A Charming And Artistic Cottage Set In a Beautiful Garden

Come enjoy a relaxing retreat set in a beautiful garden conveniently located halfway between Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor.
Foxglove cottage is a charming cottage surrounded by a lovely garden situated on 20 acres of majestic fir and cedar forest.There is a small swimming pond with a dock and my artists studio ..The house is completely remodeled and almost brand new. There are slate floors in the kitchen, dining room and entry way and bamboo floors thru out the rest of the house. The original structure was built with beach logs and field stones and lots of creativity . This is truly a craftsman's creation.
The master bedroom is large and spacious . The guest bedroom feels like a tree house. The upstairs bathroom has slate floors, a stone sink , tile shower and small Jacuzzi tub. The master bedroom has a queen size bed and flat screen HDTV. The guest bedroom also has a queen size bed. Both bedrooms have lots of windows viewing the surrounding garden.
The living room has a double door onto a small patio overlooking the pond. There is a large flat screen T.V. and DVD player. The house has access to Dish television.
The kitchen is completely equipped for you to do your own meals . There is a large window seat for lounging . Right outside the kitchen is a patio with table and chairs for outside dining.
The owners live on the property and will be available for any questions you may have. Interaction can be as much or as little as you like. Fresh fruit and veggies will often be available from the garden. Just ask me what might be ripe for the picking. The property is deer fenced so we ask our guests to please remember to close the gates. It is truly amazing how much one deer can eat in an evening stroll thru the garden.
We have a young cream retriever who may wander down for a visit. We try to keep her away from the guests but she is very friendly and loves people above all things. She tends to bark a bit on your arrival which is a greeting of hooray finally someone has come to see me. We are working on this. If you have an issue with dogs please let me know.
There are many wonderful and exciting places to visit on San Juan Island. There are numerous beaches and parks close by. You can hike , bike, swim, whale watch, kayak, or just relax. It is truly a vacationers paradise.

Our stay at Becky's cottage was so enjoyable. It's beautiful here and quiet. Her gardens are spectacular. The cottage decor is unique (filled with her beautiful artwork), spacious and charming. Its about ten minutes to town so you need a car. Highly recommended!

We loved our short stay at Becky’s artistic cottage in the beautiful gardens! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had all we needed for simple meal preparation and the cottage was spacious and beautifully decorated. The outdoor sitting spaces and gardens are wonderful.

Highly recommend!!! A beautiful cottage with lots of windows set in a very large gorgeous garden. When you look out the windows all you see is beautiful garden and flowers. You hear birds singing all day long. Just 10 mins from Friday Harbor. We loved it!!

Amazing stay
The property was amazing! Hostess was welcoming and helpful. She is an artist and has amazing artwork! My kids loved playing with the dog and checking out the chickens and garden. My parents loved the garden and quite places to enjoy nature and read.

San Juan trip
We enjoyed our stay here. You can tell there is a lot of love that goes into maintaining the house and the gardens. The gardens were especially lovely with everything starting to bloom. One thing I would suggest is more night lighting, especially around the stairs in the master bedroom and living room. My mom (age 77) took a tumble (she was OK!) because she missed the stair leading down into the bedroom and I think some extra night lighting around the stair area would have helped with that.

Comfortable garden getaway
We had a lovely stay- beautiful house and garden/pond. House was cozy, loved the window seat in the kitchen. Within 10-20 min drive to most every beach and hike. Great communication from host.

Lovely, Artistic and Unique!
Foxglove Cottage was the perfect place to stay for our visit to San Juan. The house is very quaint, and surrounded by Becky’s lovely gardens. It’s well furnished, had all the necessities, and was a unique and fun place to stay (especially with Becky’s paintings decorating the place!) We enjoyed visiting her art studio and were charmed by the pond and scenic area it was located in. Overall, a lovely place!

Enchanted cottage
Staying at Foxglove Cottage was a magical experience. From the handcrafted wood, enchanting artwork, amazing garden and overall serenity- this place is amazing. The cottage has been designed with clever space so that even with 4 adults, it was easy to find private space in addition to wonderful spaces to share. We would love to return!

This was an awesome and unique property. It was super secluded, very quiet and absolutely beautiful. The host was nice, interesting and a pleasure to talk with. Besides the cottage being a work of art, the host is an artist. The grounds are superb. To cap it all off, there is a precious dog that comes to visit almost every morning. This place is truly paradise.

Beautiful quiet property
Absolute beautiful property with a natural pond to swim in. The Cottage you stay in below the main house is cute and has some custom craftsmanship charm. You might also be greeted by Lulu the dog a friendly girl. Doesn’t take long to get anywhere on the island. The cell reception is dodgy and Wi-Fi. But if you are looking for a quiet stay this is quite nice.

Magical
We spent 2 nights at this beautiful Foxglove Cottage and it was simply magical. The accommodations are top notch and the gardens are beyond. We loved every minute on island and will be back to definitely stay here again as soon as we can. My mom visiting from Chicago was in awe of your talents with both garden spade and paintbrush! What a fun spot. - Toddy & Chris

Getaway with family
The home was really nice and as shown in the pictures. The hosts were friendly too. They responded quickly to any of our requests/concerns. I would definitely recommend this to any one visiting Friday Harbor. Only flip side was that the drawers had clothes from previous guests which was not something we expected. We anyway did not use those drawers since there were many other storage spaces.
