The full kitchen is equipped with fridge, freezer, gas stove & oven, microwave & hood fan, coffee pot, toaster and tea kettle. Plus all the pots, pans, dishes and utensils you'll need to be able to cook during your stay. You'll also find an assortment of coffee, tea and quick breakfast options, including freshly laid eggs!

The bathroom features modern fixtures, local live-edge counter, plush towels, on-demand hot water and mirrored closet with hangers and 2 drawers.

Ample off-street parking is provided directly in front of the guesthouse, in the private driveway.

We live in the main house, and the Guesthouse is completely separate. With self check-in, personal door code and private driveway, you'll be free to come and go as you please with complete privacy. We're just a text message away if you need anything.

Lovely apartment in good location

Comfortable furniture, well-equipped apartment (with surprising amenities), quiet neighborhood close to water, shopping/restaurant area. Works well if you use a walker providing you can navigate 3 steps with a handrail.

Room with a View

Beautiful studio, well equipped and comfy. Close to Commercial ave and all it has to offer from burgers to italian pastry. Friendly hosts went the extra mile for us and we really appreciated that. If your here on a clear night you can sit out on the porch and watch stars and satellites for hours, and it's soooo quiet.

Anacortes Guestroom

Pamela has thought of everything (and then some!) that a guest might need or want. The converted garage space, in a quiet historic residential neighborhood was the most pristine rental we’ve experienced. Comfy bed, filtered water in the fridge, coffee (no milk), even eggs (probably from the chickens on the opposite end of their house next door.,

Great cottage a stones throw from the sea.

Thank you so much for a very comfortable three nights. This little rental is very big on detail and impeccably clean. To our surprise the hosts kindly left us the most beautiful blue speckled eggs in the refrigerator. There are countless thoughtful extras you just can’t imagine. The hosts are very warm and welcoming. We wish them all the best and hope to stay again.

Relaxing getaway

I love this property and stayed here again this year while my teen daughter attended a day camp for the week. The host, Pam is so kind and the cottage so well appointed and organized. It makes me want to go declutter and organize my own house!! Love how close we are to town, the water for peaceful evening walks and will definitely come back if the opportunity presents itself!!

Getaway by the sea

We had a wonderful stay at Pamela’s cottage. The bed and pillows were so comfortable! She had it well stocked with many things to make our stay enjoyable. All communication with Pamela was very prompt. One day we cycled to the ferry that took us to Lopez island where we enjoyed the sights by bike. Another day we went to Tulalip outlet mall, just an hour away. We enjoyed walks around the quiet and beautiful neighborhood. Sunsets were stunning. We would happily return!

Can't say enough about how responsive and nice Pam was to work with. She reach out to me hours before check-in letting me know that if I arrived early the place was ready. the amenities were top shop shelf. And I mean every little detail . Kitchen was well stocked. Even fresh eggs and butter in the fridge. I stay at places like this often when I travel. It sure is a delight when you stumble upon a place done as nicely as this one.

Perfect birthday weekend

The house was perfect, the host was perfect. The wife and i loved this cozy studio, Pam made it feel even cozier with the decor and everything that was provided for us, which was honestly just about everything you would need for a relaxing stay. Its about a block away from the Guemes island ferry you can literally look out the door to see it depart theres a beautiful little beach a walk away from the house. If your thinking of going to Anacortes or anywhere near you need to stay here. I wish i could rate higher cause i would. Thank you so much for the beautiful weekend stay Pam!!

Absolutely Amazing!

We stayed here celebrating our one year wedding anniversary. Typically small places like this are made as cheaply as possible, with cheap appliances, decorations, furniture, etc so that’s what I was expecting. When I walked in I was SHOCKED at how nice everything was! Even a gas stove range. We loved the robes, fuzzy socks, any toiletries we could ever need, very nice and clean cookware, and the icing on the cake was the eggs in the fridge from the chickens we could see in the yard! The place was so clean we could have eaten off the floor. I wish I could take this place everywhere we traveled!

Awesome Stay

The property was wonderful. It had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed our short time in the property and in Anacortes walking to and from downtown. We toured the area: the tulip festival; Le Conner, Pam’s dinner recommendation in Le Conner was perfect; Mount Vernon, it was all spectacular. Thanks Pam for the lovely stay.

The cleanliness, coziness, and attention to detail in the guesthouse were absolutely top notch. It was a beautiful, safe location to spend the night before running a marathon on Whidbey island. Will definitely be booking again next time I am in the area! Thank you Pam for being such a wonderful host!

This property is simply amazing. There are so many extra little touches that make it a home away from home. The bedding is extremely comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked and allowed me to cook effortlessly and safely. The fresh eggs from the chickens on-site were delicious.

This tranquil “home” had all the amenities a guest could need. The space was very clean and delightfully decorated. The extras in the bathroom (e.g., make-up remover, lotion, mouthwash, hand scrub) made the stay even better. We highly recommend!
