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.

Anniversary
It was super homey and refreshing. Everything was clean and very quiet. The property owner left us eggs and fresh tulips. The stairs are a bit steep to the upstairs but well lit. Be aware there is no TV so if your looking to watch a late night movie bring a laptop or portable TV. We never had any interaction at all with the owner. The main window of the cottage looks directly into the homeowners own main house so for privacy you have to close the main blinds in the main area of the home that lets in light. The back part of the home is beautiful with the cherry blossom trees blooming, you just have to look past the old sink randomly placed in the middle of the brush. Overall a nice stay. Peaceful, quiet,clean.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway
My partner and I had a lovely stay. The house is really well appointed and comfortable. It definitely had a farm house/cabin vibe. It was very quiet and peaceful. We had a great time.

LOVELY CHILLY GETAWAY
Enjoyed our overnight stay in this lovely little cabin. it is record temperatures, super cold (20 degrees) but the owners had lots of nice touches, plenty of blankets, throw blankets, even snuggly socks in a basket by the door. Loved the fresh eggs from their chickens. it was so cold we did not bother to put our cold food items in the fridge. Brrr. Thanks for the lovely accommodations, would definitely stay here again.

Great stay
Everything was perfect. One exception the twin bed was pretty uncomfortable. I ended up on a couch which worked out fine for me. Hosts are generous and helpful. 5 stars

Prior to my arrival, I hadn't received ANY communication from the owners of the property. No one was there to greet me. I knocked on the main property & no one was home except a barking dog. I returned to the cottage to discover the door was unlocked, which was disconcerting. The pervasive odors of bacon and DOG were all over. There was rotten food in the refrigerator and I wanted to turn around and get back on the ferry. Hours later I received an email. The owners were off island for the weekend. How lucky for them.

Comfortable and tasteful
We had a very pleasant stay. Everything was thoughtfully detailed. The upstairs sitting area was our favorite place to hang out, and that was in addition to a living room downstairs.

Great cottage on Vashon
We only stayed over night but this was a terrific spot near the north end ferry terminal. When we arrived we were greeted by the owners and they were very friendly. They gave us the run down of the property and gave some recommendations for places to eat. We will be sure to visit again!
