The great room is very large and an open concept that include the kitchen, living room and dining room and has luxury vinyl plank flooring, vaulted ceilings, a skylight and large picture windows that let in the natural sunlight. Relax on the loveseat and sofa, read a book across from the electric fireplace for that calming ambiance or enjoy family time watching a movie on the 55" flat screen television with satellite service.

The spacious, fully equipped kitchen was recently updated with new stainless appliances and granite countertops. There is both a traditional coffee maker as well as a Keurig. The dining area has seating for 6 and there is also bar seating for 3. There is plenty of space to enjoy board games or to work on a puzzle. If you can’t unplug, the home does have wireless internet service and offers good cell phone reception for most carriers.

The cottage offers 3 bedrooms with well-appointed sleeping for 6. (7th guest is allowed at an additional fee per night. Please see the Rental Agreement and House Rules) Each bedroom has room darkening blinds. There is also a queen size air mattress available upon request, which is considered the 4th bed.

The primary bedroom has luxury vinyl plank flooring and is furnished with a king size bed with a luxurious pillow top mattress, night stands, dresser and a desk. The ensuite has a tub shower combo, sink, toilet and is stocked with plush towels, shampoo and conditioner, and both bar and liquid soaps. The other two bedrooms are carpeted and each furnished with queen beds, dressers, night stands and high quality bedding. The guest bathroom is just across from the two bedrooms and is stocked with plush towels, shampoo and conditioner, and both bar and liquid soaps.

The partially covered deck is a great place to relax from a days' adventure, or enjoy the serenity of the surroundings which include beautiful madrone, fir, and evergreens and abundant wildlife such as deer, eagles, and fox. Play some yard games – bocce ball, croquet or badminton – on the lawn off the deck. There is also a corn hole game provided that can be played on the deck or in the yard during dryer times. The deck dining table offers seating for 6. Two Adirondack chairs are on the deck for relaxing around the propane fire pit table. There is also a stainless steel propane BBQ with a side burner.(propane provided)

Wildflower cottage is comfortable in a great location
The house was a great base for my family exploring San Juan Island for a few days. We were very comfortable. We made and are several meals in the kitchen. Several of my family members enjoyed the outdoor games, too. The floor has some damaged areas that we took care when walking on, but we know the owner and property manager were aware of it.

Fabulous rental!
This house was perfect for a trip with my girlfriends. It was clean, spacious, fully equipped with all the necessary items and the beds were extremely comfortable. We loved the yard and particularly the fire pit. The close location to Roche Harbor was an added plus. I highly recommend this rental for anyone visiting San Juan Island

Lovely home in a peaceful location. Nice details and very comfortable. We were in town for a wedding and after a long day of travel were allowed to slip in a bit early to get ready. Very kind and accommodating and greatly appreciated special touches. Great service and kind management.

Fantastic place
Everything about our stay at this place was amazing. I was particularly impressed with how well stocked the kitchen was. It's incredibly thoughtful to have condiments, coffee, hot chocolate, loads of spices, and even cooking oil already available. The home was fairly easy to locate, even in the dark of night. I loved the location close to the harbor, and the quiet solitude that the area provided. I can't wait to return!

Wonderful property close to Roche Harbor
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at the Wildflower Cottage. The property was very clean and had everything we needed including a well stocked kitchen. It was so nice to have a high chair, playard, and toddler dishes for our 12 month old and games/puzzles to use during the rainy days of our visit. We will definitely stay here again!

Perfect three bedroom home for the weekend or week. Has lots of extras in the kitchen. Private lot hidden in the trees. You have to really look to see your neighbors, big yard and covered deck to play outside in. And in just a few minutes drive you’re at Wescott Bay or Roche Harbor.
