About this home
So Charming and inviting this cottage sits overlooking San Juan Valley, offering sweeping views of the valley. The cozy one-bedroom home features a thoughtfully updated kitchen, living room and views of Mt Baker as well and is adjacent to acres of conservation land. Outdoors, the property opens into a generous yard with several sitting areas, numerous apple and plum trees, places to read, unwind, or simply enjoy. Below the main cottage, a remodeled bunk house provides an additional retreat with the same sweeping views with a bedroom, bath and livingroom. Though not a full guest house, its finished warmth and simplicity make it well-suited for creative work, visiting friends, or peaceful solitude. There is also a small shop, a greenhouse and a garden shed.
