a four-star dinner at the MacMillan Restaurant. The Pelindaba Lavender farm, is within walking distance of the cottage only a half mile down the road. We are situated across from Alchemy Art Center for those of you interested in pottery, photography and printing classes which are offered throughout the year. If you are lucky enough to be staying here in late July and early August, Island Island Stage Left performs professional Shakespearian plays several evenings per week.
The home itself is an exercise in eclectic design and function. The stained-glass windows, tiffany style lamps, original paintings, beamed woodwork, cobblestone fireplace, and tiled counters lend themselves to a cozy, laidback retreat. The cottage is fully furnished home with stocked kitchen equipment, master bedroom with king bed, loft with queen bed and day bed with linens supplied, and an upstairs sitting area and desk. Full master bath with tub/shower and half bathroom. Living area with flat TV screen. It is necessary to supply your own internet aps to access online stations via the cottage WIFI.

Summary: Charming Woods Lake Cottage was the perfect place for our first visit to the island. Very well equipped and convenient to town, hiking, orca watching. Yvonne is a gracious and welcoming host.

Sarah Y. Aug 24, 2023 01:52:04 AM

Summary: Beautifully crafted, cozy cottage. Wonderful hosts. Overall a very nice stay. A couple things that would have made it even better: some comfortable outdoor furniture. We love enjoying our coffee and meals outside. Some sturdy Adirondack chairs and a little bistro table would be great additions. A few kitchen basics like olive oil, sugar would’ve also been useful. Overall a well appointed and beautiful little cottage.
