Enjoyed staying at this pet friendly historic spot. Comfortable king-sized bed and lots of interesting things to look at inside the cabin. Fun to see all the deer around the neighborhood. Very accommodating host who even reached out before our arrival to check on our preferred coffee creamer. Thank you!

We couldn't have loved our time in Lovejoy Cottage more. Susan was so thoughtful - asking how we take our coffee so the fridge could be stocked before our arrival! They had a Discovery Pass available for use, along with a carefully curated list of activities to do on the island. She gave us recommendations for where to go out to eat, and each was perfect for us. It was pet friendly and we were grateful to able to bring our dog with us and have the trip truly be for the entire family.I'm looking forward to finding an excuse to come back and stay again!

A lovely stay

We had a great time staying here with our pets. It's a very quiet place and we enjoyed the freedom that the kitchenette offers as it is well supplied. The view of the water from the big window is amazing during sunset. Also really close to town!
There was comfortable space for my dog, which is a huge benefit.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Upchurch

Host profile image
We spent most of our lives in Sonoma County, CA - but a road trip to help friends move led to discovering beautiful Whidbey Island and historic Coupeville. We immediately began a search for our future retirement location, and within 3 months found the perfect spot. Over the next decade plus, we rented the main house and stayed in the cottage while we finished our careers…finally making a permanent move in 2021. We love living in this friendly small town in an incredibly beautiful setting.

Why they chose this property

Living so close to the water is a dream come true. We are a short 2 blocks from the water in a quiet neighborhood…many deer and rabbits call our yard home. The community is idyllic, and the natural beauty astounding no matter the weather…so many amazing parks and hiking trails are available, and we take advantage of them all.

What makes this property unique

The home and cottage are both circa 1900. Completely renovated in the 90s, the cottage is filled with historic photos of the area and antiques. Our home is a work in progress, but the cottage is comfortable and up to date. We love our pets, with 4 small rescue dogs and a kitty…they are often in the yard during the day, so communication is important if you bring your fur baby. We have a pet protocol which involves single word texts to one another to avoid any contact with our pack and your pet!
