About this property

Saratoga Guest Cottage. Quiet & Tranquil Hideaway, Mountain & Ocean View

A beautiful hide-a-way, tucked in the trees. Lovely filtered views of the Olympic range and Holmes Harbor. Clean and peaceful. Just 8 miles from Langley, 6 miles from Freeland and conveniently near biking and hiking trails. Private beach just a short 15 minute walk away.

The guest house is clean and tidy and nicely decorated with lovely little nooks for a quiet glass of wine or a good read and also equipped with a small office area. There is a patio for sitting outside on a summer evening.

Wildlife and nature abound on this property. Watch the deer, rabbits, eagles and native birds and listen to the sounds of seals, and the frogs in the nearby pond as you fall asleep...... or just close the window for silence.

We will consider allowing a dog to stay on a case by case basis.

Whidbey Island is just a 15 minute ferry-ride from the mainland in Mukilteo. It is close to the city of Seattle and Vancouver but very rural and quiet. Nearby you will find beaches, biking and hiking trails, golf courses and pleasant seaside towns. Most of all you will find peaceful tranquility.

We are located just 8 miles from Langley with its shops, restaurants, theaters, music and public beaches. Langley has a pleasant downtown with great walking streets for strolling.

We are just 6 miles from Freeland where you will find a more-than-adequate shopping center for all your daily needs and also Double Bluff beach, a lovely and seemingly endless, dog friendly beach.

Bayview is also just 6 miles away with restaurants, a bicycle shop and a garden nursery as well as a summer-long Saturday farmers market.

To the North is Greenbank farm with café, wine shop, and cheese shop in a beautiful wetlands setting. And, Coupeville is another lovely seaside town shops, restaurants and is the home of the famous Penn Cove mussels. Near Coupeville is the historic Ebeys Landing and the Keystone ferry where you can access Port Townsend and the Olympic Peninsula.

Deception Pass is on the north end of the Island and a truly spectacular place to visit with camping, beaches and state park. If you travel over the bridge at Deception Pass which connects Whidbey and Fidalgo Islands you are just 10 minutes from Anacortes: a quaint seaside town with a busy and attractive harbor, antique stores and restaurants.

Comfortable, cozy & quiet

Cottage was home away from home. Peaceful. We worked remotely so quiet was important. Cottage had all amenities we needed & clean. short walk to beach for daily breaks. Town was quick trip away and so much to do on the island from quick afternoon exploring or longer. Ashlyn was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Thank you.

Weekend getaway

Cozy, clean guest house bungalow. Perfect for my husband, me, and our 2 dogs. Quiet, beautiful views (saw an eagle fly over the kitchen window this morning), lots of deer on our evening stroll. Very well-appointed kitchen, great DVD selection, and thoughtful information about the island like places to hike, eat, shop, and walk/hike with the dogs.

Super getaway!

Perfect place for us and our dog. Very quiet, easy walk down to private beach, and Ashlyn's breakfast of baked eggs and crab was fantastic! Ashlyn has lots of ideas for activities and restaurants, including dog-friendly places. In the cottage, the kitchen is well-appointed and there are lots of comfortable places to sit, and a desk, too. It's also very sunny and has a view of the Olympics.

Relaxing Stay

We enjoyed our time in this beautiful, relaxing setting. The cottage was close to the towns and villages on the island, yet we felt we were in the country. It was so much fun watching the deer and other wildlife on the grounds. Ashyln was a great host who provided a well-equipped home and excellent advice on the area in her comprehensive "guide book". The doggy greeting committee of Tabasco and Lula made it feel like home. Highly recommended.

Just what we needed!

It was such a wonderful stay! We had oatmeal, chocolate, and raisin cookies waiting for us when we arrived. The place was cool with a soft breeze from the windows being opened before our arrival (with the heat of the day, we appreciated this thoughtful touch). This place has everything you need. A quiet place to read, games, movies, walking trails, and the grounds are beautiful! Thank you, Ashlyn, Tabasco, and Luna for the amazing breakfast visits. Ashlyn created a delicious crab hash (poached egg, bacon, pickled shallots, asparagus, bull kelp, curled green onions and red onions) for our first breakfast. This morning we enjoyed personalized Dutch babies with freshly-picked tarragon and blueberries. We hope to see you all again soon.

