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.
