  Wonderfully isolated from the madness of everyday life. A calm and beautiful spot, can watch the sun rise and light creep over the waters of the bay, see and hear the birds, enjoy the sun on the dock. Our Portuguese water dog felt she was in heaven. English camp close by for hiking. We brought our bikes as well, excellent riding in the San Juans. The cottage was perfect. Cute and comfortable and had everything we needed. Had all our meals there oveooking the water. Exactly the break we needed.

  • Manager Responded on 5/14/2019

    Sounds like you had an absolutely amazing stay at Garrison Bay Cottage, and we could not be more thrilled! What an ideal stay with your bikes and hiking access!

  Radley M from BELLINGHAM, WA recommends this vacation rental

  I sweet little hidden nugget of relaxation. The home was nicely equipped and furnished. Not having the option of a TV was well needed. The pups loved hanging out on patio and exploring with us.
  The only real thing that stood out as non-positive was the bed drooped so bad in the middle that it felt as though both of us were sleeping in a hammock!
  Other than that, a 10am check-out seemed rather early especially when the hotels check out is 11am. With a $200 late check-out fee, we opted for that and were told it was not an option that day... So much for sleeping in a bit on the last day of a beautiful and relaxing weekend.

  • Manager Responded on 4/2/2019

    We are glad to hear your stay at Garrison Bay Cottage was relaxing and enjoyable for you and your pups. Garrison Bay Cottage is very special and secluded, and we happy to hear you were able to soak in all it has to offer. The homeowners have recently decided to purchase a new mattress at the property, which will be upgraded this spring. The checkout time is 10am for all the vacation rental properties that we manage, as rental homes require more care and time cleaning than a hotel room. We try to accommodate late checkout times as much as possible, but late checkout times are dependent on the cleaning schedule of a property. Unfortunately, this property did have guests set to arrive on the afternoon of your checkout day, as was explained.

  Beautiful little cabin with the beat views that is well maintained. We had some trouble getting our car into the rural driveway due to the rare heavy snowfall that had just taken place and ended up receiving assistance via the phone from the property management and also from a passing neighbor. So appreciative of both.

  • Manager Responded on 3/2/2019

    That was a very adventurous and snowy weekend you endured through! We are so glad you were able to get there and enjoy yourselves. Garrison Bay Cottage in the snow probably looked like something out of a fairytale. We hope you can return soon, we'd love to host you again at Garrison Bay Cottage!

  We loved the three nights we spent at the Garrison Bay Cottage! The only thing that could have made it better is if we had time in our schedule to stay longer. The cabin is cozy, warm, clean and has the most comfortable bed I think we have ever slept in. We would love to return and bring our paddle boards, as the bay is beautiful.

  Relaxed, beautiful, and renewing. We loved that the cabin was so cozy and had a kitchen. The sound system was a pleasant surprise as well!
  
  One odd thing was that upon arrival, the heat was turned up as high as possible. It must have been close to 100-105 degrees inside and we had to keep the doors and windows open for a little while. It was not a big deal - that would be the only change I suggest.

  Everything about our rental experience was excellent. The cottage is so quaint, all the amenities you need are here, and the setting and location on Garrison Bay is fantastic. It would be really great if owners gave renters the option of using the small kayaks--that was our only "wish" with our stay. Owners might want to consider installing screen doors--the breezes are fantastic with both doors open but we did have some flies due to no screen doors. Not a big deal though!

  Love the island and the House was great. Everything we needed, well organized and clean.

Loved Roche Harbor, Westcoat Bay Oystersand Duck Soap was a hit. Sad to say goodbye. Will return for a longer visit

We brought our kayaks and went out early every morning to enjoy the bald eagles, seal families playing in the bay and calm waters and then each evening to end the day. Wonderful places for food in Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor. We took some nice walk/hikes, toured the Lavender Farm, Saturday Market and local art galleries. Super fun and relaxing weekend, we will definitely be back - Thank You!

I absolutely LOVED all of the wildlife that was viewable from the cottage. The outdoor living areas were also wonderful. It was so quiet and peaceful. And the property was fabulous for my dog. The property management company was excellent and communicating with me regarding the property. They were readily available if I had needed anything. I was so sad to leave this property - but I really hope to be back someday soon.

  Susan S from San Francisco, CA recommends this vacation rental

  This was exactly the experience I was looking for after a heavy and hectic work-year: quiet, solitude, beauty, light, wildlife, hiking, kayaking, local seafood. Could not ask for a better location, or more comfortable accommodations. Liked being more secluded, not in Friday Harbor, but still easy to get around the island by car. My only quibble? We're coffee and tea drinkers who love a big morning mug of wake-up juice--and your cups are too small! But that's a "first world problem," as they say. A truly exquisite experience overall. I would happily stay again, and recommend to others enthusiastically.

When the sun was out, it was great to sit outside and take in the views. And during a thunderstorm, it was fun watching the storm roll through over the water. Conveniently located near Roche Harbir and only about 15 minutes from Friday Harbor. We will definitely be back!! Our pup loved it too :)

  It's the New York efficiency of lake side cabins for two. Pretty much everything is ready, well thought out. Super comfortable bed. The view of the lake and English Camp is spectacular. Loved the little Pig War statue. No TV but the book selection will give you a book foundation on American thought and the chess game will sharpen your skills. Even in late June we weren't getting mosquito bites. You wouldn't know it's dog friendly, didn't feel torn apart in any way. The only things missing: a comfortable place to eat inside (stools too tall for the counter) and no paddles for the kayak (assume they were off limits for guests). Thanks to the owners for providing such a wonderful place!