Beautiful, peaceful spot.

Our host, Ashlyn, was helpful, kind and accommodating. Her property is peaceful, beautiful and well maintained. I’m a photographer and got amazing photos of birds, deer and bunnies right on the property. Our apartment was well furnished and spacious, with views of water and mountains. It is on the second level over the garage with a fairly steep staircase. She also has a bed and breakfast on the property and is a gourmet cook. You might even get a taste of crab if it’s crabbing season. We’ll definitely be returning here for another stay.

Another wonderful stay!

We have stayed at this cabin multiple times over the past five years; it says something that this is a place we return to time and again. We love it! This latest trip (7/2 - 7/9/21) included me, my husband, our adult son, and our dog. Although the cabin is small, so much thought has gone into its layout and functionality that it comfortably accommodated three active adults plus dog. As always, the cabin was extremely clean; check-in and out was easy and convenient; and communication with Ashlyn, the owner, was spot-on. Ashlyn is a wonderful hostess with a wealth of information about Whidbey Island and the surrounding area. She has figured out the perfect balance of being available and helpful to guests while in no way obtrusive. I hope we are able to return soon!

Lovely cottage with the nicest host

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Ashlyn's Langley cottage. We are pretty frequent travelers in normal times, but I am immunocompromised so this was our first trip since 2019(!!) and our first overnight trip with our pandemic dog. We brought tons of stuff for the four-day stay but didn't end up needing most of it because of how well-stocked the cottage was, including doggie bowls, bed, and towel, kitchen supplies (even Sriracha for when my husband forgot to ask for some from Island Nosh where we ordered takeout one evening), extra bedding (I love to be cozy), and a blow dryer. But the best part of the trip was getting to know Ashlyn. We reached out to her when we found out she owns the B&B next door to the cottage and saw her delicious-looking food on her Instagram page. We are big foodies and we texted Ashlyn to find out where we might be able to sample her food and she ended up cooking us a scrumptious breakfast the next morning that accommodated all of my food allergies (avoiding gluten, dairy, and eggs for breakfast is no easy feat). We ended up chatting with her for two hours about all things food, dog, and Whidbey related and we met her adorable and very well-behaved golden retriever named Tabasco. Even though our trip ended up getting rained out, my husband and I enjoyed some quality time and unexpectedly delicious food from Ashlyn's kitchen and around the island, and we plan to return to Whidbey again before the year ends. Thank you Ashlyn!

Every host should learn from our hostess. She provisioned the cottage with all that was needed and then some. She was very friendly and so was her dog., but not interfering. Very quiet. One could just sit and listen to the birds.

Great location on Whidbey

This charming little spot had everything we needed to get out of the city for a few days and enjoy the charms of Whidbey Island. Even though we were in the middle of an extreme heatwave, we managed to stay cool. There are plenty of outdoor shady spots on Ashlyn's property and a fan in the cottage. In less than 15 minutes we could drive to Double Bluff Beach, one of the most spectacular beaches in the state, where our dog loved running free and chasing other pups in the surf. Thanks for a great stay, Ashlyn!

Cozy secluded stay on Whibey

We wanted a nice quiet relaxing weekend away from the city and that's exactly what we got. Even though the place feels a little older, it is very cozy and has a lot of cute details. The location is very central to Coupeville, Fort Casey, Freeland, and Langley but far away removed that it's very peaceful. Has a lot of nice walks/hikes nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Ashlyn

Host profile image
Trained as a chef in Seattle, I was happy to move to Whidbey Island to live among the wineries, farms, and stunning water and mountain views. Along with the Saratoga Guest Cottage, I run a small B&B that shares the same property as the cottage. My golden retriever, Tabasco, mini golden doodle, Lula, and I look forward to hosting your stay!

What makes this property unique

The Saratoga Guest Cottage sits on over 2 acres of land and is a short walk down to a private beach. There are serene views from the cottage of Holmes Harbor and the Olympic Peninsula. With west facing views, there are many opportunities for spectacular sunsets.

The Saratoga Guest Cottage is a birders paradise. Many bald eagles, crossbill finches, pileated woodpeckers and herons can be seen on the property. Don't be surprised if you hear the playful bark of a harbor seal during your stay!
