Take some time to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in this newly remodeled cabin in the heart of Whidbey Island. A short trip to Deer Lake, this cozy and clean cabin is the perfect place for a weekend getaway to Puget Sound and all it has to offer. Take a walk on Maxwelton Beach (just a short drive away), or from late April to October, enjoy the Bayview farmers market. There are several hiking trails for any level of adventurer at the Trillium Community Forest, and when you're done, enjoy some shopping in Langley or touring the local vineyards.
When you wrap up the day, come home to a full kitchen to prepare your favorite meals using the appliances available, or throw something on the grill and dine alfresco out on the patio area. This cabin boasts many incredible amenities for your convenience. Unwind on the couch with a good book as you enjoy this haven away from the troubles of life, and make some memories to last a lifetime. Afterward, head out to the backyard around sunset and light the firepit for some roasted marshmallows.

Cozy Home for our Family Getaway Weekend!
This was the perfect stay for our family of 4! The home was a wonderful location and short drive to all the restaurants and beaches we wanted to visit. Our boys LOVED the toy options that were available (especially the dinosaurs) and we had an awesome s'mores night with the propane fire pit! We can't wait to go back!

Close to everything
Excellent location, extremely clean and well-kept. Located a few minutes away from a grocery store, dining options, beach walks and the Clinton ferry dock. Would stay here again.
Great two night stay here. Perfect landing spot for me to explore Whidbey. Had everything I needed and check in was a breeze. I hope to come back and to explore all of beautiful Whidbey. Peaceful place and very clean. Thanks for hosting me!
Clean and neat. Comfortable queen bed and pull out sofa. Didn't try the single loft bed. Wonderful Nespresso machine too!

Perfect getaway!!!
This is the perfect cabin for any quiet getaway!!! Perfect location, easy to commute to, easy to find! Everything is very clean and organized!! Gorgeous interior and very private!! We enjoyed dinner in the outdoor space which made our trip even more relaxing!!! Perfect location for shopping, great food options and relaxing at the lake or the beach! We saw lots of amazing wildlife - deer, rabbits and even a otter. Could not suggest this cabin and hosts anymore for the perfect escape onto the island!!

Quaint, Cozy, and Fully Stocked
We loved our time at Havens Way Cottage. We walked to the lake, and my son enjoyed fishing with the rod hanging in the back. The barbecue worked perfectly, and the Nespresso coffee machine is a fun. We were able to cook with the pans, knives, etc. There were even beer mugs, which was a bonus! Place is cozy and on the small side, but it gets the job done!

Secluded, quiet and scenic
The cottage was in a very quiet, secluded part of town. Beautiful greenery and wildlife around the surrounding neighbourhood and on the island itself. Loved the fireplace and the outdoor seating/firepit. Wished there was an extra towel hook or two in the bathroom, as well as a 2nd garbage can somewhere in the cottage. Otherwise, highly recommended.

Very quiet and felt isolated, loved the Nespresso! Shower dial was not very ergonomic- easy to nudge and totally change the temperature. Overall, very clean, comfy bed good living space enjoyed our time there although the checkout time was a bit early and by the time I saw the option to check out later for an additional $20 the offer was gone!

Interesting
No dishwasher as listed
Should bring a fan because it gets hot
Was a lot of dust and dirt underneath things
The owner was loud at some points throwing things and fixing stuff outside.
The house was very close to the rental so next time I’ll pick something more secluded
Everything else was alright. It was a nice getaway, Nice parks and a lake.

This is a beautiful cottage that one can truly enjoy a vacation on the island. "Relax" is the best keyword that I would use to describe the whole experience, and every detail of the cottage has been built around that. The cabin is neither too big nor too small with all the amenities that we need, including those we can find in a decent hotel room and those that one can only find in homes, like kids' toys, and fishing gear!
The location of the cabin is perfect. We enjoyed walking by the tranquil Dear Lake (4 mins walk from the cabin), the breathtaking sunset at Maxwelton beach (10 mins drive from the cabin), and the beautiful town of Langley (12 mins drive from the cabin) with galleries, local stores, and restaurants.
We came to town for a wedding in Snohomish, we wanted a break from the city life and noise. The place itself is pretty and very comfortable overall in the stay. The location is great as you are close to the highway and about 5 minutes away from the ferry line. Only complaint we have is we lost power to our bathroom after the first day. No one ever came to fix the issue after reaching out. I was told they would send somebody to the property. (We were gone all day) When i followed up on the situation they said they would check but then we never heard back from the agent.

Great stay
A lovely one bedroom with kitchen for a quiet stay on whidbey island. Nice location and access to ferry.
we stayed for 2 nights totally and it was a blast! the house was very clean when we arrived. plenty of towels and even some extra blankets and towels. neighbors were super friendly as well as all the people in town. the beds were comfortable as well. showerhead was a little wonky but the water pressure was good! plenty of stuff to do around there and a super short drive to the ferry if you wanna explore outside Clinton too.
The property was perfect for us, we didnt spend a lot of time at the cabin, other than to sleep, but it is a nice little cabin. If i had any conplaint, which I don't, but if i had to pick anything the water pressure in the shower is not very good.

Some nice touches but overall uncomfortable and inconvenient.
Evidence of 'design' with a few sweet details such as the stone shaped sink and thoughtful tiles in the bathroom, and consistent use of rustic flooring.

Disliked: Amenities
Some attempt to create artsy space but low comfort: hard dining chairs, mattress was extra-firm with fishy smells and heat-producing mattress pad. No light bedside. No light at the entry which made it hard to key-code within time limits. Poor accessibility for shorter adults (mirror hung too high; cups out-of-reach, etc). I booked for 2 nights but slept miserably so left after 1.
