Light-filled cottage in garden oasis. ❤️ of island

Little Red Cottage is a masterfully designed tiny home ideally located in the heart of the island, minutes from shops, restaurants & the beach. Prepare breakfast in a sunlit kitchen & dine at the window bar overlooking peaceful, lush gardens. Re-energize yourself after exploring the island by taking a nap on the window seat or bask in the sun on the private deck with a good book & a cup of coffee. Also, just so you know, we have tried to be environmentally friendly with a waterless toilet.
The space
We wanted to keep the environment in mind when creating the Little Red Cottage so we have used repurposed building materials and furniture throughout the cottage as well as installing a top-of-the-line Swedish composting toilet. Though just 400 sq. ft, the spacious feel will wow you: it has a well-equipped kitchen with coffee (from our local roasterie) and tea provided so that you can enjoy a lovely cup at home. There is also a refrigerator, freezer, stove-top and microwave enabling you to prepare some meals in. In case you would like to dine out we have provided a list of restaurants and coffee shops for you to experience here on the island. Warm yourself by the gas fireplace as you watch your favorite shows on the smart tv, or let your writing juices be inspired at the antique writing desk looking over the beauty and serenity of the garden. Also we have provided a high quality mattress, fine linens and your choice of pillows hoping that you can come and rest well while you stay with us. We hope you enjoy our yard while you sit at your cafe table and chairs out on the private deck or by enjoying the hammock in the orchard.
Guest access
Our guests are free to enjoy our yard as much or as little as they would like.

Cozy Red Cottage

This little cottage is a real find... and was perfect in every way! We loved all the special touches within the cottage ...the choice of fabrics/paint colors/personal touches with paintings/and art. The kitchen was wonderful and had everything anyone would want or need to prepare a meal ...The composting toilet was new to us - but absolutely did what it was designed to do and do it well! And the upstairs bedroom was also just great... the bed was very comfortable and provided a really good restful sleep. We will return again ... and were grateful to find this gem!

Delightful Getaway

We got in pretty late but we were able to still check in easily. Communication was very timely and didn't run into any problems. For as small as the cottage was, the space was not congested at all! Would definitely come back and highly recommend if you're looking for a romantic vacation!

What a great way to get away!

The tiny home is very well-built and cozy. The property is beautiful, even in the dead of winter and Maya the dog is SUPER FRIENDLY! What a great stay! The cottage is well-thought-out and gives you a nice feel for living like a minimalist for a few days. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Charming Cottage on Vashon

This was such a charming little cottage on Vashon. It has both function and charm. The cottage has everything you might need from a very comfy bed to a coffee and creamer in the fridge. I look forward to staying there again when I need a retreat from the business of life.
