We had a wonderful stay at this home. It was very clean, comfortable, and well stocked with everything we needed. The location was great, and we especially enjoyed the peaceful yard with beautiful flowers and deer passing through. It made the stay feel extra relaxing and special. We would definitely stay here again!
This home is clean and in a quiet location. We enjoyed the front deck and yard. Plenty of seating in the open concept living area. Nice kitchen. Worked well for my family.
Everything was perfect about our trip to Friday Harbor and our "home away from home". Hosts were great at communicating with us, instructions were clear and check-in a breeze. The house and yard were beautiful and comfortable. We will definitely be return guests!

Thanks for being such a great guest. So glad you enjoyed Wildflower Cottage Retreat. I hope you will consider booking with us again on your next visit to beautiful San Juan Island.
It felt like you’re living in a tree house. You’re surrounded with beautiful green trees. Deer, fox and a BIG cat came visiting. A wonderful place to enjoy life.
Perfectly suitable for our group. Loved that it was in a quiet, wooded setting. We didn't do any cooking, but we noticed how well-equipped the kitchen was. I wished the bathtub stopper had worked.

Thanks so much for the great review. It has taken a long time to be able to get a plumber to come and fix the stopper. He's been scheduled for October for almost a year and he just told me he wouldn't be able to come until November now. In fact, all tub and shower fixtures will be changed out to match the sink fixtures. Nothing moves even remotely quick here on the island. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Great place. Clean and spacious! Bigger than I anticipated. Having a working, clean grill with a wonderful deck, along with a fully-stocked kitchen was a huge plus for us! This is the best kitchen we’ve had with VRBO and we generally eat-in when traveling, so it was wonderful.
We enjoyed the yard, games, grill, and visiting deer (and a friendly neighbor dog). Comfy beds and well appointed kitchen
