Charming Vashon Island Cottage - Just 3 minutes from the ferry.
Enjoy peace and quiet at the Cottage at Useful Bear Farm. Vashon Island has lots to offer year-round: beaches, hiking, biking and bird-watching. Conveniently located near the north-end ferry and close to town where there are wonderful shops and restaurants. The cottage has full kitchen, bathroom and living/dining room on the first floor. Upstairs is a large sleeping loft with queen bed separated by a divider and a trundle bed and sleeper sofa. A portion of the proceeds from the cottage go to local housing programs.
It has a charming, cozy atmosphere and a sense of connection to the surrounding landscape. My favorite part is the motion sensor lights on the staircase.
Nice and peaceful escape from the city. We appreciated that there were fresh eggs (!) for us and not a long list of cleaning to do at checkout (no list at all!) we enjoyed this cute quiet spot immensely.
This was a cozy, comfortable cottage and well furnished. A very quiet & private location close to town, shopping & restaurants. The owners were very friendly and we would stay here again and recommend it to others.
Located not far from the Seattle Ferry. Owner is very kind and welcoming. Has all the comforts of home including French press, baking pans and other stove top pans, oven with broiler, Keurig and hot water kettle, Bose system, plenty of blankets, and what I loved was a full bath tub (and shower). Stay here for quiet place near the sea!
We really liked having the farm fresh eggs that was a nice touch. Watching the deer in the meadow was really fun , but one of the chairs is cracked in multiple places. Lots of games to play but was disappointed there was no TV. Not a deal breaker. Huge sports fans, and thankfully there was a radio. Think you wanna treat for various bugs. Spiders especially but did find a larger bug on the flat sheet. Was a bit musty but great airflow upstairs. Over all for a cottage/barn it was a nice stay.
We enjoyed our stay at this comfortable, and hospitable cottage on Vashon Island. Super clean, artsy, quality linens, well stocked bathroom, beautiful setting. We will be back!
Everything about the stay was excellent. It's a great little place if you want some time on the island. Very clean, close to town and the north end ferry, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Absolutely recommend it.
Comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully stocked. Great location and easy to get to. Hosts were perfect, available but unobtrusive. Would definitely stay here again.
Lovely property, the host was very friendly. Easy to get to and find. The plums they left out for us from their farm were the best Iâve ever had. Would stay here again and recommend to others.
Our hosts were very welcoming and the cottage was charming. The kid enjoyed checking out the small farm on the property (hello chickens!) and picking wild blackberries.
This charming cottage was perfectly appointed and so comfortable. Convenient to the ferry and the downtown restaurants and shops. Deborah greeted us on arrival and made sure we had everything we needed. We hope to visit again!
We had a fantastic stay at this property on Vashon. It was incredibly easy to find and to check in to the house. Our friendly hosts set up a lovely place to stay and we even had fresh eggs waiting for us. Thank you for welcoming us to your lovely property
