Christmas is available for a cozy retreat w/awesome views & fine dining nearby!

In a fairy tale setting of forests and gardens, the charming Stone Cottage sits just above Padilla Bay, with wonderful views of the Islands, Guemes Channel, the distant Cascades and Mount Rainier.

The Stone Cottage is situated on beautiful Samish Island, one of the lesser known (and best kept secrets!) of the San Juan Archipelago, off the northwest coast of Washington. It is a "drive-to" island connected to the mainland by land reclaimed through a system of dikes- created in the early 20th century.

Samish Island is located six miles from the quaint town of Edison; featuring several unique galleries and restaurants plus an award-winning Brewstillery. It is less than 10 miles west of Interstate 5, and 25 minutes south of Bellingham. It is surrounded by Chuckanut, Samish and Padilla bays, offering some of the best Clams, Crabs and Oysters in the Northwest!

Once part of the ancestral homelands of the Samish Indians, a Coast Salish tribe of the Pacific Northwest, the island is now a mix of rustic cabins and sprawling estates set amongst deep forests, rocky cliffs and sandy beaches. The island is also home to a large number of bald eagles, blue heron and other wildlife. The quiet island roads are perfect for long walks and bicycle rides (don't forget to wave to everyone!)

Like stepping back in time, this local landmark was built from island stone in the 1940's. It has now been carefully restored to retain it's rustic charm while offering every modern convenience.

A rare find and truly unique property where all of the amenities of a top rated B & B are provided with the privacy and comfort of your own Vacation Home. Your peace and privacy are our top priority. Let the awesome views inspire you and the closeness to nature restore you.

Enjoy a board game or a classic movie in the cozy cedar paneled living room. Watch the ships and sailboats go by from the window seat, or curl up with a good book by the original stone fireplace. The patio is the perfect spot for summer evening cocktails, barbecuing and intimate campfires.

Whether you are planning a Private Escape, a Romantic Retreat, or a Fun Friends Getaway, the Stone Cottage is the perfect choice!

30th Anniversary
We recently had the pleasure of staying at stone cottage on Samish Bay for our 30th anniversary, and let me tell you, it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a picturesque view of the bay. The cottage itself was charming and full of character. The stone exterior gave it a rustic feel, while the interior was tastefully decorated with cozy furnishings and thoughtful touches. The fireplace in the living room was the perfect spot to cozy up with a glass of wine and enjoy the view. Speaking of the view, it was absolutely breathtaking. The cottage was situated just a few steps away from the bay, and we spent many mornings sipping coffee, watching the sun shimmering over the water. It was a serene and peaceful experience that we will never forget. The amenities provided in the cottage were top-notch. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare our meals, and the comfortable bed ensured a restful night's sleep. One of the highlights of our stay was exploring the surrounding area. We took long walks along the beach, discovering hidden coves and enjoying the fresh sea breeze. We also visited nearby hiking trails and enjoyed the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. The location of the cottage was convenient for day trips to nearby towns and attractions. Overall, our stay at the cozy stone Samish Bay was a dream come true. It provided the perfect setting for our 30th anniversary celebration.

Stellar experience in an absolutely amazing space. We felt very much at home and comfortable and quite spoiled by our hosts at The Stone Cottage. It's beauty is very rarely matched and the quiet and peacefulness of the island was incredible. We are so thankful to have discovered Samish Island. It is a very special place.

My husband and I were equally charmed by this comfortable cottage. Lovely views of Padilla Bay melt any stress. Short drive to Edison for great food and funky galleries. We visited in mid-Feb and had some incredible birding moments nearby - short eared owl, snow geese, trumpeter swans, & dunlin murmuration. Highly recommend Stone Cottage, we'll visit again!
