Historic Shore Cottage

We loved our stay at this historic cottage. The location is spectacular. The view from the living room and back porch area is wonderful. You are on the water! We found the furnishings and house so unique and special. House is clean and had everything we needed. Beds are comfortable and cozy. We are a family of four (two adults, two teens) and had plenty of space. The house is very private and quiet. We enjoyed the puzzles and eclectic book collection. We also loved Bainbridge Island: restaurants, ice cream, renting kayaks from Exotic Aquatics at Eagle Harbor, finding the Pia the Peacekeeper sculpture, visiting the Japanese American Exclusion Memorial. We took the ferry to Seattle for one day to explore the city and see a Mariners game. We spent one day at Mount Rainier National Park and one day at Olympic National Park. We took our time in the mornings, because the cottage was so lovely, and we looked forward to coming home in the evenings to the beautiful water view. Thank you for sharing this special place! We would love to return one day.

This historic cottage was divine- the herons, seals and eagles welcomed us and we so enjoyed the comfy beds, the fun puzzles, the efficient assortment of coffee maker(s!), the quiet and finding deep sleep listening to the waves each night.

This is prefect to relax and get away from the city.

We loved the location and the view. It was clean and the bed comfortable. A bit hard to get into the bath when you’re a bit older. And some of the chairs were a bit uncomfortable.

This cottage is older and not modern and this was one of the top things we loved about it. Our teenage daughter loved it too and wasn't on her phone nearly as much as she could be. This is due mainly to the magnificent views, the location and the super close proximity to the water! And oh my, all of the nature and wildlife sightings we breathtaking. We were so relaxed and we cooked every night and morning. What a perfect time of year to visit as well. We will definitely be back.

Would definitely stay again! This home was actually more spacious than I envisioned. We rented a car and it was super easy to drive it onto the ferry to get to bainbridge island! The home is the best place to relax. I love the simplicity and being able to watch the waves and sea lions from the porch. The owners have tons of books to choose from, I kinda wish I wouldn’t have brought my own :) Kitchen has everything we needed including a coffee maker and convection oven/toaster — we were also delighted to find a pack n play! The kids room is sweet and cozy with kids books and a few small toys as well :)
